Pie chart bug in Numbers 3.0 on OS X?

When I select a range and try to make a pie chart, the pie chart always shows 100% full for the first item, and completely ignores the other items to be included in the chart.
I tried to do a 95% / 5% pie chart and no matter what I do, the pie chart only comes out as 100% full.

Hi Rafagon,
Try clicking the chart, then the blue 'Edit Data References' box, then in the lower left of your screen, change Plot Rows as Series to Plot Columns as Series, or vice versa.

(That's a trick Ian taught me in the old Numbers, where the rows/columns switcher was in a different position.)

Using negative percentages in Pie Charts

I am having a devil of a time creating a visual pie chart based on the data I am getting from my spreadsheet.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I want to see a visual representation of how many calories I have left to consume before I reach my goal for the day. I have created a spreadsheet that tracks daily caloric intake and gives me a total value. This is a numerical value, like 1600 to 2300. I then have a "goal" caloric value, which remains unchanged. This value is 1800.
The pie chart sees these numbers as positives, so when I put them in you can imagine the result would be close to 50% for both sections of the chart. Obviously, I am inputting garbage values that the pie chart is interpreting accurately.
The next logical step I thought of was to take the "goal" caloric value and subtract the actual "caloric intake" value - this way I come up with a balance of the two - positive or negative. I then used this newly created balance value as "calories remaining" and compared it to "caloric intake."
This seems to give me accurate results, except when I get a negative number in calories remaining. For some odd reason, the pie chart sees this negative number as a positive!?!? For example, if I have a -400 calories remaining compared to 2200 consumed, the pie chart would see this as 400 to 2200.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

You have the option, in the Chart Inspector, to format the labels any way you like. You don't have to use Percentage. In fact, you can add text to your labels, like this:

Can you make a 'pie chart' with Lingo ? or Java

Question pretty much like the subject above says. Just a basic pie chart from two numbers
Alright, I want a pie chart to give a visual of a percentage. The percentage would be a value of 1-100 in a field cast member

I do hope you realise that it takes more than two numbers (or one single value from a #field member, as you've supplied) to display anything representing a pie chart. For example what exactly to you want that #field value to represent? Radius? Circumference? Portion of 100%?, etc... And what is this mysterious 2nd number you hint at, but do not define?
Please understand that while nobody would deny the integrity of any of Valentin's scripts/Xtras, you surely know that it takes much more than two numbers to represent a pie chart - or even a single slice of a given pie chart.
But, I'll bet that his class can get you there. Just wanting you to think about what you are asking for here.
BTW, what on earth does Java have to do with your question? Were you thinking about JavaScript when you typed the subject? You are aware that Java <> JavaScript (or even EMCA syntax), right? Were you serious about Java?
Not a slam, just wanting you to think out loud.

Making pie chart in numbers for ipad

Hello
I am just getting started with numbers on my ipad. I have 4 columns of data, the first is an ID number column and the other three are checkboxes. I would like to make a pie chart that show's the percentage of rows that have each of the three checkbox columns checked. I am highlighting all three columns to be included in the chart and they all show up in the legend at the top of the chart, but the pie itself is just the color of the first column with 100% in the middle. The data show that 5/10 boxes are checked in column A, 6/10 in column B and 4/10 in column C. Not sure what I'm doing wrong....

BAS,
A pie chart can only handle one column of labels and one column of values. You will have to summarize your data in a table that has one column of labels and one column of values if you want to make a pie chart of it.
Think about what a pie chart is. You have pieces of a pie and labels. How would you display any more data series in that context?

How do I remove drop shadows from the default text in the labels of a Numbers pie chart?

I set up a pie chart in Numbers and set labels for percentage. The default text has drop shadowss. They do print well at the scale needed for the page. I cannot find out how to remove these shadows for clearer printing. Can the shadows be removed?

Nevermind. Found the answer in nthe side bar under "Re:how can I print the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow. I had the Font window set too narrow and it did not show the Text Shadow button in the tool bar. Unclicking that worked.

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.

Formatted numbers in pie chart

Hello
I'm displaying a pie chart graph and the numbers in it are not formatted (eg 345234534 without any commas).
I want to display numbers in a formatted way (0,000.00) in a pie chart, but if I use the NSTR function the number become a string and I can't use that number.
How can I do this ?
Bye
Omer

Hey Pramod,
I really wanted your answer to work, but it doesn't. The NVAL function convert the String Type to a number type ( ==> the graph accept the type), but it also deletes the commas.
Have you tried it yourself ?

Pie chart legend summary bug, weird text being printed

Hi guys, I created a simple report with a Pie Chart on VS2008 and on my computer the chart legend displays all items perfectly but when I deploy it on our web server the legend summary, which is always 100% doesn't say "Total" anymore but a weird text, have you seen this before? Here's a sample.
On my machine the chart legend is the following:
ITEM1                                35.0%    63
ITEM2                                38.3%    69
ITEM3                                26.7%    48
Total                                  100.0% 180
On the server:
ITEM1                                35.0%    63
ITEM2                                38.3%    69
ITEM3                                26.7%    48
eTotal:1_n_pseudoloc_   100.0% 180

Have not seen this before, but do apply SP1 on your dev computer:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
Recompile.
And use SP1 runtime:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010010692008E/crredist2005_sp1_x86.zip
See if that helps.

Creating a pie chart based on Pop-up Menu in Numbers

I would like to be able to select a persons name from the Pop-up menu in the F column to chose who has bought an item. I would then like to create a pie chart showing how much money each person has spent on buying the items and have this update automatically. I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1) make sure the pop-up has all the people in the list before you start.
2) eter the data in the table as you have shown then
3) add a new summary table (called "Summary"). Let's assume your existing table is titled "LOUNGE".
Add a new column (G) to your existing table, titled "Lounge":
G2=IF(ISBLANK(F2), "",IF(IFERROR(MATCH(F2, $F$1:F1, 0), 0)=0, MAX($G$1:G1)+1, ""))
select G2 and fill down as needed
Now make a new table (and call it "Summary"):
the first row and first column are headers.
A2=IF(ROW()-1<=MAX(Lounge :: G), OFFSET(Lounge :: $F$2, SMALL(Lounge :: G, ROW()-1)-1, 0, 1, 1), "")
select A2 and fill down as needed
B2=IF(LEN(A2)>0, SUMIF(Lounge :: F, "="&A2, Lounge :: D), "")
select B2 and fill down as needed
now select the cells B2 thu the end of the column then select the pie chart from the charts menu

Is this a Pie Chart Tooltip bug? (Xcelsius 2008)

Hi Folks,
I have a series of pie charts on two different dashboards. Neither of them are displaying percentage of total values, instead I get only the value of the 'slice' in the pie chart.
Any idea why? I'm nearly sure I was getting % values before.
Thanks,
Jeanne

The application doesn't hang but the TextBlock ends up on top the Button when you set its Text property. That's why you cannot click on the Button.
If you set the Text property of the TextBlock in the XAML markup you won't be able to click the Button when you run the app because of the same reason:
<TextBlock x:Name="OutputMsg" Text="sample text"
Margin="0,200,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="18" />
The solution is, like you have already discovered, to put the TextBlock in the StackPanel so it ends up
below the Button and not on top of it in the same Grid.

Removing font shadow on pie charts in Numbers '09

Help!! how do I remove the font shadow on my pie charts? It seems to be a standard feature but my reports are all blurred, how can I make the pie chart labels have a nice crisp font?
Thanks.

True Genius!
I'll tell my local Apple store how to do this next week! Couldn't find the controls you suggested on the text inspector until by chance I pulled it out to a bigger display window but now solved, superb!!
Thanks, big time.

How to create a pie chart from a pop-up menu in Numbers?

I would like to be able to select a persons name from the Pop-up menu in the E column to chose who has bought an item. I would then like to create a pie chart showing how much money each person has spent on buying the items and have this update automatically. I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Costs per person, with "Ali & Baker" as a separate entity (since no provision for separating costs)
The formula is this:
=SUMIFS($Cost, $Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?, $Bought?, "=TRUE")
The reasoning is:
Sum all Costs, if the following conditions are true:
$Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?
Group items in the 'Who Bought it? column that match the item in the same row as the formula.
$Bought?, "=TRUE"
Only include items that have actually been bought.
Screenshot
I have highlighted the selected cell in red.
The coloured columns show which ones are relevant to the formula.
To create the totals, I added Footer rows to the table.
You could make a separate table if you prefer.
To create the pie chart, I selected just the costs in the footer rows, and clicked on Charts.

Collected Tooltip does not display in SSRS 2008 or SSRS 2008 R2 on a pie chart

I've tried everything I can think of, but setting the Custom Property "Collected Tooltip" for a pie chart where there is data that will be "collected" into an "Other" slice doesn't appear to work. I am using SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2,
and neither one seems to display the collected tooltip. I have no difficulty getting a tooltip to appear for all the other slices in the pie, using the series tooltip property. I've searched this forum as well as Google, and the
only things I managed to find with any reference was one page that shows you where all those custom attributes are and how to use them. Is there a bug here, or am I doing something wrong?
