Unable to deal with scientific notation and large numbers? 14 years 2 months ago

I've been really enjoying playing around with the StatPlanet software, and hope to shortly publish something on my website using it. However, the dataset I'm wanting to publish has a very broad range, with values from 8 to 3.24E+65. My data is all in a suitable format and the import data macro has no troubling handling it correctly. However, when I run the flash part it all falls down when it encounters scientific notation. Owing to Excel only handling up to 15 sig figs properly there's no way of representing the largest numbers without the use of scientific notation. The only solution I...

Problems trying To Import Data 14 years 2 months ago

Hi,
 
When I try to Import Data on the Data Editor I get the error message.
Microsoft Excel cannot find the data you aresearching for. If you are certain the the data exists in the current sheet check what you typed and try again.
The options are End, Debug or Help. Continue is grey scaled. 
I did not type anything - I simply clicked on Import Data.
Any ideas

Custom regions for a newbie 14 years 2 months ago

Hi - I'm attempting to set up custom regions in StatPlanet  data editor. In the FAQs it details adding the region you'd like to the very last column of row 2 (country list) and adding data.  This works and I see the data.csv file now has my region, but I'd like the StatPanet exe to allow me to select this in the drop down.  How can I do this? 
I also suspect I'll need to define my region as a set of countries ... right?  I'm thinking the map regions tab is the lookup table?   I'm guessing I'd need to add a column - inserting for instance W EU, CEE and MEA - and re-defining the...

Percentages get imported as text 14 years 3 months ago

I am working with 4 indicators and the 50 states on the U.S. map. Three of my columns of data in the original excel file are formatted as percentages, yet when I import they all get changed to text (except the first one, Alabama). I have tried changing these values to percentages from within the data editor, but whenver I press "save data" they convert back to text.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Shapefile location 14 years 3 months ago

Hello
I am being succesful in loading the data and the shapefile but with the following problem. The location of the labels fall in a single point outside of the shapefile polygons. It seems the coordinates are not matching the data table.When mouse over on the polygons nothing happens, data is only activated when mouseover on the single point where all the labels are together. Zoom in can not hel pin discriminate their posistion either. 
I check the shape saving it again in QGis as suggested with WGS84 on it but did not work. Any clue how to solve this?

Dates stripped out on import 14 years 3 months ago

I am trying to import a straightforward Excel file that has 4 indicators, 4 dates, and several countries.  

When I import, no matter what dates I put in or what format the dates are in (number, text, date), the dates are all stripped and replaced with "2007" following the import.  My dates happen to be month specific.  I thought perhaps that was a problem so I experimented, replacing all dates with just years (fake, of course, which is undesireable).  Still, every year got stripped out and replaced with "2007" (which isn't in my data set).

I've also run tests where I...

Problem with multiple data files 14 years 3 months ago

Hi,
 
i'm trying to link multiple data files - i follow the procedure strictly but when i start the statplanet.exe and call the indicators that are not in the main datafile but the linked data files, data seem to appear but the "loading" banner remains at 100% and does not disappear - and the interactive map and indicators on the left are not accessible.
Not sure what i missed. I'm not far but must do something wrong.
Can amyone help?
Thanks!

Number of indicators 14 years 3 months ago

Hi all,
 
Does anybody know how many indicators I can add per selection. It seems to be limited to 5 maximum in the free version of StatPlanet. Is it possible to have 10 or more for instance and if so how do I do this?
 
Thanks for the help,Marc
