How to link xcel pie charts to Indesign?

The company I work for is a dissicion to upgrade to Windows 7, unfortunately my version of Corel Draw no longer works on it.  Everyone in the Office has used Photoshop for a long time so I thought it was time that I went to Adobe.  I have create a large number of studies for our company with texts, graphics, images, sheets, calculation and piecharts.  The largest was of 62 buildings for a school system.  I had 4 architects, 5 mechanics, 3 electricians and engineers 2 feed me data for this study.  With all those who work at a different pace and in different areas, all my data was linked so that a small change would be routed through the different sections of the study.  As I was myself taught how to use InDesign, there is only one item that I have not been able to emulate.  I have not found how to bind a chart to areas of my xcel spreadsheet in InDesign.  Camembert must be able to update automatically.  There are far too many to go through and delete them, then place them.     Is there a way to bind a chart to excel industries in InDesign?  Is there a work around for this?  Any information would be very useful.

If you want a pie chart to automatic update, you will need to do in Illustrator.

There is no way to bind a chart to Excel sectors.

    How do label you pie charts in excel 2103

    Hi Tommy:

    Thanks for the response, but still the problem with multiple labels of legend.  The link mentioned only a single label legend on a pie chart, which was not a problem.  This is labelling the other elements of the 5 the chart legend.  There are currently 1 label with the other points being blank.

    He must ask these questions in the forums Microsoft Excel - those who are SPECIFICALLY for Excel issues.  In other words - 'experts' who hang there are expert in Excel.  You get people in this forum who are more into the OS in general - maybe a few application expertise sprinkled in here and there - but if you want someone who lives and breathes "Excel" - more likely to get in a forum dedicated to it.  (Click on the link, after a new question and I would say SEO - with a link - this conversation too!)

  • How can I change the contour of pie chart from black to white?

    I created a pie chart in Illustrator CS6 and may not know how to change the line of contour of the black to white (this is my first time trying to create a pie chart in illustrator and not found the answer to my question in any of the graphic illustrator formatting instructions.)

    With camembert fully selected, open the appearance Panel, double-click on "Content" and change the color of the outline.

  • Pie chart 3D with bevel deteriorates after export from indesign.

    I was the creation of 3D pie charts in illustrator and then placing them in the form of illustrator (.ai) files directly in my indesign document. However after doing so, he has a big loss of quality. The effects of light out as the striated white lines. Sometimes, there are random lines in works of art.

    Pie 3D with no lighting effects and no bevel seem to be doing well.

    To work around this problem, I exported the work as TIFF from illustrator and then placing the TIFF in indesign. It is a heavy workaround, increases the size of the file and also degrades the text under my camembert much.

    The two programs are CS5.

    Thank you.

    If you paste in front, the object will be selected to the dough. Just do not deselect anything.

    Sorry... Adobe went and changed the name... use Pathfinder > unit (it was called 'Add', a version or two), it takes the whole shape and makes a single object/path.

    Base color may be any color but white. Generally, I choose a base color that matches the color of the overal of the subject of the question.

    You could simply try the steps, then undo if you don't like the results.

  • How to call a negative value in a PIE chart

    We have some picky users that want the data that some of these negative in a pie chart. I use ABS() for show as positive negative measures and to make them appear, but I would like a way to be able to scream if one of the calculated items that appears in the PIE charts as negative when it is. Is there a way to color the pieces of pie by any other calculation that would show if the value is negative or a textbox communicate this element calculated is negative for this year?

    Seriously... the PIE is the wrong visualization for + ve and ve - values (a PIE is to compare the values of %)... Use the bar and then the values of ve - go below the x-axis.  You use ABS() bad negative positioning the real %s from the rest of the numbers - results in the wrong information that gives rise to wrong decisions - push this obligation!

  • How to place a line (HRule) in the middle of a pie chart

    Hello

    Is it possible to place a line (HRule) in the middle of a pie chart? I cannot place a HRule in the exact middle, he's going to the top or the bottom of the pie chart. Please, help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Sree

    I'm not sure what you have there, but you could play with the layout. Assigning the value "absolute" should leave your position any object anywhere, even on the other. But if you really want to do this properly, then extend you the components of the pie chart and add desired by programming online.

  • Creating a pie chart of the cell Type dropdown

    I do a log of time to monitor the time I spend on the task. My goal is to have an easy way to show the categories of time that I spend on a daily basis.

    I created a simple table that calculates the hours I spent on a task. In the last column, I have cells of type menu pop - up allowing me to choose a category to assign to this line.

    How can I create a Table of categories and then a related pie chart that will allow me to see the time in each category?

    I saw this thread: Re: creating a pie chart from of pop-up Menu in figures but it doesn't seem to work for me.

    Here's what I have so far:

    FYI, the formula I use to mean hours in column D is: IF (GOLD (ISBLANK (B2), ISBLANK (C2)), DURATION (0), C2−B2)

    Any help would be appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    The formula in your summary might look like this:

    = SUMIF (Time Log::E, A2, Time Log::D)

    To produce the table, I've selected all the cells in the summary table and chose 2D pie.

  • Dimensions of the pie chart

    I have a Camembert in InDesign. When I click on it, the dimensions seem to be 203 x 203 pixels:

    I want to make a graph in similar sectors in Illustrator. So, when I click to create a new pie chart, I put the dimensions of 203 x 203 pixels:

    But when I try to copy/paste the new graph in InDesign, it does not match the dimensions of the original graph. You can see if I overlay the new graph on the old chart:

    What I am doing wrong?

    The size of the pie in Illustrator are not accurate, and the transformation Panel does not work with tables. This has been a bug for eons.

    After you create the chart, you will need to resize the graphic to the size you want, and if you do several charts of the same size, it might save some time if you duplicate the first properly sized graphics.

    In addition, when you create the graph of x 203px 203px, which multiply by 1.15. If you do not have a stroke, which protrudes beyond the border of the chart, this should give you what you need.

  • Girls need help with a script to repeat the link to another folder in indesign

    I REALLY hope you smart people can help me.

    We had servers which means that all of our Indesign documents now have a broken link. To manually "re-edit the link to the file" causes Indesign down :-(. And it takes forever I am hoping to find a script that can connect all the links in the doc to a new file structure.

    The name of the link (name of file) and the file structure remains the same; Just point to another server. The structure contains subfolders so the best way would be that the script can see subfolders as well, but otherwise I would gladly use a script that points of 6 subfolders at a time.

    Problem - I KNOW NOT ALL SCRIPTS and I'm a graphic designer so I can't create scripts :-(. I have already had success Googling a script to unlink everything in the document, but I don't know how to run the script. DO NOT to create them.

    ANY help in this forum? I have 6 designers waiting for me to fix this.

    Is there a script where I could just change the path and then he could repeat?

  • Buttons on a pie chart and the display text

    It has been a long time since I created something like this in Captivate.  I used to use the alternative option to display text, and when they released the text would disappear.  How do I create pie shaped buttons (on a pie chart) allow to click the chart and display the text, then click on another piece and hide the text, but they would be allowed to click coins out of use.  I know this is really Basic for one :)

    Thank you

    Sabina

    You can use the smartshape. If you use a triangle, you can right-click and select freeform and then change the button in a wedge/pie. Fix advanced actions to display the text and hide all other texts.

    You can create the tarts in another program and use image buttons. I think it would be much easier.
