Chart missing Columns and Lines

I have created a Column Line Chart and allow the user to input different values that change formulas to produce the columns and line on the graph. I can see the graph perfectly fine with all columns and the line on the canvas view. Whenever I try to export to any file type, upon opening the file, all but two of the columns are missing and the line is missing in all spots except for at two points.
I've noticed that if I remove my formulas from my spreadsheet and just put in hard coded values in place of the formulas, the report populates correctly, but this takes away all functionality of allowing the user to adjust inputs, which is the entire reason we are using this software.
Please advise how I can fix this issue so that my chart shows all data.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan
This is common - this can happen due to possible reasons like
1) The data in preview mode on which the formula is applied is not same as the hard coded or the one in design mode. So when you go to preview its different view in the chart
2) Some other component is messing with the excel ranges you are using for formula for the chart - some components which can drop values as per their destination property.
This is how you need to test
- Add a test spreadsheet table component ( from selector category) and map all the cells that's included in the formula - the original range, the input values from the user interaction, and the final ranges with formula and the range to which chart is mapped to if different from the formula range.
- Preview the dashboard and see whats going on in those cells and if they all are behaving as expected.
- if the original data range and the input data are what you anticipate and not changed by any other variable you are not considering.
Use more than one spreadsheet table if the ranges I suggested are not contiguous.
Please try the above and post the updates.
Thanks

Problem in Combo chart columns and line

I select chart type is combo in my vc model and select data series is columns and line.
I define 5 series in the chart.
once i deployed the model the output shows the columns are overwrite in stacked position.
eg:
series 1: 10%
series 2: 20%
series 3: 45%
series 4: 25%
series 5 is line type
but in the chart the only one column will display,its top value 45% and itself shows 10% and 20% in different color.Don't show the 25% value on that column.
How to display the chart columns in clustered type in combo chart.
thanks in advance
Aravind.S

Hi
When you select 'Combo Chart' you will not get options for 'Stacked or Clustered'. By default it will be 'Stacked' chart only. Combo charts are generally used for less number of data series. Normally these charts are best suitable for 2 Data series only.
Still in your case is there any reason to use 'Combo Chart'? Consider following points -
1. If you want to use this type of chart then selction of 'Columns + Line' will be difficult because it will treat only 'Last Data Series' as line & all others will be columns & what you said problem will appear.
2. Instead of that select 'Column + Lines', so that only first 'Data series' will be column & rest all will be 'Lines'. So that you will get better visibility in that graph.
I think this will help you, If you have nay problem let me know.

Xcelsius Drill Down With Column and Line Chart

Hi Guys,
I am working on an Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard. I would like to integrate two charts, a column and a line chart. The column chart is supposed to show the results for each quarter. With a selector it changes the view and name of the different numbers.
Then I would like to enable the drill down so that I can see the results for the three months of the corresponding quarter in the line chart. Is that somehow possible? I am totally lost. Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,
You cannot integrate a column chart and line chart to make drill down possible. You could drill down a column chart to show the values in another chart bt that would be just two different charts and not an integrated one.

How can I create 25 charts on a page, each chart 2 columns and 10 rows

I need to create a chart that has 25 tables. 5 tables in 5 columns. Each table has 2 columns and 10 rows. I know it can fit all on 1 page as I have seen it done but I can not figure out how

I had some initial difficulty understanding your question. In Numbers, a "chart" is a graph.
You want to create a 5 x 5 array of tables, each with two columns and 10 rows, placed on a single page.
At the default size, each cell on a new Table is 1 inch wide and 0.2 inches high. So without displaying a title, each of your 25 charts would occupy a two inch square space.
Butted closely together, that's a space that is 10 inches wide by 10 inches high.
On a machine set to US localization,the default page size is US Letter, placed in Landscape orientation. Left, right and top margins are set to 0.75", bottom margin is 0.5", and there is a 0.25" height reserved for page header and page footer.
That leaves a working space that's 9.5" wide and 6.75" high.
Obviously, some adjustments will be needed.
0.2" is pretty much the minimum for row height. You can go smaller by typing in a smaller height in the Table Inspector, but even with 9 point type, you begin to lose the descenders on ps and qs. Go with 0.2, then use the slider in Print view to further shrink the content.
If you can narrow the columns significantly (to 0.75" or less), then go to Page setup and change to Portrait orientation.
In the Sheet Inspector, decrease all margins to 0.5", and the header and footer spaces to 0. Set page orientation to Portrait.
Now consider the Table(s). If you've opened a new, blank document, you'll have a multi column, multi row table with one header row and one header column. If you don't need the header row and header column, delete them (column A, Row 1) right away.
Reduce the number of rows to 10 and the number of columns to 2. Select the whole table and, in the Table inspector, set the row height to 0.16" and the row width to 0.73".
With the table still selected. press command-D four times to create four duplicate tables.
Go View > Show Rulers, then View > Show Print View. go back to the Table Inspector and use the slider to set Content Scale to about 94%.
Drag the still selected Table to the right margin of the page. Press command-A to Select All.
Go Arrange > Align > Top
Go Arrange > Distribute Space > Horizontal.
With all five tables still selected, press command-D to duplicate the set.
Hold down the Shift key and press the left arrow once, then the down arrow 14 times. This should bring the new row of tables into line with the previous ones, and move them down the page to just below the first row of tables. If fine adjustment is needed, use the arrow keys with the shift key released.
Repeat three more times to add another three rows of tables.
Adjust the spacing between tables as necessary.
Regards,
Barry

Combining Column and Line charts

I'm trying to put together a composite graph, consisting of
both LineSeries and Column Series, for a financial page. I'm
rendering the entire graph inside of a ColumnChart. However, when
multiple points for the lineseries are close together, the
mouse-over only displays a single dataTip. When working in a
LineChart, multiple dataTips are displayed for any points close
together or on top of each other; is there any (preferably simple!)
way to replicate that functionality in a ColumnChart?
Thanks!

And to make it even more fun, I just know discovered that
interpolateValues="false" does not seem to function properly within
a columnChart. Does anyone know a workaround for this
problem?

Missing words and lines in PDF

Platform/tools:
Windows XP Pro SP 2 or later
FrameMaker 7.2
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (part of CS3)
Adobe PDF print driver setting: High Quality Print, black and white (rather than color)
When I create a PDF from FrameMaker, my process is to print to a PS file, then distill separately to create the PDF. This all used to work fine, but recently, I have the following consistent problem:
Words and whole lines are missing. It seems as though they are near where I use an italic character format (which is an actual format I've created in FrameMaker, not the kind applied with Ctrl-i). However, that same character format never was a problem before, nor did I have missing text.
If I take the same files over to my older computer, with FrameMaker 7.1 and Acrobat 7, and print to a PS file and then distill, the PDF file is perfectly fine.
Perhaps somehow the Adobe PDF driver (and possibly other printer drivers) got corrupted? If so, how can I fix that? I dread thinking that I will have to uninstall and reinstall CS3, since, for some reason, the process of uninstalling takes many hours.
Or, is there another thing that causes this kind of problem?
Any help would be so appreciated!

Marina,

Removing shadows from charts (both column AND pie)

I can see there is a ShadowBoxItemRenderer (that I have no
idea from the help docs HOW to actaully implement to turn off
shadows) hoever - when/if this works - it only works on my column
chart? How can I turn off this nasty drop shadow beneath my pie
charts? Its very confusing.

Hi Tammy,
I didn't regard #2 as bug - in fact I thought it was helpful to be able to set the size to zero as a workaround to the problem outlined in #1.
Regarding #3, if this is by design, then I'd suggest that it's a poor design choice to have checkboxes next to both titles and subtitles, since this implies that they should be able to be separately controlled.
Something else I've noticed with this formatting area is that the position and offset controls are disabled, and there doesn't appear to be any way to use them. It would be very helpful to be able to use these to move the position of chart titles. In a dashboard I'm currently building, we have a large stack of charts sized very small, to attempt to resemble the 'sparkline' concept. But the chart titles are so high, it's not clear which chart they refer to (they look like they might refer to the chart above it). As a result, I've had to remove the chart titles and place independent labels over top of each chart to be able to position them closer to the chart's display area.

Missing column in the column chart - is it the selector's fault?

Hi folks, thanks for bearing with me here:
I'm working on fixing some issues on a dashboard that someone else has set up (and there's no way for me to reach that person). One of those issues is that one of the columns in a column chart does not display on the dashboard when exported. The column chart is pulling the data from the correct cells, so the problem doesn't seem to stem from there.
I thought I got to the bottom of it when going over the scorecard. The range used for its source data cuts off before it reaches the data for the column in the chart that doesn't show up in the exported dashboard. However, when I adjust the range for the source data the resulting exported dashboard turns out an entirely blank column chart (even weirder, changing the source data back doesn't seem to fix this; I had to simply start back from my prior save state to reverse the blank chart).
So am I even on the right track here? And if not, any ideas on what's keeping that column from showing up?

Thanks Ameet, I tried out the table as you said and the data for the column and the vertical progress bar were missing from there as well.
It turns out I was correct about the scorecard's source data being to blame, and that adjusting it to include the fields in the spreadsheet that correspond to the missing graphics was the right course of action, the problem was something with my computer; I sent the file to another computer and adjusted the source data there, and it worked fine.
It puzzles me why the edits wouldn't take on my computer (after being exported). The only thing is maybe I need a newer version of Flash, but I have 9.0 r45 which should be enough.

Urgent: Combination of stacked bar chart and line chart

Hi,
I have the following request: First I need series depending on the year (no problem) and two stacks for each series (first problem). Now I need two line, line 1 for total of stack 1 and line 2 for total of stack 2. Both lines should have a label showing the difference from one to next series in percent.
Can something like this be done in BI Publisher. I got an excel sheet with such a chart, so it is possible there. Any templates, hints or tipps?
I need this very urgent because it's the main report of my project. So if this is not working I can stop the project and have to find another reporting tool.
Thanks

I've made again some tests by myself and recognized that there's something strange in the chart.
When I create a stacked bar chart with values of DURATION, labels for TYPE_NAME and series of YEAR the first thing is, that it is not ordered. So how can this be done?
The second error, is hard to explain ...
Let's say I've the following values:
        Type1     Type2     Type3
2005    1            2             3
2006    4            5             6
2007    7            8             9I would expect the following chart:
2005     2006     2007
1             4          7            Type1
2             5          8            Type2
3             6          9            Type3But the chart shows me the following:
2005     2006     2007
1             7          4            Type1
5             2          8            Type2
3             6          9            Type3You can see, the values are totally mixed, the code of the chart is the following:
chart:
<Graph seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="BAR_VERT_STACK">
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<MarkerText visible="true" markerTextPlace="MTP_CENTER" />
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'YEAR'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'TYPE_NAME'))}">

</Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>

</Graph>Otherwise I had made the following to have a stacked bar for duration and one for outage:

<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'YEAR')) * 2}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'TYPE_NAME'))}">

</Graph>The only thing I miss is a label for each stack, what is shown (so duration or outage) and of course the line.

How do I build a model calendar page with three columns and two or three lines per day?

I am trying to build a Page that has three columns with lines in each column that will be numbered according to each month. Then each month I plan to type in the birth dates, anniversaries, special occasions of my family. There will be over 120 entries.Thus far when I take a blank page from Pages and begin to type in the event, it remove the underline I had put in. I imagine I should be able to build one model page and then replicate it as I go from month to month. Thus far I have been unsuccessful. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

You could use a Table to set up your information in Pages 5.2, unfortunately it has a bug that makes the table moire or less unusable after a few pages.
Contacts stores all your Address Book information. NJust add all the name, telephone number, address etc and there is an additional field for birthdays, anniversaries etc. Anything else you can put in the notes:
http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to-contac ts-on-os-x--mac-51751
Calendar lets you run separate sets of dates in a desktop calendar, which can include birthdays, anniversaries or any single or recurring events. Any names you use here will be cross referenced to Contacts.

Preview's PDF text select ignores columns and misses word spaces

I have a number of scanned pdf newspaper articles that I was attempting to copy the text from. Preview appears to register the existence of columns, as there is a pale blue background between the columns.
However when I use the text select tool, it completely ignores the column - and just selects across all columns. And when I paste the text into my text editor, it's missing all the spaces between the words, and the font size is always huge.
Conversely, Adobe reader in XP has no problem selecting by column, and the pasted text is also an exact replication of the original content. I don't know why Preview performs so badly in this regard? Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?

Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?
Yes, and not just recently.
There is a reason Preview is named, well, preview. It is not an authoring environment and PDFs are not meant to serve in that context either...unless maybe you understand all of inherent the font traps, tricks & tips and how to tune your scanning/OCR software to keep rework to a minimum.
Scanning PDFs is always tricky, and without the occasional heavy metal to bring to the task, it just seems to be that more problematic.
Keep trying, but I'd really suggest to look to other tools at this time.

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...

Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.

Please re-post if this is still an issue
