Bar Chart Sort Order

HI
I'm having a display/sort issue with Bar Charts and cannot find an option in the properties to fix it.
If I have the following in cells B2:C5 in a spreadsheet:
A   500
B   250
C   400
D   750
The Bar Chart will always displays the category labels in reverse order:
D   750
C   400
B   250
A   500
How can I get the Bar Chart to display the Y axis as it's sorted in my spreadsheet?
Thanks

Hi Tammy
I think you meant to say:
"Sorry I think this is by poor design"
Do you know if this will be address in future Service/Fix Packs?
Thanks

  • Stacked Bar Chart Descending order Based on Height

    I have a stacked bar chart and I want to order the bars based on height.  The tallest bar on the left.  Is there an easy and reliable way to doing this.  Also, I can concerned that I have two heights of the same value. 
    Thanks in advance.

    hi Eric,
    i am assuming that your stacked bar chart has more than 1 Show Value, correct?
    if so the following will work:
    1) create a new formula that adds up all of the different show values
    2) copy and paste your chart beside the existing chart so you don't inadvertently wreck it with the following steps
    3) in the new chart, using the Chart Expert add the new formula that is basically a sum of all of the show values
    4) you can use the Top N > All based on the new formula
    5) right click on the chart and then go to Chart Options, Axes, and then check Dual Axes
    6) you'll now get a Multi Axes tab...make sure that the new formula is alone in one of the columns
    7) you can go to the appearance tab and change the Overlap so that gaps are reduced
    8) you can now preview the report again, right click on the new series and change it to transparent

  • OBIEE: How to sort a bar chart by a measure not displayed in the chart?

    I have a table with OEM sales volume comparisons between two periods, current year and previous year. I have calculated a "VOLUME CHANGE" measure by subtracting last year's volume total column from this year's volume total column, and would like to display the resulting VOLUME CHANGE column in a horizontal bar chart.
    However, I want the bar chart sorted in descending order by the sales volume total column rather than the value of the calculated "VOLUME CHANGE" that is displayed.
    Can someone help me make this happen?
    In Answers I can make a bar chart sort according to any sort applied to a measure IF YOU INCLUDE THE SORTED MEASURE IN THE CHART, but I can't readily see how to do this if you wish to only include one measure in the chart but sort it by another measure from the same table.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well, we have some kind of disconnect.
    I see that the first value on the horizontal axis will supply the sort. The sort depends on the default, or whatever sort you have set on the column in the Criteria tab.
    But if I remove that measure from the chart, I lose the sort and it defaults back to sorting by BRAND, alphabetically.
    I can't see any options for hiding the measure in the chart itself and preserving the sort by the hidden measure. I know how to do that quite easily in Tableau, but I can't find it here. In the Criteria tab when I go to "column properties" the only option tabs I see are "Style", "Column Format", "Data Format", "Conditional Format" and "Interaction" and none of those offer any option for hiding the column.
    When you go to the results tab and then edit the layout of the resulting data table, you do get options to hide columns in the results table. But they still show up by default when you create a chart based on the table. From the editing options for the chart itself I see no option for hiding any of the measures, only the option to drop the measures down to the "Excluded" box, at which point they a cleared from the chart along with any associated sort settings.
    Is there any way to include a screen shot with the post?
    Can someone be more specific about where the menus and options are to make this happen?

  • 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.

  • Stacked Bar Chart with Multiple Series Sort Question

    Hi,
    Apex version 4.1.1
    I have a stacked bar chart with three separate series, one showing customer effort, another showing project effort and the third showing other effort, summarized by calendar week. The x-axis of the chart is the calendar "week of" date, and the y-axis has a bar for each of the three series. Not every type of effort occurs every week.
    When AnyChart renders the chart, the order of entries on the x-axis seems to be dependent both on which series are present in a given week as well as the "week of" date. Weeks with all three series sort in order by calendar date, followed by weeks where just the 2nd & 3rd series are present, followed by weeks where just the 3rd series is present. See this [url http://tinypic.com/r/b9zdt/6] picture of the chart  noting the "week of" dates. Note that the months go Sep-Oct-Nov-Aug-Oct.
    Is there a way to force AnyChart to sort the x-axis in chronological order regardless of whether there is data for all three series for a given week? I have looked through the AnyChart XML reference but cannot find a way to do this.
    Incidentally, I can solve the sorting problem by combining all three series into a single query:
    select
      null as link,
      week_of as label,
      sum(customer_effort) as "Customer Effort",
      sum(project_effort) as "Project Effort",
      sum(other_effort) as "Training, Admin and Other Effort"
    from ...But if I do this, I cannot figure out how to have each bar on a given week link to a different detail page, e.g., if I click on a bar representing customer effort I want to link to one page, but if I click on a bar representing project effort, I want to link to a different page. I have had a look at the [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:59:1570983160946101::NO:::] chart examples  posted on apex.oracle.com, but cannot figure out how to apply to multiple series in a single query.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks, Jeff. I did try this but for whatever reason it doesn't make a difference. I think it is because if there's no data for a given series for a certain week, there is no entry in the data set that is sent to AnyChart.
    I was able to get around the issue by "filling in" the missing weeks from each data series. To generate the list of "Week Of" dates for a given date range, I used this code:
    select
         trunc (each_day) as week_of,
         0 as effort
    from (
         select
              (to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 2 - to_char(to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format),'D') - 1) + level each_day
         from dual
         connect by level <= to_date(:p920_end_date,:app_date_format) - to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 1
    where
         to_char (each_day, 'D') = '2'This creates an effort entry of 0 for each week within the date range; I use the Monday date of a week as the "Week Of" date. I then union this with my actual data and summarize by week and viola, I get the weeks in order. This also has the benefit of showing a week for which there are no entries in any of the three series.
    Thanks for taking a look at this.
    Mike

  • Stacked Bar Chart Order

    I am doing a stacked bar chart and I needt to control the vertical order of the bars. It seems to be always sorting alphabetically by my descriptions. My descriptions are 'No Mastery','Pre-mastery' and 'Mastery'.
    I want:
    Mastery
    Pre-Mastery
    No Mastery
    It always shows as:
    No Mastery
    Mastery
    Pre-Mastery
    How can you control this?

    Thanks Srinivas,
    Thank you for your reply! that solution indeed changes the alphabetical sort, the problem is that the order is now fixed (i.e. "Mastery" is always number 1)
    I need them ordered by a particular column (for example total sales) I guess I can use ranks instead of fixed numbers (i.e. concatenating the calculated sales rank instead of always using "1" for "Mastery").

  • Stacked bar chart should not sort by values but by month

    Hello,
    I have a problem concerning a stacked bar chart (Apex 4.0 / Anychart). X-Axis contains Months and Y-Axis contains values. Values are splittet to 4 Values (a,b,c,d)
    But if there is no value for a in February the sequence will jump to march displaying march before February and February at the end of the chart.
    In every month some values are missing, so I am not able to sort for a specific value.
    Do you know how to solve this problem? Thx in advance

  • Sort Order for a Chart

    I am trying to set the order of a bar chart. On a previous post I found some info but it is not working for me. Can some one check the formula below and give me some pointers?
    Pulled another column with Sales Stage and added this:
    CASE {Sales Stage} WHEN "Intake" THEN 1
    WHEN "Assess & Align" THEN 2
    WHEN "Submit Work Plan" THEN 3
    WHEN "Facilitate Decision" THEN 4

    Try this:
    CASE {Sales Stage} WHEN "Intake" THEN 1
    WHEN "Assess & Align" THEN 2
    WHEN "Submit Work Plan" THEN 3
    WHEN "Facilitate Decision" THEN 4
    ELSE 0 END
    You may also need Intake and Assess & Align etc to be in single quotes not double quotes, I never remember which.

  • Stacked bar chart order issue

    I am definitely missing something here.
    I have a stacked flash bar chart which displays 3 types of counts per year_month. I cannot get the bars in the correct order.
    It's mostly correct except for 2 bonkers cases where it puts 2005_12 and 2006_01 to the right of
    2011_01 . I cannot figure out what causes this. There is a peculiarity involving those 2 year_months in that every other
    year_month had > 0 number of the first type of count except these 2 which solely had the second type of count.
    But how this translates into an order issue I have no idea. The query orders the data by year_month.
    Any ideas?
    the last part of the query is:
    select null LINK, (a.YEAR_MONTH) "LABEL", b.OVERNIGHTS,c.DAYTIMES,d.NAPS from
    year_months a, myovernights b, mydaytimes c, mynaps d
    where a.yearmonth < to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMM') and
    a.year_month = b.year_month(+) and
    a.year_month = c.year_month(+) and
    a.year_month = d.year_month(+) order by a.YEAR_MONTH
    year_months is a view with 2 fields:
    year_month varchar2(7) (yyyy_mm)
    yearmonth number(6) (yyyymm)
    and contains all the year_months from our time 0 up to 2020.

    yeah! I figured it out, based on reading this thread:
    Anychart, show empty diagram ?
    So stacking chart-ers, make sure to remember to use nvl in your query to return 0 instead of null!
    select null LINK, (a.YEAR_MONTH) "LABEL", nvl(b.OVERNIGHTS,0),nvl(c.DAYTIMES,0),nvl(d.NAPS,0) from
    year_months a, myovernights b, mydaytimes c, mynaps d
    where a.yearmonth < to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMM') and a.year_month = b.year_month(+) and
    a.year_month = c.year_month(+) and
    a.year_month = d.year_month(+) order by a.YEARMONTH
    duh, I knew it would be something elementary! Having said that though I don't think it should be the case that
    the order departs from the order in the query. It would be better to change this behavior or at least warn people
    that it happens.

  • Different sort order with line chart and stacked column chart

    Hi,
    I have a problem with sorting within flash charts.
    The chart should be ordered by a date column.
    If I'm using a line chart everything is fine. The columns in the chart are in the same order as returned by the query.
    If I change the chart type to stacked column chart, I get a wrong order.
    It is orderd like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4.
    What's wrong?
    Here the query i use:
    SELECT NULL AS link,
    TO_CHAR (zeitpunkt, 'dd.mm.yyyy'),
    MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06E', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06E",

    SQL> desc db_performance_temp
    Name Null? Typ
    ZEITPUNKT DATE
    DB_SID VARCHAR2(30)
    VALUE NUMBER

    I found the solution.
    Anychart seems to have a problem with null values!
    The corrupted sorting only occured for a specific set of search criteria and a specific day. At this day some values have been null.
    I added a "nvl( [...], 0) for every value.
    No I get a correct sort order.

  • Crystal Report Version 11.5.8.826 - Color Sorting - Stacked Bar Chart Issue

    Hi All,

    Is there any way to sort the color on stacked bar chart?
    Please advise, thank you.
    Regards, Sumardi

    hi,
    You can right click on each bar individually,
    Format Series Riser -> Fill -> Foreground Color.
    This will apply the required colors.
    Also, if you have any color standards, try to create  a sample report with this kind of Chart and specify the colors individually.
    Right Click the chart -> Save as Template.
    In future, if any other reports have Stacked Bar Chart with same color standards, you can directly re-use this template.

    Connect the OUT port of dataservice to IN port of SORT operator. This SORT operator is available in Compose > Operators.Configure the SORT operator , select the column on which you want to sort. Then the output of SORT operator should be connected to the IN port of CHART.
    This should give you the desired result.

  • Help required in order to produce a bar chart

    Hello
    As I'm not really fluent with English, I tell you that detailed explanations are given in the Help in a chapter entitled: "About Charts"
    As values must be in a header to be used as labels
    and
    as a header can’t be used to display values defined by a formula,
    it’s necessary to use an auxiliary table in a mixed way.
    I assumes that we have a table containing most of our datas. I name it « main »
    I use an auxiliary table named « 4chart ». In this table the column A is a header one.
    As it can’t display formulas, the year values are typed here
    A1 2007
    A4 2010
    In the main table, the block of cells we want to chart is C3 :D6
    In C3 enter a formula grabbing the value of aux table’s A1
    C3 =4chart :: A1
    fill down until C6
    In D3 thru D6 I enter the values.
    Back to the auxiliary table.
    enter the formula
    B1 =main :: D3
    fill down from D3
    thru D6
