When copying a Pie Chart from one Excel tab to a new Excel tab, the chart data is still referring to the original table

Hi,
In Excel 2007, I have a pie chart on sheet 1. I want to make a copy of the pie chart from sheet 1 and past into sheet 2, and change the table data in sheet 2 to get new chart recalculated based on new table values in sheet 2.
However, the chart in sheet 2 is still pointing to the table data in sheet 1.
All the cells in sheet 1 have relative cells.
Please advise.
Thanks - Bijan

Hello Wind,
As teylyn suggested:
"An Excel chart is hard-wired to its data source. You can copy and paste a chart to a different sheet and it will still refer to the initial source data."
So I did create the template and used in my 2nd tab which worked perfectly. However, I had an issue with merged cells which I am using for my data, and tylyn suggested that I provide the excel file that I am working with, and I did.
So now I need help as how to make merged cells work when I try to create a pie chart from template based on new data (which reside in mergerd cells).
P.S. I cannot resize my cells to make the data and labels fit into one call, so I have to have merged cells.
Thanks
Bijan

  • Managed Metadata values scrambled when copying or moving documents from one Site collection to another.

    Hi
    What works: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *within* a Site Collection = all column managed metadata replicated accurately.
    What doesn't work: Copy or move a document library containing one or more MM columns *from one Site Collection to another* within the same Webapp. The issue is that some but not all MM values are totally wrong. By totally wrong I mean that the incorrect
    terms are associated with a TermSet that is not even referenced in this DL!
    Same result for all method's tried:
    1) Save the DL as a template (no contents) and then copy or move the documents in
    2) Programmatically do the copy
    3) Export the list via CA and then reimporting it using Pshell
    This thread is very similar but his workaround has not helped in this instance:

    Has anyone else experienced this and found the cause/solution? Or can anyone do this without the issues that I have described?
    Thanks

    Hi Nuno,
    I've got to the root of the issue but in answer to your question first: The MM column is attached to a Global Content Type - there is nothing local.
    The fact that some are ok and others are not led me down the route of checking the columns at item level. Scripting this did not help - all rows returned are what I would expect. ie The same MMColName with the expected value (as appearing
    on the source DL).
    On checking SharePoint manager however I have found what looks to be causing the issue.
    When checking the properties (ie SiteCollection/Lists/<ListName>/items/<itemName>/Properties) of the 'good' documents against the 'bad' documents I find the following:
    Good Docs: The MMColName is displayed as expected at the item level
    Field: Name
    Field:  Internal Name
    Item Properties:
    Ok?
    Partnership Type
    Partnership_x0020_Type
    Partnership Type
    Y
    Bad Docs: The MMColName is NOT displayed as expected at the item level. Instead the internal name is displayed:
    Field: Name
    Field:  Internal Name
    Item Properties:
    Ok?
    Register Type
    Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
    Type_x0020_of_x0020_Licence
    N
    Meeting Type
    Meeting_x0020_Type
    Meeting Type & Meeting_x0020_Type (Both columns are listed)
    N
    I should add that each of these 3 examples are taken from 3 different DL's - hence the different Fields
    So this looks to be a case of corruption - and unless we can think of any other outcome we will have to look to rebuild the DL - while trying to maintain the metadata!

  • How do I copy parts of layers from one AI doc into a new AI doc and keep/create same layer names?

    How do I copy PARTS of layers containing many objects from one CS5 AI (v.15.0.2) doc into a new CS5 AI doc and keep/create the same layer names?
    To start with, I have one fairly complex AI document with 100 layers,  with several hundred items in each layer. For example, one layer named "Stars" contains  400 separate stars (not grouped), another layer named "Crosses" contains 300 separate crosses, and a 3rd layer named "Text" contains 200 separate words (not outlined).
    If I select, by marqueeing a section of the image/artboard, some (but not all) of the individual items contained in the several layers, then  paste that selection into a new CS5 AI doc, I cannot get them to  create new layers of the same name. Instead they go into one general layer (e.g. "Layer 101") as a jumble of discrete, but unorganized objects (no layers or sublayers). In other words, I have lost the 3 main layers from which I selected a bunch of objects.
    Checking "Paste Remembers Layers" has no effect on this result. In fact "Paste Remembers Layers" does not remember layers at all. Only if I select ALL the items in the several layers will it paste those layers by those names into the new doc (or create new layers of the same names).
    Of course it is a COLOSSAL waste of time copying the ENTIRE document, then pasting the WHOLE thing into the new doc (with layers retained), then deleting the parts I DON'T need, so please don't suggest that as the solution.

    No Monica, nothing in Plug-ins other than the standard installed items (extensions, filters, formats, etc.). No 3rd-part clipboard extension on my computer that I'm aware of, either. All frustratingly basic. And my other CS5 Adobe programs appear to work well, at least to the extent that I am familiar with them.
    So, from what I can tell of the various comments (thanks to all of you), am I correct in thinking that it seems I can't, in fact, do what all of you can do (that is, copy some objects from some layers in one doc and paste into another doc preserving those same layers by name and organization, and each containing the correct objects from each original layer)?
    If so, that solves half my issue - "is it supposed to be possible to do it"; leaving just the other half - "why can't I do it too".
    I'll get those screenshots made and posted later just in case I haven't adequately described the issue, or y'all haven't understood it.

  • How to transfer adobe acrobat XI registration from one desktop to another (bought new PC).

    how do you  transfer adobe acrobat XI registration from one desktop to another (bought new PC).  Need to use ASAP!

    Hi jaanders2,
    The licensing agreement allows you to activate Acrobat on up to two computers. So, if you've only activated in your old computer, you simply need to install and activate Acrobat on the second computer. If you no longer have the installer file or installation media, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe
    If you need your serial number, this document will help you track it down: Find your serial number quickly - Adobe
    And this document, will walk you through the activation process: Activation & Deactivation Help
    Please let us know if you need additional help.

  • I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

    Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

    Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
    both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
    i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
    my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
    If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
    in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
    When  I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
    when I look at the "missing" files in  iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
    originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
    thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

  • Trying to copy a single page from one Adobe Muse site to another Adobe Muse site?

    Is there a way to copy a single page from one site to another within Muse (both muse sites)?  What exactly does the "Export Page" direction do?  I can't seem to determine how to "import" that page?

    Hi
    By default there's no automated way to move page from one site to another within Adobe Muse. However, you may manually copy the content of the page and paste in place on the new page you created in another  muse site.
    You may want to look to this short video how you may copy the content and paste in place :   http://screencast.com/t/lULpqvGCt
    As far as your another query is concerned, the export page option you see as shown below :
    is used when you publish the site to the hosting service and if you un-check this option the page won't be uploaded to the hosting service or won't be exported.
    I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further query related to this.

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • How can I copy an iPhoto book from one Mac to another?

    I'm wanting to copy an iPhoto book from one MBP (OS 10.7.3) to another (10.8.3). Is there an easy way to do it?

    You will have to copy the entire iPhoto Library to the other Mac as the library is a virtual entity in the library recorece in the database files.
    Once it's been copied launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the libary in the window that appears.  I
    NOTE:  if the new Mac has  newer iPhoto version than the old Mac check to make sure it has the same theme that you used in the book.  There were some changes in themes from iPhoto 8 (09) to iPhoto 9 (11).  If your new iPhoto doesn't have the same theme you may want to complete the book on the old Mac.

  • How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
    1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder
