In-Depth Chart Web Part References

I have look at the available chart web part online manuals such as the one below and but it does not provide in-depth answers about the various chart options or how best to use web charts part.
I would appreciate the title of a publication that really explains the web chart part and how to construct charts. I thought it would allow building charts like in XL but not so. The help below is one-dimensional forcing one to play and play with the part
to attempt divine how it works. Thanks.

Chart web part - lookup columns corrupted

Hello,
I am using the chart web part, and if I reference the lookup column, which is last names, it posts both the last names and the number, such as:
42; #LASTNAME
How do I not have it display that number, semicolon and #?
Thanks,

Lookup field contains both title and ID, and to get title only, you need to use Look
var lookupItemValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["lookupfield"].ToString());
value = lookupItemValue.LookupValue;
or you can use substring function to fetch value after semicolon (;)

Error in Creating a Chart Web Part Connected to a List-Column named "" already belongs to this DataTable

Hi,
I am trying to create a Chart Web Part that is connected to a list.
I inserted a Chart Web Part on the page.
In Step 1, I chose, Connect to a List.
In Step 2, I chose the List, "QPAPForm"
After I connect to the list (QPAPForm), and I get to step 3 to Retrieve and Filter Data, I have the following error message: "Please correct the following: A column named "Update Policy Tasks" already belongs to this Data Table.
"Update Policy Tasks" is a Workflow used on this list (QPAPForm), but it is not a column value per se.
How do I correct this issue?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi,
I have done a test, and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I created a custom list and an approval workflow which generated an column in the custom list. Then created a Chart Web Part which was connected to the custom list, I didn’t meet any error.
Let’s verify the following:
What template is your List template? what columns does the list has?
What kind of workflow has generated the “Update Policy Tasks” column?
I suggest you re-create the list without workflow and do a test, compare the results.

SP2010: Different colors for chart bars in Chart Web part with single data series?

Hello,
I've been asked to create a chart for visual display and summary of Status values within a SharePoint list of job positions. The list of positions includes a Status field with the only values being Open and Closed. I created a page that shows the list, and
at the top I inserted a Chart Web part that displays two bars - one showing the number of Open positions and one showing the Closed positions. Because I was having difficulty getting the totals for each Status value to show up in the chart, I followed
the instructions at
http://highbrowse.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/chart-counts-from-sharepoint-lists/ and pointed my chart at the new "Status values" list - this worked well to display the sum counts for each of the two Status values in separate bars.
This was all fine and good, except that because I am only using one data series for my chart, both of the bars (for Open and Closed) show up as the same color. I've been asked to make them different colors but cannot figure out how to do so. Can someone
provide guidance on how I could make the two bars different colors? Thank you so much.
cheers

Hello,
as far as I know, the chart web part does not have any settings to change the color of individual data points or plot data points of a series in different colors. If you only have two values in the series, you could use a pie chart instead of the column
or bar chart. In a pie chart, the different slices have different colors.
cheers, teylyn

The web part references an untrusted xsl file

i have created a custom ItemXSL in my sharepoint 2013 root site (style library>xsl style sheets)
in th subsite i have exported a content query webpart and changed the itemxsllink property and specified the path starting from my root site eg: /rootsitename/subsitename/style library/xsl style sheets/customitem.xsl and saved changes
i uploaded this new webpart again and when i try to insert this webpart i gets the above error "the webpart references an untrusted xsl file"
i tried specifying the property starting from style library and subsite name as well none of them worked any more changes i have to do or how to specify the path in ItemXSLLink property name
Regards
Mahesh

Hi,
What if you put the .xsl file in the sub site and link to it in your Content Query Web Part?
If it works, then please modify the link as below and do the test again:
~siteCollection/Style%20Library/yourfolderpathhere/customitem.xsl
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.

Chart Web Part to not plot zeros on a line graph

Hi all,
Is it possible to not plot zeros on a line graph?
I have a line chart with days of the current month along the x-axis and a value on the y-axis. I have a series representing a forecast as a line that will show what the values along for the whole month should be and a second
line chart series representing the actual. This tells the reader how the actual is tracking against the forecast. The data is based on an excel table.
Currently when the latest value is set the line skews back to 0. I don't want this shown, I just want it left blank. On excel you can change the zeros to na() and the line graph will not plot, however, if I leave them as na() in the source data, the whole
column wont be imported in the chart wizard.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

It's true -- the RangeBar chart type only has two field options (X and Y) while the RangeColumn correctly has an addtional Y field. The RangeBar chart should obviously have two X fields if it's supposed to plot a range, as the name and example image indicate.
Neither this thread or the one linked has led to an answer. Can this be fixed?

Pie - Chart Web Part - Label Alignment empty

Hello all,
I create lots of Dashboards to display KPIs for my company and I always struggle with the pie chart labels as the always end up overlapping unless I rotate them but that just looks naff.
My frustration and question is that the "Label Alignment" option is empty and therefore does not allow me to select "Open" which is the feature I seek.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be and if there is a work around?
Thank you in advance
Jessica

You would potentially run into this with lookup fields as well, I believe. I would make a column that is single line of text for the purpose of the chart. That would make sure the NUM;# is removed.

Orginization Chart web part seeing duplicate users

Doing a People search, then viewing their profile, the Org Chart shows a persons name twice
The user does not have a My Site.
No duplicates in User Profile Service.
User was not migrated.
People Search shows one result.
2 Accounts in Active Directory. One is disabled.
Clicking on each of them shows a different url path.
/Person.aspx?accountname=EUR%5Chm018512
/Person.aspx?accountname=EUR%5Chm011634
NOTE: Clicking on 011634 url link does nothing.
Any fixes to this one? Thoughts?
Chris

Disabled user accounts appear by default I believe. You can get around this by configuring the synchronisation settings in the UPS and setting up a exclusion filter.
This kb article gives a good set of guidelines on how to achieve this

Chart Web Part - Stacked Column Chart and the Y Field

I am trying to create a stacked chart in Sharepoint.
I am encountering a problem at the "Bind Chart to Data" Step. Retrieval of Data goes without a hitch - all rows and columns are captured and shown, but then when it comes to adding series, the "Y Field" drop down menu only shows one of
my columns. So of course, the final chart only has one data series visible - a normal column chart instead of a stacked one.
What could be the cause of this, and how do I fix it?

Yes, that's right. That is exactly what I want to do.
But, the problem I'm facing is that when it comes time to select the second series settings as:
The second Series settings:
Series Name: Oranges
Series Type: StackedColumn
Series X-Axis Type: Primary
Series Y-Axis Type: Primary
X Field: Day
Specifically >>>>Y Field: Oranges
The Y-field option which appears as
a drop-down menu on the page, does NOT show the option "Oranges". It shows only "Apples" again, and also a blank setting (selecting this also does not cause desired graph to get created).
I want to know HOW to be able to select "Oranges" as the Y-field because I am unable to do so!

Web Part Chart Help

I have set up a Web Part Chart as a bar chart based on Desk Utilisation. Does anyone know if there is a way I can change the colour of an individual bar if the value is greater that a preset figure say 100%.

I don't believe so. Honestly the Chart Web Part is not very good (removed in 2013). I'd suggest exporting the list to excel and saving the .iqy (query) file and use it as a data connection. Then create a PowerPivot chart and save that. Set it to refresh
the data on open. Now you have a better tool for charts.

"What's Happening" Web Part

Hey there.
i'm working on SharePoint13 platform.
I would like to create my own "What's Happening" Web part.
it looks the same as the default web part but I want to change the values and critiria out of a sharepoint list.
how can I do it?
p.s is there any way I can create a dynamic chart/graph out of sharepoint list?
thanks

Hi,
I presume you want to create a web part similar to What's Happening but get the values from SharePoint list? If that is the case you can develop a custom web part and can use css referred by What's Happening web part to give same look
and feel.
Microsoft has discontinued the chart web part in SharePoint 2013, However, the available option is a custom web part using any of the option mentioned below
1) Custom Web part using JQuery/SilverLight : Please refer to the url http://www.lucknowz.com/SitePages/Chart.aspx for JQuery to be used to draw chart with SharePoint List
2) Use PowerPivot with SharePoint List : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
Hope this helps!!!
Thanks,

Hi,
We are configuring the Team Foundation Server web part to show dashboards associated with burndown, user stories, etc. I added some active but when I click on the Bug Progress link, the chart does not display any data. I click on the Burndown link to
add some issues data. When I click on the Task burndown or the user story progress, I get the following message
"The error occured during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh:

I would like the see the data correctly populated in the chart. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Comicrage86,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS and SharePoint?
Do you mean the burndown report and bug progress chart in team project site? If yes, your current team project created using which process template?
As far as I know team project Release Burndown report shows in team project site by default. How did you add the active to show Bug Progress chart and did you custom your Burndown in team project site? Please share the detailed steps here. And you can share
your screenshots here, it will help us provide the better response.
If reports cannot show correctly in your team project site, please check the default reports in your team project>>Reports, ensure that default team project reports working fine in your Reporting Service site first. Then follow the
steps in this
article to troubleshooting the SharePoint Dashboards data source issue.

? best book for understanding & modifying "Web Part Page" constructs and syntax i.e. WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart

Hello can anyone recommend an in depth "hands on" book or paper for understanding & modifying "Web Part Page" constructs and syntax elements i.e. <WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart
<WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart runat="server" AllowHide="True" PartImageSmall="" PartOrder="4" Title="Time" ManualRefresh="False" ViewGuid="{7C672E08-B5D5-435D-A8FE-AB84E97099B1}"
So far i've bought every Sharepoint Developer 2007/2010 book available, but none seem to really cover the layout and structure of the XSL methods in enough detail!
Thanks for any recommendations, links or white paper references ect!

Hi,
XsltListViewWebPart is a class that handles view rendering for default lists, such as document libraries and announcements, and it is inherited from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages namespace.
Please check the link below for understanding the elements used in the XsltListViewWebPart class:
