Chart Web Part - Stacked Column Chart and the Y Field

I am trying to create a stacked chart in Sharepoint.
I am encountering a problem at the "Bind Chart to Data" Step. Retrieval of Data goes without a hitch - all rows and columns are captured and shown, but then when it comes to adding series, the "Y Field" drop down menu only shows one of
my columns. So of course, the final chart only has one data series visible - a normal column chart instead of a stacked one.
What could be the cause of this, and how do I fix it?

Yes, that's right. That is exactly what I want to do.
But, the problem I'm facing is that when it comes time to select the second series settings as:
The second Series settings:
Series Name: Oranges
Series Type: StackedColumn
Series X-Axis Type: Primary
Series Y-Axis Type: Primary
X Field: Day
Specifically >>>>Y Field: Oranges
The Y-field option which appears as
a drop-down menu on the page, does NOT show the option "Oranges". It shows only "Apples" again, and also a blank setting (selecting this also does not cause desired graph to get created).
I want to know HOW to be able to select "Oranges" as the Y-field because I am unable to do so!

Chart web part - lookup columns corrupted

Hello,
I am using the chart web part, and if I reference the lookup column, which is last names, it posts both the last names and the number, such as:
42; #LASTNAME
How do I not have it display that number, semicolon and #?
Thanks,

Lookup field contains both title and ID, and to get title only, you need to use Look
var lookupItemValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["lookupfield"].ToString());
value = lookupItemValue.LookupValue;
or you can use substring function to fetch value after semicolon (;)

Error in Creating a Chart Web Part Connected to a List-Column named "" already belongs to this DataTable

Hi,
I am trying to create a Chart Web Part that is connected to a list.
I inserted a Chart Web Part on the page.
In Step 1, I chose, Connect to a List.
In Step 2, I chose the List, "QPAPForm"
After I connect to the list (QPAPForm), and I get to step 3 to Retrieve and Filter Data, I have the following error message: "Please correct the following: A column named "Update Policy Tasks" already belongs to this Data Table.
"Update Policy Tasks" is a Workflow used on this list (QPAPForm), but it is not a column value per se.
How do I correct this issue?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi,
I have done a test, and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I created a custom list and an approval workflow which generated an column in the custom list. Then created a Chart Web Part which was connected to the custom list, I didn’t meet any error.
Let’s verify the following:
What template is your List template? what columns does the list has?
What kind of workflow has generated the “Update Policy Tasks” column?
I suggest you re-create the list without workflow and do a test, compare the results.

Lines and shading on stacked column chart

I have created a waterfall chart using a stacked column chart. I have made Series 1 white so that the bars appear to "float" . So far so good. the issue is that the white bars in the default setting have light shading and lines around the outsides. There seems ot be no way to turn that off. The only solution I found was to change the Theme to ITheme. Then the shading and lines go away and I can change the colours how I want them...but of course that theme is now applied to my whole dashboard and I lose all the nice shading effects on the other elements.
Surely all the themes do is apply formatting that must be possible to do manually...I just cant see any option on a stacked column chart to change the shading or lines round the boxes. I have an example chart I can share if required
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks
Tom

Creating a custom chart is not a simple thing (think days, not minutes), and not done within Xcelsius. The group of technologies to do this are referred to as the Xcelsius SDK, there is a dedicated forum on this site here: Flex SDK Development

Different sort order with line chart and stacked column chart

Hi,
I have a problem with sorting within flash charts.
The chart should be ordered by a date column.
If I'm using a line chart everything is fine. The columns in the chart are in the same order as returned by the query.
If I change the chart type to stacked column chart, I get a wrong order.
It is orderd like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4.
What's wrong?
Here the query i use:
SELECT NULL AS link,
TO_CHAR (zeitpunkt, 'dd.mm.yyyy'),
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06E', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06E",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06T",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI14S', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI14S",

I found the solution.
Anychart seems to have a problem with null values!
The corrupted sorting only occured for a specific set of search criteria and a specific day. At this day some values have been null.
I added a "nvl( [...], 0) for every value.
No I get a correct sort order.

In-Depth Chart Web Part References

I have look at the available chart web part online manuals such as the one below and but it does not provide in-depth answers about the various chart options or how best to use web charts part.
I would appreciate the title of a publication that really explains the web chart part and how to construct charts. I thought it would allow building charts like in XL but not so. The help below is one-dimensional forcing one to play and play with the part
to attempt divine how it works. Thanks.

Add Total to Stacked Column Chart on the top and another important thing is the data are from SharePoint site

the same with the following description from another question:
"How can I display a total on top of each column on a stacked column chart (using
reporting services 2008)? If I use Data Labels I can display the
values for each part of the stack on a stacked column, but I want to be display the total.
For Example: If I have stacked column on chart with a value of 10 for the 1st stack, 20 for the 2nd stack,
and 20 again for the 3rd stack - I want to display 50 (the SUM total) as the data label on top of the entire column..."
and a solution for this would create a new column named SUM(category group), this can be done with data source from SQL server, but my data is from SharePoint site list. its query seems can't be changed which means I can't add a SUM column.
what should I do with this? Can anyone give me a hand?
thank you very much.

Hi sophiexu,
If we want to display a total for each column on the top of a stacked chart, we can use a matrix control to display the column total value to work around this issue.
The following thread about how to simulate chart legend is for your reference:

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

This is one of those things that I find really strange about Numbers 3. The control for what you want to do is not where anyone would expect to find it.
Select the Chart
Click on Edit Data References
Look at the bottom left corner of the Numbers window. It should say "Plot Columns as Series" or "Plot Rows as Series"
Click on it and change it to the other

Stacked Column Chart (Total and Combination Chart)

Hi,
I tried to find the answer at old posting, but failed to find proper solution.
So here I go again with the same old problems:
1. Any method / trick to display total on top of each stacked column ?
    (Label is not an option, since it is static and will not move following the height of the stacked bar).
2. Any method / trick to combine stacked column chart with line chart ?
    (Overlay is not an option, because I think it is too tedious to play around with color and border)
Thanks for the bandwidth.
Regards.
NB: Are there any XCelcius add-on for those 2 functions ?

Hi Yudie,
Can you get compromised in the following way ?
In the X Axis labels, you can get the values concatenated dynamically and displayed. Example given below:
2008          2009          2010
P180         P250         P280
A172        A263         A265
Whereas P denotes to Plan and A denodes Actuals. Above to this labels stacked colum wil be there as usual.
Consider and revert, in case you need any more clarification on this.
Keep posting.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

Dsiplay data values and data lables in a stacked column chart

Hi All
Is there a way to display data values and data labels in a stacked column chart. Mouse over or display of labels in legends wont help. It has to be in the chart .
Regards,
anshul

Hi Anshul,
You can display either data value or data label in a stacked column chart by checking the Data Label Displaying Mode option under Format Chart->Data Values.
You can also do the same by checking the same option under Format chart->Area Display->Data Values.
I dont think you would be able to display both in a column chart whereas you would be able to do it in a pie chart.
Hope this helps.

Hi Srinivas,
I'm using label based menu "filterd rows" only but i couldn't bind the drill down with the 1st stacked column chart.
for mor details:
1) i'm having 2 stacked coumn charts & 1 lebel based menu but eventhough i couldn't able to achieve.
if i select the lebel based values then the 2nd stacked column charts is giving detailed valus but if i keep my mouse on the 1st stacked column chart the there is no changes on the 2nd chart..
somewhere i'm mising the binding data between 1st stacked coumn chart & lebel based menu on drill down part.
Becoz i'm having multiple rows. so can you please try your and send me the xlf file using your concept.

Xcelsius - Stacked Column Chart - Overall value / Result

Hi *,
does somebody knows how I can display the overall value of my columns in a stacked column chart?
Or is there a workauround to do this?
Thanks and regards,
Markus

Yes, it would absolutely be nice if they provided this option for the stacked charts.
Couple of other options-
Create a bar chart that graphs the totals as one series. Specify that it should show the data values, adjusting an offset so the totals appear to the end/top of the bar, Place the totals chart behind your stacked bar chart. obvioulsy the cahrts have to align precisely.
Another option - concatenate the total amount so it appears as part of teh axis label. This works better for some scnarios than others.
See this video example to get an idea of how this might work.
http://everythingxcelsius.com/2009/06/show-chart-values-without-hovering.html
With SP3, if there are only a few series in your chart, another option you can play with is adding an additional series for each series in your chart. Have a very small value that won't register visually on the chart e.g. .001, and then assign category labels for each series that is total value for a series, and choose to display the lables. Hard ot explain this one well, I 'll see if I can put togeter a simple example. This gets ugly quickly.
I'd love to hear ideas from others.

SP2010: Different colors for chart bars in Chart Web part with single data series?

Hello,
I've been asked to create a chart for visual display and summary of Status values within a SharePoint list of job positions. The list of positions includes a Status field with the only values being Open and Closed. I created a page that shows the list, and
at the top I inserted a Chart Web part that displays two bars - one showing the number of Open positions and one showing the Closed positions. Because I was having difficulty getting the totals for each Status value to show up in the chart, I followed
the instructions at
http://highbrowse.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/chart-counts-from-sharepoint-lists/ and pointed my chart at the new "Status values" list - this worked well to display the sum counts for each of the two Status values in separate bars.
This was all fine and good, except that because I am only using one data series for my chart, both of the bars (for Open and Closed) show up as the same color. I've been asked to make them different colors but cannot figure out how to do so. Can someone
provide guidance on how I could make the two bars different colors? Thank you so much.
cheers

Hello,
as far as I know, the chart web part does not have any settings to change the color of individual data points or plot data points of a series in different colors. If you only have two values in the series, you could use a pie chart instead of the column
or bar chart. In a pie chart, the different slices have different colors.
cheers, teylyn

Help Creating Dynamic Stacked Column Chart with Multiple Criteria

Hi all. Im new here and hoping you can help. I have a dashboard Im trying to rebuild from scratch (our computer had a meltdown and we lost all our files). I did not build the dashboard initially so Im trying to recreate it from the flash file we were able to recover. I have come across a chart that I just cannot figure out how to do. I can figure out how to write an array in the Excel sheet that pulls the data into a table the way I need it to be but found out after I wrote that that Xcelcius doesn't support arrays so all my data disappears when I go into preview mode (which is especially frustrating since I can see the chart working fine in design mode). Anyway this is what the data table looks like
Month         Year            Company      Positive #          Negative #         Neutral #          Positive %       Negative %      Neutral %

The original chart was built so that you would choose the month from a combo box and then the company names would show up along the X axis with their % amounts shown in the stacked column. I know how to make a combo box work and I know how to make a stacked column chart work with static data. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work so that when you choose the month from the combo box it filters the data. I've tried filtered rows but I'm just missing some information that makes it work and I can't figure out what that information is. It has to be able to get the month/year combo from the combo box and then go to the table, filter it by month and year and then create a multi-row table of data with just the company and the percent values. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which connection you are using?
IF quite difficult if you are working under static data.

Stacked Column Chart with Lines

Requirement:
User stacked Column chart to display data for defects for 4 departments.
1 or 2 lines to show baseline for defects(constant).
Is there anyway that I can do that just like we can create one in Excel?
(stack a Stacked column chart with a line chart is not a solution.)
Any advises?
Thanks,
Wen

Hi Wen,
I realise that you are not going to get this to work with a standard component on its own. I think it might be possible to acheive it with overlaying barcharts and combination charts.
My assumption is that you are looking for something that has a stack with 3 separate items in it. Two target lines crossing over the stacked chart.
I will have a look at this to see if I can come up with something. Let me know if this is not your requirement.
No, I don't work for SAP. I think those that do have the SAP logo beside them.
Regards
Alan
