2 data sources in same chart in Visual Composer

Hoping you can answer a question for me.
Do you know if there is a way in Visual Composer to combine the output of 2 data sources into the same chart or table?
Here is an example of what I am after.
Inside BW, we currently have sales history for the company (i.e. monthly sales numbers). We can use a BW query as data source for this data.
Now we have found some interesting web services that provide 'market' type data,( i.e. some economic indicator) that we'd like to corrolate to these sales. We'd like to also chart the monthly value of this external indicator on same chart. I can use an external web service as a data source for this data. Howveer, VC seems to only allow me to send the output of this service to a separate chart/table. This is not ideal. I'd rather be able to incorprate in same chart.
If this is not possble, can Web Application designer consume web services? If so, I'd be fine with doing whole application with this tool.

Hi Brad,
Technically it is possible to combine to data souces using COMBINE, UNION operators. So the resulting table contains columns of two data souces.
You can use this resluting table to create a chart.
I have not checked this uisng web services. But it should be possible.
Thanks,
Venkata

Assigning a Data Source to a Chart via JavaScript

Dear all,
Is it possible to assign a Data Source to a Chart via coding ?
something like :
CHART_1.setDataSource ...
Many thanks
Hans

I ran into the same problem. You can't dynamically switch DataSources for a chart, however, you can re-assign a DataSource to a different query.
I have a chart assigned to DS_1:
On startup, I need to check a flag, and use a different query based on the value of the flag.
Since I can't dynamically switch the DataSource for the chart, I simply switch the query that feeds the DataSource like this:
I hope this helps.

Pie chart in Visual composer

hi experts,
Can anyone tell abt the creatiob pie chart in visual composer??? for multiple values..
regards
roshini

Before you rush now and create a pie chart, sit back and read the following document of how to visualize data:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SIT/Visualization
You will see that pie charts are the by far worst method to display data. Edward Tufte (the guru in data visualization and a must read for everybody who wants to be serious with datawarehousing and dashboards) writes "A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart; the only worse design than a pie chart is several of them [...]" (p. 178, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information)
If you want to become the "laughing stock" of your folks and customers, and just show off marketing wise, then use as many pie charts as you can find. Your users however won't be able to make sense out of the data.
Sorry, I am very passionate about this topic

How to combine revenue data on a same chart using the same axis

Hi folks:
I'd like to create a chart like below... It's weekly revenue data from 2012, 2013 and 2014. I'd like to show all data using the same X-Axis so that people would easily tell if it's going up or down... Do I have to create a MDX query for
this purpose? I tried to create it using excel and it always comes with year information which prevents from using the same X-Axis
Thanks
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Cat_CA,
You can either create a calculated measure int he cube or in the excel. and send it your users. they see that measure ( Last year, before Last year) as regular measure. ask them to select this year in the filter and drag and drop the last year , this year
measures. A little training will solve this and they don't have to know the MDX.
the other way around is.. i created "relative dates" (view) as dimension. it will have members like
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[V_OLAP_DIM_RELATIVE_DATE]AS
SELECT     - 1 AS RELATIVE_DATE_KEY, 'Current Date' AS RELATIVE_DATE_NAME
UNION
SELECT     900, 'Calendar Same Day Prior YR'
UNION
SELECT     1130, 'Calendar Current Week'
UNION
SELECT     1140, 'Calendar Same Week Prior YR'
then, you need to add some calculations to the cube,
Scope(
[Date].[Day Name].[Day Name].Members,
[Relative Dates].[Calendar Same Day Prior YR]
this = (ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar Week Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Date].[Calendar Week Hierarchy].CurrentMember));
End Scope;
this will calculate the last year sales and display it.

MS Excel as data source - Cannot create chart views

Hi,
I created a model with sql server and excel as the data sources. Most of the numerical data is coming from excel.
In Answers, I created a table view and it showed me all the data (Eg months, budget amount, plan amount, actuals amount ). But when I tried to create a chart view, it is giving me an error like it requires atleast one measure to create or draw a chart. I am taking Month on x -axis ad all the other columns like budget, plan , actual on y axis.
Not sure y its behaving like this
Did anyone encoured similar issue?
Please help...
Thanks

Events can be used in CE to trigger one report after another.
In CMC, define a new event, Schedule type, based on success. Then schedule your first report, setting Events to Trigger Upon Completion to include this new event. Sechedule your second report to run at the same time, except select the new event in the Events to Wait For section. The second report will wait until the first report completes successfully before starting to execute.
Another possible way is to use Object Packages. However, if such a package is run on a report server that allows multiple reports to run simultaneously, I think the multiple reports in the package will run at the same time. (This would have to be verified, as I am not positive.) But if the report server that the object package is scheduled to run under was single threaded, they would probably execute in order.

Value Help for Date inverval in Variable Form in Visual Composer

Hi all,
I have created a variable form which has Date interval with value help as one of the parameters.
when i click on the value help and select any date interval then it is displayed as say '20081015:20090101' but when i submit this value i get an error "INVALID_VARIABLE_VALUES".
this variable is working fine when i manually enter the interval as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009'.
is there any way where we can input the date interval value as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009' using the value help.
any help is highly appreciated.
regards,
RK,.

Hi Ramakrishna,
Value help is considered as a popup iview in visual composer. You can change the fields in popup iview like normal iview. Drill down the popup iview of the value help and change the date format using DSTR function.
Try the below link for change the date format.

Retrieving data from two CRM data sources having same field name.

Hello Experts,
I am extracting data from 0CRM_OPPT_H(Opportunties) and 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 (Activities), in both data sources we have a comman field "DESCRIPTION_UC".which is the field for both Opportunity Description and Activity Description.
In BW "0CRM_DESCR" is the same object which is mapped to both opportunity and Activity descriptions field"DESCRIPTION_UC".
Data is retriving fine in both Infoproviders.
Our Requirement is to populate both above said Activity and Opportunity descriptions in the report, to achive this we need to create a multiprovider and populate the data.Plz help me how to assaign the objects in the multiprovider.
Thanks
Satya

Hi,
In Characteristics tab.
u find the identification tab.
Go there and click on both infoproviders corresponding to both info providers.....
One needs to clearly understand that there are different approaches in identification of KFs and Chars in a MP.
KFs, if they are identical by meaning, must be selected from EXACTLY ONE INFOPROVIDER.
CHARs must be selected in EACH INFOPROVIDER involved.
For example, I have a Char COUNTRY in my MP. And in the infoproviders I have Chars such as SENDING COUNTRY, DESTINATION COUNTRY, TRADING COUNTRY, COUNTRY OF GOODS ORIGIN, COUNTRY OF TRANSPORT. I need to identify which country in infoprovider will be treated as a COUNTRY in the MP. And such identification should be set for each Char in MP for each infoprovider.
If there is no data for COUNTRY in one of the providers (or COUNTRY is not properly identified in MP) then data from this infoprovider will come into MP query as NOT ASSIGNED or not come at all.
You can search these forums for something like no data in multiprovider. Youll find a lot of threads concerning this problem. In most cases the reason of this exactly what was said wrong identification of chars in MP or absence of char values in some infoproviders.

Hope this helps u..

Calling two different data sources within same transaction

Hi,
I have a method (in an Entity Bean), which I need to use two data sources.
But the system give this error when I try to do it.
An illegal attempt to use multiple resources that have only one-phase capability has occurred within a global transaction.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Chamal.

I hope you need to use XA Drivers (while create the connection pool it self you need to choose the XA Drivers) for this. else you need to use the userTranscations instead of containers.
Because other database drivers won't support this feature.
Please try any of this. Using XA drivers is costly interms of performace.

How can i update two block that they data source is same table .

i design user interface .
there are tow block ,they datasource is same table but differe field .
when i input a record ,i must input tow block ,then commit . for this .the total record is save in database .
how can i write those code .

Trying to hide your identity?
Why do you have two separate blocks here if there are different fields in each. The feilds in a block can be spread over multiple canvases / windows so layout is not a reason.
If you are in a situation where two blocks are displaying the same record for update them you'll have the potential of data consistancy problems as well.
So explain what you're trying to do with the two separate blocks and maybe we can come up with a better way to implement it.

Visual Composer: Date Range in Query

Hi,
While working in Visual Composer, I have come across the need to re-use the same query 20 times, but with slightly different date ranges. One way would be to create 20 copies of the same query and change the selection dates as needed on each of them. However, is it possible to provide date ranges in a query in Visual Composer? Right now its only letting me enter single values.
Thanks
Adeel

Problem can be resolved by using a colon between the dates. Furthermore, the DSTR function in the expression editor can be used to form the desired dates.

PowerView - 1 Workbook; 2 Data Sources(one linked to SQL and one a table inside excel); Both have same data set but Counts are Different

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone might have an explanation for the difference in counts.
Problem:
Excel 2013 on Windows 7
A Single excel spreadsheet with 2 data sources:
One created using "From Other Sources on the DATA tab which connects to SQL Server"
Second data source the same data as item 1, but in a differnet worksheet tab inside the workbook
[Sheet1] - Other SQL data Source
[Sheet2] - Exact Same data as Sheet1 but in a table
[PowerView] - 2 tables
Table one uses Sheet1 as its table data source
Table two uses Sheet2 as its table data source
When you Count(Not Blank) using the same criteria and fields for each table, the numbers dont match.
The one that has the incorrect count is when I use the Table data from [Sheet1] - which is the Other SQL Data Source
Testing:
I also created a standard pivot table using Excel and the counts then are both correct for both datasources. So it must be something in PowerView????
Any ideas anyone...

Removing unused data sources in Web Analysis

I created report with charts and spreadsheets and it created its associated data source object in Web Analysis.
But the cube associated with data sources is renamed by my admin. so old data sources are corrupted.
How do I remove those old data source objects in WA?
I am able to create new data sources to same report and use it, but when i open report every time, it asks me to log in to validate old data sources.
Any suggestion is appreciated. i have goggled for this information i am out of luck. i would have export and import report if i was aware of changes to my cube.
Thanks & Regards
Vic.

Hello Vic,
-> Open the Report, switch to designer mode
-> Double click on the report.
-> Select the desired datasource
-> Hit the Delete key on your keyboard
It would ask, if it is safe to remove
-> Click ok
