CDEF Templates Work, New CDEFs don't

[Nolan]

For various graphs, I need to convert the data from Kilobytes (as it is stored by the application) to Bytes, so that the units appear correctly (my GBs of disk space were showing up as MBs)

On my production environment, if I create a new CDEF that multiplies the data by 1024, and apply the CDEF to the appropriate graphs, the graphs fail and do not generate. If I remove the CDEF, the graph reappears.

If I apply an existing CDEF to the graph, the graph generates fine, but based on that CDEF, of course.

If I modify and apply an existing CDEF to reflect the changes I am seeking (to multiply by 1024), the graphs generate and reflect the modified data units (what originally incorrectly appeared as a megabyte, now correctly shows up as a gigabyte).

Any thoughts?

I had a simiar problem. I accidentally broke the built-in "bytes to bits" CDEF. To fix it, I had to hack up a new CDEF that looks like this:

Item #1: Data Source
Item #2: Custom Entry: 8,*

This makes the CDEF string generator produce a,8,* which works. Also, sometimes I had to erase and re-create this CDEF a few times before it worked.
