Creating a pie chart from a list of indicators

Hello:
I'm working with WebIntelligence XI R2 and I have created a table that displays a list of indicators:
Indicator 1   15
Indicator 2   35
Indicator 3   40
Indicator 4   10
The problem is that I want to create a pie chart from this table but it seems that Webi is unable to convert a list of numbers in a pie chart.
Is there any workaround to make this chart, without having to change the universe? ( I suppose that if I convert the four indicators into a single dimension it will be possible, but I would like to avoid that).
Thanks in advance and regards,
Joaquín Castellano

Please disregard. i went back to the original blog code and started over, and figured this out.

How to create a pie chart from a pop-up menu in Numbers?

I would like to be able to select a persons name from the Pop-up menu in the E column to chose who has bought an item. I would then like to create a pie chart showing how much money each person has spent on buying the items and have this update automatically. I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Costs per person, with "Ali & Baker" as a separate entity (since no provision for separating costs)
The formula is this:
=SUMIFS($Cost, $Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?, $Bought?, "=TRUE")
The reasoning is:
Sum all Costs, if the following conditions are true:
$Who Bought it?, "="&$Who Bought it?
Group items in the 'Who Bought it? column that match the item in the same row as the formula.
$Bought?, "=TRUE"
Only include items that have actually been bought.
Screenshot
I have highlighted the selected cell in red.
The coloured columns show which ones are relevant to the formula.
To create the totals, I added Footer rows to the table.
You could make a separate table if you prefer.
To create the pie chart, I selected just the costs in the footer rows, and clicked on Charts.

When copying a Pie Chart from one Excel tab to a new Excel tab, the chart data is still referring to the original table

Hi,
In Excel 2007, I have a pie chart on sheet 1. I want to make a copy of the pie chart from sheet 1 and past into sheet 2, and change the table data in sheet 2 to get new chart recalculated based on new table values in sheet 2.
However, the chart in sheet 2 is still pointing to the table data in sheet 1.
All the cells in sheet 1 have relative cells.
Please advise.
Thanks - Bijan

Hello Wind,
As teylyn suggested:
"An Excel chart is hard-wired to its data source. You can copy and paste a chart to a different sheet and it will still refer to the initial source data."
So I did create the template and used in my 2nd tab which worked perfectly. However, I had an issue with merged cells which I am using for my data, and tylyn suggested that I provide the excel file that I am working with, and I did.
So now I need help as how to make merged cells work when I try to create a pie chart from template based on new data (which reside in mergerd cells).
P.S. I cannot resize my cells to make the data and labels fit into one call, so I have to have merged cells.
Thanks
Bijan

Creating a pie chart based on Pop-up Menu in Numbers

I would like to be able to select a persons name from the Pop-up menu in the F column to chose who has bought an item. I would then like to create a pie chart showing how much money each person has spent on buying the items and have this update automatically. I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1) make sure the pop-up has all the people in the list before you start.
2) eter the data in the table as you have shown then
3) add a new summary table (called "Summary"). Let's assume your existing table is titled "LOUNGE".
Add a new column (G) to your existing table, titled "Lounge":
G2=IF(ISBLANK(F2), "",IF(IFERROR(MATCH(F2, $F$1:F1, 0), 0)=0, MAX($G$1:G1)+1, ""))
select G2 and fill down as needed
Now make a new table (and call it "Summary"):
the first row and first column are headers.
A2=IF(ROW()-1<=MAX(Lounge :: G), OFFSET(Lounge :: $F$2, SMALL(Lounge :: G, ROW()-1)-1, 0, 1, 1), "")
select A2 and fill down as needed
B2=IF(LEN(A2)>0, SUMIF(Lounge :: F, "="&A2, Lounge :: D), "")
select B2 and fill down as needed
now select the cells B2 thu the end of the column then select the pie chart from the charts menu

Keep pie chart from shrinking due to long labels outside of chart

I was wondering is there a way to keep my pie chart from shrinking when I have labels outside of the chart that are long? Is there an option to wrap the labels, or dynamically shrink the font size of the labels, or both, so that my pie chart doesn't
have to be shrunk?
Please provide details on how this is done if you know how. Thanks.

Hi jiwalkersm,
According to your description, you want to avoid your pie chart shrinking when the label outside is too long. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we want to always keep the pie chart size, we can set Docks into Default in Legend Properties, and let the legend not to show outside of chart. This will keep the position and size of the chart, but the legend will stay above the
chart which is not good for view. So we try to use expression to set font size in Legend Properties. However, we don’t have any function which can make the label wrapped. So we can only set font size based on the length of the label (For example: =IIF(Len(Field!Name.Value)>10,”5pt”,”8pt”)).
If this workaround still can’t be effective, we suggest you delete the legend, and create a tablix next to the chart, put the data into it.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Pie chart from Largest slice of another pie chart.

Greetings!
I'm trying to come up with a method which will allow me to create a pie chart of the subgroups from the largest slice of an existing pie chart. The "parent" pie chart will change depending upon the parameters given in the report.
declare @dataTable table (category varchar(10), task varchar(10), timeSeconds int)
insert into @dataTable (category, task, timeSeconds)
values
('Alpha','Scrub',100),
('Alpha','Sweep',100),
('Alpha','Polish',100),
('Bravo','Wash',200),
('Bravo','Dry',200),
('Bravo','Fold',200),
('Charlie','Paint',300),
('Charlie','Sand',300),
('Charlie','Spackle',300)
In this example, when a pie chart is produced, Charlie would have the largest slice. I then want to produce a pie chart showing only the tasks contained within the Charlie category, but which has the flexibility to render if the Alpha or Bravo groups are
the largest slice next time.
Thanks

For anyone else attempting the same thing: I wound up bringing in a reference to the largest slice using a subquery in the initial query, and using that column as a filter on the second pie chart.
I was hoping for a solution from within SSRS itself, but settled on that. I'll leave the question open in the hope someone knows how to achieve the same result from within SSRS.

3D Pie chart from Excel to labview

Hi every one,
How can I Import a 3D pie chart from Excel to labview ?
Thx

There is no direct import mechanism for that. You would need to re-create the pie chart in LabVIEW, as LabVIEW has different 3D graphs than Excel. You would need to get the data out of Excel and use the 3D graphs to draw it. As for getting the data out of Excel, there have been numerous posts on reading data from Excel using ActiveX - just search for "read excel labview". You can also find many links to lots of other examples in the Excel thread. Please note: the Excel thread is a repository of links. Do not post a question in that thread.

Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

Hello,
I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
Thanks,
Pedro

Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

Anybody successfully created a Pie-chart?

I have tried with all the default options and keep getting
an "x"( the one that's shown by browser when it can't find an image file).
I understand the fact that Pie-Charts are still in Beta.
But at least they should work to have a successful look at them.
Or am I missing some important settings in Apache/Portal/Admin
that are masking this output?
These charts are one of the important criteria for us to continue using Portal.
Thank you verymuch.
Madhav

Hi Madhav ,
I agree with you
Pie charts is a beta version even in 3.0.9 .It is not possible to create the pie chart(you can create other charts) .If some body has any version more than 3.0.9 ,i don't know .the only way to show up pie charts may be to use seperate table and up load the pie charts and view them ,but not through the regular create components way.
Thanks

<img src="pieservlet?param1=<%=x%>&param2=<%=y%>&..." width="100" height="100" >
can you give me some guide?

Hai ,
I have implemented a trial working pie chart , dynamically created from jsp using ServletOutputStream , BufferedImage & JPEGImageEncoder (found in com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* package & bundled along with jdk ) .
<%
ServletOutputStream sout = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(400,400,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D gr = img.createGraphics();
/* Actually this will be got as values of request.getParameter */
Vector values = new Vector();
values.addElement(new String("45") );
values.addElement(new String("125") );
values.addElement(new String("75") );
values.addElement(new String("25") );
values.addElement(new String("90") );
// my demo class
temp.pieChart fr = new temp.pieChart(400,400,values);
/* This pieChart is class extends JFrame , in paint method of it all Drawing of pie chart using graphics2D fillArc done */
fr.paint(gr);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(sout);
encoder.encode(img);
sout.flush();

Error while creating a Pie Chart

Hi Experts,
I have prepared a spreadsheet in Web Analysis in which two dimensions are appearing in Rows, one dimension in Columns and one dimension in Page View.
When I convert this spreadsheet into a Pie Chart, or any other chart for that matter, no data is displayed. If I remove one dimension from Rows to POV, data starts appearing in the chart. But it is not a relevant chart as the data shown in it is not in the format in which it is required.
Kindly help in resolving this issue.
Regards,
SYR

Hi Sa'ad
Its been a little while since I used Web Analysis but I remember that there are issues if you have more than 1 dimension in rows or columns. What I cannot remember is whether it automatically shifts a dimension to the page or whether as you suggest it just doesn't display.
Pie charts can only display data from two dimensions (1 rows, 1 columns), you can filter using dimensions on pages. If that doesn't give you what you need then I'm afraid you need to stick to a different chart type.
Hope this helps
Stuart

How can I create a Pie charts ?

HI all,
I'm a beginner in java and i'm investigate in a web project (website) which should display statistical charts.

That's why i need help to put me on the rigth way to build Pie Charts beans (this pie charts should be filled up with db query).
Every kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hope someone can help me.

I take it you constructed the bar graphs using html and images together?
Obviously it's a little more difficult to make a pie chart with html. Chances are that it will have to be an image rendered by a Servlet or JSP. I suggest looking at how to create images using AWT or swing. This will allow you to create a circle with different color slices and what not. Then you need a Servlet or JSP that will send the image out the output stream. You can then place an image tag in your html page like this <img src="http://myserver.com/PieChartServlet>
I'm actually working on an API myself that will render pretty histograms (line graphs), and hopefully pie charts down the road. It's going to be an open source project. I decided to make my own API when I looked at some others out there who were charging an arm and a leg for theirs. Chart Builder for example, it's like $6K for their java based API <choke>.
So if you're interested, or anyone else is, shoot me an email and I'll let you know when the beta is ready. [email protected]
