Numbers 3D Column chart labels

3D Column chart labels do not work.
If a label is displayed horizontally, it over-writes the next label and there is no way to turn the label vertically.

The chart will move allowing you to see the labels.
There is no way of moving the labels as you can in the 2D chart.
Best.

Hi,
I tried your soln on my System as below.
1.Input field L1
2.Expression Field E1 with formula :NSTR(@L1, 'C'),
3.Exepression Field E2 WIth formula :REPLACE(NSTR(@L1,'C'), '.', ',')
I Had given Input for L1 as 10000.
the output of E1,E2 is 10,000 Means output of both formulas returning same output.
Could you plesae check this once .

Column chart labeling issues

Hi
Im trying put a label on top of each column chart bar vertically(Outside),
Im able to do it if it is a single column .
with "showlabelvertically" option but,
when i tried with multiple columns(column set) im not able to do it. do any one have a better idea in doing it.
Thanks in advance

hi rootsounds,
Thanks for responding, But i require is some thing like this app

for column sets this doesnt work for some other examples that i worked too.

Offset in Category axis when in Column chart : Numbers

Hi,
Is there a way we can offset x-axis in a column chart? To give an example, I want to plot x=1,2,3 vs y=-1,0,1.
However, Instead of x-axis starting at '0', I want to have it start at -2. In this way, I can have an increasing order graph rather than inverting one.
I know it can be done in excel, but any idea if it can be done in Numbers?
Thx,
Swapnil.

Not something that Numbers will do without a little coercion and subterfuge).
Modification to the Table:
Column C added to contain the 'shifted' values for Y. =B+2
Column C selected as values to be charted. Category labels are picked up from Column A (a Header column).
Modifications to the chart:
Value labels on Y axis NOT displayed.
Y axis Max set to 3.5, Steps set to 7.
Text box added to contain labels to match bar heights to original (unshifted) values.
Line shape added to mark Y value of 0.

Barry

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

This is one of those things that I find really strange about Numbers 3. The control for what you want to do is not where anyone would expect to find it.
Select the Chart
Click on Edit Data References
Look at the bottom left corner of the Numbers window. It should say "Plot Columns as Series" or "Plot Rows as Series"
Click on it and change it to the other

Display Column Chart Y Axis Labels in Kilo(K), Million(M)...

Hi Folks,
I would like to display the Y-axis labels of a column chart in Kilo, Millions etc. I used the below mentioned formula in excel for that set of data. Here is the formula [>=1000000]0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
Though in embedded excel it displays the values as desired, when I assign them to the column chart in Xcelsius the Y axis labels are not as expected. For Kilo it works fine but when it comes to millions it is not displaying accordingly. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sukumar

Hi Sukumar,
If You want to display the Y Axis Labels like Kilo(k),Million(M),Billions(B)...etc.Do the following things ,
goto column chart properties->behaviour->scale in that Enable the Fixed Label size checkbox.

Can't add numbers greater than 100 in the Data Editor for a column chart

I'm trying to create a column chart in Keynote '09 but every time I add a data point with a value greater than 100 in the Data Editor it turns the number into a date. I have the Y Axis set to "Number" and it works fine for numbers less than 100 but I want to show a graph that goes from 0 - 1000. Is this happening to anyone else?
Chart Settings:
Y Axis Options:
- Max = 1000
- Steps = 5
- Format = Number
X Axis Options
- Show Axis
- Show Categories
- No Tick Marks
thanks in advance for the help

Welcome to the discussions, AlexEberts.
No, it's not happening for me. This is what I'm doing
1) Insert -> Chart -> Column
2) In the Data editor, for 2007, I enter 110.
The chart automatically expands to 110 (because, by default, it's set to autosize the Y-axis)
Does this work for you? If it does, then we can look at why it doesn't work when you add parameters.

X Axis label of Column Chart

Hello,
I am Plotting column chart based on the data present in datagridview;Column 1(having string Data Type) as my X axis value and Column Y as my Y axis value.On Column chart click event i am fetching x axis and y axis co-ordinates of my column chart and displaying
in Label on my form.But when i click it shows "0" as my x axis cordinate for the clicked column.
As my x axis is having labels as 06:00:00-07:00:00,07:00:00-08:00:00,..........
Below is image of my application
f Chart1.Series(0).Name = "Daily Data" Then
'Chart1.Series(0).XValueType = ChartValueType.Time
Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString()
'xval = xval.AddHours(Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue)
Label4.Text = "Selected Coordinates are: " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString & ", " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).YValues(0).ToString("f2")
End If
Else
If result.ChartElementType <> ChartElementType.Nothing Then
Dim elementType As String = result.ChartElementType.ToString()
Label4.Text = "Selected Element is: " & elementType
End If
End If

You need to get this example from Microsoft. It is a c# project code you just run it in Visual Studio. It shows most everything you can do with a chart. It shows the vb code when you run it and click the vb tab. Near the bottom of the left tree is Appearance
- Labels etc. Also under data types there are date and time examples. This link is also in the forum faqs at the top of the chart forum posts.
Chart examples.
I think you need to tell the chart to use datetime for the labels but I am not sure how and I am not too good with them but that is why I do this to learn things. I would just look in the chart examples from the link I show. That is how I answer most of
the questions here.
Can you reproduce your problem using the simple example from the other question? Otherwise I cant really do much.
Also, most times when you make a simple example you will find the problem or at least understand it better.
So take a look and come back if you cant get it I then I will try too.

Flex Column Chart X-axis Label position

Hello,
I have a Column Chart and am wanting to align the X-axis labels on top of each Column. Is there a way to achieve this?
Can we change the label's default position? I know there is a "rotation" property which rotates the labels but i want to change the label postion.
Any help/pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Been diging throught he charts source to figure out if there is a way of doing what I wanted, and appartntly there is (well - for the most part). For anyone else interested there is a property called alignLabelsToInterval for the LinearAxis class. This is not documented but it is a public variable - in the code ( http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/projects/charts/src/m x/charts/LinearAxis.as ):
* @private
public function get alignLabelsToInterval():Boolean
return _alignLabelsToInterval;
* @private
public function set alignLabelsToInterval(value:Boolean):void
if (value != _alignLabelsToInterval)
_alignLabelsToInterval = value;
invalidateCache();
dispatchEvent(new Event("mappingChange"));
dispatchEvent(new Event("axisChange"));
Setting this parameter to false allows the base label to stay on the origin of the chart. Then you need to compute a suitable interval for the axis to get the labels you want.
Phew!

Vertical axis labels on column chart

I'm trying to get the x-axis labels oriented vertically on a 3D column chart, so that the labels don't overlap each other. With 2D column charts I can do this via "format>chart>format x-axis" but these options are grayed out with the 3D column chart. Is there any way to get vertical orientation on the axis labels with this chart type???

It's usually not necessary to make the axis labels vertical to keep them from overlapping in a 3D chart since when you rotate the chart the labels are vertically offset. But you're right, there's no other control for this.

Data tips in column charts - numbers need trimming

I want to keep the standard data tip format in my column
charts, but the numbers often look weird - even though the raw
numbers add up neatly to eg 3 decimal places, the data tip shows
15! As an example when the total of a column is 49.346, the data
tip shows "Total: 49.346000000000004". How can I stop this? I can't
find an example of how to do my own data tip function that
replicates the standard so I can round the numbers down.
Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry about resurecting an old post, but I'm having the same issue. My original numbers have unknow number of decimals, and when storing them in my ArrayCollection, I was originally using Math.round(myNumber*100)/100 to keep only 2 decimals. To my surprise, chart datatips show some numbers with 10 decimals (38.4899999999 for example).
I switched to using Number(nfToVal.format(myNumber)), since I already use the same NumberFormatter to display those numbers in a datagrid.
For info, nfToVal is:
var nfToVal:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter();
nfToVal.decimalSeparatorFrom=".";
nfToVal.decimalSeparatorTo = ".";
nfToVal.useNegativeSign="true";
nfToVal.thousandsSeparatorFrom="";
nfToVal.thousandsSeparatorTo="";
nfToVal.precision="2";
nfToVal.rounding="nearest";
Problem still there! Numbers display correctly as strings after being formatted, but get decimals again when converted back to numbers ...
Any hints ????
Thanks,
Olivier

Stacked Column Chart Data Labels Not Appearing

I am using SetSytle in Actionscript to make the data labels in a stacked column chart appear inside but it's not working.
A portion of the code I am using to create the chart is below:
                //initialize column set for stacked columns
                var colSet:ColumnSet = new ColumnSet();
                colSet.type="stacked";
                 for each(var node:XML in _chartDP){
                     var k:int = 0;
                     //skip zero datapoints
                     if (parseInt(node.toString()) != 0) {
                         //if measure node does not exist, add as series
                         k = uniqueYCat(node.attribute("BillTo"));
                         if (k == -1){
                                // Create the new column series and set its properties.
                                var localSeries:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
                                localSeries.setStyle("labelPosition","inside");
                                localSeries.dataProvider = dataArray;
                                localSeries.yField = node.attribute("BillTo");
                                localSeries.xField = "ConfidenceStatus";
                                localSeries.displayName = node.attribute("BillTo");
                                localSeries.setStyle("showDataEffect", ChangeEffect);
                                // Back up the current series on the chart.
                                var currentSeries:Array = chart.series;
                                // Add the new series to the current Array of series.
                                currentSeries.push(localSeries);
                                //Add Array of series to columnset
                                colSet.series.push(localSeries);
                                   //assign columnset to chart
                                chart.series = [colSet];
After some more research, I put a breakpoint inside ColumnChart.as in the following function:
    mx_internal function getSeriesLabelPos(series:Series):void
        if(series is ColumnSeries)
            var columnSeries:ColumnSeries = ColumnSeries(series);
            var position:String = columnSeries.labelPos;
            if(position == "inside" || position == "outside" || position == "none")
                _needLabels = true;
        else if(series is ColumnSet)
            var setSeries:Array /* of Series */ = ColumnSet(series).series;
            for (var i:int = 0; i < setSeries.length; i++)
                getSeriesLabelPos(setSeries[i]);
the following line: var position:String = columnSeries.labelPos;
returns postion as null. It looks like the setStyle is not passing the correct value to this function.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

chart appearance is controlled by xml files located in
{cfroot}\charting\styles. the file for bar charts is
default.xml
you will want to:
1) copy thisfile to your site's root or some other folder
(i.e. same
folder that the page displaying your chart is in)
2) edit the file and change isHideOverlapped attribute of
labelStyle
property for xAxis to "false"
3) point the STYLE attribute of your cfchart tag to this new
file.

Label postion in column chart near base of chart

Hi All,
I am using MSChart to create column chart, here I am using custom property "LabelStyle" as bottom, but label is showing inside of column but near to end/top of the column only, I want to show my label at the base of column, near
X-Axis (start of the column). Please help.
series.SetCustomProperty("LabelStyle",
"Bottom");

We can do this by using Annotation, I have created one function which works for me for one or two column series (If you have multiple series then adjust position of Annotation).
/// <summary>
/// This will create annotation for each column series, it will work for 1 or 2 series or more no of column series adjust position.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="minY">Y Axis point where you want to place annotation, mostly minimum point on Y Axis.</param>
/// <param name="totalColumnSeries">Total no of column series, to adjust position</param>
/// <param name="labelFormat">to show in percent, give format as string Eg 0.00%</param>
/// <param name="offset">Shift X Axis position to left or right</param>
/// <param name="annFont">Wants to use custom font else take it from Constants.</param>
public void SetTextAnnotation(double minY, int totalColumnSeries, string labelFormat, double offset, Font annFont = null)
//double offset = 0;
int index = 0;
//if (totalColumnSeries == 2)
// offset = 0.2;
foreach (var series in this.Series)
if (series.ChartType == SeriesChartType.Column)
int attindex = 1;
foreach (var point in series.Points)
var ann = new RectangleAnnotation();
ann.Text = point.YValues[0].ToString(labelFormat);
ann.IsMultiline = false;
ann.AxisX = this.ChartAreas[0].AxisX;
ann.AxisY = this.ChartAreas[0].AxisY;
ann.AnchorX = index == 0 ? attindex - offset : attindex + offset;
ann.AnchorY = minY;
ann.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
ann.LineColor = Color.Transparent;
ann.Font = annFont == null ? FONT_CHART_POINT_LABEL : annFont;
// add the annotation to the chart annotations list
this.Annotations.Add(ann);
attindex++;
index++;

Spreadsheet table to column chart problem

Trying to copy a spreadsheet from Excel to a spreadsheet table to pick rows to graph in a column chart.
This isn't the spreadsheet, but it's set up like this. The underlines are there to space things out like table cells.
Neighbors_______________Jones___Smith_____Tomlinson
Number of Pets
Cat_________________________1______0____________1
Dog_________________________1______2__________10
Fish_________________________0_____30___________4
Number of Plants
Trees_______________________ 2______3____________1
Potted_______________________1______2____________1
In the spreadsheet table:
display data: everything
source data: the numbers and the blank line on the "Number of Plants" row
destination :a blank row extending from column 2 to column 4
In column chart;
make a series
make pick by row
source data: the blank row from col 2 to col 4
make rows 1,2, 5 not pickable
When I preview, some of the pickable rows show nothing on the bar graph and others show graph for other row.
What am I doing wrong ?

Trying easier ones. For the spreadsheet table, the display data is all the rows, the source data are the numbers, and the destinations are blank rows that are 2 cells wide.
A spreadsheet table with the 2 rows
1 2
3 4
goes to a column chart fine.
A spreadsheet table with the 2 rows
a 1 2
b 3 1
goes to a column chart ok except tick marks aren't labelled with numbers on the b row.
A spreadsheet with the 3 rows
a
b 1 2
c 3 1
has only row b in the column chart and row c is picked in the
What am I missing ?
