Chart Formatting Question: Line Bar Combo

Hello -
I have a quick question regarding the order of labels displayed in the legend on a line bar combo chart. I have figured out how to rearrange the order of bars in the chart (the order is determined by the order of fields in the criteria section), however, OBIEE seems to always put the "line" field before the "bar" fields in the legend.
I was wondering if there is a way to set the chart to display the "line" field following the "bar" fields in the legend?
Thanks for the help!
Jason

Hi Jason,
Go for Pivot Chart rather than Chart... and
Apply Order by s as you want inside pivot....
Previously even i got the order by problem in chart.. but trying the pivot chart, i resolved my issue...
So give a try..
Hope you know about pivot chart. Select Chart Only option from drop-down available for chart position
Thanks & Regards

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

Line bar combo with logarithmic scale

hi, I found that
logarithmic scale is not supported for line bar combo.
I have checked the checkbox "Use logarithmic scale" under "Tick Marks & Scale Type" under "Axis Scaling" for the left axis.
but the charts (both checked and unchecked) are the same, there is no difference.
And it is unable to check the checkbox "Use logarithmic scale" for the right axis.
is it the limitation ?

Problem with Pivot Table with Graph: Line Bar Combo

Hello people!
I have a problem with pivot table and line bar combo (all in the same view (pivot table))
I have some measures and one dimension in my report.
--------------measure1---measure2---measure3
Dim A.1
Dim A.2
Dim A.3
If I choose my graph line bar combo automatically choose "line" measure 3 (last measure in "Show Controls"). How can I do if I want my measure1 for line and I don't want modify my pivot table?
Thank you very much!

Ok, I'll explain my problem again. In my pivot table I add graph vision and I want in the same view (Pivot table). My graph is "Line Bar Combo" and I don't know how but the last of my measures belongs to right AXIS, if I change order of my measures I can see in my graph the measure that I want in my right axis BUT also it changes the order of my pivot table.
This is my problem. I think that I can do that with different views but I lose my selector view to view graphic and my pivot table at the same time.

Hi,
I am currently working on to show data for 2 years (which will be selected through prompt), month on month basis in Line-Bar Combo Graph.
I could achieve to show 2 years of data month on month basis in Bar Diagram, but the same is not happening for Line diagram.
In Line Diagram, values for 2 years are joined and shown as a single line, where as I want to see 2 separate lines for the years selected.
Kindly have a look at the link below:

Any suggestions?

Controlling lines vs bars in a line-bar combo chart

I created a pivot view with 3 measures, and then selected the line bar chart type.
The first 2 measures show up as bars. The 3rd shows as a line on secondary (right hand dise) axis.
Is there any way to make the 2nd measure also appear as a line on the secondary axis, instead of a bar on the primary axis?

Line-Bar issue on 11g is not a bug. It’s part of the upgrade - Stacked line-bar graphs in which 2 or more measures are shown as lines on the same axis and are not stacked in 10g are stacked in 11g.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e16452/apndx_ui_chngs.htm
I have not found the workaround yet. If you find it please post on the blog.

Line Bar Combo chart with Bar-stack in OBIEE

Hi,
I want to create a Line Bar chart with only the Bar as stacked elements.
The bars should be on the Y1 axis and the Lines on the Y2 axis. Different scale on Y1 and Y2.
If I try this in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 answers, all elements (Bars and Lines) will be stacked.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for response.

Same columns multiple time in Line - Bar Combo Graph

Hi,
i am trying to generate a Line-Bar Graph, where I will have 2 measures "Capacity" & "Utilization Rate" in both Line as well as Bar Format.
I tried taking theses two columns twice in my criteria and then designing it but it does not show properly (as per the scale) sometime when the scale is modified the Line Graph vanishes.
Kindly Suggest.

I've tried using the Position parameter in the example posted above but nothing I try will allow me move the data label centered in the bar versus sitting on top outside of the bar. Any ideas? It seems strange not to have an option of positioning the data labels.

Financial Reports - chart formatting questions

1) Is it possible to display the legend label names horizontally? The default lists them vertically and I don't see an option to change this.
2) Is it possible to display axis numeric data labels with a decimal place?
3) Is there any way to have axis start at minimum value of data (as in Excel) vs. 0?
4) If data for a given month is 0, the line chart datapoint drops down to the bottom of the chart...is there any way to have it just cut off instead of showing the drop (tried putting a blank space in suppression labels but this did not work...)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We are at version 9.3.1:
We have a solution that involves editing the Report export file (.DES extension, the file is in XML format) – in other words a File > Export of the report and open the file in a text editor. The change essentially hard codes the number of decimal places in the chart legend. Since it looks like we have both Ratios (Gross margin %) and Financial Accounts (Gross margin) that could appear in the Chart, we probably don’t want two decimal places for all charts, the solution I added is for one decimal place only.
To make the edit:
1. open the DES file in a text editor. Search on <CHARTOBJECT , this should take you to the CHARTOBJECT section.
2. then search on OBJECT_WIDTH. There are OBJECT_WIDTH parameters for objects other than charts, that is why we start at the Chart section first.
3. Add the following parameter after OBJECT_WIDTH: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f')"
4. There should be a space before the parameter, separating it from OBJECT_WIDTH, and a space after it separating it from the following parameter.
5. Note: the %8.1f is surrounded by single quotes.
6. Repeat the process for all other charts, search for the next <CHARTOBJECT and so on.
To have 2 fixed decimal places, use the following: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%f')"

Area chart with line graph combo - Is this possible to create?

Can you create an area chart and line chart combo? The line bar combo chart doesn't capture what I want.

hi,

Hi Stijn,
Thanks for your response.

Line-Bar Chart with multiple straight lines

Experts,
I have a requirement where in I have to show multiple straight lines on the Line-Bar Chart. For example if we have a graph of County Names(X) vs Population Count(Y). The bars represent the population in each county. And three straight lines across bars should represent avg. population of all counties, region and state respectively. Is it can be done ? if not line-bar any other graph ? Please let me know your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Tom
Edited by: Tom Lype on Feb 23, 2012 8:58 AM

Hi Tom,
I am afraid that the example that you have mentioned is possible in Line-Bar combo or any other graph. What you are asking for is 1 measure against three dimensions is not possible. How can you represent Country, Region and State on X axis on the same graph???

Rituraj Kumar

Combo chart - different colors for Bar/Line

Hi,
In a combo chart is it possible to have different colors for bar and lines......................In our report- combo charts the intersection of bar/line is NOT visible beacuse of same color.

Yes, I create a formula row with a zero in the first column. The row should be hiden. This has to be at the top of the grid and include the row in your data ranges for the chart.

Web I line chart formatting

hi all, I am trying all my best for webI line chart formatting but I don't see much options, quick question is there any button or tool box for formatting WebI line chart except properties tab???
and my requirement is, usually when i turn table to line chart by default X-axis will be lower side and Y-axis will start from left end of X-axis and stand perpendicular to it. But what I need is X-axis should remain same but Y-axis should start from right end of x-axis.
In short and clear Point of intersection of X and Y axis is left end of x-axis but I need point of intersection should be right end of X-axis line. are there any formatting tips???

Hi,
Follow the below steps.
1) Create a dummy measure variable with name ' (Comma) and formula value is =0. (Variable name is ' because if you put any other name that will come in the Legend and its a dummy objects)
2)Select the bar and line graph and put the dummy variable in the Y axis and Y axis value in the Z axis.
3) After that no value will show in the Y axis and your Z axis value show the line graph.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

Crank
