Chart Top 10 Items over Time

I'm attempting to create a chart that displays the top 10 of an item over time. The problem I'm having is that if I create a chart that is on change of the item first (with top 10) and time second, it gives me the top 10 items for each time slot. If I do on change of time first and item (with top 10) second it gives me the top 10 over the whole period but the time sorting gets all hosed up because it's grouping and sorting by item prior to time. I've tried all variations of swapping series groups, changing sorting order and sorting and nothing has worked. I can't find much guidance on this in my book either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-- Do the Group Sort expert or whatever you are using to get the values you would need for chart, might have to use multiple formulas for X, Y and Z axes...
--Join each axis value and make an array, use a Shared Array Variable and assign these values to variable
--Split this Array in your sub-report and make chart on the values you received from main report.
-- This will be much simpler and best way to approach creating chart(s)

SSRS Report for Incidents/Work Items Created or Closed over time

I'm curious if anyone has developed a custom report based off the DWDataMart that displays the count for creation of incidents or other work items over time or work items that are closed over time.

Hi Jon,

SSRS line chart showing premium change pct over time

Hi,
I have an SSRS report sitting over a cube. I'm building a Line chart to show premium change over time by producer (there are currently 6 producers). I have the Producer Name, Quarter/Year, and Premium amt.
I want to have the premium line trend based on the percentage of change from Quarter to Quarter. Quarter will be the X-Axis and percentage will be the Y axis. The premium for the first quarter should start at 100%. Each premium line for
the producer should then change up or down based on the change in premium per quarter. The end result should look something like this: Can this be done using SSRS?

Charting Over Time

I'd like to create a form that a person might submit several times over the course of a year. It doesn't appear there is an option in the summary report to create a chart over time (like a line chart tracking the values of an answer over several dates).
I realize I could export to Excel and create a chart, but my goal would be able to have a summary report for people who don't know how to create charts in Excel.
We use different forms for our Veterinary Practice. We'd like to create a form for clients who have pets in declining health or have a particular issue we are tracking. The client would go to the form, enter their last name and pets name (we can filter the reports easily that way), and then enter numeric rating values for things like "mobility" or "appetite." Over the course of days, weeks, or months, it would be great to see a chart that displays the change in values over time to notice downward or upward trends in health.
I know there are probably other ways to do this outside of FormsCentral, but I'm trying to keep things simple (especially for non-technical folks who may need to retrieve data).
Any other suggestions outside of FormsCentral would also be welcomed, but I'm wondering (from staff) if there are any plans to expand some of the summary reporting/charting capabilities?
Thanks,
Ryan

Currently the reporting ability you seek are not supported in Formscentral. As you have noted your best option is to do this work in something like Excel.

Using chart to track changes over time

Hi, I'm monitoring the progress of recovery from injury and need to analyse changes in grip strength over time. I would like to use a chart with grip strength on the Y axis and time along the X axis.
Unfortunately, the records were not taken at regular intervals, so the chart resulting from my data gives a misleading visual of progress. For example, my dates are sometimes one week apart, sometimes two, sometimes four.
Is there a way to get the time intervals to scale properly? That is, at the moment each date is at an equal point along the X axis, regardless of how long between the two dates (3 April, 14 April, 28 May and so on). What I want is for those dates to be separated along the X axis in equivalent proportions to their relationship in time (thus 3 April would be much closer to 14 April, than 14 April is to 28 May).
My only thought is to manually extrapolate the "missing" dates and guess the grip strength on those dates. Unfortunately this will defeat the purpose of the exercise. Any help most gratefully accepted, thank you!

An XY scatter plot (third from the bottom) will preserve proportions on both axes. Connect the points with (straight) lines for a broken line graph.
Regards,
Barry

Simple Line Chart - Values over time

A simple line chart displaying a set of values over time would seem to be a very easy report to design. I'll be darned if I can see how to design it. Can anyone shed some light?
I have provided links to a report and a spreadsheet which is the report datasource. My actual report will use SQL Server as its datasource. I am providing ths excel based example for the sake of protability.You will need to set the datasource location after saving the files to your hard drive.
I can get the lines to draw properly, what I cannot figure out is how to specify the datetime values for the x axis. The column I would like to use on the x-axis is called DerivedLoggingTime.
I'd also like to get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values. I am not always happy with the values that the log algorithm comes up with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Link to report|http://www.usol.com/~joe/linechart.rpt]
[Link to spreadsheet|http://www.usol.com/~joe/AnalysisResults.xls]
Another discovery while working on this report - our database will be SQL 2008 and we are making use of the datetime2 datatype. CR appears to be treating this datatype as text. So when working with the SQL based datasource, I had to cast datetime2 columns as datetime in order for CR to see the columns as datetime instead of text. This is fine in this instance because the granularity of the datetime values for this particular report does not require datetime2, but that will not always be the case. CR will need to recognize the new datatype.

Hi Joe,
The Date Axis Line Chart of the Numeric Axis Type Chart, can be used to display data on a regular interval of days, Months and Years. The information displayed can unfortunately not be more granular that days.
This type of chart is generally used when the data is recorded on irregular intervals in the database, and to make sense of the information stored it needs to be displayed at regular intervals.
Since the data stored in your data source seems to be stored every 4 minutes, it will not be necessary to use this type of chart. I will suggest to use the regular line chart instead.
To create a line chart using your date time field and value:
1. Select "Chart" under the menu "Insert"
2. Insert the chart on your report in the desired section.
    ( Group Header # 3 in your case. )
3. In the "Chart Expert" window, under the tab "Type",
    change the chart type to a line chart by selecting "Line" in
    the "Chart Type" list.
4. Under the tab "Data", add the database field that contains the Date Time information under the "On change of" list.
(In your case, add the "DerivedLoggingTime" database field)
5. To display the data for each minute, select the database fields you just added under the "On Change of" list, and
click on the button "Order". In the "Chart Sort Order" window,
select "For each minutes" in the "Section will be printed" drop down list, then click "OK"
6. Add the field you want to display the value in the "Show Value List", then click "OK"
Now it will display a line chart as desired, but since there is a lots of data point on your chart, the x axis date time labels will overlap each other. To avoid this situation, I will suggest to skip labels.
To format a chart to skip labels:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the x axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (X) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (X) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Layout", check the option "Skip Group Labels" and set the value to 15 for example.
Now, it will display the date time label at every 15 data point.
As for your question on how get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values, we unfortunately do not have much control over it other than:
- Entering static values, or
- Checking or Unchecking the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
The above options are available on the y axis. To change those options:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the y axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (Y) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (Y) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Scales", you will see the following options:
- Minimum Values
- Maximum Values
- Use Logarithmic scales
I will suggest to check the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
Finally, as for the issue you discovered where SQL Server 2008 data type DateTime2 is converted to a string in Crystal Reports 2008, it is important to note that SQL Server 2008 hasn't been released yet, therefore it has not been tested in Crystal Reports 2008. Once SQL Server 2008 is released, I will suggest to test it again using the ODBC driver provided with this new version.
At this point I am assuming that this is happening because it is a new data type and an unknown data type get converted to string.

How do I create graph showing savings over time?

Hey there, I'm trying to create a graph showing savings over time. I only have data for random months (they aren't spread apart evenly) So this chart isn't showing an accurate slope of savings over time. I tried entering months in between the months I have recorded and just leaving the savings amount blank but that deletes the curved slope on the graph. Is there a way and can show only these 7 recorded numbers but have them spread out on the graph to reflect the accurate time?
Thanks,
Caleb

The only way I can see of "stretching" the x-axis into a regular timeline would be to add extra rows for some of the intervening dates and then averaging the both the dates and the amounts from the row above and the row below:
You can then hide the rows that contain the averaged amounts.
When you create the chart you'll need to tick the "Hidden data" button under Chart Options:
After you've created the chart, you can edit the dates on the x-axis to remove any unwanted labels.
Hope this helps.

Charts Top Songs and Top Albums please help!

Hi,
Does anybody know exactly how the charts "top songs" and "top albums" are put together on itunes?
Are there differences from one country to the next?
Are multiple purchases of the same item from the same account counted in full for the charts? or is it the case that only the unique purchases for each account is counted in compiling the charts, excluding multiple purchases from the same account ?
If only unique purchases are counted for each account, what about gifts? at what points songs sent as gifts are counted in the charts?
please please help

Sites like the iTunes Store generally do not document how such listings are complied so as to prevent record companies and/or artists from "gaming" the system and working out ways to get their tracks listed higher. So other than guesswork, no one here can answer your questions. Sorry.

Audio performance deteriorating over time until Mavericks reinstall

I'm on the latest Mavericks, maxed-out 12-core Mac Pro. I use Steinberg Nuendo as my main audio DAW. It works like a dream... for a while... But after a few weeks it starts slowing down until Nuendo is almost unusable. Larger projects which normally run just fine become unworkable or very sluggish because they just overload the CPU, as if I was working with a 5 year old computer. This issue specifically targets audio performance, whether I use internal audio or my audio interface (UAD Apollo).
I've tried removing/uninstalling all non essential drivers, extensions etc, and reinstalled/updated everything I can't work without to the latest versions. I've tried unplugging everything except 1 monitor, keyboard, mouse and USB authorization sticks. Nothing makes a difference. It's like there's a virus that progressively slows down my system, but I have found no virus on my system, at least via MacKeeper.
Here is my temporary solution: Every few weeks I reinstall Mavericks (right now 10.9.3) via the Apple online recovery system (Command-R on startup). The problem goes away completely and my Mac Pro is blazing fast again... For a few weeks, until audio performance deteriorates and I have to reinstall Mavericks again. Apple tech support originally advised me to reinstall Mavericks on top of itself, and I was really happy the problem was fixed, but I didn't know it would keep sneaking in over and over again.
This is the third time I have to reinstall Mavericks via online Recovery, and I am still baffled as to what could possibly get worse over time in this manner, and also specifically target audio performance! It's like some sort of cache is getting filled-up somewhere and overloading some of the computer's functions over time. Whatever this is, it gets reset during a reinstall.
If anyone has any ideas or hunches, they would be really appreciated!
PS: I've posted the same issue in the "Mac Pro" section to make sure I get the most coverage. I don't expect too many answers since not too many people have the Mac Pro yet and this is a targeted inquiry.

Make sure you got all the parts and pieces.

Is there any advantage in using Vault over Time Machine?

Hi all,
Yesterday I imported around 6000+ pictures from iPhoto and consolidated them into my Aperture library. After much re-organisation into projects, folders etc. I decided to update my backup Vault to preserve all my hard work. The Vault is located on a connected external drive with plenty of spare storage. I had previously backed up successfully to the vault when there was only a few dozen pictures in my library.
After initiating the Vault update process I then left it to get on it (and to have dinner and then watch the football...) and after several hours was dismayed to find that the process appeared to be stuck at just over 50% completion. It was obvious that no further progress was being made.
I was also concerned that there appeared to be no mechanism to cancel the process and the only course of action I could take was to apply a Force Quit against Aperture - not something that I care to do, if I can possibly avoid it.
After a rudimentary search of this community I saw that several others had experienced the same problem - although some suggested that a fix had been applied in recent versions (although I am running the latest version).
Given this, I'm reluctant to use the Vault again - particularly as there appears to be no means of cancelling a stuck job. I do however use Time Machine, so my questions are:
1) Do I really need to use Vault if I have Time Machine making regular backups of my Aperture library to an external drive?
2) Does using Vault give any advantages over Time Machine?
3) Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the current version of Aperture (v3.3)?
4) Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
Thanks in anticipation,
Simon.

SImon,
Vault and Time Machine address different needs. Probably you will want to have both.
The advantage of Time Machine: incremental backups of previous versions, very compact storage. And you can integrate it into your regular backup of the whole system and include the regular masters as well. But the disadvantage: Time Machine decides for you, what will be deleted, if the backup drives get full. You do not have control over what will be saved and what not from the previous versions.
The advantage of vaults: You can make full backups of your library for well defined moments in time - snapshots of important states. I'd create a vault, whenever I make a major upgrade of the system at least.
Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
If the graphical user interface is unresponsive, like when updating a vault, you can use the Terminal to send the "termination signal" to Aperture: Sometimes this will succeed, even if the "Quit" button does not work:
Look for the Process ID of Aperture in the Activity Monitor (launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor" and click the CPU heading. This will bring Aperture close to the top of the list. Make a note of the PID number in the first column, in this case 66550.
Launch a Terminal window and enter the following command:
kill -TERM 66550 (insert Aperture's PID instead of 66550)
This will send the "Software Termination Signal - TERM to Aperture, the same as pressing the "Quit" button should do, but send it directly, and not from the GUI that is unresponsive. This way I always succeded in cancelling a vaul update without force quitting. Not all processes can be terminated this way, however. The Terminal.app is also in the Applications > Utilities folder.

Léonie

Custom workflow for Over Time

Hi All,
I have a requirement for Over time workflow. There is no standard workflow is there for this. FC asked me to develop a screen for over time in which Reporting manager will enter the employees overtime details, when he clicks on submit button it should go for approval to DGMs inbox. If DGM approves the OT then it go for Time office where they may change the OT data or they may approve the OT.
My issue is I have created the entire flow through modulepool. I have developed the screenand program etc.,. when RM submits I am triggering an event and then WF starts. Now when the DGM receives the workitem how can I display the second screen which are having the approval Rejection and Change buttons appears, how can I write the logic inside the BO Method to call the 2nd screen?.
Can anybody please guide me how to complte this WF.
Regards.
Srija.

Hi,
We also had the same requirement, we handled the same using Module Pool Programming and Workflow.
My Understanding: Imagine you need to call the Module Pool program to get approval for the OT.
Steps:
1. Place one work item in DGM's Inbox, when DGM double clicks the work item, write a method to call the same module pool in display or Change mode as per your requirement.
2. Now, in Step 1 use Import / Export Memory ID's.
In BOR Object Method, before doing CALL TRANSACTION <ZXYZ>. You need to Export one Memory ID say M1 with value "X"
In PAI of the appropriate module pool screen you need to IMPORT data from Memory ID into one variable say WS_M1.
3. Create two buttons on the screen keep them in invisible mode, (just check the property of the button element).
Now, write the code like IF WS_M1 equal to 'X', loop at screen, and make the two buttons visible, if control coming from workflow task, if there are more elements to control it is easy to use groups for screen elements.
4. Now, in PBO of the same screen, capture the ok_code of the Approve or Reject button, raise appropriate events, update data base.
5. Make sure your BOR method is asynchronous, other wise if the manager clicks cancel or F3 then task will disappear.
Pls let me know if you need more info.
Regards,
Mohan Vamsi

Slow Performance Over time, Drawing Access Forms

we've been using a small access database for almost a year now, written from scratch using only Access 2013
over time drawing of one of the forms slows right down, once the form is draw its fine, but if you switch to a different form at the top then switch back it draws slow, maybe 7-8 seconds compared to the usual 1 second, sometimes it can work all day no problem,
sometimes after an hour it starts drawing the form slow, the only way to cure it is to restart the machine.
Logging off and logging back on doesn't cure it, only restarting it, it does get restarted every night automatically as an attempt to help the problem
this happens on 2 machines, both have intel HD graphics, (previously one was using a NVidia GT 250 which had appalling performance in design mode (even with hardware acceleration disabled) so we switched to the on-board, although this issue happens
with both machines)
Back end gets compacted/and repaired every night on a schedule as I did notice a big slow down if you let that go a couple of weeks, I've decompiled/recompiled the front end, short of re-writing the form I'm not sure what to do, it does have a lot of controls,
around 30 textboxes 1 combo box + 20 or so labels and 4 buttons, one embedded report, it only happens on this one form, I have embedded reports in other forms which don't have the same issue and have the same number of controls.
I'm a bit of a loss, its not a huge issue, but just an annoyance, when I get time I'm tempted to try recreating the form from scratch, but there is a lot of VBA code behind it, before trying that just wondering if there are any suggestions to improve performance?
*edit* the form is loaded from a list of customers, so it gets opened closed a lot, I thought simply hiding the form instead of loading/unloading all the time would speed it up, it does slightly improve the speed after viewing the second lot of details,
however it suffers the safe fate of slowing down over time, it seems to be only drawing the form and not accessing the db

I think you would benefit from a code review by a strong Access developer. What you are describing is not normal and may be caused by systematic programming choices.
-Tom. Microsoft Access MVP
Just wondering, once this does happen going into design mode on any form is slow to draw, but only the one form at runtime once it starts happening.
the only visible difference apart from waiting is seeing the 'property sheet' on the right hand side gets visibly drawn left to right on any form once this happens, switch back to form view you see it get wiped out slowly, fade from left to right as it blanks
the form out
I had this 'slow' behaviour constantly with the NVidia card in one of our machines, even on new blank databases.
I'm not even sure if this is linked to the form I've made or not, its just the only reason I notice it is that it's frustrating to use.
Is this code review idea something that people volunteer to check or is it a paid service?

Will setting an object on top of the time capsule harm it?

If I place an object on the top of the time capsule will it harm it?

If you want to place something on top.. use a wire rack or something so they are spaced adequately.. usually the hottest device on top which is likely to be the TC.. stacking is never a good idea with networking equipment unless you use forced cooling.. unfortunately apple built the TC with a fan but it never actually turns on until the TC is about to go into melt down. So you would want an external fan, blowing over the stack.. this is all a standard equipment rack is.. but the devices in it are large and exhaust hot air to the sides or rear.
