Creating chart with "Time Scale" on group axis

Hello,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Crystal Reports (ver 10.2) and I would like to create a report with a "Date axis line chart". The group axis of the chart should act as a timeline, so I selected "Show Time Scale" in the general options of the group axis. I'll give you a short example of the input data:
It is just a simple table with 2 columns. In the first column there is a timestamp (X/group axis), in the second column an integer value (Y/data axis) that represents a status of something:
col1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . col2
2012-01-01 00:00:00 . . . . 2
2012-01-01 01:00:00 . . . . 1
2012-01-01 09:00:00 . . . . 3
2012-01-02 12:00:00 . . . . 1
.... and so on.
As you can see, the differences between the timestamps are not equal. Therefore I have selected the "Time Scale" option to get the values placed correctly on the timeline. When I execute it, the line is shown correctly, but the group axis has just one label per day. I would like to have one per hour, but I did not find any way to realize it. Is it possible to change the division of the group axis? In the tab "scales" of the options dialog you can only select "Day", "Month" and "Year" for the base unit. Is there any way to change the base unit from day to hour?
Thanks,
Jan

This being more of a design question I asked the CR design guys for some guidance / comment. (BTW., you posted to the correct / prefered forum here as you're using the bundled CR). Anyhow, the answer I got is not particularly encouraging.
We looked at the stand-alone / full version of CR but only confirmed that there is no other options than Day, Month or Year for this type of chart - even in the full CR designer.
Suggestions that did come up:
- Create a SQL Query that generates the missing data. Unfortunately, it would be up to you to figure this out...
- Use the subreport technique to fill the missing time. ( I have attached a sample report with some explanations )
If you have more questions, I'd recommend creating a thread in the [SAP Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum. Quote this thread and see if they can provide further assistance.

Relative Time Scale for X-Axis when creating a Line Graph in CS3?

Is there a way to get the APPROPRIATE RELATIVE scale for the X-Axis (Category) when you're using dates?
Example:
If this is my data set:
                    Group A          Group B
01/03/99                1                5
01/04/99                11                3
01/05/99                6                12
11/27/07                63                54
If I plot this in Xcel, by default, each date (x-axis) will be spaced the same distance apart. However, there is a checkbox to "time-scale" the X-Axis which will place the dates relative to one another. In other words, if we're talking about a bar graph, the first three bars would be close together on the left side of the chart, and the 4th bar would be waaaaaay on the right side of the graph.
So, below, if 'x' is a bar, I keep getting this in CS3:
x     x     x     x
I want to get this:
x x x             x
Get it?

How to limit data range in a Line chart with Time Refresh Control

Hi All,
I have a Line chart with Time Refresh Control and I would like to make some constraints to this navigation.
For example, I would like to limit the user to navigate in a data range of 8 hours.
Is this posible?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pedro,
as far as I know, this is not possible using the time controls on an iChart. However, you may have some success by using your own time controls which call JavaScript methods exposed by the applet.
For example, you could begin by hiding the time and calendar buttons on an iChart, and creating some buttons of your own. For instance, to set the start date of a query (and thus the start date of the iChart using the query), you can use the following:
document.getElementById("appletID").getQueryObject().setStartDate(<date string>);
Using code like the above (look into the xMII script assistant and documentation), you should be able to build time controls which satisfy your requirements. The exact format of <date string> in the sample above will depend on the date format defined in the query template this script calls.
Hope this helps,
Sascha

Can't create events with times between 10:01 and 19:59

I've recently updated to OSX 10.4.9, and now can't create events with times that start with a '1'. This only seems to be a problem on the day British Summer Time begins on 25 March.
I usually create my events in the month view, and input the start and end times by clicking in the time boxes and typing in the hours and minutes. However when I try to put in a start time of, say, 11:00, it puts in 21:00 instead. The only way around this seems to be to put in a time it will accept, like 09:00, and using the arrow keys to move it to the time I want. Or creating the events in the day view and clicking on the start time there.
Any ideas?

Looks like you have found a wee bug. I can replicate it. You could report it though OS X Feedback or better though ADC, but for the latter you have to register first.
I usually create events by double-clicking in week view; often this gets the start time right, but if not then edit the start time in the info pane. Your bug is there with events created in day and week views too.

Project/WBS Created date with Time

Hi,
How to see the Project/WBS Created date *with Time* in PS?
Regards
Sankar

Sankar,
In CJ20N you will not find the creation time as this info is not stored in PRPS.
As a workarround, you can consider checking JCDS. In this table status change documents are stored. The date and time when each status was set and removed is stored.
Just check the date/time when status I0001 Created was set for your WBS element.
Please bear in mind that JCDS will only have entries if status change docs are active for your structures. You can activate the creation in OPSA (project profile)
Hope this helps

How to get list data to Excel to create chart with date filter?

Hi all,
I have to create chart from a custom list in o365 site. There is one column named "Due Date" in my list. I want only those records whose Due Date is today or gone, I mean Due Date <= Today.
How can do it?
I have tried following ways.
I have tried with REST (OData Data Feed) but not able to use Today's date (I mean dynamic) as filter.
I have tried by Export to Excel my view and it is working but if I am uploading my excel file to o365 and refreshing data connection, it is showing error and not working.
NOTE : I cannot user Power BI features like Power Query we have not that licences.
Thanks,
Ritesh
Ritesh Goswami

Hi Ritesh
Not sure if I understood you correctly but what about creating a calculated field which has an if condition like
if([Due Date]<=today(), "past", "future"
and then just filter the 'past' / 'future' column?

How to Create Charts with the variable value

Hi,
I have to create a crystal report in which i have given variable under "Facility:". I have kept two variables under facility of which one is like you can select one or more values and other one u can select only one value and i mentioned it as mandatory.
What i wanted is, I have to create a bar chart based on the facility . I also want to create a pie chart using the value of facility which comes from the mandatory variable.
To be more clear, I selected two facilities, say X & Y under the first variable and one facility, say Z under the second variable (mandatory). I was able to prepare bar chart with these three facilities. Now i want to prepare a pie chart using the value Z.
Can anyone please help me out?

Likely a bug in the ChartBuilders or the JDK.
ScatterChartBuilder.<Number, Number>create().build(); // does not work either.javac is unable to determine if the create() method from SceneChartBuilder or the create() method from RegionBuilder should be applied.
The AxisBuilders which also derive from RegionBuilder work because they don't define their own create method with obscure generic type info.
How can I resolve the ambiguity?new ScatterChart ;-)

Help me out to create column with time format

please help me to find the query to Create a table with 3 columns and insert the following data

As already said by Hans and Hoek: you should get rid of that chgtime column. Storing information twice only leads to extra storage and the need to keep them both in sync, without any benefit.

Create Chart with Workpoint

Hi.. sorry I'm newbie here.
I'm currently working to develop a chart report for a WorkPoint site. (I'm a bit confused what is the difference between SharePoint and WorkPoint. I assumed, both are same.)
What is the best way to create chart report, where user can select the filters (mainly combobox), here is what I've tried :
1. Chart Web part, not capable to choose filters from user
2. Using access view-report, but strangely I cannot publish it to my site, no option for that in Access.
3. Using bamboo solution, but maybe there is no filters also.
4. Using AE SQL chart web part, but I don't know where to place the dll files. (How can I manage file in WorkPoint, I mean in windows explorer style?)
I also facing some difficulties, in my workplace computer, I cannot install additional software, e.g. Visual Studio, SharePoint Designer. And, I cannot bring my own notebook because I cannot connect to network using our own computers.
I have only InfoPath installed in this workplace computer. But as I know, I can only build List using InfoPath.
Anyone have a solution? Please help. I'm near my deadline.
Many thanks and appreciate your help.

WorkPoint, afaik, is a 3rd party Danish product built on top of SharePoint, so it's not SharePoint itself but offers additional features.
When creating charts, I wouldn't go for option 1 and 2, not powerful enough in this case. 3 and 4, I don't know, but I see no reason to buy additionial 3rd party products when SharePoint offers powerful capabilities regarding charting.
In this case, I'd probably go for either an SSRS report or PowerPivot report (those are SharePoint solutions to the problem). If you don't have an Enterprise license for SharePoint, you can Always use the free powerpivot add-on for Excel, create the chart
and upload it to SharePoint. If those options are not feasible, then it's back to your solution 3 or 4 again.
Btw, any DLL files of a custom solution will have to be placed in the bin folder of the SharePoint web application or the GAC.

Create plot with time vs array

Hi I am new in the forum.
I have this problem.
I would representate 7 plots versus tiime.
I calculate time and measure the 7 values in Y-axis and put them in an array.
How I can do to plot the array versus time?
Thank you in advance
Raf

Attached is an example. Ignore what I said earlier about keeping
data from previous times. IT seems to be a moot point with
charts, which will keep previous data by default! Oh thank
goodness for LabView!

Bar chart with hyperlink values in X-Axis in XIR2

Hi folks,
I am trying to create a bar chart which shows values for 2 measures using one dimension in the X-axis. I want an hyperlink associated with the values in the X-axis because I want to implement the ability of drilling through to another report when I click any of those values. That second report will show information filtered by the value of the dimension I clicked on.
I was reading a bit about it and it looks like it is not possible. The workaround provided was to make a table aside the chart and implement that behaviour in the table, not in the chart.
Anyone of you could confirm this? Any of you has another ideas?
Thanks a million
J. Russell

Hi Arif,
That is one of the work-arounds I have in mind.
Thanks for your answer

Bar chart with current date in X axis

Hello
I have attached a vi that I hoipe somebody can help with.
If you look at the vi, there are two bars showing.
1.How can I attach the current date to the X axis.
For instance.....suppose the first bar (far left) was produced with data from yesterday...then the X axis would indicate yesterdays date.
The next bar was produced from data obtained today, so would show todays date.....etc
An array of dates is not suitable, as no prior date knowledge is assumed......just the current date when the bar was graphed.
2. Can the date be vertical....or even fancier....on a 45 degree slope, upwards and to the right
Thank you and best regards
Ray

Hi, this will plot what ever data you got with the current date on the X Axis. But remember that since this is a graph, any new value plotted will erase the previous one. Dont have LabVIEW 9 otherwise would have checked your VI out. This plots each value with the current date.
