Interactive chart in Numbers

Is it possible to delete bars in an interactive chart in Numbers? The chart part, not the table. In other words, the chart is too wide and I only want 3 bars, not 5.

Illustrating Badunit's point:
Click the chart, then Edit Data References. You will see something like this.
If you want to remove North from the chart you click it either in the chart or the blue dot in the table and hit delete.
As for printing it to pdf, if you don't want the table with it, you could click the chart, command-x to cut, add a new sheet (the big plus sign uper left), and in a new sheet command-v to paste. Then File > Print, select the sheet that has the chart chart, hit Print... lower right, and choose the PDF option lower left.

Interactive Charts in Numbers 3.0

I've read the help here but thus far haven't figured out how to use the new interactive charts that made their debut in Numbers 3.0. For me sliders don't slide and buttons don't push. So I'm "missing something." Well, actually, it seems I'm missing everything.
Ian gave an interesting example of an interactive chart created in Numbers 2.3. But these new ones in 3.0 (I think) are supposed to do something new.
Has anyone figured them out? If so, how-to examples and use cases (what would one use them for) would be much appreciated.

Hi Arthur,
Well that turned out to be really easy! I added columns, chose the cells in the table, Chart>Interactive Chart and Numbers set up a chart with a slider that cycles through the rows (or columns, via the Plot Columns as Series/Plot Rows as Series switcher at lower left after clicking Edit Data References). Here I get eight different views on the data without an extra lookup table or a formula.
Not sure about the default colors, but this is convenient. And great for displaying data on an iPad to show people rather than printing out a whole bunch of different charts. Thanks!

How can I display a specified row from a chart in a 2nd chart in Numbers?

I have a chart in Numbers '09, which contains tasks with their due dates. This chart is rather large and is divided into several categories (i.e. home, work, taxes, etc.). Each row in the chart has a task name and due date in addition to other information in columns. Since it has many tasks and they are divided into categories, it's difficult to check what tasks are due this week. I have been trying to add a small chart to display only the task name and due date from all categories due in the next 10 days.
I assume I should add a chart in the work sheet and use some string of functions to find tasks due this week, and copy them to the 2nd chart. If someone could suggest a string of functions, or tell me an easier way to do this I would be grateful.
Jim

Hi Jim,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Using the correct vocabulary would make your request much easier to read. A "chart" in Numbers is a bar graph, a line graph, or a pie chart.
What you're referring to as a "chart" is a "table."
So:
You have a table listing tasks and their due dates, plus other information (presumably all separate columns).
You want a separate table listing only those tasks whose due date falls within the next ten days.
Here are two ways to make those tasks stand out. The first uses conditional formatting to change the fill colour of the Date cells on the first table; the second uses an index and VLOOKUP to transfer the urgent tasks to a second table.
The conditional formatting rules shown are applied to all cells in column A. Dates within 5 days of "today" (January 13, 2011 in the example) get a red fill and white type; dates within 10 days a yellow fill.
The same rules, with effective periods reduced to 2 and 4 days, are applied to dates in the Urgent table below.
Here a column is added to the left of what was column A to hold an index created by the formula below, entered into the new cell A2 and filled down to the bottom of that column. As noted in the header cell, this column may be hidden.
=IFERROR(IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(),B,"D")<11,DATEDIF(TODAY(),B,"D")+ROW()/10000,66000), 66000)
The formula provides a unique numerical value in each row where the date is less than 11 days from today, and a large fixed value in rows where the date is before today or more than 10 days away.
On the second table, "Urgent" the formula below, entered in A2 and filled down the full column and right to column B transfers the dates and tasks due within ten days from the table "All tasks" in order of 'days to complete,' with the earliest ones at the top of the list.
=IF(SMALL(All tasks :: $A,ROW()-1)<66000,VLOOKUP(SMALL(All tasks :: $A,ROW()-1),All tasks :: $A$2:$C$21,COLUMN()+1,FALSE),"")
Descriptions of all the functions used, including examples, may be found in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. Details on Conditional formatting may be found in the Numbers '09 User Guide. Both guides may be downloaded through the Help menu in Numbers '09. Both are recommended.

Barry

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Trying to link a chart from Numbers to Pages

"To update a linked chart in Keynote or Pages:
Make sure that the Numbers spreadsheet containing the updated chart is saved. In Keynote or Pages, select the chart and click the Refresh button."
Where is the Refresh button, please? It may be really obvious but I can't find it. Thanks

Hi procrastina,
fruhulda's comments motivated me try this. Please follow this from the Pages'09 User Guide:
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Repeat,
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Then you will see the Refresh buttton (recycle arrows to the right of your chart in Pages):

Ian.
P.S. In Australia and UK, we call that a graph, not a chart.

Content Viewer and interactive charts

Hello
I have created an interactive chart using HTML5 and Javascript and imported in InDesign using the Overay--> Webcontent.
The animation and the interaction is working well on the iPad2, but when I click on the screen to interact with the chart the menu of the Content Viewer is appearing and disappearing. I find this very disturbing.
Do you know how it is possible to avoid this? It would be nice if the menu would only appear when I click somewhere on the page but not on the interactive chart/web overlay.
Unfortunately on Android (Galaxy 10') the animation and interaction are visible but very very slow....
Thanks!!

Problem: chart-legend (numbers) doesn't copy into Keynote

I have some charts from numbers (imported xls-files) that i want to copy into a keynote-presentation.
The chart can be pasted into the presentation, but the chart-legend never shows up.
I've tried selecting and copying the chart and the chart-legend but that doesn't work. Copying only the chart-legend also doesn't work.
Can somebody help me out here?
thanks,
jojo

For some reason, you need to Arrange > Group your Chart and Legend before Copying if you want them to stay together. Not sure why this is so, but the fix works.
My guess is:
when we copy paste without leaving a given program, we use a structure of the clipboard defined by the program itself. This structure gives the ability to copy paste different kinds of objects.
For instance, if we copy a chart and its legend in Numbers and paste in a different location in a Numbers document, which may be a different one, we paste the chart and the legend.
When we leave the source program to a enter a different program, if the proprietary clipboard format of this program is different than the source one, the clipboard's contents is "normalized" to match the destination program's requirements. When we pass from Numbers to Keynote, a clipboard containing a chart and a legend is normalized as a graphic object.
If we try to paste in a TextEdit document formatted as a Text one we will get nothing.
If we paste in a Textedit document formatted as RTF, we will get the chart.
My hope is
(a) that the iWork team build a proprietary clipboard structure common to the different components of the suite. I feel that this may be done.
(b) that the operating system is able to transfer the proprietary clipboard components between two programs using the same. I'm not sure that this requirement is satisfied at this time.

A chart in Numbers causing crashes

A chart in Numbers is causing Numbers to slow down & stutter when it is seleced or edited. The memory is eventually depleted and Numbers crashes. I'm using Numbers 2008 1.0.3. This chart is pulling info from formulas in a large table. That table is pulling infor from several smaller charts. This is odd to me and it is the first time I have had this problem. I have restart Numbers & the MBP. In both cases, the memnory is returned the same & I restart. The file is fine for a good while unless I start messing with that chart. Then, the free memory excellerates it's disappearing act & Numbers crashes. I will pay closer attention to the wired, active, & inactive. I use iStat to follow this stuff. What could be causing the memory disappearing act & the crashing? It's just a chart. I did see other posting about memory loss for Numbers 2009, but nothing within a year or that really addressed my issue.

There are only 4 lines with 50 points or less in each line. Maybe my definition of large isn't so large.
I didn't upgrade to Numbers 2009, because it came out so quick that I thought it wouldn't have many changes & I thought another update would come out. I have been waiting for the next update ... and waiting. I'm surprised it has taken this long & am guessing that another should be out any time, now. It has been 5 years and Numbers is missing some seemingly simple features like scatter plots & linear equations.
What would b the advantage of upgrading to Numbers 2009 that would be worth it & how would it eliminate this glitching and crashing?

Create an interactive chart

How can I create an interactive chart like this: http://se.deltasd.bc.ca/vision/ while using HTML5?

Thanks a lot for your response.
I was able to create the parameters and now able to select the measure and facility and display that data in the table and chart.
Now I am trying to see if I can add a line(target values) on top of the column chart to show the whether the scores of each measures, for each quarters are how far from the target values.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Interactive chart in Webdynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
I would like to use this thread to discuss on SAP's recommendation to develop Interactive chart in Web dynpro ABAP .
Correct me if Iam wrong ,
1) Business graphics can not be made interactive.
2) With Gantt UI element ( I couldn't find documentation ).
3) Interactive Chart in FPM ?
4) Interactive Chart using FLEX Builder ?
5) HTML Island ? Though not available for Customers with lower version of SAP ?
What is SAP's Road map w.r.t Interactive chart in Webdynpro ABAP ?
Regards,
Karthi M

Hi Stuart,
Business graphics can be made interactive only with click action.
Gantt UI , Iam not finding any proper documentation. Cursing SAP for that.
If you are lucky enough to have latest version of SAP. Try with SAP UI5 which has got very good interactive capabilities of graph.

Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

Hello,
I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
Thanks,
Pedro

Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

Finance Interactive Chart is blank in Firefox (for both Google and Yahoo Finance)

I've tried updating Java, Flash, Silverlight (it would really be nice to know for sure what Google and Yahoo Finance use). But they all were updated. I cleared my cache, tried restarting in safe mode (which is ironic because if the plugin isn't loaded, how is the site going to display the chart), hit Ctrl+F5, flipped off the monitor, but nothing is allowing the charts to display. I had previously allowed Adobe to update Reader and restart my computer, which I think led to the blank financial charts. Now I have to use Chrome or IE.

I've been using Firefox almost exclusively for years and didn't have problems with the Yahoo! Finance interactive charts until version 15. I just updated to 16.0.1 last evening and it didn't fix anything. I've updated Flash, tried <ctrl>f5 - nothing helps. Something was done in a recent update to create the problem. It would certainly be nice if this was undone and fixed.
Actually, I wouldn't mind downgrading a couple versions. I didn't have any of the problems I'm having now. I'm getting to the point that if something doesn't look right, I'm bouncing over to Chrome.
Please don't let FF slide into the same mess as IE!

Diverging stacked bar chart in Numbers?

Am looking for instructions on how to create a diverging stacked bar chart in Numbers. I can create this type of chart in Excel, but I want to provide the instructions to someone else who uses Numbers. For an example, see figure 3 on this page: http://realnumeracy.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/diverging-stacked-bar-charts/ Thank you in advance!

Create a table where the first row is a header and the first column is a header.
To make a header select the row(or column) then use the contextual menu to convert to a header:
similar procedure for a row.
Enter the data for your chart.
select columns B and C by clicking the column header for column B, then shift-click the column C.
Now select the stacked, horizontal bar chart from the charts menu:

From SharePoint2013 list item data how to create Google Interactive Chart?

HI All,
From SharePoint2013 list item data how to create Google Interactive Chart?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
To push data from list items to Google Chart, we can use JavaScript Client Object Model or REST API to retrieve the data needed.
Here are two links about using JavaScript Client Object Model to access list items:

Take a screenshot of the chart and use that in Keynote, if you can't find another way.
