Charts with missing data / time data

Hello,
is there a possibility to let crystal draw charts with (for example) all days of a weeks, even if there is data missing for one day in the database?
Is there also a way to have a fixed timeline in the chart and let the values from the database be drawed to a specific timestamp and all this in minute resolution?
Thanks

Charts with Multiple Data Series in One Color

I am trying to create a pie chart to reflect the different areas of my budget in four categories. However, my budget is divided into several smaller categories across several columns and I can only get the cells in the first column to register even though the additional cells show up in the Inspector as part of the series.

Jerry,
Thanks for the info. I'll give that a read when I get home today. In a roundabout way I tried part of that. I created my chart with my data for Mammallia and the time periods. Then I selected the occurrences for Synapsids and dropped them in, but it added them to the first data set in the chart? I'm guessing I was doing something wrong, but I'm unsure of what. Numbers/Excel has never been a strong subject for me, but I'll try your advice and see what I come up with.
Reading your post again, the last way seems the most simple and I feel a little foolish for not thinking of that myself. Oh well, that's how we learn right? Thanks for your help!! You saved me a lot of hassle.
Best regards,
Mitch

Column chart with null data items

I have a Column Chart with an ArrayCollection data provider.
The data will sometimes have missing items in some "rows'. For
example, it might look like this where the second object has no
"Male" property:
public var myData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{School: "Priorford", All: 95, Male: 92, Female: 98},
{School: "Giffnock", All: 87, Female: 89},
{School: "Hastings", All: 80, Male: 78, Female: 82}
Sometimes I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object
reference.
at mx.charts.chartClasses::NumericAxis/mapCache()
I'm assuming the error is because of missing data items, but
I'm not 100% sure. Some data sets with missing items will display
with no error. I can't see a pattern to those that don't.
-- I can't produce the error when using a "static" data
source set in the Flex app itself (such as the example above).
These always display correctly, even with missing items.
-- In the problem case, the source data comes from a MySQL
database through a PHP script that is called with a Flex
httpService. The returned data is parsed in Flex, and put into the
ArrayCollection. I was suspecting that the returned data was flawed
in some way, but the same ArrayCollection displays correctly in a
DataGrid. The problem is only with the Chart.
-- I can work round the problem by adding the missing
properties and setting them to an empty value. But I don't think I
should have to do this.
Has anyone seen this problem, or know of any obvious thing I
might be doing wrong.

Thanks Arthur.
Your first suggestion is effectively what I'm doing as a
workaround. But it is a bit of a pain to have to account for this
each time when displaying a chart. It's a particular problem when
you don't know in advance what "categories" might be returned by
the data and that have to be charted.
My biggest concern is that this looks like a bug, and the
fact that it seems to occur intermittently is a bit worrying. (I
also know that eight out of ten reported "bugs" are user error,
which is why I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this.)
About your second suggestion, I think the interpolateValues
property only applies to lineSeries.

Gantt chart with null dates

Hi,
Kylie discovered here that you couldn't have null dates in the project gantt query
APEX 4.0.2 Project Gantt Chart - Error Code: 2002 Message: Empty input
As Valentina suggested, I found the actual dates are mandatory, while the chart tolerates missing planned dates - which is a complete reversal of what actual project data would have.
baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship
What I found though is if some planned dates are missing, the generated XML seems to default with data from previous rows.
As detailed in this screenshot, my red lines indicate missing from/to dates (actual data also shown underneath chart)

Hi Ahmed
Thank you for your reply.
The time scales in Gantt chart specifically shows the year, month and weeks from the start date of project definition or basic start of WBS.
Since it is not a decided project, the Gantt chart need to show 0, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week etc.
The actual schedule from PD start date can be produced on actual initiation of project.
It means, i am looking for having Gantt chart for duration and not for specific start and finish dates.

I want one horizontal line per application where the X-axis represents the date and the Y-axis represents the server time. I have tried all column combinations for "On Change Of" and "Show Value(s)". What confuses me is why are Count and Discount the only Summary Options for the "Show Value(s)" data?

I created a group based on date, day, then created the chart and put it in the group footer, on change of server, show sum of time, you will get a seperate chart for each day. I am not sure if this will help, or will just do. Since you have CR XI, you may want to look at the gauge chart also....

Want to create Monthly chart with weekly data.

Hi all. I'd like to create a chart that graphs data over the course of a month similar to this:
but where the data for the chart is only gathered once a week. I know from reading in the forums (and trying myself) that if you have missing data fields in your table, you end up with individual points that aren't connected to each other. So I assume that the solution has something to do with how the chart is labeled?
Can someone clue me in on how to build a chart that shows each day (as above), but connects weekly data fields (as below):
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Barry.
It looks like what you're describing is what I've already managed to figure out. The problem I'm having is that I want the bottom row of numbers (currently 3, 10, 17, 24) to be the days of an entire month (ie: March 1-31). Then have the values in the chart correspond to the proper day (3, 10, 17, 24).
Here's what happens if I create a table with all the days of the month, but only weekly fields filled in:
I realize that Numbers doesn't automatically connect the dots when there are empty fields in a table. But I can't seem to get to a point where I can have the graph show the entire month, but with a line connecting each of the weekly values.
I thought that I could do it by creating a custom label for the X axis. Here's what I tried:
But of course that didn't work, because the chart still only shows 4 labels (due to the table only having 4 categories). It just renamed the first four labels.

From chart with no data available to chart with data problem

Hi all,
If in my application I set a filter (through a dropdown or any other component) to a datasource and this retrive no data in the chart area appears this standard image:
But if in the next step I change again the filter to a dimension member where there is data, this appears:
It's obviously wrong and in order to fix the chart I have to change again the filter:
So basically every time the chart retrive no data I have to switch 2 times any filter in order to get the correct appearance.
Why this kind of behaviour?
Thanks,
Michele

Hello Michele,
Today we found a work around for this issue .
In my scenario , when ever I unchecked a check box, my two chart which is under a panel is displaying this "No data available" message.
So what we did is first I hide my panel and re sized the Panel right margin, in the next line I enable the Panel of two charts and re sized to original size .Now no data available issue is not displaying.
Sample script
PANEL_1.setVisible(false);
PANEL_1_.setRightMargin (15);
PANEL_1_.setVisible(true);
PANEL_1.setRightMargin (0);
Imp: This script I given inside a button so when ever no data available message shows then click on this button and inside that button we given the above code.
Note: What I observed that this issue is occurring because of the chart component is not refreshing.So with the above option , the chart is refreshing and solving the issue .
Please try this logic in your scenario and let us know if it helps !!
I will work and update you if this code can be given inside a component so that user, no need to click on the Button to remove this error screen.

Flex charting with Coldfusion data

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do charting with data
coming from Coldfusion? I'm not a newbie, but not quite there yet
with coding yet either so an example might be helpful. I was
looking at converting a cfc. file to as. but started doubting if
that can actually be done (just a stab in the dark on my
part)

Should have spotted this last time. Try using
event.lastResult.getCDDDataResult.
I am presuming that updateCDDChart is being called as the
result of an HTTPService.
EDIT: No, that won't work. You use lastResult when using
HTTPService a different way. Not entirely sure what your problem is
at the moment. I'll maybe get a chance to look more closely this
evening.

Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

Hi Don,
Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also.
There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.

Plotting multiple graphs on one waveform chart with dynamic data types

I'm trying to put multiple graphs on one waveform chart and having data agreement errors. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that dynamic data is being used (I've had no problems with other datatypes in the past). Does anyone know how to correct this problem? I've attached the following .VI. There will be plenty of .VIs on the bottom that won't load, but they are not consequential for this problem.
Thanks!

you could use stacked plots by right clicking on the chart and clicking on the stacked plots and than on the front panek you can put a bundle function on the FP and hook your signals up

Foreign trade--Billing document should not be created with missing data

Hi,
We have foreign trade set up. In that we defined incompletion schema at line item level with commodity code and country of origin as "Field ready for input - Incompletion check active".
Can anybody tell me that, in the above setup, is it possible to avoid the creation of billing document with missing above data.
Generally , system will go for the accounting status for block with foreign trade data missing. But our users don't want to create the billing document if the data is missing.
Can any body suggest us.
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh
You have to set up a new subroutine or you have to copy the standard subroutine and include the logic that it should read the foreign trade details at both sales order and delivery levels.you need to assign the subroutine in both VTFL and VTFA copy controls (header and item levels)
Another option is you have to go with user exit RV60AFZZ.Please refer this link,hope it should solve your problem

Help: Chart with multiple data points

I would like to create a chart which has 2 data points. The way I know it works, each metric has only one data point. If I want the metric history chart shows 2 data points (y axis) over the same period of time (x axis). Is it possible to do such metric?
Thanks for the help.

Don't believe you can have 2 data points as you are suggesting. Oracle is working on enhancing the reporting framework for EM, but not sure when BI will be there. You can send data from the OMR to an existing BI infrastructure and report from there.
Sorry...
Have a good day.

X-y Scatter chart with multiple data series

Hi,
How do I create an x-y scatter chart with more than 1 data series? For example:
Series 1
x__y
1__0
2__5
3__9
4__7
5__2
Series 2
x_____y
0.5___0
1.3___4.8
2.6___12.3
4.1___8.4
4.9___3.2
I can do this with 2 seperate graphs but I need them on the same graph.
Is there a limit on the number of series that can be placed on a single x-y scatter graph?
Many thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. Actually I must be doing some thing wrong like using ColumnChart to display a line chart or something like that.
I have now realized that a multi series line chart can be built by having a different data provider for each of the LineSeries object.
So the code below would create a multi series line graph :
[Bindable] private var orangeSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 101000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 960000, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 475000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 425000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
            [Bindable] private var appleSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 991000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
