Adding a Goal Line to a chart in Webi

Does anyone know how to add a goal line to a chart created in WEbi? It seems like this would be a standard option.

geozuh,
You would think that adding a goal line to a WebI report would be an available option within the software package, but it is not (but this sure sounds like a viable enhancement, so hopefully some of the Business Objects Enhancement Gurus are listening in).
It should be possible with a bit of fiddling with data in your database to create a "reference-type" table that could mimic all of the data values present but you would "plug" a metric-type column with the goal.  For instance, on your bar graph you have x and y coordinates.  The x could be the total sales by year, the y is the items (I know, I should be using an example from E-Fashion, but I'm not up-to-speed on it).  In your "reference-type" table you would replicate all of the year and item data and create a new column (perhaps called "goal") which you plug with the goal value.  In your universe you can link the two tables and when the report runs, voila you have all of your data.  Now you can use the "vertical bar and line" graph to plot your old x and y and use z for the goal.  Just a thought, and I know, "it's the long road to China", but hopefully you've got some ideas to tool with now.

  • Goal Line Chart in Flex

    Hello All,
      I'm creating a project that consists of flex chart componnents. However, client requires a goal line in the charts. I've googled allday on this and cant seem to find any samples. Is this even possible? If so, can you please lead me to the right direction.
    Kinda like this example..but just have the goal line horizontal.
    Jeff

    Can you just take the min and max from the data source feeding your line chart, build a separate line chart with start and end corresponding to those two points and y-value corresponding to your goal, and add a second series to the chart? You may need to build a custom lineSegmentRenderer if you want a dashed line but a thin, low-alpha line may look fine.

  • How to display a goal line in a Flash 2D Line Chart?

    Hello,
    I am using Apex 3.0.1 and have a Flash 2d Line Chart displaying a ratio that varies from 1.0 to 1.6 for every month for a year. I need to draw a goal line at 1.2 to show the goal for the ratio. Also, I have grid lines enabled for the y-axis.
    Any pointers/tips on how to accomplish displaying this goal line would be really useful.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dev

    I'm having the same problem!
    APEX is relatively new to me. CUSTOM XML for tweaking charts is even more recent. I tried to get a goal line to work in a line chart as you described but I have had no success. I really require a target/goal/reference line in a vertical bar chart but getting it to work in a line chart would be a welcome first step.
    I have tried the following 2 samples of code without success:
    <objects>
    <line value='94' text='Target' text_position='right' color='0xFF3300' size='1' alpha='100'/>
    </objects>
    and
    <objects>
    <trend start_value='94' end_value='94' start_argument='' end_argument='' value='' color='0xFF3300' thickness='1' alpha='100'/>
    </objects>
    ==> in the following blocks of the CUSTOM XML:
    <chart .....</chart>
    <chart..<line_chart .....</line_chart>..</chart>
    <workspace> .. <chart_area .....</chart_area> ..</workspace>
    <workspace> .. <y_axis .....</y_axis> ..</workspace>
    <workspace> .. <grid> ..<values .....</values ..</grid> ..</workspace>
    <workspace> .. <grid> .....</grid> ..</workspace>
    Any idea where I am going wrong or what could be missing? Maybe I'm not putting the <objects> parameters in the correct place in the code?

  • Line Time Series Chart not working

    Hi All,
    I have one Line Time Series chart where on the X Axis i have taken one date and on Y axis one Sales Figure.Now on the Measure Lables i have taken on dimension as Customer.
    So the chart will give me something like trend which customer has how much sales figures daywise.
    Now the issue is that it shows the trend for one customer correct and shows the line but if i select second customer the graph doesnt show the line just dot for the second customer.
    Any help in this regard

    Thanks Vinod for the reply.
    Second customer doesnt have data on consecutive days but there is no pattern in that.He has data on 3rd,7th,8th,10th,15th day.
    But for all these days for the second customer dots are coming but not in the case for First Customer.

  • Any Way to Change Thickness of Connector Lines for all lines of a Chart?

    Post Author: ScottL
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Hi All,
    I am trying to change the thickness of a Chart's Connector Lines for all lines of a chart and cannot find a way to accomplish this. I can go into Report Preview and individually change the thickness one at a time, but what if I do not know how many lines I will have (as in a Line Chart) ? I can't find a way to do this through Crystal Reports XI.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Scott

    I think it's even easier to just match frame the "source file"... put your playhead on the clip you want to speed change in your sequence. Then type optioncmdf. Perform the speed change in the Viewer, then simply cut it in... Might help to put it up above the older, use the double arrow selection tool facing right to move the clips past this change later... pull the upper track speed changed clip down over the old, and viola.
    Gotta say though, it's a lot easier to perform the speed change in the Viewer, and edit it all in as you go rather than doing it after you've put the clip in a sequence. (not always possible to determine what the speed change should be maybe, but sure easier.... FCP 7 handles this problem a lot better for sure, and worth the upgrade price if your machine is compatible.

  • Need help in Line bar combo chart - line is not prominent in dashboard

    Hi All,
    I face an issue where the line in a line bar combo chart is not prominent in Dashbords.
    lets say i have 5 reports (all of them are line bar combo charts) in a dashboard. The lines in graph are not prominent or not displayed in usual thickness. But this scenario does not happen always. if i scroll down or up the browser(here i am using IE8) some of the reports displays line in the charts and some does not display the line. when i click on the report then the line will be displayed.
    please suggest whether this is a browser issue ror something to deal with OBIEE itself.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It's a bug in obiee11g. kindly download the patch file from My Oracle Support and delpoye it
    OBIEE 11g: Line Bar Combo , With Stacked Chart , The Bar Width Gets Affected [ID 1369493.1]
    Patch 12947990: BAR CHANGES WIDTH WHEN CHART CHANGED FROM DEFAULT LINE-BAR TO STACKED LINE-BAR
    Symptoms
    When the chart type is changed from Standard or Default line-bar to Stacked line-bar chart, the bars are reducing their width.
    Line-bar should keep the width of the previous bars.
    However, when vertical Bar is changed to stacked vertical, the bar width remains the
    same. But when a regular Line-Bar is changed to stacked vertical, the width
    changes (reduces, in this case it becomes half the original width)
    Cause
    For dual Y stacked bar graph, the bar width was half of the regular bar width
    because the series assigned to Y2 was given the half of the space also. This is not needed if the marker type for Y2 is not bar.
    The following bugs have been opened to handle this issue

    Hi
    There is another way also of doing same thing -
    1. First select 'Grid Lines' as Horizontal in the chart.
    2. Then set value range manual & give min & max values.
    3. Adjust interval size so as your 'Benchmark value' will come as one of the intervals.
    Earlier what i explained is visible only if there are more than 1 values on category axis for a given field.

  • How to plot line and bar chart in one graph

    i have one graph, but in this graph i want to plot line or bar chart using radio button selection.
    can i do that...

    You must have 2 data arrays or plots to get this. Make sure your plot legend is visible. Drag the plot legend vertical borders to view both plots. Select one of the plot to be bar plot (See the attachment)

  • Adding a plot to a Waveform Chart

    I have a waveform chart being used in an application.  In the
    sequence of events, I first create upper and lower limits to display on
    the chart based on a tolerance.  This means that I've set up the
    chart with two plots before the program begins, and I'm only showing 20
    seconds worth of data to the user at a time (the run may be up to 1200
    seconds).  When the user hits the run button, the tolerance limits
    are pulled from a file, then displayed on the waveform chart, and the
    chart begins at time 0.
    Once the program starts, I need to add a plot to the Waveform Chart
    that will visually show the user where they are in relation to the
    tolerances that have already been plotted.  This plot contains a
    frequency value read from a counter input.  My question is - how
    do I go about adding this plot to the waveform chart while keeping the
    upper and lower tolerances displayed on this chart?  I've looked
    through the property nodes, but can't find anything related to plotting
    the value in relation to time.
    I've attached a screenshot to provide some idea of what I'm trying to
    accomplish.  The upper Waveform chart shows the upper and lower
    tolerances.  The actual plot I want to add won't show up during
    the run, but once the run is complete, the user will be able to use the
    X Scrollbar to roll back and see the actual trace.  I am working
    now on an indicator that will provide an arrow to show the user where
    they are within the Waveform Chart.  The bottom graph shows the
    entire run of the trace, along with cursors, that provide the user with
    a point of reference during the test.
    Thanks for any help!

  • How to draw a straight  dotted line on Bar chart at 70%?

    Hi
    Could you please let me know how to draw a straight dotted line on BAR CHART at 70%?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    This may vary depending on what version of crystal you are using.
    Right click on the graph & go to 'chart options' & choose 'Grids'
    In the grids pane go to the grids tab.  From there check the 'draw custom line at' and specify where you want to draw the custom line.
    Once the line is drawn highlight the line, right click and go to 'chart options' & 'selected item'.
    select what format you want the line to look like (choose the dashed one).
    good luck!

    I checked the web site of JFreeChart and its document

    I dont really have the $ to purchase that software.
    It's a vendor product!Just to clarify, JFreeChart is free software, it is licensed under the GNU LGPL. You get the complete source code, including lots of demos, Javadoc HTML pages, an install document in PDF format, and access to the support forum for absolutely no charge.

  • Espn Goal line

    http://newscenter.verizon.com/press-releases/veriz​on/2010/verizon-and-the-disney-and.html
    In that press release it says that ESPN Goal Line is available to Extreme Hd and Ultimate HD customers at no additional cost. But I am getting a not subscribed message for the last 3 weeks. I called tech support and they said I should be getting the channel, but they don't understand why I'm getting that error message. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

    Which Extreme HD package do you have, the 2010 version or the 2009 version? As I understand it, that channel is only included in the 2010 version, which became available in mid-January 2010 and replaced the 2009 version for ordering. So if you got the Extreme HD package before that, you are out of luck (as am I, although I have to admit I don't really care about getting that channel).

    Just so we're clear, Verizon isn't dropping G4 - G4 is going away. It is no more. It's being converted into the Esquire Channel. It's not a matter of Verizon dropping one for the other. So before people start a million threads whining about "Why is Verizon dropping G4?!" I hope they know the facts.
