IOS Numbers - creating "legend" headings from a distant column

I have a spreadsheet where the rows are financial items and the columns are years.
I want to create a pie chart of one particular year (lets say in column G) and label each segment with the headings from column A.
How do I tell Numbers to do this?
I've managed to make a pie chart of column G, but the legend simpke contains "untitled" and I can find no way to specify the source for the titles, nor to edit them.
I can do this elsewhere and import it and Numbers understands it correctly, but I would like to do it in my iPad too. Is this possible.
thanks

Ok -cracked it and thanks for your input that made me think and work out how!
The answer lies in the fact that you can designate up to 5 header columns BUT, and this is the important bit, you can, in effect, specify which of them is picked up as a header for the graph by starting the area you select for the graph in that column. You then narrow down the selected area to one column and move that out to the one you wish to chart! The header markers are left over the first column.
This worked well for my moderately complex header columns which had been used to indent headings and sub headings To represent sub tables within the overall spreadsheet.
Always satisfying to solve a niggling problem!

Create Ytd measure from essbase accounts

Hi,
We have separate dimension for Year and Period (Month) in Essbase without Ytd member for period. In BIEE, how do we create YTD measure from existing logical column?
Thanks,
GT

Hi narthan,
According to your description, you want to select data between first day of this year and last day of previous month. If that is the case, we can achieve your goal by two ways:
• Adding where statement to the query without using parameter like below:
where column_name between DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,getdate()), 0) and dateadd(ms,-3,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,getdate()), 0))
• Adding two parameters named StartDate and EndDate by following steps:
1. In Dataset Properties dialog box, in Query text box, add where statement like below, then the parameters will be created automatically
where column_name between @StartDate and @EndDate
2. In Design surface, expand Parameter node. Right-click @StartDate and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
3. In Data Type drop down list, select Date/Time.
4. In left pane, click Default Values, then select Specify Values.
5. Click (fx) button, in Expression text box, type the following expression, then click OK to save the options.
=DateSerial(YEAR(Today()),1,1)
6. Right click @Enddate and set Data Type to Date/Time as step3.
7. Repeat the options of step4 and 5 above, and type the expression like below, then click OK.
=DateAdd("d",-(Day(today())), Today())
For more information about Adding Parameters to Filter Reports by Date, please refer to the following document:

Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

Hi, I would like to create a database from my numbers spreadsheet and create reports (like SQL). Is there a way?

Numbers is a lightweight spreadsheet. If you know sql you will know that it can handle many queries and is a real databases that can handle many thousands of records. Number is not the correct tool. You can make something that does something like a query but it is not truly a query.
Can you share anything about the specific application and how much information there is in each record? How many records (rows)?

Is there a way to create a timestamp in iOS Numbers?

I would like a cell to automatically fill with the time that data is entered into another cell. Is this possible on Numbers for iPad?

Nevermind. After extensive searching it does not seem possible. But I did find out that there are "Today" and "Now" buttons on the data entry keypad in iOS numbers when entering a date, so that works just about as well.

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
========================
I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below -
Set a different number for the starting page
Tip To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
Tip To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
Hide All
If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat. I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

How to prevent headings from automatically appearing in the doc

Hi,
I want to generate "printed documentation," in other words a Word file, from RoboHelp. RoboHelp automatically is taking the names of my TOC books and is putting them at the top of each section in the doc file as a heading (uses the same styles consistently, using Heading 1 at the top level and Heading 2 as a sub level). I don't want this to happen. I didn't see anything about preventing this from happening on the Troubleshooting page.
For the record I am using my own CSS -- in other words the project's CSS -- when creating the doc file. RoboHelp apparently is assigning the heading style to be used in Word.
Can I prevent headings from being automatically created in the doc file, or do I have to remove them manually in the generated .doc?
Thanks,
Chris

If your print layout includes the books, then their titles will print.
If you only include topics, the book titles will not be included.

Installing .csf files and using them to create a pdf from Indesign.

I have a .csf file that was sent to me that I need to:
1. Install (not sure how to do that in CS4),
2. And be able to use in Indesign when I create a pdf from an Indesign file.
I'm not sure how to do this.

Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

Why can't IOS users create PDF files anymore?

WHy can I no longer create PDF documents from my IPad? I used to be able to use this feature, now it is gone! Why can't IOS users access this feature?

Hi Timo,
The Create PDF feature is part of Adobe PDF Pack (the paid subscription service) and is used to convert a non-PDF file format to PDF.
I see that the "Getting Started" PDF document is opened in the screenshot above. You cannot convert a PDF document to a PDF document.
The error message is trying to tell you that you need to open the "supported format" (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF) then tap Create PDF to convert it to a PDF document.
Please take a look at the following document about Adobe PDF Pack (which also includes Export PDF).

How do I create a playlist from songs in other playlists?

Before updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, I used to be able to create a playlist by choosing songs that were already in other playlists. Now, when I click on Create Playlist, the only options I have on the bottom of the screen are to choose from Songs, Artists, Songs and Composers. I want to create a playlist from songs that are in my other playlists, such as Purchased or Favorites, for example, instead of scrolling through a couple thousand songs to find (and remember) the ones I want. What I can do bring that option back? I've looked in my settings and haven't found anything I can do about it. Any knowledgable people in this area, please suggest solutions.

In list view click on the far left column which allows you to drag to desired play order.
