Columns in Line Chart

Hi Guys,
I have a peculiar behavior in my dashboard. See the attachment below. I am getting the columns in my line chart. I have developed this dashboard few months back,exported to Launchpad and generated SWF file. Everything was fine then. Few days back when I made some changes and generated a SWF file I was getting columns in the line chart. I could resolve it by opening the file in IE and copying the link in Chrome then columns were not coming. But today when I opened the dashboard in the preview mode I am getting the columns after exporting to SWF file I am not getting these columns by opening in Chrome. What Could be the reason?
Thanks,
Krishna

Xcelsius Drill Down With Column and Line Chart

Hi Guys,
I am working on an Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard. I would like to integrate two charts, a column and a line chart. The column chart is supposed to show the results for each quarter. With a selector it changes the view and name of the different numbers.
Then I would like to enable the drill down so that I can see the results for the three months of the corresponding quarter in the line chart. Is that somehow possible? I am totally lost. Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,
You cannot integrate a column chart and line chart to make drill down possible. You could drill down a column chart to show the values in another chart bt that would be just two different charts and not an integrated one.

Combining Column and Line charts

I'm trying to put together a composite graph, consisting of
both LineSeries and Column Series, for a financial page. I'm
rendering the entire graph inside of a ColumnChart. However, when
multiple points for the lineseries are close together, the
mouse-over only displays a single dataTip. When working in a
LineChart, multiple dataTips are displayed for any points close
together or on top of each other; is there any (preferably simple!)
way to replicate that functionality in a ColumnChart?
Thanks!

And to make it even more fun, I just know discovered that
interpolateValues="false" does not seem to function properly within
a columnChart. Does anyone know a workaround for this
problem?

Display column values as a series/legend on a line chart where one column value can be more than one category

Hi Everyone
I don't know if this is possible or not, so I will describe it. I have a column in a table called Filing. There are currently three values in it ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") and each record has this populated. I also have
the below slicer for the column also.
I would like to add a fourth value called "Abuse/Neglect" that would identify instances where both an Abuse and Neglect petition was filed, which is a subset of the Abuse and Neglect records in the Filing column.
My question is, is it possible to create a line chart that has the 4 Filing possibilities: "Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary", "Abuse/Neglect" as the Series/Legend in the line chart?
The problem is that there are records that are more than one category: Abuse or Neglect records can also be Abuse/Neglect.
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, there is a column with the values ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") in your table, now what you need to is that add another value "Abuse/Neglect" in this column, and then use it
as Series/Legend in the line chart, right?
In this case, you can add calculated column to your table based on your logic. A calculated column is a column that you add to an existing PowerPivot table. Instead of pasting or importing values in the column, you create a DAX formula that defines
the column values. The calculated column can be used in a PivotTable, PivotChart, or Power View report as you would any other data column. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Changing column name in Line chart

Hello All,
We are BO 4.0 SP6.
We are creating WEBI reports which includes charts as well.
We have two columns " Current Period" and "Last Period" and using them in WEBI report and Line chart.
In the table I am displaying the column name " Current period " as "Oct-14" using some formula.
But I am not able to change the name in the chart.
Can we change the column name in the graph using some formulas? Please advice.
PFA the screenshot for your reference.
Regards
Prasad Ambati

Hi,
Do not Drag it inside chart area .
Align Them above Legend Text ( Current Period ),
so that Actual Legend Text will be hidden .

Chart missing Columns and Lines

I have created a Column Line Chart and allow the user to input different values that change formulas to produce the columns and line on the graph. I can see the graph perfectly fine with all columns and the line on the canvas view. Whenever I try to export to any file type, upon opening the file, all but two of the columns are missing and the line is missing in all spots except for at two points.
I've noticed that if I remove my formulas from my spreadsheet and just put in hard coded values in place of the formulas, the report populates correctly, but this takes away all functionality of allowing the user to adjust inputs, which is the entire reason we are using this software.
Please advise how I can fix this issue so that my chart shows all data.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan
This is common - this can happen due to possible reasons like
1) The data in preview mode on which the formula is applied is not same as the hard coded or the one in design mode. So when you go to preview its different view in the chart
2) Some other component is messing with the excel ranges you are using for formula for the chart - some components which can drop values as per their destination property.
This is how you need to test
- Add a test spreadsheet table component ( from selector category) and map all the cells that's included in the formula - the original range, the input values from the user interaction, and the final ranges with formula and the range to which chart is mapped to if different from the formula range.
- Preview the dashboard and see whats going on in those cells and if they all are behaving as expected.
- if the original data range and the input data are what you anticipate and not changed by any other variable you are not considering.
Use more than one spreadsheet table if the ranges I suggested are not contiguous.
Please try the above and post the updates.
Thanks

Business Graphics: Time Scatter, Line Chart, Column Chart

Hi all,
I have a requirement of intermixing of Bar/Column-Chart and Line-Chart. How to do this? I also need to color the columns.. Any Documents or Ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks,
    Vinod V

Hi, Rohit & Neha
   I think, my question is not clear..
My requirements are on Business Graphics (Not in IWDTable), where i need to represent my data in different columns (Levels). Each level will be Represented in different colors.
Eg: Top level of my Graph will have RED,
      Middle by YELLOW and
      Bottom part would be with GREEN.
My Second Question is on using Multiple Graph types in same graph...
Where data will be represented in Column/Bar Chart and in the same graph i need a curve to display the max value pointed by Column Chart..
How can i achieve this?

Customizing Charts (merging Line, column aand stacked charts into one chart)

Post Author: BARTMAN
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello
I am currently using Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 and am striving to create a hybrid chart. In excel i have customized my chart to incorporate a stacked area chart, a stacked column chart and a couple of line charts thrown into the mix.
I am perplexed when trying to accomplish the same task in Xcelsius, can not find anything that will allow you to custom build your own graphs.
Does any one have a solution?
Thanks
BARTMAN

I meant have one criteria (one query).
so you'd select :
week of year,
count(Fixed Bugs),
count(reported bugs)
in the same criteria, then select both measures on the 'line' and the week of year on the x axis of the graph?
Any reason why you cant build them into one criteria?
BTW are you measures defined the RPD or are you creating them in Answers on the fly using count() function?

Different sort order with line chart and stacked column chart

Hi,
I have a problem with sorting within flash charts.
The chart should be ordered by a date column.
If I'm using a line chart everything is fine. The columns in the chart are in the same order as returned by the query.
If I change the chart type to stacked column chart, I get a wrong order.
It is orderd like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4.
What's wrong?
Here the query i use:
SELECT NULL AS link,
TO_CHAR (zeitpunkt, 'dd.mm.yyyy'),
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06E', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06E",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06T",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI14S', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI14S",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI14T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI14T",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI16T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI16T",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI24K', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI24K",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI33T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI33T",

FROM db_performance_temp
ORDER BY zeitpunkt ASC
SQL> desc db_performance_temp
Name Null? Typ
ZEITPUNKT DATE
DB_SID VARCHAR2(30)
VALUE NUMBER

I found the solution.
Anychart seems to have a problem with null values!
The corrupted sorting only occured for a specific set of search criteria and a specific day. At this day some values have been null.
I added a "nvl( [...], 0) for every value.
No I get a correct sort order.

Line chart with one line per distinct column value

Hi,
For example I have a task dataobject with three fields
type
timeCompleted
duration
I would like to have a line chart that plots the average duration of tasks over time. With a separate line for each task type. Is this possible? All the examples seem to have one line correspond to one column on the dataobject.
Jeremy

Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for the reply. I understand now, I didn't realise you could add the same data object multiple times with different filters. So for each task type I add the task data object to the view with a filter on the task type and this creates a new line in the chart.
I was hoping that when data for a new task type reached the bam then I could make it automatically create a new line in the graph for that type. Oh well, I guess the creation of a new task type will be relativly rare.

Multiple Line Charts with Column Chart

I want to show two line charts with a column chart. Everything goes on the screen fine, except the two line charts origination point always starts at the same point despite the numbers being different. For example, the ls1 might read 280, 190, 180 and the ls2 is 175, 188, 177 but both origination points start at 280. The other two datapoints should also be close together but they have a substantial gap of about 50 between them. Obviosuly I want to have two separate lines. I have also tried moving the line series below the first lines series with no success.

Hi,
Still Trying:
I've now got this code to function:
var i:int = 0;
                for each (var cat:* in event.result.chart.categories.category){
                    //mx.controls.Alert.show(cat.label);
                    var z:int = 0;
                    for each (var valuee:* in event.result.chart.dataset){
                        //mx.controls.Alert.show(event.result.chart.dataset[z].seriesName);
                        //mx.controls.Alert.show(valuee.sete[i].value);
                        z++;
                    i++
which works fine, how can I get in into Array to make a dataset for the flex charts?
Thanks,

Problem in Combo chart columns and line

I select chart type is combo in my vc model and select data series is columns and line.
I define 5 series in the chart.
once i deployed the model the output shows the columns are overwrite in stacked position.
eg:
series 1: 10%
series 2: 20%
series 3: 45%
series 4: 25%
series 5 is line type
but in the chart the only one column will display,its top value 45% and itself shows 10% and 20% in different color.Don't show the 25% value on that column.
How to display the chart columns in clustered type in combo chart.
thanks in advance
Aravind.S

Hi
When you select 'Combo Chart' you will not get options for 'Stacked or Clustered'. By default it will be 'Stacked' chart only. Combo charts are generally used for less number of data series. Normally these charts are best suitable for 2 Data series only.
Still in your case is there any reason to use 'Combo Chart'? Consider following points -
1. If you want to use this type of chart then selction of 'Columns + Line' will be difficult because it will treat only 'Last Data Series' as line & all others will be columns & what you said problem will appear.
2. Instead of that select 'Column + Lines', so that only first 'Data series' will be column & rest all will be 'Lines'. So that you will get better visibility in that graph.
I think this will help you, If you have nay problem let me know.

Sandeep

Cross tab expert-
Rows u2013 category
Columns u2013 year
Summarized fields u2013 Min of table_value
In Chart Expert u2013
On Change of - Year
Show values - graph values
In cross tab m able to see the data properly but not in graph.I have three categories. Hence it should plot three lines in line chart but m able to see only one line for test category.
FYI u2013 using VS 2008 and crystal report assembly version 10.5
Urgent. Please reply soon.
Thanks
