Bubble chart in Xcelsius

Hi,
I am building a report which uses the below data
Region______Verticals________calyear____Revenue
APJ________Banking_________2007_____10
EmEA______Insurance________2008_____20
Central______Media___________CAGR____6.8
I need to have 3 filters for Region, Verticals and calyear
in the calyear filter I need to show only the values 2007 and 2008 but not CAGR
on this data I need to build a bubble chart where it takes Revenue values in x axis CAGR in Y axis ,intially the default value for revenue should be 2007 on the chart and in the filter
How do I need to arrange the data in excel for building this report
Please help me out

For the filter, you just need to exclude the row containing CAGR from the filter's source data.  However the data set you've provided is somewhat confusing since the value of CAGR under your "calyear" column does not actually represent a numerical year.  This might be an issue with the bubble chart since the bubble chart represents 3 dimensions that have to be numeric.
Perhaps you can use a line chart and have CAGR as the Y axis label.  Make the plot series appear as bubbles and remove the connecting lines in the appearance settings.

  • Xcelsius Bubble Chart - Drill Down Issues

    Hi ,
    Product : Xcelsius SP 3
    I have a bubble chat with 7 series. The chart is showing up bubbles with different size and colors as per the settings.
    The problem is with drill down
    I want to drill down to a X-Y chart when I click on bubbles. Each bubble click will drill down data into that X-Y chart as a pop up. I know how to do it as I have done it in the past with other components.
    But when I use drill down with bubble chart, I have to assign separate destination area for each series which makes it difficult to drill down into a chart. What i want is the bubbles to drill down data into a single row so that I can map the Y-axis of chart component to that row and X axis as fixed labels. But I am not able to do that. Moreover once inserted there is no way to clear the destination cells.
    However if I use data in range options in bubble chart then I can use drill down as I get only one series in that case. But that method also has limitations.
    1. I am not able to display series name on the bubbles. It doesn't make any sense to show bubbles without any labels.
    2. All bubbles are of same color.
    Is it possible to overcome above two limitations when using data in range option?
    Please help if someone has encountered this issue. There has to be some solution for this.
    Thanks,
    Tarun

    Hi Tarun,
    as a workaround you could define a special area as mapping area for the X-Y-chart.
    This area is filled via excel formulas from the bubble chart drill down destinations. You can concatenate the values from the drill down target areas, like "=A4&A5" etc. Make sure to clear all cells except the actual drill down target cells.
    Hope this helps,
    best regards

  • Is there a way to draw gridlines at a specific point on a bubble chart?

    I'm using Xcelsius 4.5 and (trying to) creating a bubble chart.  I am using static min/max values for the x and y axes, but rather than drawing the gridlines in 1 or 2 divisions (i.e. the midpoint), I want to draw a grid line (both x and y) at a specific point -- is there any way to designate this point in Xcelsius?

    I figured it out - I just adjusted my formula to draw the min/max such that my intersection is always the midpoint

    Hi Sirisha
    Although this is a Flex based chart on the website it is not an Xcelsius dashboard so this formatting cannot be done.

  • Bubble chart - labels?

    Hi,
    I'm a problem with the bubble chart. I need to display a specific label near every bubble. In excel It's possible with the data label function. I see that in the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 there is a "data label" selection in the Appearance - Text tab, but it allow to see only X/Y values, the series name or the bubble size....

    Hi,
    I am not sure if our approach suits to your requirements but we implemented a kind of legend below the bubble chart, showing the "technical" values of the bubbles (x-/y-position and bubble size) and some additional, more functional values like name and type of the corresponding real world object which is represented by the bubble.
    Our legend is dynamically filled via the drilldown-function of the bubble chart, i.e. when you move the mouse over one bubble all corresponding values of this bubble are displayed in the legend. BTW: These values remain in the legend until you move the mouse over another bubble, i.e. you don't have to keep the mouse over the bubble in question as long as you do not move it over another bubble.
    Hope this helps!

  • Bubble Chart with legend changes axis dimensions according to labels length

    I have a Bubble Chart with legend on the right. Data are by series and  the series are set  dynamically with a  drop down combo which replace the content of each series from time to time.  Every time the series changes, also the name of the series changes and the legend on the right  shows the new series names. The problem is that also the x axis dimension changes according to the new labels size, so the bubble chart changes its axis width in relation to the labels length in the legend. Is its possible to make somehow the bubble chart axis of a fixed lenght?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Matt,
    I just got a chance to try out your suggestions, and the
    chart that is right in the main application renders the labels
    fine, but the exact same code loaded in as a module doesn't. And it
    never does, not even if the scale changes. Do you know why that
    would be?

  • Linking Pie Chart & Table to Bubble Chart Values

    Hi All,
    I am new to Xcelsius and I have an issue with my drilldown.
    I have a Combo Box and choose Plants from this and my Bubble Chart updates according to the value in combo box.
    Now I want to hover over the 'bubble' and want a Pie Chart and Table to reflect the values from that bubble. The value in the Bubble is a total and I want the Pie Chart and Table to be splits of this total - eg. Total of 50 employees but want the Pie Chart and Table to reflect splits per team.
    I know the Destination Values from the Bubble Chart should be in the Pie Chart and the Drilldown should be enabled. However, the values that I want to show in the Pie Chart are different eg. Bubble Chart will say 50 but in the Pie Chart I want to see 5 segments of 10  - 50. ie. the Total of 50 split into the appropriate 5 teams. How do I create this linkage/drilldown where it takes the 50 and when I hover over this bubble, the Pie Chart shows the team split by looking up a different set of data. Have tried adding this into the drilldown area in the Pie Chart, where the source data is the split and the destination data is another area to pick up this data.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi Maddy,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My scenario is :
    In the Combo Box, you choose an Industry.
    From each industry there are 4 values.
    Industry      Employees     Int FTE     Ext FTE     Total FTE
    Education     5000          5     8     13
    Retail          40000          15     18     33 etc.
    When I choose Education from the Combo Box, in the Bubble Chart I want to see a bubble for Education at the point of 5000 (X-axis) and 13 (Y-axis). This works fine.
    I now want to hover over the Education u2018bubbleu2019 and the Pie Chart will show a split between Int FTE & Ext FTE u2013 ie. 5 & 8. I have added the relevant details to the drilldown and I still can't get this to work.
    Also by hovering over the bubble, I want a table to change too, that shows a breakdown of what teams the Int FTE & Ext FTE is made up from and how many employees are in each team. This data is picked up from a different destination and I not sure how we link this to the data above.
    Hope this helps.

  • Add Labels to Bubble Charts

    Hi all,
    is it somehow possible to add labels to bubbles in a bubble chart? I would like to see not only the values (X/Y) and the size but also the name.
    In Excel one can use a Makro or an add in. Is something comparable also possible in Xcelsius?
    Many thanks for brief answer!
    Best, Chris

    I am sorry to disappoint you: but yes, you have to make a new series for each point you want with a name on it...
    A project I am on has the same problem, I have had to define 80 series by hand. Note that after 50 series the adding of new series gets rather sluggish. Note that also need to define the bubble size, or the items will not appear.
    I have yet to figure out the way Xcelsius allows you to rapidly create "many" series by selecting an area ("By Range") and then manually setting up the series by picking the option "Rows". If you figure out how to do this, I am all ears.

  • Changing bubble chart to get a portfolio analysis?

    Hello,
    I am trying to get a portfolio analysis chart into XCelsius.
    For that I am trying a workaround via a bubble chart.
    My problem is that a usual portfolio chart has its own axis labels and does not have numerical values on its axis.
    e.g. the caption for "low" "medium" "high" as seen on this picture:
    http://www.1000ventures.com/design_elements/selfmade/strategy_formulation_ge_matrix_6x4.png
    Is there any possibility to set such axis label values inside the bubble chart?
    I would like to avoid setting extra labels because the dashboard user should be able to choose how many fields he wants.
    Thank you
    Edit: Another question about the bubble chart:
    When I increase the size of one bubble, it actually does not become bigger, but the other bubbles become smaller. I suggest it has something to do with the marker size set to the chart.
    Is there any way to get one buuble bigger without influencing other bubbles?

    "Is that my only option?"
    You asked:
    "How do I make the proper adjustment to get an accurately depicted pie chart?"
    Numbers will chart the information that you supply.
    If your spreadsheet supplies the negative values, and those values are sent to cells included in the group selected for the chart, then those values, ignoring the sign, will be included in the chart.
    If you don't want those values included in the chart, then 'the proper adjustment' is to not supply the chart with those values.
    You can do that using Badunit's formula, or this version:
    =IF(B<0,"",B)
    Different appearance on the table, but the same appearance on the chart as with BU's formula.

  • Limit on number of series in bubble charts?

    Hello all,
    I need to use a bubble chart in one of my visualizations (Xcelsius Engage 2008, Excel model only - no live connection), showing gross sales and margin for 13 categories series.  If I map the series(es) individually, then they all show on the legend, and the graph limits change as I use the list box selector to choose the particular customer, but no bubbles - or any indication of data points - show up on the graph.
    If, however, I choose to map to a range, I do see data points - but only for the first 6 of the 13 categories.  I've checked the cell range to ensure all 13 categories are included in the selection, and they are, but - again - only 6 show up, or get mapped to the "series" box.
    I've resized to cover more real estate, thinking perhaps Xcelsius just didn't want to display bubbles on a smallish graph field, but with no change in the display results.  I have a tree map linked to the exact same data, in the same location, and it works just fine.  But nobody likes the tree map; they want bubbles.
    Am I missing something, or is there a limit on the number of series a bubble chart is capable of displaying?
    Edited by: Jennifer Leppert on Aug 15, 2008 12:34 PM
    Two swfs showing the difference and the xlf are located at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9e4101c4b4a3cdc1d2db6fb9a8902bda.  Check under the "AEL" tab.

    Thank you for the response, Javier.  Unfortunately, it doesn't quite answer the problem.
    I have tried mapping the series individually.  While the interface will capture all of the label data, the graph itself does not show any data points when switching to preview mode, or exporting to another file type. (See "Manual Series.swf" at the link in my initial post for a visual).
    The X and Y axes are correct, and do adjust depending on the customer selected in the list box, but, again, no bubbles show up.  Is there something else I'm missing, or not doing correctly?  I have an evaluation copy - perhaps it is a limit in the eval copy that would disappear upon registration of a full license?

  • Portfolio (Bubble) Chart Capability

    Greetings,
    I am trying to create a bubble chart using WAD 3.5, the Portfolio chart type seems to be the most appropriate, but I can not figure out how to get the chart to show the metrics per my specification.
    X-Axis - Change in Days
    Y-Axis - Change in Value
    Z-Axis (Size) - Total Value
    Bubble Color - Region
    Individual Bubble - Opportunity
    The results should be a bubble chart with 4 different series, each series containing a datapoint representing an opportunity.
    The bubbles are sized based on the total value of the opportunity and are positioned in the chart based on the shift in days (x axis) and value (y axis) from a previous time period.
    The data is not a problem, I have a query with all the relevant characteristics and key figures.  The issue is getting the chart to properly chart these items.  The closest I can get is with:
    Row Fields: Region
    Column Fields: Opportunity, Key Figure Structure
    When I do this, I do get one 'series' for each region, but all the bubbles for each series get placed at the X-Axis value for the first opportunity.  Other attempts have resulted in creation of a series for each opportunity.
    Thanks.

    The frustrating part of this - is that the "Chart Wizard" view in Web App Designer shows exactly this scenario when previewing the Portfolio chart design - a few color-coded series, each containing multiple datapoints, with varying bubble sizes places on the chart based on key figures on the X and Y axes.  I can not figure out how to get any query to replicate this.

  • How to change the colors for individual bubbles in a bubble chart?

    I have a report where in a bubble chart needs to be shown with different colors for bubbles available in the chart. I cant find any option to select individual bubbles and format the color options.
    Any guidance or suggestions solving this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Thanks JB for your reply, I see in format chart data there is are two sections:
    1. Positional
    2. Conditional
    In Positional - I have the type and color changes for the bubbles but if I change any color in that all the bubbles are simultaneously getting the same color code.
    Not sure if there is any other setting. Please share me your thoughts on this.
    Thanks again

  • Bubble chart - problem with overlaying bubble

    Hi all,
    I have problem with bubble chart. Two bubbles are overlaying, that wouldn't be a problem, but one of this two bubbles is bigger and other is smaller. This smaller is beneath bigger. Why smaller is not on top of bigger? How to solve this?
    Thanks

    Hi Andrew,
    We have experienced similar problems, however they usually were with much larger models (10+ tabs, 10+ components in each).
    If you're using a lot of data or more intensive processes/components, that may have caused the problem to express earlier, though. 
    The best recommendation is to keep Tabset use shallow:  don't embed containers within containers, not too many components in a tab, not too many tabs.

  • Bubble Chart

    Hi!
    Is there any way to control the bubble size in a chart? I would like to make the bubbles smaller because they're too close. The actual size makes a bubble occupies a piece of another bubble.
    I have changed the value of bubblePercentSize in XML (Advanced tab), but it didn't change anything in my report.
    Thanks.

    translate the cartesian x/y coordinates to the canvas . . . When the chart graphs the point, it is set to the proper location unlike the behavior in BubbleChart.For some reason the bubble chart seems to require that the node you set for your data extends from Region. By default BubbleChart uses a StackPane to represent data points. If you just use a Shape like a Circle, it will not get it's layout adjusted correctly, but if you use (for instance a custom StackPane), it will at least end up in the right place. However, any custom nodes you set for the BubbleChart seemed to be squashed (e.g. they don't retain their original proportion) and I couldn't work out how to override that behaviour, which is why "I couldn't get it to work well".
    Effectively I have the BubbleChart I was looking for by using ScatterChart, go figureNice thinking outside the box. Happy you got your solution.
    Don't hesitate to log an issue at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/ (you can link back to this forum thread).
    I think others will likely run into the same issues as the chart package receives wider use.
