PIe chart to show parts of a whole

Hi,
I am trying to create a pie chart that shows students the number of successful class periods out of a total number of 70. I have a column displaying the number of successful days at the end of the trimester, but don't know how to "tell" the pie chart how many days are possible.
Any help on this would be appreciated!
Thank-you,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Enter the number of possible days in the table?
What Numbers needs to construct the chart, though, is the number of 'successful' days and the number of 'unsuccessful' days. Given those two data, Numbers will automatically construct the chart showing each as the correct fraction of the whole (pie). The Chart format inspector will give you several choices of how to label the segments, including 'percentage.'
At the end of the trimester, when all possible days have passed, the number of 'unsuccessful' days is 'possible' days - 'successful' days, and 'possible' days is a fixed number.
If you want to use the chart within the term, you need to decide whether you want a chart that shows the 'successful' days as a percentage of ALL possible days (Chart 2), as a percentage of the possible days up to the current date (Chart 1), or to add a third category, 'days to come' (Chart 3).
Each chart uses the data indicated by the legend under the chart.
Formulas for table 2 (For Chart):
B2: =COUNT(Main::$A)
B3: =COUNTIF(Main::$A,"<"
Column A on the Main table has two conditional format rules applied:
Equal to A2: (yellow fill)
Greater than A2 (grey fill)
Regards,
Barry
EDIT: I see I neglected to recalculate the day numbers after adding a second header row. Oops! With corrected numbers, today is day 15, and charts show results to end of day 14. Formulas listed are not affected.

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

Hi Kai,
If I want to create a bar chart with DP that looks as follows:
Material Total
 A 5
 B 10
 C 7
 D 4
Overall result 26
Then How do I get the labels A, B, C, D in the Y axis as the name of the "category" and also all the series represented in diffrent color say 5 (red), 10(yellow), 7 (blue), 4(green). I am not able to get these two criteria met?
what I am able to achieve is either
1. (A, B, C, D )are shows as the name of the category in the Y-axis, and (total) on X-axis-- then it will have only one series (ie total)....Hence cannot give different colors for the bar representing the category A,B,C,D
(or)
2. (material) shown as the name of the category on Y-axis and (total) on X-axis and the series will have (A, B, C, D) in different colors but the name of the series will be shown anywhere inside the bar and not as the name of the category....b'cos the name of the category will be (material)
so how do i get the ......labels A, B, C, D in the Y axis as name of the "category" (instead of material) and also all the series represented in different color say 5 (red), 10(yellow), 7 (blue), 4(green).
Please let me know if this is possible with the chart wizard in 3.x or 7.0 WAD. I tried and so far no luck!
Earlier in 3.0B it was possible by right clicking every data point to change it's color.
Thankyou,

Pie Chart not showing

Hi
I'm trying to display a pie chart in the WAD, I have a query associated to my Data provider, but it doesn't display properly. I'm running WAD 3.x and support package 7.
I tried to use different charts and it seems to display my results fine.
Any ideas why this is happening?

MIcelle,
Te issue might be with the way the data is structured in the query..
Copy the data onto a separate sheet and then generate an EXCEL pie chart and change the table structure till you get the format of the graph as desired , now all you need to do is get the quer in the same fomat and you should be good to go.
The graph on the Web depends on the IGS , for Excel , it is based on Excel's charting engine and has not much to do with notes.
Hope it helps..

Showing Data in A Pie chart

As part of a school wide intiative i must show pre and post test data in my classroom. I must be able to show how many studetns were proficient on the pre test and well as on the post test. I have my data all ready to go with each kids test score. How do i create a pie chart that show the percentage of students with a 85% or high?

k,
Select the Data in your Table.
Insert a Pie Chart.
Set the label display format option for "%" or "Number", as you wish.
That should do it.
Generally the best place to start with charting is to sketch one, as you imagine what you want it to look like, and most importantly, write in some labels describing the chart. That helps you to think about how to construct the chart. Unless you know what it should look like, it's difficult to know what data to chart and what options to use.

How to show negative value in Pie Chart from Webi?

I have below example data, I want to convert this to a pie chart in Web Intelligence, my problem is after I convert it to a pie chart, the revenue '-30' is shown as '30', looks like the pie chart is not suppor the negative value to show, I want to know if there is any workaround or solution to make the pie chart to show the negative value? Is this behavior is by design? do we have any official document to explain this?
The product I used is BOE XI 3.1 SP3.
Department    Revenue
A                      100
B                       -30
C                        80

Why are you showing this information as a pie chart? It doesn't make sense to try and display a negative slice in a pie chart. I can't really think of a logical way to try and draw a negative slice in a pie chart. With a pie chart you will need all your information to either all be positive or all negative, otherwise it doesn't work.
What you need is to have a bar chart, with positive and negative values on the y axis.

Pie Charts show Table Sum? Huh?

Hello all.
I am making a simple home budget, with a table of data, which has a final row that totals the previous entries. I selected a pie chart to show this info, but the pie chart includes the total row data, which makes no sense. How do I tell Numbers to not show that total entry in the chart?
Example:
Row 1 = $500
Row 2 = $400
Row 3 = $300
Row 4 = Calculates sum which in this case is $1200.
Numbers draws a pie chart showing 4 items, not 3 items and their corresponding percentages of the entire chart.

Try placing a summary footer then plot the individual data items.

Proportional pie charts and annotation

Hi,
I have Numbers to help me make colourful, etc. graphs for inclusion in my MSc dissertation. I am using pie charts to show annual comparisons between common forms of disposing of waste. Ideally, I'd like the pie chart to show the amount of hazardous waste produced per annum, i.e. the larger the amount produced, the larger the pie chart. Other than doing it manually, by eye, can Numbers do this?
Finally, when some of the fractions are small, instead of showing, say <1%, it will say 0%. Can I alter the labelling of the pie chart's slices?
Many thanks - and I hope that this makes sense!
Simon

Axtron,
Not seeing your available data, the only thing to go by is the image that comes to mind. Pie charts are excellent for depicting parts of the whole, so your concept of showing all the various waste materials produced in a year broken into percents works well. The pie charts will do the percents for you. Perhaps grouping a few waste types with small amounts and labeling them "All Others" would work.
To show comparisons of successive years would require a pie chart for each year. One would scan across the row of charts and see certain types of waste were increasing or decreasing percent-wise over a period of time. But remember, each chart has to be the same size so as not to distort the data.
If you are interested in showing increases and decreases in quantities of the various waste types over a period of time, perhaps a line or bar chart would be more effective. As a matter of fact, you could use either of these to show the percents of the pie chart as well. Once you have a table of data you can experiment with each type of chart to see which best emphasizes your point.

Problem with Pie Chart Size

I am using the CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE to show pie charts in a dashboard format. One of my charts has just started to randomly decide to display the pie slices incorrectly.
this is the XML for the data

 </Point>
 <Point label="$973.08">
 <Value type="y">973.08</Value>
 </Point>
</Series>
</Chartdata>
The problem is, the last point on the pie chart is showing like it is about 85% of the pie. I admit, this is my first attempt at this, but why would it be OK, then suddenly NOT OK. Any ideas on what i may have coded incorrectly? what does the type indicator in the Value tag represent? i have looked at the documentation available for the chart engine, and it is pretty weak on specifics.
by the way, the label on the very large part of the pie is $973.08, which is considerably less than the values in the other "slices". The data is correct, as far as having the correct values. it is just suddenly displaying it incorrectly, putting the wrong size slice with the categories.
Edited by: David Knittle on Nov 22, 2010 1:32 PM

could it be because the chart is interpreting the values as text values instead of numbers? and 9 would then be much larger than ther other values? I'd try values without comma....tell it it's a numeric value like 12345.67.

Need help with SQL for Pie Chart

I am trying to create a pie charge which would have 3 slices.
Following sql gives me the expected values when I run the sql command:
select
round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) "OD Engagements",
round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) "Talent Engagements",
round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) "Other Engagements"
from OTD_PROJECT
where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
I get 3 columns labeled: OD Engagements, Talent Engagements and Other Engagements with the correct averages based on the the data.
I have tried several ways to try to get this to work in the SQL for a pie chart, but keep getting the invalid sql message and it won't save. I also tried saving without validation, but no data is shown on the chart at all.
I want to have a pie, with 3 slices, one labeled OD Engagements with a value of 27, one labeled Talent Engagements with a value of 43 and one labeled Other Engagements with a value of 30. Then I want to be able to click on each pie slice to drill down to a secondary pie chart that shows the breakdown based on the categories included in that type.
Since I am not grouping based on an existing field I an unsure what the link and label values should be in the chart sql.

You'll need something like the below. I have no idea what the URL for the drilldown needs to be. It should create an appropriate link in your app for the particular slice. Mainly the code below breaks the SQL results into three rows rather than three columns. It may well have a syntax error since I can't test.
select linkval AS LINK,
       title    AS LABEL,
       calc_val AS VALUE
FROM   (SELECT 'OD Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Talent Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Other Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
       );

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.)

Sorting Pie Chart Legend

I am using Crystal Report XI. I created a pie chart that shows the number of vehicles stolen by the day of the week. The problem is that the legend is sorted in alphabetical order. It starts with Friday - Monday - Saturday - Sunday, etc.
I need to be able to start with Sunday - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday, etc.
Can you help me figure out how to sort or revise the legend of a pie chart? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I would be most happy to help someone. Right Click in your pie chart. Choose Chart Expert. Choose the Data Tab. Click on the item you have in the upper right corner of the dialog box. For me, it is Event Day. With that highlighted, the "order" option below it will turn on. You will be given some choices - I chose "Specified Order". Then choose the Specified Order tab, and type in the order you want. I typed Sunday, Monday, etc.
Hope it helps.

PIE Chart Color Highlight - setting colors

Hi
PIE Chart showing default colors even after setting the diffent colors to OIE chart slices from Color Highlight tab.
PIE chart is showing only one slice when I select Data for the PIE Char is "For all records".
Could you please let me know how to set the different colors for slices?
Thank you

hi,
As you are selecting 'Color Highlight' for different Pie Slices, "For all records" option shouldn't be selected.
It should be "On Change of".
Then obviously you will see the colors specified in 'Color Hghlight' tab.
