CR Enterprise - Custom y-axis labels for line chart

Hi
I have data with a discrete status (STATUS-1...STATUS-5) per day, like
Feb 1: STATUS-1
Feb 2: STATUS-2
Feb 3: STATUS-2
Feb 4: STATUS-1
Feb 30: STATUS-4
Feb 31: STATUS-1
This series I'd like to render in a date axis line chart with the daily status ordinals (1-5) on the y-axis.
Now I wonder how I can label the y-axis ticks with the respective STATUS text instead of the ordinal.
Unfortunately, the option "Total (Y) Axis/Axis/AxisLabels/Display Label" is disabled due to the value's numeric nature.
How can I manually overwrite y-axis labels or map them to custom text?
Thanks. Jens

HI Jens,
Have you tried creating a formula and using that in 'Show Values' section of the chart?
Formula:
"STATUS-" & {Numeric_field}

Problem in editing legend label of line chart

Hi,
I am using crystal 2008 and deploying reports in Java appilication.
I have a report with line chart in group header. I am using formulae for 'Show value' field. So legend shows it as @formula1
I couldnt change this is design mode, so i went to preview mode and used 'edit axis label' for each of the chart.
Now i can see proper legend labels in my crystal 2008. But when i deploy the report in java application, chart still shows @formula1 .... any idea on why my changes are not displayed in crystalviewer?
Thanks

This is tricky... and somehow you won't find it in manual.
After the change of Axis Label, right click on Chart Area. You will see new option "Apply Changes to All Charts". Choose this option and voila - You owe me a bottle

Vertical axis labels on column chart

I'm trying to get the x-axis labels oriented vertically on a 3D column chart, so that the labels don't overlap each other. With 2D column charts I can do this via "format>chart>format x-axis" but these options are grayed out with the 3D column chart. Is there any way to get vertical orientation on the axis labels with this chart type???

It's usually not necessary to make the axis labels vertical to keep them from overlapping in a 3D chart since when you rotate the chart the labels are vertically offset. But you're right, there's no other control for this.

X axis labels for custom group names

I have a report with one group. That group has a customized group name field, and the group name is a formula. When I display the group name in the data section of the report, it displays according to the formula.
I now need to chart two pieces of data - Primary # of Sales and Secondary # of Sales - for that group so I can compare the two # of sales. If I make a chart for the Primary # of Sales, and go to the group tab in the Chart Expert and specify "on change of Group By Value (my grouping), show the sum of the Primary # of Sales", the chart displays as desired, and I see the custom group name (formula) as the X axis label.
But if I go to the Advanced Layout on the Data tab of the Chart expert and specify the Sum of Primary # of Sales AND Sum of Secondary # of Sales in the Show Values section, the X axis label no longer shows the custom group name; it shows the group value.
Any ideas for how to get it to show the custom group name when I chart two fields of data?
Thanks in advance!

Adding custom axis titles for Bubble Chart

How to add custom axis titles (for each group of axis values) as shown in the attached figure to a bubble chart ?
- Sen

I'm trying to do essentially the same thing with a LineChart and I think I've got part of it figured out.
I've subclassed CategoryAxis and overridden reduceLabels to return only certain labels (the "group" labels). Then I create a new axis by adding a LineSeries to the chart's <series> element with the new axis within the LineSeries. Then I have an AxisRenderer in the chart's horizontalAxisRenderers tag that refers to the new axis from within the LineSeries.
Subclassed axis:
    public class MonthCategoryAxis extends CategoryAxis
        public function MonthCategoryAxis()
            super();
        override public function reduceLabels(intervalStart:AxisLabel, intervalEnd:AxisLabel):AxisLabelSet
            var currentLabels:AxisLabelSet = this.getLabels(0); // Param is ignored by super class
            var newLabels:Array = []; // Labels to keep
            var label:AxisLabel;
            var previousLabel:AxisLabel;
            for (var i:int = 0; i < currentLabels.labels.length; i++)
                label = currentLabels.labels[i];
                if (i == 0) // Keep the first label
                    newLabels.push(label);
                else if (label.value.month != previousLabel.value.month)
                    // Only keep a label if the previous label has a different month
                    newLabels.push(label);
                previousLabel = label;
            // Return a new AxisLabelSet with just the labels we want
            var newLabelSet:AxisLabelSet = new AxisLabelSet();
            newLabelSet.labels = newLabels;
            return newLabelSet;
New series to create the subclassed axis in.
            <mx:LineSeries>
                <mx:horizontalAxis>
                    <charts:MonthCategoryAxis id="MonthAxis" labelFunction="calendarMonthAxisLabelFunction"/>

Stacked bar chart with custom x axis labels

Is there a way to build this simple chart in labview that I did in Excel? I need to have many x axis labels and there could be from 5 to 100 of them depending on the data set.

Hi id,
Thank you for your response. I hope you are doing well.
There is an example in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples..). It is titled, Stacked Bar Graph. You can search for it if you switch tabs in the Example Finder window. This should help you create a stacked bar graph. To help you with your veritcal axis labels, here is a knowledge base link that details the process:

Rename cursor axis label for a XY Graph

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.2 and would like to relabel the axis of the cursor legend for a XY graph. Presently the cursor lengend contains X (for the X axis) and Y for the (Y axis). I would like to be able to rename the labels of the X and Y axis of the cursor lengend to give the user a more accurate description of the axis labels.
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The changes that were made changed the names of the cursors, not the name of the X and Y axis. Think of it this way suppose that I have a X Y graph of Frequency (on the X axis) and Amplitude (on the Y axis). I create a cursor on the graph and move it around the waveform to examine the characterictics of the signal. When I move the cursor I would like the see the frequency and amplitude where the cursor is at on the signal. Right now the user has to remember (not to difficult) to figure out that the X axis is frequency and the Y axis is amplitude.
So I would like to be able to rename the header of the cursor location from X to Frequency and Y to Amplitude.
Regards,
Kaspar

Getting BEx query header data into Xcelsius for line chart Category Labels?

Hello - Is it possible to get header data from BEx queries into Xcelsius so they can be used for Category Labels in a line chart?
We have a BEx query that displays 16 weeks of shipment trends by column and text variables are used to display the respective date selection for each of the weeks in the query header but When connecting QaaWs to Xcelsius, the header row does not get displayed.
When using LiveOffice, the header row seems to come thru with the correct dates for each of the weeks but if you are stacking more than one connection than you will get an extra header row for each connection.
Are there any tricks to hide a header row in a LiveOffice document?
Is there anyway to display the header row from QaaWs in Xcelsius?
Any other work arounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Derek,
Below are my inputs...
-->Using QAAWS you will not be able to get the header data, so you will have to maintain header data manually in Xcelsius (Spreadsheet).
-->Using Live office you will be able to get the header data, and if you are using multiple live office connections, then you need to use cell reference formulas and format the spreadsheet (Xcelsius) as you require.

Colours for Line Chart

I am trying to create comparative line charts for yearly data over at least a decade (i.e. at least 10 individual lines on one chart).
Any lines over six don't print. The unprinted lines have a colour allocated against them in the associated table, but not in the chart legend - the labels do appear in the legend.
I have been trying to manipulate the Chart Colours… (which does appear to be restricted to six) without any success.
(P.S. For any American readers - my spelling corrector is automatically inserting the 'u' in colours.)

You may dislike it if you wish (we are free) but this will not change the program design.
However you can have the medal if you tell me how to superpose charts - I can't find that in the Users Guide.
It was described here many times.
(1) build the two charts
(2) strip every titles, legends,… from one of them
(3) adjust the min and max values if necessary (on both axis)
(4) select the chart which you strip then from the format bar define its background to none so it will be transparent.
(5) drag the 'transparent' chart above the 'complete' one.
If you don't group them, they will remain 'living' charts which will evolve with changes in datas.
I didn't checked but I assume that grouping them will freeze them.
If the medal is made of TRUE chocolate, I'm interested.

Change the Axis Labels of a Chart

The Chart-Series are generate through AS (Multiple PlotSeries and 1 LineSeries). I managed to Update the Visuell Areas (in this example to manipulate Vertical Axis (minimum/maximum values to be shown).
No I have 3 Questions about to manipulate this Chart with AS3:
I would like to remove nearly all "Ticks" and "Labels" from the Axis. At the End only the min/max and 0-Label-Value on the vertical Axis should be displayed. And on the vertical Axis, I would like only to have the min/max-Label and 100-Value.
The Chart-Lines (in the Screen above) only 2 Lines should be visible. v-Axis = 100 and x-Axis=0 (just as a Cross over the Chart)
The Linear Serie (just a Value of a Funktion like x=y*2) should have no Tooltip if you go MouseOver-it. And the Legend of this Serie should not be displayed in the Legend. How can I delete the Legend, and how can I preserve a DataTip over this LineSerie?
Hopefully you did understand my bad english.
Thanks for any Tips
Pawel

Hi,
1. IAxis interface have labelFunction (see docs for details and parameters for it). You can check the value to be labeled and return empty string if you don't want to show this value in axis. Axis you get from chart.getAxis(name). But there is not any warranty that always 0 will be shown. You showl implement your own IAxis to show only specific values. (Or search it in internet)
2. You should remove all these grid lines and create CartasianDataCanvas this lines at 0 and 100 and put it to annotationElements of the chart.
3. If you don't want to see all data from chart in Legend you should create an array with legend data only from serieses you want to see. Chart has a property legendData from all serieses. You can filter this array or create new array with legendData from serieses you want to see. And set this array as a dataProvider to Legend.
Hope, this helpful.

Manipulating custom measure variable inside a line chart

Hie Guys,
I have a line chart in my report that contains 2 custom measure variables & 1 measure object from the Universe in the Y axis and one dimension object - "Month" in the X axis.
Formula for the custom measure variables are -
If [Month] = "Jan" Then 45
ElseIf [Month] = "Feb" Then 65
ElseIf [Month] = "Mar" Then 88
And so on..........
Now, I have an input control in the report for "Project Type" (Development & Improvement)
I want the chart to behave as described below.
If (Project Type = "Development") Then only display measure object 1 in the chart
If (Project Type = "Improvement") Then only display measure object 2 in the chart.
Right now, the input controls are displaying all measure objects in the chart when I click on them.
Is there a way I can get the above mentioned functionality in my report? I am using Business Objects 4.0 SP6.
Could anyone please help me solve the problem? Thanks.

Hi,
Add Two Line Charts in Report one with [Measure Object 1]
& another with [Measure Object 2] .
Now Create Variable for User Selection .
Selection = ReportFilter([Project Type])
Now in Hide When Property of chart (Right Click on Chart --> Format Chart )

Help! extremely small labels in Line Chart

Hi all,
I met a problem that i've been working on for a long time.
If the SQL returned too many rows (e.g. 200+) to generate the Line Chart, the X/Y axis Labels would be too small to be recognised.
I tried whatever i can imagine, like generating much fewer labels in the PL/SQL and using a font-size 30+...
So far, so bad.
Any suggestion???
Thanks you so much!!!!

Hi,
Actually, there are many possible causes for this issue. Could you please tell me how the category labels come from? In other words, why are they all
the same? I would like to suggest you post some sample data and your chart settings here. I have created a report with chart which has duplicate horizontal axis labels. To achieve your purpose, I hide all horizontal axis labels, and then use horizontal axis
title instead of horizontal axis labels. I have uploaded my report as an example:
With duplicate horizontal axis labels:
http://cid-854fa6d2b7d88cc7.office.live.com/self.aspx/Work/Old.rdl
No duplicate horizontal axis labels:
http://cid-854fa6d2b7d88cc7.office.live.com/self.aspx/Work/New.rdl
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
