Weird behaviour of chart axis in Numbers

on the x-axis i entered three values: 12, 13, 16. But they end up being evenly spaced along the axis (I want there to be more space between 13&16 than 12&13).
This seems absolutely illogical to me. Anyone has a fix? thx.

This discussion is really useful. I was having the same problem with dates on the x-axis. The date values in my column of data are not equally spaced but they were on the chart when using a line chart. Now I am using a scatter chart things look better.
However is it possible to join the dots in a scatter chart? For some data this makes no sense but the values on my x-axis are in order and so joining the dots here would. I really need a line chart that does not regard the x-axis as categories.
Dare I say that I can do this in Excel!! In fact I converted an Excel spreadsheet to Numbers only to find the chart was displayed differently.

  • Can I use a secondary axis in numbers?

    can I use a secondary axis in numbers?

    Only in a combined bar and line chart, so far as I can tell.
    These category charts may have a shared category axis (x) and two value (y) axes.
    This is the choice at the bottom of the Chart button's menu.

  • In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). Can anyone help?

    In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?

    I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
    An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
    I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
    If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
    Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

  • Error and weird behaviour in executable launch

    Hello folks,
    This post is regarding a weird behaviour i am experiencing with an executable i built. 
    LABVIEW version(Includes Runtime engine) LV2012 SP1 f3
    DAQmx: 9.6.1
    The behaviour is listed below in detail. 
    In a nutshell, the exectuable runs on the development computer but does not run on the Target computer. Also, Irresepctive of which PC i run the executable on, i cannot access the block diagram even after enabling debugging everywhere. 
    On the target PC, the app fires up but does not run further, no error codes appear on the screen, it's like the app freezes after firing up. And to add to the misery, i cannot access the block diagram to debug and know what's going on. 
    Also, I have tried including the dynamic vis to my build script. No bueno. 
    What I see on running the app is addressed below:
    TARGET COMPUTER:
    DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE have been installed manually.
    App does not run: No broken run button, the app launches but does nothing when the vi is run. No error messages.
    The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
    DEVELOPMENT COMPUTER:
    The app launches and runs perfectly.
    The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
    DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE were not installed as the app recognized the already installed Labview environment.
    Additional steps that I have tried,
     Created and ran only an executable on the target PC, the attempt was unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section.
     Created and ran an installer with additional install options(LV2012 f4 RTE and DAQmx 9.7)on the target PC, the attempt was again unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section.  No error messages.
     Tried both the steps mentioned above on the development computer and the attempts were successful. .
    To the best of my knowledge, I believe, the issue here is with the environment I am creating for the executable and the installer to run with/off of. After having carefully followed the installation procedure for the Run-Time Engine and the DAQmx drivers, I still do not know what I am missing. 
    Please advise.
    Thanks guys, 
    RP.

    Hey guys, 
    So, got the application to work. Almost. 
    The problem was that the executable was missing the hardware config from the Device. 
    Now, the new issue is as following: 
    The goal of the vi is to generate a report of the test conducted. So, the way the vi works is that, the second the vi is run, an empty word file is created with only the company logo,  
    Field headings, which are populated after the test is conducted. 
    The logo is a .jpg file, which has a relative path into the executable.
    The field heading are String constants wired into a 'concatenate strings.vi' which are in turn wired to into the report generation vis.
    What's happening is that when i run the app on the target pc, Only the logo appears on the word template. Even when i conduct the whole test and stop the vi, the results aren't populated in the word file. Which is a little weird.
    Does any one know whats doing that?
    Please refer to the attached word files.
    Right - It is the file format desired. 
    Wrong - It is the file format achieved. 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    RP.

  • When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.

    When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.  I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it.  Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?

    If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste.  In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
    Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
    I hope this helps

  • How do I rotate chart axis labels?

    Trying to rotaet chart axis labels for the x-axis, but would like to know the same for the y-axis too. Know the solution for a text box, but doesn't seem to work for the axis labels.

    Hi Martin,
    The solution is the same for X and Y labels. Select the labels and then set the rotation angle, either in the Format Bar or in the Metrics Inspector.

  • [Solved] Firefox 3 betas give me some weird behaviour with images

    I understand that there will be problems with beta software, however I seem to have memory issues with the firefox 2 series, so I thought I'd give the beta packages a try. I'm using the firefox-nightly package from AUR (firefox3b4), and I'm getting some weird behaviour. The same behaviour can be seen in all firefox 3 beta builds, however. It's hard to explain the problem, so here's a screenshot:
    Notice that the image appears twice, once in the tab, and once in the tab toolbar next to the title of the tab. It looks like an attempted preview gone terribly wrong. Upon closing the tab, the tab toolbar shrinks down to the normal size and all is well. This happens with most images up to a certain size. Any one else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions? This is very annoying and I would like anyone's input on the problem.

    Wow! This issue was solved in #archlinux by Nuked. Apparently I had some funky bits in my .mozilla directory. Removing it solved the problem. Remember kids, IRC is your friend. Anyone else experiencing weird stuff with their Firefox install should give this solution a try.

  • How to display PIE chart Axis label horizontally?

    Hi
    Currently my PIE chart axis label is displying in 2 lines. How make it to display in one line?
    Thank you

    hi,
    For Pie chart there will be no X-axis or Y-axis terms generally.
    Label/Text could be one of the following.
    Title?
    or Sub Title?
    or Foot note?
    Right Click -> Format Title . Reduce the font size such that it fits into a single line.

  • HTML Link -AS2 fine, AS3 weird behaviour

    Hi Guys, I'm working on a project at the moment, and am
    seeing weird behaviour with the way my swf handles html links
    inside dynamic textboxes. When rendered as a AS2 file, the link
    works on a release as expected. When its inside a AS3 file the link
    will only work if the user right click and chooses 'open in new
    window' was there a change in behaviour how AS3 handles these
    links, or is there now an declaration needed to be made to allow
    these link to have the old behaviour?
    The project calls for xml data and embedded in that is a html
    link. Originally I thought it might have been the way I'd formed
    the xml so I tried with a hardcoded version instead (dynamic
    textbox, add text -> highlight -> add link through properties
    tab). But I still see the same behaviour between the as2 and as3
    versions.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Actually, the ''href'' attribute is supposed to direct the browser to a new URL, etc., not run a script. Instead, use the ''onclick'' event attribute:
    ''<a onclick = “$('.div-feedback').fadeIn();”></a>''.
    Happy coding!

  • Weird behaviour in the Fontbook display pane

    I have just been checking through some font conflicts using FontBook. All have resolved successfully, but I have noticed weird behaviour involving four or five fonts. Some of them show up as all-Cyrillic faces (Arno Pro), or all-Hebrew faces (Stone Sans) or all-Arabic faces (Balzano) in the display pane, yet print perfectly as Western characters when used in any program (Pages, Word, Bean, FCE, Keynote etc).
    It's not actually causing any problem, I suppose, apart from a weird representation in Fontbook. I have tried deactivating and reactivating these fonts. I have tried quitting and restarting Fontbook. I have even tried restarting the computer. The Cyrillics, Hebrews and Arabics keep coming back.
    Is this a known Fontbook bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    Thank you, Kappy and Tom:
    I tried the Preview Repertoire command and it showed that the fonts did, indeed, have the full Latin complement of characters. It's just that only the Cyrillic/Hebrew/Arabic/Gujarati/Mandarin selections are showing up in some fonts' preview panes: particularly those fonts with the suffix "Pro" in the title (Myriad Pro, and so on).
    How strange.

  • Weird behaviour in report filter with Presentation variables

    Hi All,
    I'm facing a weird behaviour on filtering the report using presentation variables
    Prompt:
    1. Start Date assigned to PV_ST_DT
    2. End Date assigned to PV_END_DT
    Report
    In the filter section given the "between" condition with these two presentation variable
    Fiscal Date between {@PV_ST_DT}{01/01/1990} AND {@PV_END_DT}{01/01/1990}
    this given filter condition results in the report like
    Fiscal Date is equal to ({@PV_END_DT} value)
    the filter criteria is not applied as I given, I have tried by changing the conditions like greater than or equal to , less than or equal to. The filter applied only the last presentation variable value with the prompt condition, It is not taking the condition specified in the report.
    Can anyone provide a solution on this?

    Below format: works perfectly fine
    Fiscal Date BETWEEN '@{PV_ST_DT}{01/01/2007}' AND '@{PV_END_DT}{01/03/2007}'

  • Weird behaviour in RMIClient

  • SQL MP - SPN Status monitor weird behaviour

    Hi all,
    I have a strange behaviour with the monitor that checks SQL 2008 SPN status. More precisely I have a weird behaviour with the script used by the monitor. The script is GetSQL2008SPNState.vbs. I configured the SQL monitoring profile (which is used by the
    script) with a domain account with necessary rights.
    Let's say I have a SQL Server called SQL1. SQL1 is in domain AD1. I have a forest called contoso.com with two child domains AD1 and AD2.
    On SQL1 I sometimes see events 4001 generated by this script that mentions a problem to connect to WMI namespace (which is healthy, I checked with wbemtest). The event says that it couldn't connect to
    \\SQL1.AD1.contoso.com.AD2.contoso.com\root\blabla. I have no idea why it is using that broken FQDN.
    I made some research into the script and understood the following:
    The script has the SQL server FQDN as parameter (here SQL1.AD1.contoso.com)
    It searches the defaultnamingcontext by doing
     Set oRootDse = GetObject("GC://RootDSE)
     sRootnamingContext = oRootDse.Get("defaultNamingContext")
    It converts the defaultnamingcontext variable from "DC=a,DC=b,DC,c" to ".a.b.c"
    It checks if the defaultnamingcontext is in the fqdn and if not it appends it at the end of the fqdn. Dunno if I'm clear here so here are examples of good and bad behaviours:
    GOOD:
    FQDN is SQL1.AD1.contoso.com, defaultnamingcontext gives AD1.contoso.com, AD1.contoso.com is in SQL1.AD1.contoso.com so the script go on using SQL1.AD1.contoso.com and it's ok...
    BAD:
    FQDN is SQL1.AD1.contoso.com, defaultnamingcontext gives AD2.contoso.com, AD2.contoso.com is not in SQL1.AD1.contoso.com so the script go on using SQL1.AD1.contoso.com.AD2.contoso.com and it's broken...
    I didn't mention earlier but the runas account I use is from domain AD1. It's called AD1\svc_scom_mp
    My question is how comes sometimes (sometimes means during 6 hours, a whole day, nothing reccurent :( ) The defaultnamingcontext gives me the fqdn of the other domain ??
    I'm wondering if this can be due to the fact that I also have an account called svc_scom_mp in AD2 but I'm 100% sure it's not used here as it's not targeted nor distributed to any AD1 computers.
    I guess it's more an AD problem than anything else.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi François
    I tested GetSQL2008SPNState.vbs on my POC with a similar configuration (one root and two child domains) and i have got the same issue. I think the root cause is the Server less binding (GC://RootDSE) used to search defaultNamingContext.
    With Server less binding, GC name relies on
    DNS round robin to find a GC, if a GC from another domain is returned the defaultNamingContext will be the other domain.
    You can check GC resolution with nslookup:
    nslookup gc._msdcs.contoso.com  (the root domain)
    repeat the command to see the round robin result.
    I wrote a vbscript to test it:
    This script search all GC and search defaultNamingContext with GC provider server less and server name binding. With LDAP Provider the right domain name is always returned.
    =============================
    ldapFilter = "(&(objectClass=nTDSDSA)(options:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=1))"
    Set rootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
    configDN =   rootDSE.Get("configurationNamingContext")
    Set ado = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    ado.Provider = "ADSDSOObject"
    ado.Open "ADSearch"
    Set objectList =   ado.Execute("<LDAP://" &configDN& ">;" & ldapFilter & ";distinguishedName;subtree")
    ' GC Server less binding LDAP

  • Problem replacing  chart axis title  with &string. syntax

    Apex 4.1.1
    Hi,
    I am having a problem replacing a chart axis title with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD., where P5_MYFIELD is an item with Source Type PL/SQL Function Body:
    begin
    return web_message.show('LASTNAME', 'dk');
    end;
    The Item is defined on the same Page as the chart in a different region. I can see that function is working ok, because the return value is displayed in P5_MYFIELD.
    There is a second item in an other region on the same page where the source value is defined with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD. It also displays the expected value. But when I use the string &P5_MYFIELD. as axis title it is not displayed.
    I also defined a field P0_MYFIELD on Page Zero with the same function, when I reference that with &P0_MYFIELD. as axis title on Page 5 the value is displayed correctly. I tried the same with a field on Page 1, &P1_MYFIELD. and it is displayed correctly.
    I think, the chart axis title must be substituted before the item P5_MYFIELD is executing the PL/SQL function body to get its value. Can anyone tell me why?
    We want to use string substitution syntax to translate all our labels in different languages. I would like to create hidden items with source type PL/SQL function body for all labels on a page and reference these values as label definitions. I would like to place them on the same page as the labels.
    Thanks
    Anne

    I started the application again and now also the Items are not displayed, only the message 'Label not defined', so I probably did something wrong with the computation. Why the correct values were shown during the first run, I do not know, maybe i did not logout in between.

    Now the correct value is displayed again in the P5_MYFIELD, because I had to set the item source back to PL/SQL Function body, but I am still getting the chart error and the chart is not displayed.
