Colums aren't displayed in column chart

Hello,
I have a problem with Xcelsius. It's not displaying the columns of my column chart in the preview and in the excel-export. The legend is being displayed.
Thx for answering,
Simon

Hi Simon,
There are n number of reasons for this.
1. There might be no DATA provided
2. The data provided might have huge variance like 10000,2,3,
3. The bar color might have got set to the same color of background. etc.,.
To set everything back.
Create a fresh chart with good sample data then change the value range of chart.
Ensure that in the Properties of chart-> Behaviour tab-> Scale -> Manual scaling is NOT selected. Let it be automatic.
Please revert in case this doesnt work.
With best wishes

Creating Custom Theme for Power View Clustered columns chart

Helllo...
Is it possible to create custom theme for displaying clustered columns chart on Power View?
Basically I am looking to create chart with specific colors for the bars? For e.g. for High - RED, Medium - Orange and Low - Yellow color. When I look at themes available in Excel 2013 I don't see this combination as such, so I was looking to create one
myself.
I tried to create a theme using video on youtube, but the theme which I created is not showing up in Power View mode in excel 2013.

Hi Sagar,
In Power View, it has several default theme colors for us to apply to our workbook. Also, we can change the Font, Text Size and Background of the chart. However, it is not support to design a custom theme color.
You can refer to the following steps to change the theme colors:
1. On the POWER VIEW tab, in the Themes group, click Themes.
2. Under Built-in, click the theme that you want to use.
Please refer to the following screenshot below:

Column chart from Bex query with 2 characteristics in rows and column

Hi,
We're trying to represent the following column chart in Dashboard Design:
Material/Month
January
February
March
Material 1
100
200
300
Material 2
400
500
600
Material 3
700
800
900
The BEX query has:
Result objects: Material, Month/year; amount
The problem is when i paste the Material dimension in the Excel, i'm getting the following result:
Material/Month
January
February
March
Material 1
100
200
300
Material 1
400
500
600
Material 1
700
800
900
So, when i display the column chart, the material tag is incorrect:
as the image attached shows.

Hey Flora,
Happy to hear that its working now.
Answering your question, again its upto the connection and report format you are using. Based on your question i hope you your report output should be like this.
You cannot map to two labels for the series, again this report format is possible only in cross tab through Webi. I would suggest you to concatenate the material and month in a dimension in webi like below.
I have done the concatenation in excel level, i would suggest you to do that in webi. Try to reduce the formula as much in excel.
or
If you are using Query browser connection, then i would suggest you to create a separate report which will display the actual vs plan material wise, here you need to pass the material as a prompt.
Hope this helps in clear, please revert me for any clarification.

Help: Column Chart Display Issue

Post Author: ermiller
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
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.

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

In the new Numbers, How can I get a 2D stacked column chart to display only 1 column?

This is one of those things that I find really strange about Numbers 3. The control for what you want to do is not where anyone would expect to find it.
Select the Chart
Click on Edit Data References
Look at the bottom left corner of the Numbers window. It should say "Plot Columns as Series" or "Plot Rows as Series"
Click on it and change it to the other

Help we column chart display

HI,
I'm extending my dashboard to display printer information.
From the sample data below I want to display, each printers
job total count for each quarter.
Bottom access should show Q2-07,Q3-07-Q1-08 vertical axis
should show integers.
From the table below I want to display in each quarter a

in same quarter showing page total for each printer
AEc2880->JOBCOUNT:AEc2880->PAGECOUNT:CreativeFirey240->JOBCOUNT:CreativeFirey240->PAGECOUN T:

Each row is a printerName, JobCount, PageCount,Quarter,
printStartQuarter (first day of each quarter)
Requirements:
I need to display summaries in a column chart of Queue
(printer) usage. For each Queue summary I need to show total jobs
sent (printed) and total pages sent (printed) for a given period.
The one I'm dealing with here is quarterly view. With the
sample data above I want to show for each quarter total job, total
pages for AEc2880,CreativeFirey240 and AEIR5055
If I use the data has is, I only get one queue per quarter. I
need to have each queue its own column, twice. One for total jobs
and total pages. Then one row per quarter for it to work.
AEc2880_TJ - AEc2880_TP - CreativeFirey240_TJ -
CreativeFirey240_TP - AEIR5055_TJ - AEIR5055_TJ - Quater -
printStartQuarter.
Now for the big issue, the queues are dynamic. The test data
is from 3 queues only. There could be 1 to n number of queues and
not all quarters will be the same as queues get added and deleted.
This is how I approached this in AS Flex 2, I have flex 3 but
not installed yet, I can not find much info on the new grouping
classes to see if they will help.
Most examples are with the advanced data grid. There is also
very little information on charting bar the basics around.
My data comes in from PHP middle ware as JSON.
First think we need to do is pass the de-serialized array
into a function that finds all the unique queue names.
[Bindable]
private var groupQueueEvent:ArrayCollection;
private function setUpHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
//get the raw JSON data and cast to String
var rawData:String = String(event.result);
//decode the data to ActionScript using the JSON API
//in this case, the JSON data is a serialize Array of
Objects.
var arr:Array = (JSON.decode(rawData) as Array);
//Send array for processing.
groupPrinters(arr);
//function that takes quartly events and finds unique queues
private function
populateComboYearArray(eventsArray:Array):Array {
var queueArrayHashMap : Object = new Object(); //create hass
array, used to make sure array unique
var queueArray : Array = new Array; //create arry to hold
queues
//now run through each row of passed data looking for queue
names
for (var i:int = 0; i < eventsArray.length; i++)
//check to see if this
queue is all ready in hash.
if (queueArrayHashMap[eventsArray .PrinterName] ==
undefined){
//it not in hash so add it
queueArrayHashMap[eventsArray
.PrinterName] = new Object();
// now add the queue array
queueArray.push(eventsArray .PrinterName);
return queueArray; //send back final array
private function groupPrinters(data:Array):void {
//create array to hold unique names
var printerNames:Array = new Array();
//process data and get unique queue names back
printerNames = populateComboYearArray(data);
var printGroup:Array = new Array;//hold the final array
var tempRowArray:Object;//used to build each row of new data
var pgCountColumnName:String;//used to build queue names for
page count
var jobCountColumnName:String;/used to build queue names for
job count
for (var printRow:int = 0; printRow < data.length; ) {
//run through each row of data
tempRowArray = new Array; //create a new row each time
// we will always want the Quarter and printStartQaurter in
every row so add now
tempRowArray.Quarter = data[printRow].Quarter;
tempRowArray.printStartQuarter =
data[printRow].printStartQuarter;
// now for the tricky bit, we need to process each queue
name
for (var i:int = 0; i < printerNames.length; i++) {
// we need to see if we have a queue name match not all
quarters will
// have the same queue names
if (printerNames
.PrinterName == data[printRow].PrinterName) {
//if match found add to our row
//make dynamic column name would like to use queue name but
may be tainted
pgCountColumnName = "column" + String(i) + "pgcount";
jobCountColumnName = "column" + String(i) + "jbcount";
now create the columns with the names and add the data to
them
tempRowArray[pgCountColumnName] = data[printRow].PAGECOUNT;
tempRowArray[jobCountColumnName] = data[printRow].JOBCOUNT;
// we found a match so move along in outer loop
printRow++;
// we didn't find a match don't advance outer loop
// we checked all the queue names advanced outer loop where
needed,
// next time trough we should be in new quarter
printGroup.push(tempRowArray);// push temporary row to our
array
//assign are data to an array collection
groupQueueEvent = new ArrayCollection(printGroup);
//assign data to test grid for checking
detailedPrintReport.dataProvider = groupQueueEvent;
//assign data to chart.
colChart.dataProvider = groupQueueEvent;
//now make up the dynamic series
//PLEASE NOTE this code does not work yet still playing with
it
// testing purpose hard coded in mxml
var dynamicColumnSeries:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries;
colChart.series = [dynamicColumnSeries];
for ( i = 0; i < printerNames.length; i++) {
pgCountColumnName = "column" + String(i) + "pgcount";
jobCountColumnName = "column" + String(i) + "jbcount";
dynamicColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries;

Display Column Chart Y Axis Labels in Kilo(K), Million(M)...

Hi Folks,
I would like to display the Y-axis labels of a column chart in Kilo, Millions etc. I used the below mentioned formula in excel for that set of data. Here is the formula [>=1000000]0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
Though in embedded excel it displays the values as desired, when I assign them to the column chart in Xcelsius the Y axis labels are not as expected. For Kilo it works fine but when it comes to millions it is not displaying accordingly. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sukumar

Hi Sukumar,
If You want to display the Y Axis Labels like Kilo(k),Million(M),Billions(B)...etc.Do the following things ,
goto column chart properties->behaviour->scale in that Enable the Fixed Label size checkbox.

ADF Data visualization Gantt chart displaying 10 columns only

hi
i am using Gantt chart and it is only displaying 10 columns from the view object the 11 column is not visible
how can i solve this??
also these columns are taking so much space, and i want to make their width smaller, but when i change the style --> box --> width, the column alone change its width but without the header.
thanks

People are not prone to answer questions that are not really a problem. You want to know something about a free product, install it and see for yourself. In any case spreading your question around is not going to help you, the people who know about ADF are still going to be looking in the ADF forum. If you don't get an answer there, what chance do you think you have that you'll get one here where it is off-topic?
I'll close with a word of advice: you generally pay for quality. If you want professional looking charts, you'll probably have to look at commercial products.

Column Chart displaying blank columns

I've this column chart whose data provider is set dynamically. The chart has a two Column Series. Occasionally the columns are displayed as blank.
Although the corresponding labels on x-axis and tool tips are displayed correctly. Has anyone experienced similar issue? Kindly suggest a solution.

Thanks for the reply. No the data provider is surely not null as the same collection
is being set as data provider for a data grid too. And data grid always displays the data.
Besides if the data provider was null it wouldn't have shown the x-axis labels and the
tool tip values.
Code Sample:
Basically chartData is a XMLListCollection object, its being populated on a call back method of a
HTTPService request.
The following method is called once the chartData is populated.
//Populate columns for abcChart
private function populateColumns():void {
     abcChart.series = new Array();
     var haltsSeries:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
     var haltsFill:SolidColor = new SolidColor(0xFF0000);
     haltsSeries.dataProvider = chartData;
     haltsSeries.displayName = "Halts";
     haltsSeries.yField = "HALTS";
     haltsSeries.setStyle("fill",haltsFill);
     abcChart.series.push(haltsSeries);
     var warningsSeries:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
     var warningsFill:SolidColor = new SolidColor(0xFFFF66);
     warningsSeries.dataProvider = chartData;
     warningsSeries.displayName = "Warnings";
     warningsSeries.yField = "WARNINGS";
     warningsSeries.setStyle("fill",warningsFill);
     abcChart.series.push(warningsSeries);
     return;
Following is the Columnchart with its children and properties.

Spreadsheet table to column chart problem

Trying to copy a spreadsheet from Excel to a spreadsheet table to pick rows to graph in a column chart.
This isn't the spreadsheet, but it's set up like this. The underlines are there to space things out like table cells.
Neighbors_______________Jones___Smith_____Tomlinson
Number of Pets
Cat_________________________1______0____________1
Dog_________________________1______2__________10
Fish_________________________0_____30___________4
Number of Plants
Trees_______________________ 2______3____________1
Potted_______________________1______2____________1
In the spreadsheet table:
display data: everything
source data: the numbers and the blank line on the "Number of Plants" row
destination :a blank row extending from column 2 to column 4
In column chart;
make a series
make pick by row
source data: the blank row from col 2 to col 4
make rows 1,2, 5 not pickable
When I preview, some of the pickable rows show nothing on the bar graph and others show graph for other row.
What am I doing wrong ?

Trying easier ones. For the spreadsheet table, the display data is all the rows, the source data are the numbers, and the destinations are blank rows that are 2 cells wide.
A spreadsheet table with the 2 rows
1 2
3 4
goes to a column chart fine.
A spreadsheet table with the 2 rows
a 1 2
b 3 1
goes to a column chart ok except tick marks aren't labelled with numbers on the b row.
A spreadsheet with the 3 rows
a
b 1 2
c 3 1
has only row b in the column chart and row c is picked in the
What am I missing ?

Stacked Column Chart (Total and Combination Chart)

Hi,
I tried to find the answer at old posting, but failed to find proper solution.
So here I go again with the same old problems:
1. Any method / trick to display total on top of each stacked column ?
    (Label is not an option, since it is static and will not move following the height of the stacked bar).
2. Any method / trick to combine stacked column chart with line chart ?
    (Overlay is not an option, because I think it is too tedious to play around with color and border)
Thanks for the bandwidth.
Regards.
NB: Are there any XCelcius add-on for those 2 functions ?

Hi Yudie,
Can you get compromised in the following way ?
In the X Axis labels, you can get the values concatenated dynamically and displayed. Example given below:
2008          2009          2010
P180         P250         P280
A172        A263         A265
Whereas P denotes to Plan and A denodes Actuals. Above to this labels stacked colum wil be there as usual.
Consider and revert, in case you need any more clarification on this.
Keep posting.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.
