Charts and Date Axis

After looking at the API for JavaFX charts, it looks kind of similar to JFreeChart. Are charts based on JFreeChart code? If so, why isn't the DateAxis class included?

As for the lack of a DateAxis, I think there is an RFE for it, it just didn't get done.

SSAS2008 r2 and Excel Line Chart and Date Axis

Hi
Excel 2010. SSAS 2008 R2
I have a excel line chart made out from SSAS pivot table with a date dimension (date) and No of licences.
Currently, it displays 1/Jun/2014 to 30/Jun/2015 (FY2015) and this looks really ugly.
While keeping the details, I'd like to display by Month-Year.
However, while I can do this with other normal excel data, I just can not do it with SSAS Pivot table.
Under Axis options, I ticked 'Date axis' but it won't bring up date options.
I think I tried everything but just can not figure it out. I wonder if it is even possible.
Th date dimension is recognised as date because I can apply date filter. I want to make it neat. Can anyone help me with this please?
It must be 'Date' Level.
Kind regards

Hi SQLMa,
Could you please elaborate more detail regarding the "Date" dimension structure? In order to display the date format with Month-Year, we should build a hierarchy to organize the granularity of date dimension at SSAS level. Please
refer to the documents below:

Hi,
I have a query section. In one of the cell, I have a chart. I have the data in other columns on the side of the chart. When I execute the report designer, I get the chart and the then the data below on the side. When I create a pdf, the data moves up to the side of the chart. I want the web view look like the pdf view where the data is on the side of the chart. Is it possible? Why is the web view and the pdf view different?

Exporting charts (chart and data behind it)

Hi there,
Im new to Flex and Air but I have come here because Im looking into a way to export a chart from an application we have to excel. At the moment we are able to export the data behind the chart but not the chart itself.
I have come to two ways of doing this:
a) keep the existing export options and then use a VBA macro lib to create charts or (and this is where you come in)
b) export a excel 2007 xmlx file.
if you are not familiar with this its a new format of excel that is defined by XML script that are in a variaty of folders that are then zipped.
My idea is to have a standard 'template' that Flex (Air?) can ammend the chart.xml in the xmlx and the sheet1.xmlx and the zip and rename the file.
So what i need to figure out is if and how to get Flex (Air?) to export a zip file
any help would be great!
Thanks
Michael

There are various ways to export the chart as an image.

Importing PowerPoint charts and data entry

Hi
I am relatively new to captivate 5.5 and need to find out how to bring a PowerPoint web chart(similar to a pie chart) into captivate with the data series entry table. I want users to do in captivate what they can do in PowerPoint to create a chart. Do I have to create a link into PowerPoint. If so, how?
Jeff

No Jeff, do not think that will work.
Why not do an automatic capture (Project Recording) with Captivate while doing the actions in Powerpoint? You can choose for demonstration, training simulation (that is what you will need) or assessment training. It is even possible to have the three files at once.

Business Graphics in WebDynpro - bundle chart and data sheet

Hi experts,
I have a simple chart with stacked columns in a WD4A application.
At the bottom of the chart I'd like to display the values of each column.
I know that it works in ABAP reports (CL_CU_DATA_SHEET).
Does anybody know how to do the same in a WebDynpro?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Parry,
thank you very much for your answer!
I cheked all examples in WDR_TEST_EVENTS but couldn't find any that fits.
The class <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/70/8fa0375b5dd003e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm">cl_cu_data_sheet</a> does exactly what I need, but only with SAP GUI.
I still hope that it will be possible to do the same in a WebDynpro.

Line chart and vertical line repeats according period

Hej,
I have line chart and horizontal axis displays many months, thus is possible to vertical line from horizontal axis be displayed after years period and be color diferent?? My example, start displays January 2007,......finish December2007->DISPLAY VERTICAL LINE as LONG TICK, start January2008....and so on... is possible to set such repeater for line chart...thank for response.

Hi 1234alex,
According to your description, you want to create a non-vertical target line in top of bar chart to show different target.
In Reporting Services, it’s impossible to create a non-vertical target line in top of bar chart. Because StripLines can only return a vertical target line even we put expression to make it dynamically . In this scenario, we can show the target line as values
and use switch() function to specify different values based on different category. Then we just need to change the chart type for that series only. However, it only support horizontal line chart type in Reporting Services, so we suggest you use column chart
instead of bar chart. Please refer to detail steps below:
1. On Chart Data region, set an expression looks like:
     =switch(Fields!month.value=”A”,”4”,
     Fields!month.value=”B”,”8”,
     Fields!month.value=”C”,”2”,
     Fields!month.value=”D”,”5”)
2. Right click expression in Chart Data region, choose Change Chart type, select a line chart.
3. Click Preview, the results look like:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSRS 2008: how to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis when no data available

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2008, I generated one chart in report designer with the data from Analysis Services (Cube).
According to the dataset, there is no data returned when I run the query. so when I preview the chart, there is nothing but "no data available" showing on the chart.
Here I want to know is there any possible to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis?
If it is possible, can you tell me how can I make it?
Best Regards.
Connie Zhu

Hi,
When there is no data, the chart displays the message "no data available". But using a little work around, you can display an empty chart.
Please find the below steps given to achieve this
1. Create a new dataset using TSQL to return 1 row of data having the category field and value field set to 0. Add the fields that are necessary for the category fields, series fields and datafields.
   A simple example would be like
   SELECT 'abc' as Category, 0 as Amount
2. Add a new chart, set the category field to 'Category' and set the data field to Amount from above dataset created in step 1.
3. In the new chart, right click the category axis and select axis properties, Click on the labels tab, check on
'Hide axis labels' and then click ok
4. Now set the Visibility property of both the charts depending on the rows returned from your main dataset
   a. click on your main chart and set its Hidden property to :
=iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),false,true)
   b. click on the new blank chart added and set its Hidden proprety to (the opposite) :
=iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),true,false)
   Note : Please change the dataset name in above expression "MainDataset" to the name of your chart's dataset
5. Resize the new chart to the same size as your main chart, then position the new chart on the place as the main chart.
   (Note : You can set the position of new chart to be same by copying the location property from the main chart)
6. Now run and observe the result. When there are no rows returned by your main dataset, the new chart (the blank chart) should be displayed.
I've added a working sample of this kind of a report
here.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss if you have any questions.

Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

Hi all,
i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
i am using CR XI R2 Server.
Thanks
Padmanaban V

i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Padmanaban V

SSRS Bar Chart grouping date series into Months, setting scaler start and end ranges

I've been trying to solve this issue for a few days now without writing a sql script to create a "blank" for all of missing data points so that I get a bar for each month. I have date series (by day) data points grouped by two items
that creates a set of bar charts. EG: one chart per product in the tablix detail grouped to site level.
My issue is I would like the start and end of the charts to be the same for all charts and the only way I get it to work is with a chart that continues to show each date on the chart.
EG:
I have the graph start and end points set and scaling by month as I would like but each bar is a day instead of aggregating to a month level. My issue I hope to find a workaround for is if I go to Category Groups and define the grouping
to group with a year and month function the series is no longer treated as date data and I cannot control scaling. It works fine if all months have activity, but I can't figure out how to always have all charts start at "May 2012" in this example.
The only start and end point that I've been able to get to work once doing this are integer based, eg normal start would be 1 for each graph, but 1 doesn't equate to the same month from chart to chart.
I hope SSRS can provide the solution. I do know I can write a query that creates a ZERO value for each month/product/site but I don't want to leave the client with a query like that to support.
-cybertosis

Hi cybertosis,
If I understand correctly, you want to display all month category label in the X-Axis. You have configure the Scalar Axis, however, it cannot display the requirement format.
In your case, if we want the specific data format, we can configure Number property to set the corresponding Category data format. Please refer to the following steps:
Right click the X-Axis, select Horizontal Axis Properties.
Click Number in the left pane. Click Date option in the Category dialog box.
Then, select Jan 2000 option.
Please refer to the following screenshot below:
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

How to show two different plots with current system time and date on waveform chart

I am using one waveform chart to display the more than one value continiously. The data are comming properly but i am not getting my system (pc) time and date on x axis. It is showing default date and time (i.e.01/01/1904 5:30:45). Please give me suggestions to display the real time and date on x axis of waveform chart.

How does your data look like? Do you graph waveform data types, dynamic data, or plain arrays/clustes? In the case of plain arrays, you need to set x0 to the absolute start time of your data, e.g. with a property node.
I you would attach your code (or an image) we could offer more specific advice. There are too many possibilities.

X-Axis Scales and Dates Issue

Hello, really hoping that someone can help me.
I have a crystal reports report with a chart. The chart uses dates as the x-axis and numeric values on the y-axis.
All I want to do is change the x-axis sacle to be 14 day intervals.
Seems simple enough. I go into group(x) axis options, click the scales tab and try to chage the values (after unticking auto scale). Crystal will not let me change it to be 14 days, and it ignores the remove autoscale. It just constantly sets it back to autoscale everytime.
I tried the exact same thing but with numbers on the x-axis, and it worked fine, no problem at all with setting the scale to whatever I wanted. But when the x-axis is dates, it doesn't work.
I have been on for 3 whole weeks trying to find a solution to this.
If anybody can help me I would be very grateful
Thank you

Charts data axis scaling problem

Post Author: rameshp
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi ,
I work on crystal reports XI.
I'm facing problem regarding scaling data axis. I have illustrated that in the following lines:
case1) if i have high values (sum of bytes) like more than 600 etc. its scaling data axis from 0 to say 1000.
case 2) if i have low values like 0,1 (bytes) then its scaling from -4 to say 6 .
I don't want negative values on data axis . I want from 0 to max. So what's the better way to do this using chart expert.
Your suggestion is highly appreciated !
Thanks,
Ramesh.

satwar,
There is no "trick", we're just victims of the limitation that WebI has in portraying XYZ type charts to our better liking. I submitted a request to Business Objects Tech Support in Oct 2006 and became the proud holder of two ADAPTs:
ADAPT00676587 u2013 for the scaling issueADAPT00676609 u2013 for the stacked bar chart, line graph issue
When fully implemented, the scaling for Y and Z should be able to correspond to each other. For instance, max value of Y and max value of Z will set on both scales the same max value. I don't discourage you from submitting a trouble-ticket, perhaps if they get more noise on this situation they'll resolve my (our) ADPAT sooner, but just hoping....

Date axis and trendlines

Post Author: srmalloy
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have a report that shows a number of aggregated data values with drill-down, with subreports that display month-by-month data at that drill-down level that include line charts showing several of the values, each of which has a trendline. The problem is that the horizontal axis displays the month values as 'monthnumber/year', i.e., '10/2006'. I can force the axis labels into a more readable format by going into Chart Options to the Axes tab and selecting 'Show Time Scale' under 'Show Group Axes', then clicking on one of the axis labels, selecting 'Format Axis Labels', and picking the 'Feb-02' format. I can also do this by going to the Chart Expert, selecting Numeric Axis as the type with 'Date axis line chart' as the subtype, then doing the same 'Format Axis Labels' change.The problem is that, when I do this, the trendlines become brain-dead, turning into a horizontal line across the chart well away from the actual data line. Is there some way to get the data axis labels to show in the 'mmm-yy' format while still having trendlines function properly? The main report has a dynamic parameter to allow the viewer to select which fiscal year of data they want to view, so hard-coding the axis labels as specific strings is not a viable option.

I'm sorry. Perhaps I wasn't clear. I am interested in having a graph that looks like yours (numbers on Y and dates on X), but I want to display the equation (y= Ax+B) of the trendline. R^2 seems to work fine with an axis with date values, but if I try to display the equation I get the text "Equation couldn't be calculated because one or both axes have data values." on my graph instead of the equation. KOENIG Yvan's solution is helpful in that it allows me to have an equation, but as far as I can see, I lose my date axis (X just becomes 1, 2, 3,... instead of 1/1, 1/2, 1/3...). I am hoping there is a more elegant solution than placing the two graphs on top of one another.
Also, is there a way to find the trendline for only a few points of a series without making a new series of those few points?
Thank you!
