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.

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 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?
Xcelsius 2008, SP4, Windows XP
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?

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.

I need to make an assumption to answer your question: I need to assume that you are getting your data with a query similar to:
select DoW, Part, sum(qty) as Count
from sales
group by DoW, Part
Change that to...
select DoW, Part, sum(qty) as Count
from sales
group by DoW, Part
UNION ALL
select distinct "Target" as DoW, Part, 50 as Count
from sales
That will feed the target into the cross tab, which will create an additional column, Target, with the value 50 for all parts. If the target is for the day, not part, then you would UNION
select distinct DoW, "Target" as Part, 50 as Count
from sales
which would give you an additional row with the constant target value of 50.
HTH,
Carl
P.S., There might be (probably is) better tables to use as the FROM table for the target SELECT. I wanted to keep things simple...

Color of bubbles in bubbles chart

Hello,
I am using a WebI bubble chart, where each bubble represents a company (company dimension used as shapes) and two measures the coordinates. I created a formula to cluster my customers into A, B and C customers and want to color my A companies red, B blue and C green.
I used the Cluster-dimension as "chart color" objects in the bubbles chart and used a custom color scheme to get the right colors for A, B and C.
Unfortunately for some reason it happens sometimes that WebI mixes up the colors, like A becomes blue instead of red and so on. I don't know exactly how to reproduce that problem, but is there a way to assign the colors to my dimension values?
thanks

Hi Badri ,
i tried your senario in my system . initial i got the same colour for both profit and loss in the pie chart .
then i change some properties in the Edit customising option iand i get the desier result you want .
let me share that steps with you . wit screen shot

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.

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?

Hi Moshin,
The message indicates that your capacity analysis (resource based) is out of range. It might be due to your planning horizon and granularity settings or to the project start and finish dates in the portfolio properties:
Also what are the start and finish dates of your projects? They cannot be out of the range : 1984 - 2049.
Hope this helps,

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: missing exception colors, mousover text etc.

Hi,
I have some problems with a bubble chart. The definition of the query is like this:
project status sfactor rfactor budget
1--1---30-100--
30
2--2---10---15--
30
3--1---234--
45
4--3---50---10-----140
Project and status are characteristics, the other objects are key figures. A project has a status. There are 6 stati. Based on the status the bubble in the bubble chart shall have a specific color. So I set an exception for each status level. I use a BW 3.1 SP19.
Based on this query I create a bubble chart in web. I have now the following problems:
1.The bubble chart shows only 3 different colors (red, yellow, green) and not these colors that are also used in the BEx query. In BW3.5 more colors are displayed. Is there any restriction in 3.1?
2.In case of mouseover (over the bubble of the last project see above) the text "project 4: 140" is displayed. Is it possible to display also the description and value of the status, sfactor and rfactor?
3.I configured the chart options in such a way, that rfactor and sfactor shall be displayed above the bubble. But this works not for all buubles. Any explanation for that?
4.If I restrict the displayed bubbles only to one status level (by means of a dropdownbox), then the displayed bubble is bigger than before. I fixed x- and y-axis. So why do I get now an other size for the selected status level. Any chance to avoid this?
5. The chart legend still shows the original bubble colors, so not the exception colors. Is it possible to force the legend to show the correct colors?
I would be very grateful for any help.
BR, Andreas
