3D Bar chart labels

how do you move value labels on a 3D stacked bar chart so they dont overlap each other. For that matter, how do you move them on the chart period! On a PC, you just click and drag.

Hi all,
First - I love Numbers and iWork 08 - fantastic software for a fantastic price, no doubt, and it get's better for every iteration by giant leaps.
However, 3D Charts are currently only useful some of the time. Whilst it may be true that you can re-orient the chart so you can read your x-labels, this only works for very few datapoints.
For example, I have a list of daily prices which should be mapped on a 3D-stacked area chart. With 3 years worth of datapoints, it is "impossible" to get a decent looking chart.
First of all, I would have to be able to just move the x-labels further away from the chart base line. Second, instead of me having to delete the dates until I only have a single date value per quarter, it would be great if you could just select specific dates to be plotted as lables on the x-axis.
I guess it's 2D for now then...

Problem with stacked bar chart label

Hi,
According to page export sql file I'm using APEX version 2.0.0.00.49.
I'm trying to make stacked bar chart but no matter what I do I can't have series label to be displayed within the chart area.
Is it a bug fixed in a latter version of APEX ? Is there something particular to do (for example an option to thick) to have them displayed ?
thank you for help.

The answer is yes there is something particular to do.
If you want your stacked bar chart to display well all series have to be the same and not null.
So you must write outer joined queries with nvl in the select.

Format SVG bar chart labels

I am currently using APEX 2.2.1.
Here is the SQL for my SVG vertical bar chart.
select * from(select null link, hourstart label,(select count(*)
FROM toctasks.toc_tasker
where (tas_create_dt between
to_date(:P17_STARTDATE||' 06:00','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI')
and
to_date(:P17_ENDDATE||' 05:59','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'))
and
(trim(substr(to_char(tas_create_dt,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'),10,6)) >= hourstart
and trim(substr(to_char(tas_create_dt,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'),10,6)) <= hourend )
and instr(:P17_INCLUDE_LOGONLY,tas_status) > 0) value from testtocday
order by hrseq)
The X axis labels are the hours of the day (hourstart), starting at 0600 and ending at 0500.
I would like to do any one of the following:
1. Bold and red the hour label when it is equal to 0600, 1400 and 2200.
2. Change the color of the bar when the hour label is equal to 0600, 1400 and 2200.
3. put some sort of vertical marker in the chart when the hour label is equal to 1400 and 2200.
Any of this possible?
Thanks,
Bob

hi patrick--
i'm not seeing this limit in my tests. i tried both vertical and horizontal bar charts and was able to display labels like ename||ename||ename||ename||ename w/o issues. if you're still hitting it, could you please describe where/how your hitting that 15 character limit?
thanks,

Bar Chart labels are occupying more than the needed space

Hi,
I'm using a bar chart to display percentages. X axis is for 0 to 100% and Y-Axis is for categories. Labels on Y-Axis are aligned to the axis line, and it leaves some blank space on the left of the label, that could used by the chart area. Is it possible
to control this?
Thank you

Hi Pedro,
Do you mean the value of the label is long and will be cut and not display all the word？ I have set the properties of CustomInnerPlotPosition but not CustomPosition and can't see the issue.
You can using the expression in the label to make one long label to display
Wrapped like below：
=IIF(Len(Fields!Category.Value)>5,Left(Fields!Category.Value,5) + chr(10) + Right(IIF(Len(Fields!Category.Value)>5,Fields!Category.Value,"11111"),IIF(Len(Fields!Category.Value)>5,Len(Fields!Category.Value)-5,5)),Fields!Category.Value)
Above expression will split one label to disply in two line, first five word in first line and the rest in the second line like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to make the labels vertical in a horizonal bar chart?

Hi,
I am using CF 9. I have a horizontal bar chart. How can I make the labels on the Y-Axis display horizontally. Right now they are vertical and sort of sideways.
Below is a snipept from my <cfchart>. Everything is working, I just want the labels to display horizontally. How can I do this?
<cfchart
                          format="png"
                          chartheight="310" chartwidth="530" foregroundcolor="##000000"
                          show3d="false"
                          scalefrom="0" scaleto="14"
                          showlegend="no"
                          showxgridlines="yes"
                          showygridlines="no"
                          showborder="no"
                          style="#elementStyle#" >
                          <cfchartseries type="horizontalbar" paintstyle="shade"">
                          </cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
Thanks...

When you open the default New Tab page - about:newtab - which has the Tiles and a Search Bar, the "focus" is in the Search Bar. You could change a hidden setting to have a blank page when you open a new tab if that's what you want - that will have the "focus" in the Location Bar . URL Bar.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''Accept the warning''
Search field at the top to filter with this - '''browser.newtab.url'''
Right-click the preference that appears below, and select '''Modify'''.
Insert '''about:blank''' for the new string value.

How can I show a 0% range in the data value label on a bar chart thanks?

How can I show a 0% range in the data value label on a bar chart thanks?

I'm not sure what the question is.
I know that if you have a bar chart and one of the categories (X-axis) has bar (Y value) equal to 0%, no bar is plotted for that category. Even the addition of a stroke (line) around the bars doesn't make one appear for 0%. The only automatic way I know of to make it look like there is data in that category is to add the value labels to the bars. Inspector/Chart/Series, select one of the bars on the chart, click on "value labels". Another method that is a workaround is to fudge the number a little in your table so that instead of 0% it is a very small %. This will get you a thin line on the chart.
But if your question is about the value labels (the numbers that display on or in the bars) and you are not getting one for a bar that is supposed to be 0%, it probably means your table doesn't actually have a 0% in the corresponding cell. A blank cell in the table will not get a value label.

Oracle APEX Bar Chart: Missing labels

Is there a way to get all the data labels to print for an Interactive bar chart? My bar chart has about 16 items. Only 9 of the labels display/print. All the labels are there if I hover over them but I would like to display them. Can I change the font size or something to get them to appear?
Can I display more lines (so the chart doesn't fit on the screen)? Would this solve the problem?
I am currently using APEX 3.2.0.00.27
Thank you

If you are running CF9, check the <labelStyle isHideOverlapped="true"> property. If not, you could try slanting/wrapping the labels so they fit the space a bit better. Adjusting the chart size so they do fit is another option.
That said, you should still set reasonable limits for title length. If the titles are very long, you may want to abbreviate or truncate them after X characters.

Break for Horizontal Axis Labels in OBIEE 11g Bar Chart

Hi all,
I have a vertical bar chart created in OBIEE 11g. The horizontal axis (x-axis) is a compound of Scenario, Year, and Month. The chart width is already long enough so it cannot be made any longer.
The chart looks like this (the label of horizontal axis is staggered):
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
Actual Feb 2012____________Actual Apr 2012
___________Actual Mar 2012_____________Actual May 2012
How can I force the labels for the horizontal axis to be broken into 2 lines (or even 3 lines), so that it will look like this:
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___Actual________Actual________Actual________Actual
__Feb 2012_____Mar 2012_____Apr 2012______May 2012
Any advice? Thanks a lot!

Hi Stewart,
I could not try this yet, but how about 'Enabling the Contains HTML Markup' for the columns for Heading and including a '</br>' tag at the end of the name.
Ex: Column - >Properties -> column Format -> Column Heading -> Enable Contains HTML Markup -> Column Heading's suffix =less than symbol /br greater than symbol (Oracle forums is even break the line too!! ;) So included the text)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Positioning the label of a bar of a range bar chart - SSRS 2012

Hi,
is it possible to center the label of a bar belonging to a range bar chart, in order to position it inside the bar area?
Thanks

Hi pscorca,
If I understand correctly, you want to set the label to be displayed in the middle of bar series. To achieve this goal, we can use the BarLabelStyle property. For more details, please see:
Right-click the bar series, and then select ‘Show Data Labels'.
Click the bar series to open Property grid window.
Expand CustomAttributes node, then change the property of BarLabelStyle to ‘Center’.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

Category labels fail to update in column and bar charts

I originally posted this comment in another thread (Re: Category labels fail to update). I thought I should repost it, as the issue still exists after installing SP1 Fix Pack 2 (version 5.1.2.0), and it wasn't clear from the previous thread that the problem had been logged.
If you have a bar chart or stacked bar chart, the category labels do not update with the underlying data when you have the "Horizonal (Value) Axis Labels" box unchecked. Same effect with a column chart if the "Vertical (Value) Axis Labels" box is unchecked.
I'm getting around the problem in the meantime by keeping the box checked but changing the font size to zero, which reduces the labels to small dashes, and then using a font colour that matches the background as much as possible.
... by the way, another issue I see in this same area is that although there are separate checkboxes in charts for choosing whether to display titles and subtitles, it is not possible to select just titles - both checkboxes appear to be locked together.
- Peter

Hi Tammy,
I didn't regard #2 as bug - in fact I thought it was helpful to be able to set the size to zero as a workaround to the problem outlined in #1.
Regarding #3, if this is by design, then I'd suggest that it's a poor design choice to have checkboxes next to both titles and subtitles, since this implies that they should be able to be separately controlled.
Something else I've noticed with this formatting area is that the position and offset controls are disabled, and there doesn't appear to be any way to use them. It would be very helpful to be able to use these to move the position of chart titles. In a dashboard I'm currently building, we have a large stack of charts sized very small, to attempt to resemble the 'sparkline' concept. But the chart titles are so high, it's not clear which chart they refer to (they look like they might refer to the chart above it). As a result, I've had to remove the chart titles and place independent labels over top of each chart to be able to position them closer to the chart's display area.

Can you print labels to the side on stacked bar charts in Crystal

can you print labels to the side of the bars on stacked bar charts in Crystal?

Hi Ginger,
I don't see an option to do that in CR. Is there a specific reason why you want them on the sides or is it just a client requirement?
Try posting this to the Crystal Reports Idea Place.

Problems with Value Labels in Stacked Bar Chart

Post Author: RGR
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
When choosing a stacked bar chart to display the contribution of 2 values to the overall total, the graph plots correctly, but the value labels are incorrect. Instead of labeling the values for A & B, the graph is appropriately labeled for A ,but the label for B is the total for A+B. It should be just "B".
Has anyone else experienced this problem or has a solution. I am using CR 2008
TX

Post Author: Joy Hampson
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have this issue a lot with CR XI. As I have never used CR 2008, I am not sure of the commands. But in CR XI, right click on the graph and select Chart Options. On the Data Labels tab, at the bottom there are two options: Cumulative and Absolute. It defaults to Cumulative, so change to Absolute. That always works for me.

SSRS Stacked Bar Chart Smart Label Problem

I have a SSRS 2008 Stacked Bar Chart. When the bar values are close then the Series labels often merge and overlap making the value unreadable. I have set the properties so that Smart Labels AllowOutSidePlotArea is true, NoMoveDirections Right = False etc.
but they still overlap.
How do I set so that the values are plotted in a readable manner?
Thanks

Hi CDG100,
According to your description, it seems that the issue which you occurred is that series label got overlapped when there are some sections with small value in the bar. If in this scenario, there are several properties you can use to try to get the labels
to fit better. The SSRS 2008 charts contain a feature called smart labels, and we expose a lot of options that control their behavior. Here are some properties that may help. First, select the data point, then go to the SmartLabels node in the property grid.
Expand the "NoMoveDirections" node. This will give you set of directions that you can use to restrict the directions that the labels can move in. You can try to change directions to see if it helps.
You can remove the CallOutLine by setting the CallOutStyle to None and the CallOutLineAnchor to None. You can also change their widths or their styles to see if that helps.
If the issue is still existed, we can try to set the horizontal axis interval to a small one. This will make the lower values big enough to display the label. However, it will make your chart really tall for the ones with high values.
Another possibility is to use Tooltip instead of actually displaying. Type a same expression with Value field in the Tooltip property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

BIP 11.1.1.7 - Stacked Bar chart data label not visible in pdf

Hi all,
I have a report built with the online editor. This contains a stacked bar chart with percentage values in a repeating section and I made the property DataVisible=true.
When I view the report in interactive mode it all works: I can see the data label for every value of the parameter but when I view in any other format (PDF, PPT, ecc..) the data labels are visible in the first chart (for the first value of the parameter) while in the other charts they aren't. This doesn't happens for other types of chart, for example with a pie chart.
Can someone help me or tell if it is a bug?
Thanks,
Micaela

Hi Mitalee,
Would you please check the PAM at https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100018972812014E
On page 11 it says 64 bit IE11 is not supported; is your IE11 32 bit or 64 bit?
