How to "lock" a chart reference

I use numbers to track daily activities for my business. Each row is a day and the columns each represent the different activities I track.
I use a pie chart to visualize how my work day is split up between these tasks.
Creating a year-to-date pie-chart was simple... Creating a chart from a footer row totalling each column.
HERE'S MY QUANDRY:
I like seeing a "today" chart as well... Since as each day passes I add a new row to the top of the sheet - I initially tried creating my chart from that first row. However - the following day when I add a new day (row) above the previous day - the pie chart reference stays with the original row I defined it as. I must be missing something... somewhere... (?) - I'd like to tell my pie chart to ALWAYS and ONLY reference the second row of the table. (b2).
I thought I'd be clever by adding another table with a single header (matching my primary logging table) and a single row and in each cell of that row referencing it's counterpart in the main table. Again - the references shift as soon as I add another row.
ARRRGgh!!  I mean - yes... I can (and have) simply been redefining the chart references daily as a workaround. Pretty painless on the desktop version. Though on the iOS version - this is a pain. It would be wonderful if there's a way to simply tell that one pie chart to ONLY look at Row 2 for data.
Here's a screen shot:
Hopefully this is something just so incredibly easy I'm overlooking it.
Someone - please make me feel dumb!  :-)

Try something like this...
I made two tables similar to yours.  The top one is name "Entry" then bottom one is named "Today"
In the table "Today" enter the following:
A1=OFFSET(INDIRECT("Entry::A1"), 0, COLUMN()−1)
this is shorthand for... select cell A1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("Entry::A1"), 0, COLUMN()−1)
select cell A1, copy
select all the cells in row 1, paste

  • How to "lock" a cell reference in Numbers??

    HELP! I am a recent convert from Windows based machines to Apple. I am very familiar with Excel and need to figure out how to do something in Numbers....
    I need to know how to lock a cell reference so that when you drag the formula down or across it keeps the same cell reference. In Excel you can do this by picking the cell and then hitting F4 to either lock the column, row or both.
    Anybody out there help a newbie?? Thanks

    Thanks Jerrold, I'm using them that way. My request has to do with
    using them as an Absolute Reference versus a relative reference.
    If I specify a header ref for a cell in a formula, when I drag that
    formula to some other cells I want Numbers to treat it as absolute,
    ie. as if I had said $A$5. What I am finding is that it does it's default
    behaviour, ie. it is translating the formula reference to a new cell just
    as it would do for a reference like A5.
    ie. with header references, what is the equivalent of specifying $A$5?
    ($header name doesn't work ).
    thx, rob

  • How to Lock Form

    Dear Members,
    How to Lock a Form if two Users are working at the same time on that form.
    I need to put a Lock if the form is used by another User and Release the Lock only when the User using it closes the form.
    How can we achieve this in Oracle Forms 6i. we are on 11.5.10.2.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    Using Locking Mode will not stop the issue of one user being told that the record is locked by another. I'm not sure about For Update but one thing it certainly won't do is prevent 2 users inserting the same record, so one user could get an error to say the record already exists, when they commit. Anyway, what happens to the For Update lock when the form is committed?
    [Dbms_Lock|http://www.psoug.org/reference/dbms_lock.html] can be used to solve the problem with the following process.
    Create a new package variable, control block item or global to store a "lock handle" (varchar2(200)).
    When a record is selected in the master block, attempt to release the lock for the stored "lock handle" using dbms_lock.release(lock_handle). Ignore the function's return value (except when developing/debugging!).
    Now create a new lock handle using dbms_lock.allocate_unique(lock_name, lock_handle). The lock_name should be a function of the master record's primary key so that it is unique to the record. Store the lock handle in the new variable.
    Reuest a lock for the new lock handle, using dbms_lock.request(lock_handle). If the function returns 0 then you have been granted the lock, otherwise you have not.
    If you do not have the lock then you need to disable inserts, updates and deletes in the child block. It's nice to set the field backgrounds to grey as well. If you do have the lock then the block should be enabled and the field backgrounds returned to their original colour.
    In post-form, release the lock whose handle is stored in the lock_handle variable.

    The cpu resources are only limited once the cpu's are 100% utilized. It is highly unlikely that dom0 will try to use 100% of a cpu, let alone all cpus. Only when there are no idle physical cpus would you run into issues.
    You may want to try reducing the number of vcpus in the windows guest. I have seen reports from users claiming that having more vcpus in a windows guest causes it to run slower.

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

  • How can we get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as frame is created in Document?

    Hi,
    When ever we copy any text/table cells from any frame, and paste it directly on page, A new Frame is created and the pasted text is placed inside that frame.
    Now to capture this frame creation, We have two possible solutions:
    1) Attach Observer on Document 'kDocBoss' on IID_IHIERARCHY_DOCUMENT and it will notify on frame creation in update function.
    2) Notification event on new story creation.
    Now, I need to perform some changes in the newly created table, for example:
    a)  Need to delete XML tags from newly created frame
    b)  Need to perform action on table cells if any in the created frame.
    But the problem is, when the event comes, I can access basic properties of frame like it's name, type etc, but it does not give me the
    XML element on frame or tables in frame until the event is com pleat.
    I know it's quite a specif requirement, but I guess many of you might have faced these kind of challenges, while processing the event.
    Does any one has any idea how I can get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as it is created?

    Hi Kapoor,
    please give also others a chance, and excuse that I get up late on vacation ;-)
    Anyway, I'd keep the story creation responder to recognize the copy, then combine it with an observer on the backing xml story to catch the associated XML element which is created there. Something like below:
    UIDRef xmlStoryRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetBackingStore(doc);
    InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject ( xmlStoryRef,IID_ISUBJECT );
    subject->AttachObserver(observer,IID_IIDXMLELEMENT,observer->GetAttachIID());

  • How can i get the reference to Controls from VI-reference

    Hello,
    i have a VI with ~5 controls on it.
    And with the Object "Current VIs path" and "Open VI reference" i can create a reference to the current VI.
    How can i create now a reference to the controls? (Starting with VI-reference?
    Of course i know how to create directly a reference from a control.
    My idea wasm that there areperhaps properties like:
    - Number of controls
    - Name of control
    - Type of control (string, bool. number...)
    Is this somewhere there and i just dont find it?
    Thanks for your help

    Once you have the VI Refnum, it's a two-step process. Wire the VI Refnum into a property node and get a reference to the Front Panel. Output the Front Panel reference into another property node and select the property Controls[ ], which outputs an array of references for all the controls on the front panel.

  • File Lock - How to lock and unlock a file ? Can we do that for an FTP File?

    Hi All,
    I like to retrieve a file from the FTP server using Apache Commons Net libraries.
    for example if the file size is 20MB. When the file is in the progress of copying or transferring from the FTP server i need to lock the local file which is in our local directory so that no other process will use the same local file which is in the process of copying otherwise partially copied files will be used by another process.
    the file should be locked when it was in the progress of copying from the server. I have an automatic process which will access file objects at certain time and try to process the files.
    I like to know the simplest and easiest way to lock and unlock a file object locally which is trying to copy a file from the FTP server which is of huge size.
    And also i like to know how to lock and unlock a file in general?
    Thanks,
    J.Kathir

    we can set it read only only when it complete finishing the writing.
    can we able to make the file as read-only while transferring data to file.
    How to achieve it ? pls give me some sample code
