Hi All
Alast I resolved the color issue...Due to exceptions it was not dispplaying..
I think even for negative value, we can set the MIN value with -ve value...
Hope resolved it on my own...

Help: Column Chart Display Issue

Post Author: ermiller

I have a chart that displays its data correctly 11 out of 12 times...and I can't seem to get the last one to work correctly. Here's the issue:
I have a table of data that looks like this:
REGION                                   GAIN                           LOSS                      NET
ALL                                           =SUM(BELOW)          =SUM(BELOW)       =SUM(BELOW)
REGION 1                                  10                               (1)                          9
REGION 2                                  20                               (2)                          18
REGION 3                                  30                               (7)                          23
REGION 4                                  40                               (0)                          40
I have a "Data Display" area that has the following formulas in it:
CRITERIA                                   GAIN                           LOSS                    NET
[USER INPUT]                           =VLOOKUP([USER INPUT],[TABLE ABOVE],0,[2,3,4 FOR EACH COLUMN])
If the user enters 'REGION 1', 'REGION 2', 'REGION 4, or 'REGION 4', the data is displayed in the column chart perfectly. However, if the user selects 'ALL', the process doesn't work and displays 0s in each of the columns above.
Does any one have any ideas on how to fix that issue or what could be causing it in the first place? I just noticed that the same thing occurs if I use a Grid component as well...even though Excel is processing the data accurately.
Thanks in advance,
Erik

Hi,
Without trying out your actual data, the first thing that comes to mind is that you aren't using all the options in VLOOKUP. I've discovered that Xcelsius requires all arguments even optional ones in many formulas but this isn't document). The last argument is TRUE (default) for the closest match, and FALSE for exact match. If the user can only enter from a set of values which are known to be in your lookup table, then either one will work but you should still specify this last argument.

Colour by series in combination and column charts

I am trying to create combination charts and column charts where each column or line in the charts can be assigned its own colour. This can be acheived by using the "By Series" option in the properties "General" tab. However, when this approach is taken, all the columns are grouped in the middle of the chart, with large ammounts of unused space on the left and right of the columns. Usual behavior with other charting programs is that the columns start from the left hand margin. Indeed, this is the case if I choose the "By Range" option, but then all the columns are the same coluor, and individual column and line colours can not be changed. Anybody got any ideas on how to resolve this please.

Hi Darrell,
Here's an example using COUNTIF. I've moved the count to a separate table. Table names are shown above each table:
Formula:
Summary::B2, and filled down to B6: =COUNTIF(Main :: $A,"<"&A3)-COUNTIF(Main :: $A,"<"&A2)
Note that A7 must contain a numberlrger than the starting number for the last category you are recording.
B7 should be left empty.
Row 1 on each table is a Header Row.

Barry

Multi-column chart issues

Hi,
I'm trying to make a 2d column chart of quiz entry results with multiple series (one per possible answer) but it's not working as intended. I have 5 series all with code like:
select null link, substr(question, 1, INSTR(question,' - ',1,1)), count(answer) from quizdata
where answer ='Strongly Disagree'
and :P13_DEP = emp_dep
and to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY') = to_char(ins_date, 'YYYY')
group by substr(question, 1, INSTR(question,' - ',1,1))Except with the answer being different (Agree, Strongly Agree~). However, when I load the page it only shows the results of the first series (Strongly Disagree, or if I delete that then Disagree)...anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
x-axis = question
y-axis = count (number of people to select that option this year)
There should be 5 columns per question.
Mike

For anyone who has a similar issue with multiple series being displayed the reason for my error was that I didn't specify a name for the value...since all of them were count(c) they clashed; making it count(c) "Disagree" etc made it display as intended.

Column Chart Issue

I have a column chart with multiple column series. The
vertical axis is of DateTimeAxis and formatted for hours. In one
instance the minimum y-value displayed on the axis is 3:00 hours.
Two column series with values of 5:20 and 8:03 are being displayed.
The third, whose value is 2:15, is not being displayed. I can,
however, mouse over the x axis where the column series should be
displayed and its dataTip pops up with the correct information,
most importantly the time 2:15. Any thoughts???

It seems like your veriticalAxis minimum value is above 2:15.
Why not set it lower and see if that helps.

Background Element Size issue in Column Chart

Hi All,
I am trying to add multiple chart to hbox dynamically with each chart having vbox as an background element and only first and last chart is having axis.
for example shown in below image three column chart are getting added out of which second chart dosn't contain either axis on left or right.
I am facing a problem in making background element of same size means there should not be size difference as shown below:
How can i make all the vboxes that i have used of same size ?
Thanks in advance.

Spacing is done based on the number of columns in the chart. It is better to use one chart and group the data accordingly. It is possible to add multiple axis for a chart

Alterts for Column Charts

Hi,
I have created a few column charts in Crystal XCelsius and have enabled value alerts so that the bars show up as different colours depending on the data. When I first assign the range for the alerts, the colours show up correctly. However, when I preview the chart, the bars are not coloured correctly-- i.e. not according to the specified range. Has anyone encountered a similar problem with alerts?
Thanks.

I believe this issue has to do with linking an alert to a cell. If that cell changes value, then everything seems to go to downhill. I believe this was supposed to be fixed in SP1, but it does not appear to be. I have a gauge with a value, a maximum limit, and an alert range that are all linked to dynamic cells, and the values change, but the needle never moves.
As an example, the lower limit is 0, the upper limit is 10, the value is 5, so the needle points straight. The user does something to change the value to 2, and the lower limit stays at 0, and the upper limit stays at 10, and the value label changes to 2, but the needle still points up and down.

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

Hi,
This type of question is almost impossible to answer over a forum .
You need to work with your business to understand what these requirements mean in terms of data modelling and relationships between object entities.
- Some of these metrics should be delegated to source, and calculated in the update routines to your datatargets (aka Cubes/Tables)
- Others could be resolved in the semantic layer (Universe)
- Other will be calculated in the presentation layer as local formulae or variables.
whilst BusinessObjects is a fairly intuitive tool, it may be unreasonble to expect a new learner to deliver an advanced report with conditional formatting.

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

Overlapping data when more data column chart SSRS

Hi guys,
In my ssrs report the column chart display is not good when more number of datas are viewed.How to overcum this issue
I searched more on this issue no good solution found.
I attached screenshot for this report,
any suggestions pls
Thanks,
R.B

Hi R.B,
I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. If there are more column data with adjacent values in the chart, the label will be overlapped due to the insufficient space. In this scenario, there are several properties you can use to try to get the labels
to fit better. Click the data point to open the Properties Windows, then go to the SmartLabels node.
Expand the "NoMoveDirections" node. This will give us a lot of directions that we can use to restrict the directions that the labels can move in. We can try to change directions to see if it helps.
Try to enlarge the chart size and use the method below to adjust the column size, it will free up more space to contain the label.
http://www.bidn.com/blogs/ChrisAlbrektson/bidn-blog/1832/ssrs-adjust-bar-chart-width
If we want to remove the black arrow, we can refer to the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3019086-4f72-4898-ba86-2e7c97c8fae4/ssrs-series-lable-overlaping-issue?forum=sqlreportingservices
Alternatively, we can use Tooltip property to instead of actually displaying. Type the same expression with Value field in the Tooltip property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Null object reference error in Axis Renderer in Case of Stacked Column Chart

We are trying to display a Flex Column chart (when stacked ) with single value in DataProvider but we used to get following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

We have invested so much effort and done lots of googling and also followed the work around given on https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-2275 but till now, we didn't get any solution.

I solved the issue by getting rid of the creationCompleteHandler event handlers for the KPI charts. But, since I am just days into flex development, I would be indebted if someone could explain to me why that was creating problems.
