Hi Andee,
There has been a change to CODAP’s relationship to Google Drive as of yesterday. Thanks for the alert that things have changed in normal usage. We’re investigating how.
Hi Andee,
Try closing and remaking the map after having deleted the State attribute (or having moved County to be the first attribute). I think the map is not paying the attention it should to changes in the dataset like deleting or moving attributes.

Hi Andee,
Build 0567 is in QA at the moment. If it passes, the release will be later today. I’ve got my fingers crossed!

Hello Gerrit,
Good question! Currently links to shared documents do not expire. We plan that in the future, if a shared link has not been accessed, that is, no one has used the shared link to open the document it points to, within a certain time period, it will expire. We haven’t yet determined what the time period within which the link must be accessed will be, but we know that teachers frequently create materials that are only used every other year, so it will be at least two years.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi Andee,
I don’t know enough about the subtleties of working with Google Drive to understand what is going on here. I hope you were able to preserve your re-worked document.
Thanks very much for letting us know that this kind of thing can happen.

Hi Ken,
It took me awhile to reproduce the bug as merely opening the document did not show the problem. But if I grab one of the squares in a legend and switch the order, I can see the mislabeling.
Thanks so much!

Hi Laura,
Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. Your post got stuck in a spam filter but I think we’ve got that figured out now.
I was able to make something that might be useful to you. It’s here. A screenshot of the graph is shown below. Some notes and directions are contained within.

Hi Andee,
I’m not surprised that CODAP doesn’t allow you to save through a shortcut as its use of the Google Drive API is quite limited. Did you try logging out of one account and logging into the other where you actually want the file?
Regarding loss of work—that’s mysterious. CODAP auto-saves incrementally so it shouldn’t be possible for a crash to set you back as you describe. I don’t know of anyone experiencing something like that.

Hi Andee,
The sum function expects a single expression to be summed over all cases. Here’s the documentation:
sum(number, filter) Returns the sum of its argument evaluated for every case. sum(grade_point) computes the sum of the grade points
sum(Mass, Height>60) returns the sum of the masses for heights taller than 60
The strange results you get from sum(V1,V2,V3) are the result of summing the values of V1 over all cases for which V2 look true, totally ignoring V3.
V1+V2+V3 is the best way to get the sum of the values for the three attributes for each case.
Hope this helps,
Bill
Hi Traci,
Thanks for this question! You have motivated me to find a more complete set of country boundary files and update our database with them. These will appear in the next release—0566. I think I added almost 100 new boundaries!
Here is a link to a shared view of the new boundaries so you can check out whether the countries you’re interested in will be present in the next build.
To attempt to answer your question, my memory is that at the time I simply wasn’t able to find boundaries for those entries that did not get boundary values. Apparently things are better now!
And a question for you: What are you working on that requires a more complete set of boundaries?
Hello,
CODAP should give the same result. Would you mind providing a shared link to the CODAP document? Or a CSV file containing the data?
Thanks,
Bill
I’m not sure whether there’s a tutorial or not. If not, there should be!
In any event, as shown in the screen capture below the configuration menu for a dot chart allows you to fuse the dots into bars to create a bar chart.
And by the way, if you drop a numeric attribute into the middle of of a dot chart of bar chart, the cases in the chart are sorted so like values are together, making for a smooth gradient. (See second screen capture.)
