Numbers chart order problem.

How can I reverse the order of a Bar Chart in Numbers?
I want newest info at top of table, but Left to Right on chart?
Must be something simple?

If there were a Reverse Order option, you wouldn't have needed to ask.
I worked out the trick with the extra table in reverse, all I did though was Copy Paste, then sort the Date column going the other way. I'll have that table on another "page" which the customer wont see once I print the PDF of the original table and charts.
Not exactly "it just works".
No, but if you're doing it on a one-time basis for each chart, it does work. The only advantage to using the formulas is that the conversion and the chart update is done automatically. You do need to ensure that the two tables continue to have the same number of rows, though.

Problems updating numbers charts in pages - where is that "refresh" button?

Hi,
I am trying to update a numbers chart that I have included in a pages document, but can't figure how to do it. Seems like I am missing and icon in Pages.
From the help manual from Pages:
*Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.*
I keep looking but can't see it. Am I missing something here. Is there a setting somewhere that is not set.
P.S Yes, I saved the Numbers dokument before I copied it into the Pages doc. After updating the chart, I saved it before I returned to the Pages doc.
All help is appreciated.
Best regards

Hi,
Sorry for this, but I was thinking about tables and not charts!!!
I figured out the charts issue, but am I correct if I understand that you can't insert Numbers tables to Pages, and then update them (in the same was as the charts?)

Moving Numbers Charts into Word

I am having trouble exporting charts I make in Numbers to Word (which I need to use for my dissertation). Right now, every time I do this Word (2004) imports the chart as a picture with a black background (making it virtually impossible to read).
My question is whether there is an easy solution to this problem.
I have seen one post in this forum that suggests Apple has a work around. It says that Apple has "solved" this transparency problem. But I see no mention of how or how to apply it. All of my software is updated.
I have also seen the post that describes the long work around (export to a third application like photoshop and then import into word), but I don't consider that a real solution.
Any ideas?

My workaround solution to get Numbers charts into Word 2004 and 2008 is to place the subject chart(s) onto one or more sheets - I tend to put each chart on a separate sheet - then export the charts as PDF files, set for "Best Quality" and to the "Current Sheet". I then generally drag each individual PDF into Word and adjust as necessary for scale and position.
I'll admit that IMO Word 2004's graphics engine really wasn't (Isn't?) consistent or that great at handling non-native graphics, and I've encountered the black picture syndrome dozens of times, and just try reimporting until I get what I want. I've also used Apple's Preview application (via Automator) to generate TIFF and JPG files of the PDFs I generate, and almost all of the time one of the resulting files gets me what I need.
One last method of shoehorning an image into either Word application that's worked wonders for me since Word 2001 is to choose the graphics element you want to get into Word and copy-paste it into Word, letting the Clipboard handle the translation; I've used this technique just this morning to get two graphs (a copied one-page PDF from Preview and a small chart from Numbers) into Word as graphics, albeit into Word 2008 - the finished product was exactly as I'd expected.
One last option is to copy your elements, one at a time, to the Clipboard, and to use the Word "Paste Special" command, choosing the "as Picture" option; the pasted elements likely will look a little fuzzy, but they're in your document.
Good luck - I hope my offering helps, and if a more direct method were available, I'd love to know what the better solution is!

ITunes 7.2 Problem: Song Order Problem

Equipment Specs:
IPOD -- First Generation, 1 G size, Firmware ver # 1.1.5
ITunes -- Ver # 7.2.0.34
Problem
I recently updated to the above version of ITunes. I also recently reset/erased all my songs (no podcasts or nothing else)from my IPOD.
I then reloaded just songs to my pod using the drag and drop method from the music file. I then re-arranged the songs in my desired order.
I then disonnected the pod and exited ITunes.
When I later restarted ITunes with the pod connected, my song order had changed. With the pod still open in ITunes, I am no longer able to change the play order position. As say, move song #45 to position #2 and etc.
Has something changed as I was always able to do this prior to updating ITunes and the pod ?
Was this caused by updating ITunes to the newest version?
Is there a solution to be able to manage the order of your songs as before ?
Can I use a 6.0 version of Itunes inorder to regain this song order problem. I was always able to use this function in a previous version.
Wished I never would have updated to 7.2 from whatever I had. I really should have know better.
Thx
Arc

Solved my problem by reloading ITunes Version 7.1.1.5. Now I can accomplish what I want to do.

Hi Vedant,
values are displayed in pie chart their label is not display.
So you're able to view the value and label information when you hover over a slice i.e. viewing the tooltip, but you can't see the actual label for each slice of the pie. If you're not seeing all of the labels for the slices of the Pie chart, then this could due to a couple of reasons:
1) the length of the label
2) the position of the label
3) the size of the chart
Keep in mind that displaying all 41 labels on the chart could result in an extremely cluttered looking chart. AnyChart controls the visibility of the labels, depending on the above factors. So if your labels are quite lengthy, for example, and they are positioned to be displayed outside the chart, then AnyChart will display what labels it can for the given chart size. To work around this, having tooltips enabled is a good starting point. Alternatively, you could look at decreasing the length of the label text, changing the label position or even increasing the size of the chart. For further information on the label formatting, I would recommend reviewing AnyChart's online documentation, here: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/label-text-formatting.html?fromtree.

Because I have taken over 9,999 pics, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is when I am importing with Image Capture, when I select images, the program is importing BOTH the old images of the same number as well as the new ones. Help?

Because I have taken over 9,999 images, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is that Image Capture now imports BOTH images when I select the new ones that share numbers with old ones. The images were completely mixed when they showed up in Image Capture - Old image 0001, new image 0001, old image 0002, new image 0002 and so forth. I clicked on "date," which then rearraged the images, and I selected only the new ones, but when they actually import to my computer BOTH old and new images are importing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?

Well, obviously all I needed to do to solve the problem was to post about it. It has stopped, so all is well!

Bubble chart legend problem

Hello.
I have problem with bubble chart the problem is that in chart legend appear the same number of object what bubble in chart e.g. if chart have 5 bubble then legend also have 5 object.
What do I want to obtain is that in chart appear bubble which have different color (color depends on condition) and legend relate only colors. For example if chart have 4 bubble 3 - red and 1 - green then in legend appear only two position which relate green and red color (now appear 4 object three about red and one green).
Can any one tell me how to resolve this problem?

I already did this I added three condition (three colors red, green and yellow) in field "Value of" I choosed "is equal to" unfortunately it didn't help.
Maybe I joust try to describe what I want to show in this chart.
Suppose I have table with four columns u201Cdateu201D, u201Camount (number type)u201D, u201Csize (number type)u201D, u201Crisku201D (text type) now where this value appear on chart:
- date is x axis
- amount is y axis
- size is a bubble size
- risk will be bubble color
Now I have 3 kind of risk u201CLowu201D (green color), u201CMediumu201D (yellow color) and u201CHighu201D (red color).
Now in my data base I have table with record:
- u201C11-11-2009u201D, u201C1u201D, u201C2u201D, u201CMediumu201D
- u201C12-11-2009u201D, u201C2u201D, u201C1u201D, u201CMediumu201D
- u201C13-11-2009u201D, u201C1u201D, u201C1u201D, u201CHighu201D
- u201C14-11-2009u201D, u201C3u201D, u201C3u201D, u201CLowu201D
- u201C15-11-2009u201D, u201C1u201D, u201C1u201D, u201CLowu201D
Ok so now In My chart I should have 5 bubble and in legend three value (green, red, yellow) but in this case I always have five (the same number what record in table).
Sorry if this example is not clear.

Artist sort order problem

Hi.
I have music sync'd via iTunes Match from my laptop to my iPad and to my iPhone. The names and order appear correct on both the laptop and on the iPad but on the iPhone several artists are either shown in all lower case or the last name will be used by the sort, rather than the first.
I've reset the artist, album artist and sort artist tags to different names (and they show up correctly then on the iPhone) and then set them back, but the problem remains.
I'm thinking that the iPhone has a corrupt file somewhere - but how can I reset that without losing everything on the phone?
A factory reset and restore from iCloud results in the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.
--Cynan.

I also have an Artist sort order problem. While the circumstances are quite different from yours, I wonder if it's due to a similar corruption problem. I don't use iTunes Match. I found Kenny G listed under letter T.

Iphoto Book ordering problems

After 3 weeks of constant attempts I feel I need to see if anyone out there has a thought on why I receive a return email from my book order "Problems with your order - you have not been charged etc etc"
I have done everything possible from deleting photos, trying EVERY theme, deleting maps, background photos. I have corresponded by email with the Apple help, and I have spent about an hour at the Genius Bar at Apple to see if anyone can solve my problem. Everyone has comeback with "we don't know"
I work with a MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.6.4, have plenty of memory, all software is up to date.
I am just about to reinitialise my hard disk, install iLife 11 and make the book again, as I can see no other way to try to get this book ordered. Hopefully, oh every so hopefully this will solve my problem.
Any guru help?

Since yesterday there have been many reports from all over the world of people unable to buy a book or any print products from Apple.
Apple has to fix this on the servers.
See for example this link: Re: Trying to buy book I created. When I hit "checkout" nothing happens. It's not like Apple to not want to make more m…

How do I get row numbers to appear automatically in a Numbers chart. Just 1,2,3,4, etc.

How do I get row numbers to appear automatically in a Numbers chart. Just 1,2,3,4, etc.

Awesome! I needed a pointer for technical documentation: a thick white stroke, with a thinner black stroke going right down the middle of it. I made a new stripe stroke style: Start: 37%, Width: %26. Then I did a gap color of Paper, gap tint: 100%. Stroke color is black. Round cap.
Thanks Bob! You rock. This made my day!!!

Field order problem I think

I just burned through 10 dvds and they all look terrible. There are all these wavy lines. Is this a field order problem? If so, how do I correct it. I have missed my deadline and I am in big trouble. Please help.

DV formats ALWAYS use field 1 dominance -- LOWER FIELD FIRST!
Since your content was created in a graphics program and not a DV camcorder, be sure to read through: http://www.greatdv.com/video/fields.htm
BTW, It's ALWAYS the best idea to create a disk image out of iDVD (an option under FILE). Verify the image plays correctly with Apple's Disk Utility and then make the actual burns to writable media with Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast. Use quality DVD-R media (Verbatim or Maxell) and burn at 4x speed or lower.

Keynote and Numbers Charts

Searched the forum with no result ... within Keynote Charts, is there a way of adding an embedded Numbers Chart that preserves the mathematics? (i.e. Cell X = Cell Y * Cell Z). Keynote Charts don't allow formulas and when I cut & paste from Numbers, the cell formulas disappear leaving only the value. This is a cinch using MS Powerpoint and MS Excel. What am I missing? Thanks!

nbenning,
I wonder too. First, I presume that you mean Table, not Chart. Here the formulas are preserved and active in Tables that are copied in Numbers and Pasted in Keynote.
Are you sure that the formulas aren't there? If you double-click on the Cell with the formula, what do you see?

Stacked Bar Chart Order

I am doing a stacked bar chart and I needt to control the vertical order of the bars. It seems to be always sorting alphabetically by my descriptions. My descriptions are 'No Mastery','Pre-mastery' and 'Mastery'.
I want:
Mastery
Pre-Mastery
No Mastery
It always shows as:
No Mastery
Mastery
Pre-Mastery
How can you control this?

Thanks Srinivas,
Thank you for your reply! that solution indeed changes the alphabetical sort, the problem is that the order is now fixed (i.e. "Mastery" is always number 1)
I need them ordered by a particular column (for example total sales) I guess I can use ranks instead of fixed numbers (i.e. concatenating the calculated sales rank instead of always using "1" for "Mastery").

Controlling chart order of display bars.

Hi. I have a series of charts defined in my report that represent years grouped by month, or are by month. The problem comes when the first month of data entry is mid-year. In either the combined grouped by month chart or the individual monthly charts, the order of the bars begins with that first month, and the remaining months wrap at the end, i.e. if the first data entry is May, the chart begin with 5 to 12 then ends with 1 to 4. Very dificult to compare charts and visually track data. Is there any way to define and enforce an axis order as Jan - Dec or 1 - 12?
Thanks!
Robin

you can add an additional data source... Say Excel, add the month names, numbers, whatever you need to use, into an excel spreadsheet, then add that sheet as a data source, left outer join from your months in excel, to the months in the report, I would think that would work. (Hopefully, you will not need the year also)
