Charts: fixed series formatting

Hi there,
following scenario:
I use a column chart in order to display 12 months rolling values (ACT, BUD, PY).
Initially only one column (ACT) is shown per month.
I have got three checkboxes (ACT (always checked), BUD, PY) that allow the user to display additional values per month.
A query with three key figures (ACT, BUS, PY) in rows serves as datasources. In the properties of the chart "ACT" is selected initially.
Using the checkboxes a script adds the additional values by using "setDataSelection".
Now my problem:
I need to have fixed series formatting with regard to colors. That means ACT should always be blue, BUD red and PY grey. Independent from selected checkboxes.
If the user checks in the following order ACT - BUD - PY everything works fine. If he e. g. then unchecks "BUD", PY appears red and not grey.
It would be great if anybody has a hint.
Thanks a lot in advance
Mark

Hi Mark,
I am not sure if this is possible directly, since a lot of Flexibility is there in the Chart component(in terms of changing the type dynamically, settind data selection etc.) the chart is built in such a way that the Data series colour is based on the no. of series and not the Series name
If this is a complete necessary specification, then you have a workaround,
If ACT is always shown, then create two charts
1) Create a chart with 1st series as Blue, 2nd as Red, and third as Grey.
2) Create a chart with 1st series as Blue, and 2nd Series Grey,
Scenario 1: ACT & BUD: Chart 1
Scenario 2: ACT & BUD & PY: Chart 1
Scenario 3: ACT & PY: Chart 2
If even ACT is controlled by Checkboxes, things will be a bit more complicated.

Fazith Ali Z.

How to change the bar chart rendering image format in SSRS

Hello all,
I am working with SQL Server 2008 R2 and I have a SSRS bar chart report, when the report got rendered over online or if the take Export (PDF and PPT), the image is in png format always, which is taking too much of time to execute the report in case of large
data.
Can, It be possible that the rendered image is in jpeg format instead of png.
If Yes, please share the appropriate steps to follow:
Thanks in advance
Pankaj Kumar Yadav-

Hi Pankaj067,
According to your description, you want to change the bar chart rendering image format as JPEG format when previewing the report or exporting to a PDF file .
In Reporting Services, the chart rendering image format is PNG by default. It’s a by-design behavior. And it doesn’t open any API for us to change the image type when exporting a chart to a format. So in your scenario, your requirement can’t be achieved
in Reporting Services currently. I would recommend you submit a feature request to Microsoft at this site:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer. So that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Dealing with Fixed Length formats both at sender and receiver side

Hi all,
I have file -- File with fixed lenght formats.
Source system will generate a text file with fixed lenght and target also needs the same file with same format.
Then we have an idea to implement the interface with out IR Development .this is fine upto now.
But now the problem is we are receiving more fields from source than we require for target process. we are not using at receiver side.
So receiving system needs only few required fields from the source file.
From soucre
Ex: Source.... DocNum   Invoice No   Bill date   Bill amount vendor code
We require at target
Ex: Target.....   DocNum Bill Date Vendor code
Please suggest me
Regards

Hi,
>>The source file content conversion is simple...In the target when you specify the target field names just leave out the ones you dont need...
from source we wil read all the fields, this is fine and in the target how to mention the field positions
Here all fields will come into picture, we cant mention the positions at receiver
Source side Ex: Docnum    InvoiceNo     Billdate     Bill Amt     Vendor
Fixed lenghts are 10            20               10             10            20
Target Expects Ex: Docnum   BillDate Vendor
                              10            10          20
in receiver side if you mention fixed lenghts like 10 10 20 means it may read docnum, Invoiceno, BillDate
It wont ignore InvoiceNo field in this case

Option to read fixed-length format, EXCEL or ASCII TAB delimited

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement for giving an option to read fixed-length format, EXCEL or ASCII TAB delimited in the selection screen.Kindly help me how can i read the fixed length format?
Thanks,
Ankita

As far as I could have understood your problem
You have to read the file with
Open dataset 'file path+name' FOR INPUT in text mode encoding default.
and move its contents to string type variable
Transfer to 'file path+name' to v_string.
Now as per your requirements you need to use Offsets to transfer the data into a work area.
For example
wa_task-year= v_string(4).
wa_task-month= v_string+4(2).
Please confirm if this is your requirement.

How to export data in fixed lengh format

I want to take data in 4 tables, and export the data to a fixed lenght flat file format. Then have that file sent to an email address. How can I do this?

Suzie,
I never used Toad ;-) But I always use the Oracle SQL Developer instead (which is for free by the way).
SQL Developer gets installed with every 11g database installation but you could install it also to your 9.2 or 10.x environment - just grab it from otn.oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
(will take two minutes to install). Then you'd just define your connection to your target database, go into REPORTS (left side) and define a USER DEFINED REPORT. That's pretty easy because for instance you'd just say 'select * from scott.emp;' - once the report gets executed just move your mouse over one of the rows, hit the right mouse buttom and choose the last entry: EXPORT DATA - you'll have the options of TEXT, CSV, SQL LOADER FORMAT, INSERT, XML, HTML and XLS ;-)
Another possibility within SQL*Plus would be using the column format options (the font of this webpage scrambles the output columns but in SQL*Plus you'll get everything formated in a fixed length format:
column "info" format A11
column "P1" format 99999
column "P2" format 99999
column "P3" format 99999
SELECT Info " ", P1, P2, P3
FROM tr_PortfolioSummary
ORDER BY SortOrder
P1 P2 P3
Nb Bonds 10 40 40
Nb Warrants 20 50 50
Nb Shares 30 60 60
Kind regards

Powershell Excel Chart - change series colors

I have a Powershell script that reads values from an Excel sheet and then creates a chart based on the values. The script works but I want to change the colors of the series in the bar chart. In VB (using an Excel macro) the code is as follows:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(7).Select
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(17, 17, 17)
.Solid
End With
Based on what I read Powershell doesn't process RGB colors so I tried using one of the default colors:
$wb.ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(5).Format.Fill.ForeColor = "black"
Whatever variation on this I try seems to make no difference to the color of the bar chart series values. Is it even possible to change the colors with Powershell?

Hi,
Based on my research, the below code should be used to change chart forecolor, please give it a try:
$chart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 255
More details please go through the below link:

SignalExpress 2010 - Chart time axis format will not change to floating point or anything else

I just downloaded and installed the new and shiny SignalExpress 2010 to replace the old version. And immediately run into major problems:
The x-axis time format refuses to change to floating point or scientific even if I choose them from chart properties. The format is always absolute, e.g. 12:23:54.743. This makes the usage of the chart and the whole application impossible! Is this a known issue and is it going to be fixed soon? And where can I get the old version of the SignalExpress (2009) so I can install it again?

Here is a screenshot of the problem:

Chart - Reading series value but not from data point

Hi All,
I have a single line series on my chart, values on Y axis,
hours along X. I have values for each hour of the day for 24 hours,
e.g. 25 data points.
First value is say 200 at 0000 UTC
Next value is say 300 at 0100 UTC
Next value is say 900 at 0200 UTC
etc. etc.
Now I have this chart loaded, on screen etc. How would I then
find out what the value of the series is when the time (X axis) is
0130 UTC, or 0115 UTC etc. etc.
I.e. I want to be able to say at any time on the X axis, give
me the Y value of the line on chart.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers
Ian

I wouldn't go reading some external app's (proprietary-format) config file - you're just setting yourself up for a fragile app if that other app ever changes the layout of that file.

AnyGantt APEX chart wrong Time Format

I'm trying to create an anyGantt chart within APEX but the XML keeps misconverting the time section of date. Thus, where an activity should start on 05-11-2012 15:16:17 (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS), it actually starts on 05-11-2012 12:11:00. It seems to take the Year as the Hour and the Month as Minutes, but assigns nothing to the minutes. The Year is also random, it's either 0, 1, 12, or 13.
So say I have this Record:
ID___________NAME______________DATE_START_____________________DATE_END_____________________________DRIVERID
2____________Driving_____________21-9-2012 12:04:40_______________22-9-2012 13:05:50______________________228And complete this statement:
SELECT null link,
t.driverid resource_id,
TRIM(r.lastname) || ', ' || r.firstname resource_name,
NULL parent_id,
t.date_start actual_start,
t.date_end actual_end
FROM "user"."gantt" t, "user"."drivers" r
WHERE r.driverid = t.driveridThe Gantt chart translates this activity to:
RESOURCE_NAME______RESOURCE_ID_______________ACTUAL_START______________ACTUAL_END
Sleeman,_Bob_________228________________________21-9-2012 *01:09:00*___________22-9-2012 *01:09:00*Thus giving me a wrong gantt chart, as these records would overlap, and start at the wrong time.
The XML settings are as following:
<settings>
________<title_enabled="False"_/>
<outer_margin_left="0"_top="0"_right="0"_bottom="0"_/>
____<background>
__________<fill_type="Solid"_color="0xFFFFFF"_/>

__________<time><![CDATA[%HH.%mm.%ss]]></time>
________</format>
_____</date_time_format>
____</locale>
_</settings>I know the default format for the 24-hour notation in Oracle is "HH24" and the minute notation is "mi" and not "mm", but the notation in AnyGantt says minutes are %mm (lowercase) and months are %MM. The notation in anyGantt is different from the Oracle-notation. Who can explain this problem, and better, solve it?

Hi Rik,
Thanks for providing the login credentials to your example. I hope you don't mind but I've created a second Gantt chart on the page, to illustrate how to display the time component for the tasks on the chart.
In order to represent the time component on your charts, you need to use TIMESTAMP columns in your chart query. If you run your existing query from the chart in SQL Workshop, you'll see that the results only return the date component, and do not include the time. In order to retrieve the time component, you would need to use the TO_CHAR function on your DATE columns, which you have done for your report on the same page. Given that the chart query syntax must either reference DATE or TIMESTAMP columns, you therefore need to use the TO_TIMESTAMP function in this situation to ensure that you're capturing the date and time. I've got an example on my sample application, here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:83.
So to get the chart displaying the correct information, I did the following:
1) Updated the chart series query to use TO_TIMESTAMP on your DATE columns
2) Updated the Application Timestamp Format via the Edit Application Properties page, changing it from DS to DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM, otherwise your timestamp values would still not display the time component.
Let me know if you've any further questions. I hope this helps.

Hilary

SSRS show trend chart over column chart per series groups

Need help in designing following report in SSRS, where I have a chart report with 2 category grouping fields and 1 series group field (as with category grouping, the reason being, i need to show columns in group of 4 joined together based on their grouping
on top) .
Below are my queries
1. how to show my category grouping values on top of chart (showing group in different color) and series grouping values on bottom of chart (under each bar)
2. I need to show trend line over each series group data.
For example, First category group is over hotel name, second category group is over room type (deluxe, executive & suite) and one Series group over week number (for a month report), and the chart value is total occupancy (per hotel per room type per week
number). Now for point 1, Hotel name and room type needs to be on top of the column (total occupancy) chart, where a week iteration number (1,2,3,4 for a month) at the bottom of the chart under every column.
And for point 2, I need to show trend line per room per week occupancy was improved or not.
Regards, Sujay

Hi Sujay,
According to your description, you want to display the two category group values at the top of the total occupancy value. Also you want to create a trend line over series values.
For your first requirement, you can specify the Label data as a combination of two category group values and total occupancy values. Then change the location of series group value legend. Please refer to below screenshot.
For your second requirement, you can add additional total occupancy values to the Chart Data panel, then change the chart type as Smooth Line.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Problem with mouse-over value on a column chart (by Series)

Hi.
First of all thanks for any offered tip.
I am having a problem with a column chart.
When I move the mouse over a column it should show a small pop-up (or tip) with the column name (series name) and the value (series value). The problem is that it displays an extra '1' just like the following:
SeriesName
1
X.XXX
How can I remove the extra '1' and only show the name and the value ?
The data is populated by series (manually added).
Mihai.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip Shanthakumar KA.
Yes. It looks like the '1' is coming from the X Axis labels. The chart that I have built does not require any labels on the X Axis, so this was not set (X-Axis labels: Empty). I tried setting this to an empty cell, but the '1' still appears in the mouse-over tip.
It is very weird. If I leave the X-Axis labels empty, I still get the '1' displayed which is very annoing.
Are there any solutions for this except the re-building the tip with a label a.k.a. '[customize the mouse over values|http://xcelsiusandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/xm-sample-7-customizing-mouse-over.html].'
