How to plot sale over time?

I have a spreadsheet that lists various sales. One column (Column B) contains the time of day of the sale. I'm trying to create a chart that will show me the time of day that my sales are occurring. I'm not concerned about the date as I'm already tracking that somewhere else. I just want to see what time of day my sales are happening. I'm really stumped as to how to make this happen. I'm not even sure what kind of chart I need.
The cells are formatted like so: 06/03/00002010 8:17:47 AM
The beginning date needs to get ignored as that's the date that the report was run. It's not actually related to the sale at all. I just need to capture the time. Any thoughts on this?

If I'm reading your question correctly, you need to start by separating your data into parts of day.
Here's an example that separates the numbers into columns by half hour periods, then sums the results in a footer row (row 30).
The active formula in E2 is shown at the top. The formula is filled down to row 29 and right to column G. Column B here is formatted to show both the date and time parts of the 'time' in the cells. Dates have been edited in rows 9 through 14 to demonstrate that the formula disregards the date portion of the entry.
The summary data in the footer row may be used for the chart.

Barry

  • How do I make an XY-Graph plot points over time?

    I am building a program to plot and take data of a relationship between two voltages.  One is voltage is uniquely dependent on the other.  So far I have successfully built an XY-Graph to plot the voltages against each other (Voltage1 along the x-axis and Voltage2 along the y-axis).  However, the XY-Graph only diplays the point (V1, V2) at the instantaneous time I am looking at it, and does not continuously plot different points as I vary the independent voltage.  I need the graph to display all the points that occur as I vary the independent voltage.  As of right now, all I see is one little cursor that moves all over the graph as I vary it.  My program consists of a While Loop that contains all of the following:  two seperate data anolog input functions that take both voltage separately from my board.  The the output samples from each 'AI Sample' function are then bundled into one cluster using the 'bundle' function.  The cluster output from the 'bundle' function is then wired to a 'build array' function.  The 1-D array output from the 'build array' function is then wired to my 'XY-Graph'.  How do I get the XY-Graph to plot a point every millisecond or so?

    Bundling and then using the Build Array is not correct. Yuo can see the correct method in the help for an XY Graph below. In order to use the normal XY Grpah, you would have two shif registers. One for the X array and one for the Y. Bundle the two arrays and then wire to the graph.
    The other way is to use the Express XY Graph. With that, you can just wire your scalars to the X and Y inputs and set the Reset input to false.

    Hi DFGray.
    Thanks for your post.
    If you look at the attached file, how do I make the changes that you describes. Maybe you could make the changes in the vi and post it to me?
    I just think that I have be done all the things that you suggests but still I can't make it work.

  • How to plot contour using time stamp

    Hello,
    I need help on the following:
    I acquire size distribution data each minute from a particle counter. I would like to plot the data as a contour plot using time stamp on the x-axis, the size bins on the y-axis and the 2D data on the z-axis. I cannot get the contour functionality in LV 2011 to accept the time stamp format. I did change the format of the x-axis to "absolute time" but it still doesn't work, see simplified diagram below.
    Any advice on reformatting a time stamp to something the contour plot understands??!?
    Thanks a lot,
    Claus

    Hi Mogensen!
    You could use the "To Double Precision Float" vi to convert the timestamp to a double prescion number as mentioned in this forum post "time stamp to number function". As mentioned in that forum, the number is based on the LabVIEW epoch date so you can use it to compare values taken at a specific time.
    I can't look right now but will that work?
    I thought the 3D stuff was single and the magnitude of the time stamp would swamp the difference in time stamps.
    Just thinking out loud.

  • Graph power over time

    Hi,
    I am new to Signal Express.  I am using it with the USB-6289 to measure system power on my DUT.  I have a target sense resistor on the board that I have sense lines connected to and thse lines are connected to analog 1 and analog 2 on the 6289.  The goal is to measure the voltage drop across the resistor and use it to calculate the power and graph it in real time with Signal Express.
    I created a task for voltages ai0 and ai1 for the voltage drop across the resistor.
    Tried to run the project but I am not seeing any kind of output on the screen.  
    I verified the 6289 is being detected and calibrated with NIMAX.  Also created a task with NIMAX.  However, I am not sure how to specify power over time.  How do I specify power over time in Signal Express if I have sense lines connected to a resistor on a board?
    Thanks, Joe

    Hi Joe,
    Are you able to run and see the voltage in MAX when you create the task? How do you have your voltage input set up in SignalExpress?
    Here is a link that might be helpful for setting and collecting data in SignalExpress: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5903/en/
    As far as calculating the power over time, you can create a customer scale. Here is: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/31A3EF18B6141E2C862579DE0077ABA7

  • Plotting amplitude of one spectral peak over time

    Hi,
        I am trying to create a VI where the DAQ continually aquires, plots and saves a waveform in millisecond timeframe (which is already done in this instance), then takes that waveform, finds a specific peak (most likely the first one), and plots the amplitude of that peak over time (30+ minutes, one point every scan that is obtained). Essentially, I have a very fast detector attached to a Gas Chromatograph, and I want to select a single ion and monitor the amplitude of that ion. I can plot the waveforms over time and do this in post processing, but what I would like to do is have the "slow" plot continuously update and display as it moves through time. Attached is the VI this will go into, using IMS Software V1.3.vi,  the subsection is the "GC Mode" it seems like I should be using the "peak detect.vi.", but I am unfamiliar with how this works, and so I do not know how to show a continuously updating graph or pull the amplitudes out and plot them. Thank you for your help,
    <>< Eric

    i get an amplitude over time plot, but it does not appear until after all of the iterations have stopped
    I have not looked at your VI (because I am in a previous version of LabVIEW), but this is probably because your graph is outside of the loop.
    Here is how you can get a graph of the peaks (all of the peaks, per iteration):
    Or if you only wanted a certain peak (and how that peak changes over many iterations):

  • How to plot VS time after transforming data from Dynamic to array ?

    Hi ! 
    I am currently using a DAQ Assistant to get dynamic data from 2 channels input.
    With a splitting VI, I substract one to the other and plot them ( Graphic named 1 )
    Then I use a VI which transform the Dynamic result of the soustraction into an array, in order to calculate its mean.
    After that step, when I turn my script ON, I am well capable to observe dynamically my mean evolve from an indicator
    BUT
    I can not observe it plotted VS time as I would like.
    In other words, from the dynamic data I have value VS time, I get the mean of it over time, and I would like to be able to plot it back VS time, with the previous mean points plotted.
    All I can get now is a single point moving up and down, because it is lacking time data.
    I attached to this post a simple represenation of my issue, I hope I provide enough information.
    I just would like to be able to plot like the window on the left, and not having the one on the right ...
    Thank you !

    Hi ! 
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    I see what you mean, it makes sense.
    But how will I be able to plot the mean VS time if now I have all my data splited into arrays ? 
    I am not sure I talk clearly ... In other ords how will I rebind that mean and Time into one wire to send it into graph VI ?

  • Plotting boolean digital signals over postion (angle degrees) not over time

    Hello all,
    I would like to plot two boolean signals over position (angle degrees) and not over time. Any pointers on how to do this? The two digital signals are coming from a VI on my FPGA code (running cRIO - 9014), and the location in degrees is also generated by the same VI on my FPGA code. 
    I tried to use "Boolean Array to Digital.vi" and a "Digital Waveform Graph", but it will only plot my 2 digital signals over time and I need to plot it over position. I took that vi from example "Digital Waveform DT Graph Demo". 
    Another issue with plotting it against time is the sampling rate. I'm plotting cam and crank signals over engine position (crank angle degrees), how do I plot these signals in position intervals of 720 degrees. Could I tweak the sampling somehow that I would be able to see stills of these intervals? The position date is continously running from 0 to 720, when it reaches 720 it starts again in 0.
    Thanks!

    You'd have to use an XY graph so you can define your own x-axis, in your case it would be degrees.

  • How do I access my time capsule over the internet

    How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

    The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
    Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
    You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
    Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

    My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
    Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

    It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
    Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
    If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.
