Charts - Selecting Data Source

Hi,
Can anyone help, I am combining a pivot table with a chart. I dont wish for all the items to be displayed from the pivot table on the chart. Is there a way to restrict the source data(columns) to appear on the chart?
There is a page drop down option and I would like the pivot table to remain with the chart to reflect the users choice of filtering.
Thanks

hi,
Straight answer No,
If you are strict to use Pivot table ,then Try to Duplicate the pivot view:1 for Chart in pivot and pivot View:2 Only Pivot
Thanks,

Select Data Source and Microsoft Security Issue

Hi,
Tool- Xcelsius 2008, QAaWS
When I open dashboard, it gives message "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern" "Data Connection have been blocked. If you choose to enable data connection, your computer may no longer be secure. Do not enable this content unless you trust the source of this file." with <Enable> and <Discable> buttons.
If it Enabled then leads to "Select Data Source" screen and asks details for DSN.
At every open it shows same messages.
Please, help if anyone knows or faced this issue.

FBL1N - Select data source

Hi,
Where do I change the default settings for the "Select data source" button in FBL1N?

HI,
Its okay you can remove the selection made for archive data, it is not going to impact adversly....
System just want instruction that where should it bring data from....if you feel need to bring data which have already been archived then select archive box before running the report and execute..

The selected data source is read-only

Anyone know how to fix this "issue"
The selected data source is read-only. You cannot change the view configuration.
Thanks in Advance.

Assuming that it's not actually read-only (because you're trying to hit a follower node or a data source that is currently loading non transactionally, etc.), you should be able to just click the Data Source edit button and click Save to "wake it up".
In previous versions of the product there was a "Refresh Data Sources" that would do the trick but I haven't seen it in the 3.0 version of Studio.
If enough people need it, maybe we'll just write it or something.

Restrict Values in Design Studio in chart from data source

Hi All, I have BW Query and I have created a data source that brings lets say 15 values. I only would like to show top 10 values from it. I do not want to restrict in BW query ,, can i still achieve this. The attached screenshot has like 15 values for example,, i only would like chart to populate top 5. How can i do this.. Thanks for your help

Hello Faisal,
Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to do this in the BEx query? Because conditions/exceptions from BEx query are supported SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
It seems to me that would be the easiest to meet your requirement.

How to get UI5 Chart selected data set index

Hi experts,
I am facing problem with ui5 bar chart. i am not able to get the selected data set index of selected bar on the chart.
I am using below method, but not getting any result from this method.
ObjectName.getChartObject().getSelectedDataSetIndices()
please suggest any methods are avaliable to get selected index?
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
You can get the legend index and y-value by using the below code in the event handler that you have registered for ChartSelectionEvent:
     var meaureIndex = event.srcElement.__data__.ctx.path.mi + 1;
     alert(meaureIndex); //hack for getting legend index
     var selPoint = c.getChartObject().getSelectedPoint();
     alert(selPoint); //selected bar index
     var yValue = c.getChartObject().getYDataValueAt(meaureIndex,selPoint);
     alert(yValue);
Using the legend index you should be able to get the legend name.
Please note that parts of the above code for getting legend index is a hack (not in i5Chart documentation/reference)
Hope this helps!

Ria

Issue in rendering CustomToolpart to select data source for custom webpart..

I have a custom webpart in which i have added a tool part.This toolpart should allow me to select any list in the sitecollection which would be displayed on the webpage on doing apply in the webpart properties.The dropdown list with all lists is coming fine.The
grid is diplaying as well.But in the toolpart,not in the webpart. I cant seem to segregate the two.There is also a textbox in the toolpart in which the entered text comes in the webpart.But the same approach is failing for the gridview.Please suggest
what to do.
Also,i am failing at making a separate category for the toolpart by specifying [category("List settings")]..Any suggestion as to what i'm doing wrong in that are welcome too.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about the custom web part.
Per my knowledge, we should customize the EditorPart instead of the
ToolPart to bind the lists to the dropdown list.
There is a good article about customizing web part, you can refer to it.

Error accessing selected data source: PAS Cube not available

Hi all,
we were running SSM 7.0 SP04 and updated to SP05. After that accessing to PAS cubes is not possible anymore. We have tried from de SSM administrator (set kpi option), and also from the user interface (scorecard tab).
I have check the model connections (manage models) and test has been succesful.
Any help on this matter will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alfonso

Hello Alfonso,
Have you checked the Set Scorecard Defaults option in the Admin interface? Is the PAS model still assigned to the context?
If the Model Connection test was successful, the only other option would be that you are using PAS security and your user is not associated with any PAS user under the existing Application Server Connections for that Model.
As of SP5 HF3, the application displays clear messages when encountering model connection problems. Perhaps upgrading to this HF or to SP6 it will be easier for you to troubleshoot this situation.
By the way, the SP6 is already released for customer (See SAP Note 1308704).
Hope this helps!

Adding New Data To Line Chart: New Data Does Not Inherit Previous Color Scheme

This has me very confused. Here's what's being done:
Right-click on existing chart
Select "Data..."
Add additional data in the dialog that pops up
Click check-mark
The chart appends more data to the existing lines on the line chart, as it should, however the newly created portion of one of the lines (new data) is not the same color as the line up to that point. The line color is #0084A9, but when the new data is entered the new data on that same line is represented in an ever so slightly darker blue.
Any guesses as to why that would be happening? I can manually chage it, but that's a hassle and shouldn't necessary - I wouldn't think, anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Very Best,
Tanner Campbell

OK looked at this closer, and seen your problem as acolor shift from PMS to a CMYK that was slightly off.
If you want to work with Hexadecimal colors, then you need to File>> Document Color Mode >> RGB, otherwise your colors won't stick but convert to cmyk and be off.
Your graph went through some editing and got corrupted. I copied and pasted your date into a new graph, and then used the testube to apply samples to get your colors back. Will send you an email with fixed file.
That’s the strangest thing. The color you’re seeing is #4e46ff, the color it should be is the color reflected in the legend: #0083a9
What’s extra interesting is that when I open it I see the legend color for the entire line. Then, when I add data, the section of the line that depicts the newly added data is #4e46ff …. So I have this two tone line. It’s intriguing that you opened this on a mac and this difference was presence, I wonder if that is in anyway a clue. Maybe the original document was created in RGB and the new data is on CMYK? Thoughts?

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

MS Excel as data source - Cannot create chart views

Hi,
I created a model with sql server and excel as the data sources. Most of the numerical data is coming from excel.
In Answers, I created a table view and it showed me all the data (Eg months, budget amount, plan amount, actuals amount ). But when I tried to create a chart view, it is giving me an error like it requires atleast one measure to create or draw a chart. I am taking Month on x -axis ad all the other columns like budget, plan , actual on y axis.
Not sure y its behaving like this
Did anyone encoured similar issue?
Please help...
Thanks

Events can be used in CE to trigger one report after another.
In CMC, define a new event, Schedule type, based on success. Then schedule your first report, setting Events to Trigger Upon Completion to include this new event. Sechedule your second report to run at the same time, except select the new event in the Events to Wait For section. The second report will wait until the first report completes successfully before starting to execute.
Another possible way is to use Object Packages. However, if such a package is run on a report server that allows multiple reports to run simultaneously, I think the multiple reports in the package will run at the same time. (This would have to be verified, as I am not positive.) But if the report server that the object package is scheduled to run under was single threaded, they would probably execute in order.

Selection of a field in data source

Hi,
I have to select the check box for a field in the Selection column of a data source. But the field is in non editable mode.
Can any body please let me know how to make the field editable.
Thanks
Sasidhar

Hi Sam/Chandran,
Thanks for your quick response. But here I am doing exactly how you said, by going into RSA6 and changing the data source. But the other fileds are in editable mode and only the filed which I want to select is in non-editable mode. May be any other reason for this?
Thanks in advance.

Assigning a Data Source to a Chart via JavaScript

Dear all,
Is it possible to assign a Data Source to a Chart via coding ?
something like :
CHART_1.setDataSource ...
Many thanks
Hans

I ran into the same problem. You can't dynamically switch DataSources for a chart, however, you can re-assign a DataSource to a different query.
I have a chart assigned to DS_1:
On startup, I need to check a flag, and use a different query based on the value of the flag.
Since I can't dynamically switch the DataSource for the chart, I simply switch the query that feeds the DataSource like this:
I hope this helps.
