Combining a Line Chart with a Bar Chart

I'm required to render a chart that has a line chart in the background with a bar chart in the foreground. BarChart requires with one of the axes be Category while the LineChart needs to have both axes be Numeric.
I had seen another post suggesting using a StackPane to put 2 distinct charts on top of each other. I don't think this will be suitable for this due to how different the one axis needs to be.
My hunch is to simply write a new XYChart that renders bars instead of lines. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Chirs,
In SSRS, the chart type is by design. It is not support vertical line chart.

Formatting of vertical Line chart

Hi,
Does anyone know why the last element on a LineChar,t when

line.

Cfchart yaxis scale is wrong when combining bar and line charts

Hi, I am trying to combine a bar and line chart ti display data. Everything looks good except that the yaxis scale is off. I set the scaleMin to 0 but that doesn't help. Below is my code, the custom XML style and a screen shot. My ultimate goal is to get the yaxis to start at 0, not -1,000 as is currently the case. I have combined this data with each set represented as bar charts and do not have this problem. It must be the combo of bar and line charts together. Any assistance is most appreciated.

Help with Bar & Line Chart on dual Axes

I'm attempting to build a chart with 2 series
Series 1 is a total
Series 2 is a percent value
I want Series 1 to be a column and series 2 to be a line
Here is what I tried
right click on the Bar that Iwant to display as line.
Select the series option and then select "Line" from the drop down.
But when I do this both series change even though they on different Axes.
What did I miss?
Thanks
Steve

you should first create a line chart, then click the series and turn to 'riser'.
Thx, Hao

Stacked bar chart/line chart combination

Hi,
I use Crystal Reports 10.I need to produce a chart containing 2 series on the same graph with:
- one series as a stacked bar chart type,
- one series as a line chart type (not stacked).
I tried doing 2 separate charts and superimposing one over the other, but the user wants to export it to excel and when they do so, the graphs appear as 2 separate images rather than one. it appears correctly in pdf though.
How can i achieve this, either in 1 graph or as separate 2 graphs ?
Any help appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Swathy.

Hello Swathy,
If you can get both series in one chart then you can convert one series into line.
To do this right click on the Bar that you want to display as line.Select the series option and then select "Line" from the drop down of "Show Selected Series as:" option.
Hope this will help!
Thanks & Regards,
Amrita

This can be done in Excel and I'm thinking that it should be possible in WebI reports too.

Horizontal scroll bar with Line charts

Hi,
I want a scrollable bar attached to x-axis as in this example(fourth one in the following URL---http://www.connectedpixel.com/blog/scrollingcharts).I able to find these feature only with ColumnCharts .Can any one tell whether can we apply the same to LineCharts .I request you to send some docs/examples of scrollbar with Line Charts
Regards

Kalavati,
it's all fairly straightforward ActionScript stuff. Create a new ActionScript class derived from Panel. In a suitable handler create the line chart and scroll bar (HScrollbar), position them wherever you want with the x/y/height/width properties, and add them as children (otherwise they won't show up).
I'm not sure what you're wanting to do with the scroll bar but let's suppose that at the start you show all the x-axis data (which is the default) and have the scrollbar thumb pointer at 100% (ie scrollPosition=maxScrollPosition). Then catch the scroll event. In the handler, work out the percentage across of the current position (this is a whole lot easier if you've set maxScrollPosition=100 to start with), then work out the implied change to the line chart in terms of data values. I don't know if you know in advance the data values or not, but it doesn't really matter. Suppose the horizontal axis is a LinearAxis. keep hold of the data max value along this axis for later use (say max_data_value), then do
LinearAxis(chart.horizontalAxis).maximum = max_data_value * [the percentage worked out from the scroll bar]

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

Bar/Line Chart in IR 9.3.1 how do i change bar widths

I have a chart with 3 bar and a single line. The problem I am having is that the bar exceed the interval space. The intervals are based on month and the bar overlap into the next internal. How can I reduce the bar width so it fits within the single interval?

The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or url hover previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.

Plot empty point in line chart with previous non empty value

Hello,
I have a problem to plot series data in SSRS line chart, with the empty point, I don't want use average and zero provided by the report builder, I want use the last non empty data to fill the empty point, tried to use expression =Previous(Field!Value), no
luck, any one have some good idea?
P.S. do not want to use query to fill the null with previous non null value, just from the performance point view. at last , the chart should have some line as square wave with different height, if I use average for empty point, it shows slop wave line which
is not reflect the real production.
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
In Reporting Services, if the chart type is a linear chart type (bar, column, scatter, line, area, range), null values are shown on the chart as empty spaces or gaps between data points in a series. By default, empty points are calculated by taking the average
of the previous and next data points that are not null.
If we want to use previous value to replace the empty value, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the field which displayed in Y axis (Height) to open the Series Properties.
In the Value field to modify the expression to look like this:
=iif(isnothing(Sum(Fields!Height.Value)),previous(sum(Fields!Height.Value)),sum(Fields!Height.Value))
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Problem creating line chart with character data

CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
CR Developer v. 11.5.0.313
I want to create a line chart with data from a SQL2K table to show how much server time each application uses per day. All data is defined a character.

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....

Malformed svg with Line Chart and empty results on ApEx 3.0

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing problems here at our local ApEx installation:
If I add a line chart using a query that returns an empty result, for example,
SELECT 1 link, 2 label, 3 value FROM dual WHERE 1=2;
I get a malformed svg, and Firefox (2.0) does not display the chart but an error message.
I traced the error and found that the "no data found"-text to be displayed has a syntactical error:
<svg width="600" height="400" viewBox="-5 -5 600 400" preserveAspectRatio="none"> <text class="nodatafound" x="40" y="20">No data found.</text></g></svg>
The <g>-tag is closed although never opened. So the SVG-engine in Firefox behaves right by throwing an error message. However, internet explorer with the Adobe-plugins seems to ignore the tag and displays the correct svg image.
If using a different type of chart (i've tested with the vertical bars), the error does not occur, neither does it when the result is not empty. I've noticed though, that
the line chart seems to have problems if only one row is returned, it then
displays an empty graph.
Has anyone had the same kind of problem or is able to reproduce it, so I could file a bug report to Oracle?
Any help is appreciated,
Marc
PS: I use ApEx 3.0.0.00.20 on Oracle 9i

How can i debug ? Is anything helpful reported in the iAS logfiles?

Issues with Line Chart

APEX 4
Anychart 5
If I create a new chart region, specify a 2D Line chart, and format my query everything seems to work well. If I add a new data series the chart becomes a 2D Column Chart. I simply want two lines graphed. Once the chart is displayed as a column chart, I cannot get it to display as a Line again unless I delete the object and reconstruct it. I have tried changing it to a 2D column, 2D bar, 3d bar, etc and then change it back to a 2D Line chart and it will only display as a column chart. Anybody else seen this behavior? Anybody got an explination?

Hi Austin,
The default setting of the "Series Type" value to correspond with the selected Chart Type, in your case a Line chart, has been resolved as part of a fix for bug 10205497. The fix will be available in our upcoming 4.0.2 patch release. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.

Hilary
