CR in VS2005: Line Chart Date Axis

I believe this is posted in correct place:
I have line chart that is displaying daily data. I want to display a month worth of data with each day's data point plotted.
The X axis is a system.datetime of the day for the data (actually group label); I have formatted this to mm/dd/yyyy in the format editor. My graph X axis labels are overwritting each other and I can not see how to 'scale' x axis labels to prevent this.
In reviewing similar existing posts I see reference to options that do not appear to be available in Net VS2005 (recently updated CR and VS).
Is this limitation of VS version of CR or am I doing something wrong ?
Thank You, fd

Thank You for your reply. I belive that I may still be limited by version in visual studio 2005 (CR updated to 10.2.3600).
When I right click on any object in graph I am presented with list 'Format Object' (border of chart, keep object togeather, etc), 'Chart Expert' (very limited selections: show grid, title text, etc) and 'Chart Options' (again very limited selections: Template,General,Titles,Grid). In the grid section chart options there is indeed a "data axis", "numbers" formatting section that allows for formatting as date but not any alignment etc.
I am not adverse to purchasing an added CR designer but would like to clearly understand advantages. It is also of concern that this "date" x axis should be treated as an x-y plot rather than the dates being used simply as labels.

How to convert from line chart data to CSV format

Hi ,
I am using Flex 3 and AS.
I am getting data from MS SQL and display the data as line
chart this is ok.
But i want to convert this line chart data to CSV or .xsl
format.I find one example in fourms the from data grid to CSV
For this URL is
http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/datagriddataexporter.php
But i want Line chart to CSV.Please help me.

Line chart is a just a visual representation of some data
that's sitting in your database. Isn't it? You load this in Flex,
probably using HTTPService class, and pass it to some chart object.
Now when use says that she needs it in CSV format, you're
gonna have to send another request to the server to produce the
same data, convert into CSV or XLS format and let user download it.
Of course, if use doesn't want to download, you don't have to
go to the server, at least for CSV format. You can convert the same
data that used plot the chart to convert to CSV.
Am I missing something here?

Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

Hi Guys,
     In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted. Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
     And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
     Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series. The solution is at this link:

Line Chart X Axis Not Sorted Correctly

I have created a line chart where the x axis is date closed and the y axis is number of days to close. This chart is placed within a group called priority.
When the chart is created the close dates are not on the x axis in ascending order. I'm expecting it to be 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc. but instead I'm getting 10/6, 10/31, 10/28, etc. from left to right.
I've got the Record Sort set to closed date ascending and if I place the records into the report they sort correctly. It's just the chart that sorts incorrectly.
What am I missing here?

Hi Jason,
here is the steps you should follow in order ro set the sorting for barchart.
1. go to chart expert
2. click on data tab
3. select the field in the selected list of report columns on which you have to sort, then the order button will be enabled
4. click on the order button
5 it will open new window by name "chart sort order", where you can set the sorting order(ascending order, descending order, specified order or the original order) for the selected report column.
I hope this will help you..

Line Charts - X-axis Labels as function of X-axis value

Hi,
1) Is there a way to put X-Axis labels in line chart as function of X-axis values ?
For instance, X-axis values are in minutes and I need to show those as Hours.
I'm having Hours as separate column as well, but when its selected as X-axis value column, the line graph is disturbed.
2) Also, how to specify the length/range of X-axis ?
For instance, in dataset if I've x-axis values from 0 to 5 hours but still want to show on graph the X-axis till 8 hours.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
I have tried following things with proper datetime format may be help you.
1> in your applet code you can add below param
<PARAM NAME="XAxisDateFormat" VALUE="H">
it will display your levels in hours for more details please refer Date and Time Format under query template in MII help.
2>In your Query template under date range you can select duration and duration unit.
for 8 hour span you can select Duration = 8 and in duration unit = H
I have tested it for a tag query, may be i did not understand your issue properly but hope it helps you!!!

Line chart x-axis label overloaded with labels

Hi,
I have a Line chart filled by a large resultset (hundreds of rows). Each row contains a decimal value and a timestamp. The interval between timestamps is short so it is impossible to plot every single date/time in the x-axis label because there is no space.
I would like to hide the the x-axis label for most rows and plot this label for each x rows. Something like this:
18/12/2009 09:00            18/12/2009 10:00           18/12/2009 11:00            18/12/2009 12:00
        |---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
In the previous x-axis example there are many timestamps between 18/12/2009 09:00 and 18/12/2009 10:00 but they are not plotted in the chart. It is possible to do something like this in MII charts?
Thank you,

Hi,
I think Michael is right about the Ticks per label parameter. Looks like it is not working for me because the chart data binding is not behaving as expected.
The chart rowset is composed by two fields: decimal and date time. The date time field is already converted to string. The rowset comes from a BLS transaction.
I think this forum has no support for file upload so I will add links to the xMII workbench screenshots so you guys can see my chart/query configuration.
This is the XACUTE Query used by the chart: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/xacute_config.PNG

When I run the chart I get this result: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart1.PNG
As you can see the chart has no X-Axis labels ans I need to add the date/time to the X-axis. If I add the field to "X-Axis label columns" the field values are ploted but the parameter "Ticks per label" is ignored and hundreds of labels are ploted together and is impossible to read them. I think the "Ticks per label" parameter only works for fields added to Labels columns (in data mapping). The problem I am facing is: when I add the date field (http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/data_mapping2.PNG) to Label columns I get an empty chart like this: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart2.PNG
What am I doing wrong?

Charts data axis scaling problem

Post Author: rameshp
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi ,
I work on crystal reports XI.
I'm facing problem regarding scaling data axis. I have illustrated that in the following lines:
case1) if i have high values (sum of bytes) like more than 600 etc. its scaling data axis from 0 to say 1000.
case 2) if i have low values like 0,1 (bytes) then its scaling from -4 to say 6 .
I don't want negative values on data axis . I want from 0 to max. So what's the better way to do this using chart expert.
Your suggestion is highly appreciated !
Thanks,
Ramesh.

satwar,
There is no "trick", we're just victims of the limitation that WebI has in portraying XYZ type charts to our better liking. I submitted a request to Business Objects Tech Support in Oct 2006 and became the proud holder of two ADAPTs:
ADAPT00676587 u2013 for the scaling issueADAPT00676609 u2013 for the stacked bar chart, line graph issue
When fully implemented, the scaling for Y and Z should be able to correspond to each other. For instance, max value of Y and max value of Z will set on both scales the same max value. I don't discourage you from submitting a trouble-ticket, perhaps if they get more noise on this situation they'll resolve my (our) ADPAT sooner, but just hoping....

SSRS 2008: Line chart Y-Axis scale issue

Hi All,
After search of one week, finally decided to put my question in front of you all. Hope I will get some outcome from it.
Currently I am working on Line Chart. Following is the data which I need to bind to line chart.
    JobStartDate JobStartTime   JobEndTime
    1/1/2015       01.00            02.30
    1/2/2015       01.02            03.20
    1/3/2015       01.01            03.40
    1/4/2015       01.05            02.00
    1/5/2015       22.03            23.30
    1/6/2015       22.05            23.40
So, In above scenario Line chart looks like:
      11.00 PM |                          /////////
      10.00 PM |                          ..........
      ........ |
      04.00 AM |              /
      03.00 AM |    / /
      02.00 AM | /                /
      01.00 AM | .....................
      12.00 AM |______________________________________________
               1/1/15 1/2/15 1/3/15 1/4/15 1/5/15 1/6/15
But it should be like :
      04.00 AM |                /
      03.00 AM |     / /
      02.00 AM | /                /
      01.00 AM |   .....................
      12.00 AM |
      11.00 PM |
      10.00 PM |
      09.00 PM |______________________________________________
                    1/1/15 1/2/15 1/3/15 1/4/15 1/5/15 1/6/15
(Sorry As cant upload the image. So, Tried to show as above.)
In above figure (.) is StartTime and (/) is EndTime.
You can see that I am facing the problem of Y-Axis scaling.
Hope everyone understand my problem. Please let me know more explanation.

Hi Prashant Khadatkar,
As per my understanding, you created a line chart, you added JobStartTime and JobEndTime to values area, and added JobStartDate to category groups. You want to display data of y axis from PM to AM. In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, I
need to ask several questions:
What’s the data type of JobStartTime and JobEndTime?
Is the data stored in database the same as you provided?
What’s the state of report now? Please provide some more detailed information of the report. I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and screenshot of the report.
This may be a lot of information to ask for at one time. However, by collecting this information now, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

Web Application Designer (Line Charts-Data Points)

Hi
I have to display the query in WEB as a Line Chart
The Query is on Cal Day Vs Mean Value
The user enter the Cal Day (From/To)..the Line chart is supposed to display mean Value on No of Cal Days users choosed.
In query created variable for Cal Day..but how can i define the Data Points for the chart in the Web designer.
Bydefault we have to specift no of data points we required..how can i change that to be based on the range user entered
Than ks

Hi Krishna,
When you define a chart, you define a number of series, but when you run the WAD, it takes the number of series it has the query.

Line Chart - date format

Hi,
i have some troubles with a "normal" line-chart. (graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS")
The data is something like that:
xvalue           yvalue
01.01.2006     100
02.01.2006     101
03.01.2006     102
04.01.2006     101
01.02.2006     102
02.02.2006     102
03.02.2006     101
01.03.2006     100
02.03.2006     99
03.03.2006     101
I define the chart with:
groups="xvalue" dataValues="yvalue"
worked fine, BUT:
I had to change the date-format from dd.mm.yyyy to "only" mm/yy.
Now just 1 yvalue of every xvalue-group is displayed - the chart has only the following points:
xvalue          yvalue
01/06          100
02/06          102
03/06          100
Does anybody know a solution where every point is shown just with the other date-format?

Change your default system date format.

Line charts: data point symbol resize?

I'm working with charts in Pages and would like to be able to have a greater variety of lines in my line chart. In addition to selecting the data point symbol (square, circle, etc), I wish I could resize that symbol. I know I can resize the line width from the Graphic tab of the Inspector.
Is there a way to shrink the data point symbol from the Inspector? From anywhere?

If I understand your question, this from the Pages online help may give the answer:
To mark line, area, and scatter charts with data point symbols:
Select the entire chart. You can also select the chart series (the line or area shape) that you want to mark with data point symbols.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart Inspector button.
Click Series (except for scatter charts).
Choose a symbol from the Data Point Symbol pop-up menu.
Choose one of the following options from the Symbol Fill pop-up menu:
To fill the symbol with the same color as its outline, choose Use Stroke Color.
To fill the symbol with a solid color, choose Color Fill, click the Fill color well, and pick a color.
To fill the symbol with a gradient, choose Gradient Fill and use the gradient controls to set the colors and change the angle of the gradient.
To fill the symbol with an image, choose Image Fill and select the image you want. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.
To fill the symbol with a tinted image, choose Tinted Image Fill and select the image you want. Click the color well to the right of the Choose button to change the tint color. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.

Chart Data Axis (Y) Scale - keep constant over groups, dynamic for report

Crystal XI
I want to chart how many transactions there are at a teller, showing number of transactions per hour, with a separate chart for each day in a range that the user specifies at run time through paramaters.
So I group on date at report level, and make my chart on change of hour show count of transactions, and that works.
But using autoscale, EACH CHART is scaled on the Y axis, so for a day that has a peak of 5 tx per hour, that hour reaches top of chart, where next day, there is an hour with 100 tx. So you can't tell at a glance that day 2 was busier than day 1.
I like the auto scale, but I'd like it to consider the report for the scaling. Is there a way to do that? Or do some chart types let me do it and others don't? (I've looked at Bar and Area charts)
I can't use a fixed scale, because different customers have wildly different typical numbers. (I could use a dynamically calculated fixed scale, but I don't see that that's an option) If there's a way to use a formula for the data scale, I'm missing it, and that would probably solve my problem.
Assuming I'm out of luck there - I can change the query as necessary, and I suspect I'm giong to have to use some gimmick like chart my maximum value in invisible ink, if someone's been down the road and knows a solution, if you can give me a quick hint on that, I'd appreciate it.

If all else fails, you can do this easily with our CRChart add-in using the @SC family of macros which allow you to set the Y-Axis scale min/max dynamically (i.e. map them to a field or formula at runtime).

Data Disappears from Line Chart in Preview Mode

Help! Line chart data present in design mode, but disappears when in preview mode. I have a dashboard that I update monthly. Simple line charts. Now, the line chart data is visible while in the design view, but does not show up when in the preview view or even when converting it to a PDF or Powerpoint. SWF issue? Inputs are needed!
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
The answer to, why the data disappears in runtime mode, depends on how you retrieve the data in your dashboard.
It seems that you have some sample static data in your spreadsheet that shown in design mode. But chances are that this data is set to be overwritten in runtime mode, if you import your data using QAAWS, Live Office or similar.
I would suggest you to add a "spreadsheet table" component (found in the bottom of the Selectors category in the components browser) to your dashboard. Set the spreadsheet table to display some of the cells in the spreadsheet that you expect to get populated during runtime.
In this way you can verify if data is actually present in the relevant cells during runtime.
By the way - this is also a best practice method to test data-retrieval in Xcelsius.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Simon

SSAS2008 r2 and Excel Line Chart and Date Axis

Hi
Excel 2010. SSAS 2008 R2
I have a excel line chart made out from SSAS pivot table with a date dimension (date) and No of licences.
Currently, it displays 1/Jun/2014 to 30/Jun/2015 (FY2015) and this looks really ugly.
While keeping the details, I'd like to display by Month-Year.
However, while I can do this with other normal excel data, I just can not do it with SSAS Pivot table.
Under Axis options, I ticked 'Date axis' but it won't bring up date options.
I think I tried everything but just can not figure it out. I wonder if it is even possible.
Th date dimension is recognised as date because I can apply date filter. I want to make it neat. Can anyone help me with this please?
It must be 'Date' Level.
Kind regards

Hi SQLMa,
Could you please elaborate more detail regarding the "Date" dimension structure? In order to display the date format with Month-Year, we should build a hierarchy to organize the granularity of date dimension at SSAS level. Please
refer to the documents below:
Create a Date type Dimension:
