Scatter plots with missing data

How can I force the "Connect Points" option to ignore missing data in a scatter plot or line chart?
If I have:
Sequence
Value
1
5
2
4

Numbers will only connect the first four cells with a continuous line, but leave the rest as only points.

You presently get this:
If you use the Filter in the Reorganize panel to show only non-blank rows, you can get this:

Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Pop,
Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

Xy scatter plot with 2 y axis how to?

I am interested in an making an XY scatter plot with time points as
the x axis, and with 2 different y axis.
As I mentioned, the x axis
will have the different time in min., that the data was collected, and
the 1 y axis would contain a particular measurement of the sample, and
the other (2nd) y axis would contain a different type of measurement
of the same sample. The problem is that I can't see how to do a 2 y
axis XY scatter plot.

Hi Peter,
This is one of the most requested features for the JFreeChart project. It hasn't been added yet, but it is very near the top of the to-do list.

Convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs

I am trying to convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs, with the series having the same formatting as in the graph when all series are together.
Normally, if I delete any series, the color scheme for all the other series vanishes. I can then waste more time in having to re-adjust the color and shape of the series, but this is tedious. This, I do not want. Is there an automated way to do this?
Ideally, of course, all series would appear in little subsections in the space of the former one graph, all with individual axes, but I can't have all, so I'll settle with having several individual new graphs, each with just one series, and with the original
formatting.
Thx.

How about creating a copy of the chart, and then setting all series except one to be transparent (no line, no marker)? Repeat for each series.

Scatter plot with dates

The one reason i use scatter plots is to make the X axis my dates. so i see the duration between data points as real distance horizontally. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on the ipad. It seems to not have a way of tweaking the data source so that I can tell it that column B (dates) is my x axis, and column C (lets say remaining data MB's, lets use something everyone on a 250 plan can associate with) is my actual data point to plot.
Anyone figure out this one yet?
Thanks,
Jason

ok, i was able to 'kinda' get it to work (not the labelling, but the scatter plot). It seems you have to select the date column first when selecting data, then drag over to the columns of plotted data and it -might- recognize the dates as the x axis. it took me a good 5 minutes playing to get it to go right.
I also had to check the "Share X values" option under the gear button.
as for the labels, it has a "Number format" and a "Same as source", but if you select same as source, it doesn't give you any choices but plain number for formatting. Same as source doesn't work at all right now for dates.
We both need to submit tickets with apple.com\feedback to let them know. I noticed other little fixes that were not documented in the 1.1 update that people had been submitting tickets on the past few weeks.
Thanks,
Jason

Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

Hi Don,
Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also.
There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.

Foreign trade--Billing document should not be created with missing data

Hi,
We have foreign trade set up. In that we defined incompletion schema at line item level with commodity code and country of origin as "Field ready for input - Incompletion check active".
Can anybody tell me that, in the above setup, is it possible to avoid the creation of billing document with missing above data.
Generally , system will go for the accounting status for block with foreign trade data missing. But our users don't want to create the billing document if the data is missing.
Can any body suggest us.
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh
You have to set up a new subroutine or you have to copy the standard subroutine and include the logic that it should read the foreign trade details at both sales order and delivery levels.you need to assign the subroutine in both VTFL and VTFA copy controls (header and item levels)
Another option is you have to go with user exit RV60AFZZ.Please refer this link,hope it should solve your problem

X-y Scatter chart with multiple data series

Hi,
How do I create an x-y scatter chart with more than 1 data series? For example:
Series 1
x__y
1__0
2__5
3__9
4__7
5__2
Series 2
x_____y
0.5___0
1.3___4.8
2.6___12.3
4.1___8.4
4.9___3.2
I can do this with 2 seperate graphs but I need them on the same graph.
Is there a limit on the number of series that can be placed on a single x-y scatter graph?
Many thanks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Scatter plot with categories

I'm wondering if there is any way to make a histogram scatter plot like this one in Numbers:
http://www.clinsci.org/cs/099/0505/cs0990505f01.gif
At the moment I have a bunch of values in three columns. This seems like it should be super straightforward to do but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe histogram isn't the right word. Dot plot, maybe? Kaleidograph does this very easily but the aesthetics aren't what I'd like them to be. Here's their example:
http://www.synergy.com/samples.htm#
It's the "dot plot" under the "stat" category.
The best I've been able to do is sort the values in each category in ascending order and then plot them along the same X axis, so you get a sense of the difference in the distributions:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100218167068253&set=a.10100218167028333 .2760006.1229661
This is less than ideal because I don't have the same number of values in each category, so I have to insert empty cells in order to get a comparable 'run' (so to speak).
It just seems like it would be trivially simple to make this sort of plot, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

LIS issue with missing data

Hello,
We have a situation with missing orders from a custom LIS structure. We have little documentation on how LIS works and little understanding. The target S*** table collects new orders when entered. This has been working for as long as we know but last weekend we found a missing order.
Are there rules stored somewhere on what and how an order should be extacted to the target table? Can someone provide an overview on how this works?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for your response. Found the issue to be a new schema that was this app created but never documented! They tried to add the app back with the original test schema and not the current production one. Updated and working fine now.

Linking lines on a graph with missing data

Hi
I am trying to produce line charts for a series of events. The way it will work is there are 15 days, and measurements are taken at uneven intervals, such as day 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 13, 14. When I plot these, the line links the plot marks where they are just a day apart, like 1,2,3, leave a dot for 7 and then have a line between 13 and 14. How do I link the line so it can jump the days without any measured data?
Thank you in advance.

What you are describing is what happens when you have empty rows in your data series. Numbers does not have the option of connecting points across a gap.
If you use a line chart (not the scatter chart), you can create a new series in your table that interpolates the missing points. Plot it as a second series with the same line color but no data points. Interpolation across a one row gap is easy to do. Interpolation across several rows is easy to do. Interpolation across a gap that might be one row or might be more is hard to do with a formula that works regardless of the size of the gap (I cannot think of a formula to do it off-hand).
If you use a scatter chart, you can use Reorganize to hide all rows where the Y data is blank. The remaining rows of data will plot and the dots will all be connected. If you don't want to hide rows in your data table, you can create a separate table that pulls in the data. Use that table for your chart, showing only rows that have Y data.
Note that you can use Reorganize for a line chart too but it will not plot the hidden X categories.

Charts with missing data / time data

Hello,
is there a possibility to let crystal draw charts with (for example) all days of a weeks, even if there is data missing for one day in the database?
Is there also a way to have a fixed timeline in the chart and let the values from the database be drawed to a specific timestamp and all this in minute resolution?
Thanks

Alert sending with missing data

Recently I created one periodic alert to invoice details. As of now its working fine and sending data, but it was not sending entire transaction number. First two digits are missing
Ex: when I query the trx number in database it showing entire trx number, like 073468S928-4991
But alert was not sending entire trx number and its sending like 3468S928-4991
Can any one please let me know how to solve this isue
Thanks

1. It wasn't detected by the checkpoint caused by a switch logfile because the file isn't actually missing. As others -inded you!- have said, on Unix/Linux, you can delete a file at any time, but if the file is in use, the inodes remain allocated and the process using it continues to see it very much as there. Because, at the inode level, it absolutely IS still there! Incidentally, it was pointless telling you to do a switch logfile, because as far as datafiles are concerned, that doesn't do anything the alter system checkpoint command does that you'd already tried.
I used to do demos of how to recover from the total loss of a controlfile in Oracle University classes: I'd do a flurry of rm *.ctl commands, and then dramatically issue the checkpoint command... and nothing at all happened. Very demoralising first time I did it. Issue a startup force, however, and at that point the inodes are released, the files really are deleted and the startup falls over in the nomount state. Bouncing the instance was the only way I could get the database to protest about the removal of a datafile, too.
2. No, if a file went missing in a way that Oracle could detect, it wouldn't matter if the file was empty, because it cares about the presence/absence of the datafile headers. They have to be updated, even if nothing else does.
3. It would only be in the alert log if SMON detected the lost file at startup (one of its jobs is, explicitly, to check for the existence of all files mentioned in the control file). CKPT wouldn't raise an alert, because as far as it's concerned, nothing's wrong. The inodes are still held, after all. Your attempts to create tables and so on inside the lost file do generate display errors because (I think) at that point it's your server process that is attempting to do things to the file, not CKPT or other pre-existent, permanently-running background processes.
4. It's specific to Unix, anyway, of which Linux is a variant.

X and Y Data in scatter plot are different fields but can not be ??

When making a scatter plot with numbers you can select the X data in the series bar (X Value) then click tick then select the y data.
If I do this the initially entered X data becomes the Y data, if you do it vice-versa, the latter entry of y data becomes the X data.
I called up apple support for this issue and after explaining the a technical supervisor in their numbers section what a scatter plot was they said they’d put the issue in my file. Can someone fix this ……. ?
You need to be able to enter a number of different X, Y series of data where X is one column or a portion of that column and Y is a an identical number of rows to each x value but in a different column.
If apple’s wondering why this program’s not professionally used they might what to actually use it before releasing it.

Rubin,
OK, you're using OSX Mavericks 10.9, and Numbers 3.0.1. It would be a good idea to update your profile to show the proper operating system version.
I think you are saying that you cant' add X-Y pairs to the chart as a new series. Apple has switched the default. Scatter Charts used to default to adding pairs of columns representing new X-Y pairs, but now it defaults to the mode called Share X-Axis values, so it thinks you are adding 2 new sets of Y-values sharing the first column of x-values.
The switch for this is in the lower left corner of the Numbers window. This control used to be in the upper left of the chart range indicator in the source table, but they moved it. Click on the "Plot Columns as Series" button to reveal the menu. Then un-check Share X Values.
