Re: Series markers disappearing

I think you may have misunderstood my original problem.

The problem is when enabling markers on Series 2.

They disappear after re-opening the file.

Your file has the markers on Series 1, which doesn't have that problem.

Because both series lie on the same curve, you can only select series 2 from ...

Re: Series markers disappearing

Thank you! I'll try your saved file. It is odd that this has happened to me a few times, so I really want to know what I'm doing wrong. I will re-try everything!
By the way, my mention of noise was to explain that I knew I had introduced a deliberate noise (to test my models) so I am aware (and very ...

Feature suggestion: Highlight currently selected sheet tab

Could I suggest that the currently selected sheet tab is highlighted. At the moment, it is slightly emphasised by being slightly more in the foreground, but it isn't obvious.

Here it is at the moment:

And here is a mock-up of a highlight on the currently selected tab ...

Re: DEC2BIN fails for more than 9 binary digits

DEC2BIN works fine in FreeOffice PlanMaker 2024 (rev F1234.0411)
In FreeOffice DEC2BIN(512) gives "1000000000"
In OfficeNX 2026 DEC2BIN(512) gives "#NUM!"

Another example that proves the new strange limit of 10 binary bits:
In FreeOffice DEC2BIN(-42) gives "11111111111111111111111111010110" (2's ...

DEC2BIN fails for more than 9 binary digits

I frequently use the DEC2BIN functions (and all the related functions for base conversion). It seems that this particular function can't cope with more than 9 digits of binary. For example, DEC2BIN(511) provides "111111111" correctly (9 digits of binary), but DEC2BIN(512) fails, presumably because ...

Re: Why isn’t my post getting any replies?

Hi Văn,

Don't worry, I'm sure you will get some replies soon.

At this time of year, many companies in Europe have staff vacations and not everyone can respond until they return to work.

As a customer myself, I know how important it is to get a response, but it will certainly happen. Softmaker are ...

Series markers disappearing

Hi all,
I've created a PMDX file that has a chart with 2 series plotted on it.
The markers on Series 2 don't seem to stay enabled after I save the file.
I've encountered this problem before on a different file that I had created from scratch. I must admit that I'm not sure if that problem had a ...

Disappearing line on graph

Hi all,
Encountered a tiny problem with a line on my chart that disappears after I save and then load the PMDX.
I've tried to reproduce this with a really simple sheet and chart, but everything works fine. So it's something to do with this sheet, which isn't that complex, but does have a couple of ...

That was a very fast reply, thank you!
I'm very (VERY) impressed by Softmaker and it's my absolute preferred set of Office tools and has been since I discovered you in 2008. I'm glad we have this community and connection with the developers that can look into issues. You wouldn't get that from "you ...

Trendline Polynomial won't go above 3rd Order

I accidentally encountered a problem when adding a polynomial trendline to a simple scatter chart of some test data.
I can adjust the polynomial "order" from linear (1st order) all the way up to 6th order. I can see the preview of the trendline is changing as I increment the order number. But ...

Chart has gone black

Hi all,

I've encountered this on a couple of different files.

In PlanMaker 2024 the sheet and chart display correctly.

In Planmaker NX Beta, the sheet is OK but the chart is black.

I've attached the PMDX file (originated in PM 2024) and the screenshots.

I've toggled my Windows 11 dark mode ...

Re: New dark mode

Personally I do very much like the dark mode, including the dark document mode too. I know it's not to everyone's tastes, but I guess that's why it's an option. I'm an electronic design engineer and I do a lot of my design work in CAD in what could be called dark-mode, although they are simply ...

Small error in polynomial coefficients calculation

I absolutely love using Softmaker compared to MS Office and it's my first "port of call" for every single job now. However I noticed a strange inaccuracy when calculating polynomial coefficients using the LINEST function. See attached file.

Thicker lines in graphs?

Hi all,

Is it possible to increase the maximum line thickness available for graphs (in this case the X/Y Scatter).

I've attached a PM2018 file that shows a graph with 2 curves plotted on it. I'd like one of the curves to be much thicker (the full sine wave one) so that is is not obscured by the ...
