Cross-tab bar chart error.

Post Author: Kristofor
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I created a bar-chart based on a cross-tab, but the bar-chart ends up merging two rows of the cross-tab into a single series rather than displaying them correctly as two seperate series.
As far as I can tell this seems to occur because the labels for the two rows both start with the same two letters (but are otherwise different). If I don't use labels, but just the database integer IDs, the chart works correctly, but is not labelled in a useful manner.
Has anyone seen something like this and is there a way to work around it?

RSS Table View with Tab Bar Code Error

I created an iphone app with a navigation controller that has a table view which displays an rss feed. My client wants it able to display multiple rss feeds through a tab bar. I have attempted several times and have messed up. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guy, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
I would recommend starting as follows:
1) Start a new project with the Tab Bar Application template;
2) Open MainWindow.xib and select Window->Document from the IB menu to make sure the xib window (the icon winow) is visible;
3) Locate the "View Mode" switch in the upper-left corner of the xib window and make sure it's in the Center position to display a 2-column table showing the view hierarchy as a tree of small icons to the left;
4) Expand the Tab Bar Controller branch, then delete (select and Edit->Delete) each of the two view controllers under the Tab Bar Controller. The only child of that controller should now be the Tab Bar;
5) Open the Library window (Tools->Library), drag a Navigation Controller into the xib window and drop it when it's on top of the Tab Bar Controller icon;
6) Repeat step 5 until you have as many nav controllers (one for each RSS feed) as you want (for this example, assume 4 RSS feeds);
7) The Tab Bar Controller should now have 5 children: the Tab Bar plus the 4 nav controllers; if not, drag the nav controllers until each of their icons is shown indented under the Tab Bar Controller just as the Tab Bar is;
8) Expand the first Navigation Controller branch, and expand it's Root View Controller; you should now see that root controller's Navigation Item;
9) Select the nav item, open the Attributes Inspector (Cmd-1), and change the Title to "RSS 1 Root";
10) Repeat 8-9 for the remaining 3 nav controller branches, so the root views will be labeled "RSS 2 Root", ... "RSS 4 Root" respectively;
11) Save the xib, return to Xcode, and click "Build and Go". The project should build and run without any warnings or errors. If not, return to step 1 and try to see where things went wrong.
Let us know if you need more help after you get the above skeleton app working. The next step will be to change the class of the "RSS 1 Root" controller to the class of the first table controller in your original project, and to add that controller's xib (you can delete FirstViewController.h/.m and SecondView.xib by selecting each in the Groups & Files tree of the Xcode project window and selecting Edit->Delete).
Please avoid the temptation to merge the above steps into your original project. In my experience, moving each of your files into the new skeleton, and testing at each buildable stage will reduce the chances for error while making it easier to spot any incompatibilities in your old code. The process shouldn't involve touching any of your XML parse or table display code, but you may need to override some additional table view controller methods such as viewWillAppear:
Btw, in case this hasn't been discussed yet, be aware you'll face a major decision soon: When tabbing to feed no. 2, what happens on the return to feed no. 1? If the user will return to the same detail view that was last displayed, you might need lots more memory and there will be lots more to go wrong. If the user will return to the home menu, the whole project will be much simpler. Estimate your effort accordingly.
Also be prepared for your client to say something like this during beta: "Oh... one or two of the links in feed no. 3 might be a mp3 or mp4 next month. That won't be a problem, will it?".
Hope that helps!

Stacked Bar Chart Error

I have a 30+ series bar chart and the dates along the bottom are not showing in order...a sample of one of the series is as follows:
select null link, trunc(SAMPLE_TIME) label, SUM(EVENT_TIME) "CGS wait for IPC msg"
from "DART"."DART_TOP5_TIMED"
where event_name = 'CGS wait for IPC msg'
and instance_name = nvl (:P1_instance_name, instance_name) and sample_time>sysdate-30
group by trunc(SAMPLE_TIME)
order by trunc(SAMPLE_TIME)
Is there another line I need to add to ensure it goes in order?

Stacked bar chart errors

I am creating a stacked bar chart and put a max row count of 50, but the graph actually shows more than 50. After the 50 data points, all of the rest of the dates along the x axis are out of order. Is there another location i also need to enforce this max row count?

Hi HCMJ,
By default, the bar value will not overlapping each other in stacked bar chart, and we cannot increase or decrease the gap between the series in Reporting Services.
Based on my research, I find a workaround can achieve your requirement, please refer to the steps below:
Create a dataset with the query below (sample data):
CREATE TABLE #temp(name nvarchar(50),time nvarchar(50),value int)
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('Invoiced','YEAR',100),('Invoiced','MONTH',200),('Budget','MONTH',300),('Budget','YEAR',600)
SELECT * FROM #temp
Insert time field to Category Groups pane, and change the group name to “time”.
Insert value field to Values pane, then change the value to like below:
=min(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Insert another field with the following expression to Values pane:
=max(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Change the type of chart from Stacked Bar Chart to Range Bar Chart.
Right-click the Series field to change the Fill color to #9bff8c00 (DarkOrange with 155 Transparency) or any color with Transparency you like. Now we can get the following:
Preview it and get the following result:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Carry forward of variable value in cross-tab charts

Hi Experts,
I have a cross-tab which calculates the inventory of items (based on count). For a particular date range (quarterly here), if i have to generate the cross-tab, i set the inventory count to zero for the first quarter, and from the next quarter, i add to the inventory count, the new inventory items. At the end of each quarter this value gets accumulated and gets carried forward to the next quarter. From the next quarter, it just is the sum of count of the new items. Now, i have this cross-tab calculate the values at WhilePrintingRecords evaluation time.
When i have created a chart out of this cross-tab, the chart doesnt reflect the values that are observed in cross-tab.
Is there any way i can get these calculated values to get reflected on the chart?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roshan.

Build the Bar chart from Cross Tab which have 3 measures with cell refr.cal

Hello Friends. I want to Build the Bar chart from Cross Tab which have 3 measures with Actual , Plan and Forecast
But Issue here is each cell is defferent like i have to do different calculation for each cell for actual, plan, forecast
like A = Jan act/Budget actual, Where as B = Feb Act/ Jan Budg+Febbdgt_March Budget
So now when I right click to say turn to Chart it is not generating the chart
Please help how to build bar chart since i do not have 1 key figure which i can drag and drop in view structure of chart so how to handle this
                         Jan, Feb, March, Aprl, May, June
Actual                  A       B       C     D
Plan                     N       M       O     P
Forecast
SONIYA

Hi Soniya,
It will be better if you can get these keyfigures calculated from the BEx with the help of structures in the BEx.
At the report level it will be complex to create these variables and also not sure whether going to work:
But you can try something like this:
A= If (L01 Moths="JAN") then Sum (Actual)/Sum (Bud) Else 0 similarly for other months.
Then you need to create one more variable (measure) which should be plotted on the chart as:
Final Act = If([L01 Month]="JAN") Then A ElseIf([L01 Month]="FEB") Then B ElseIf([L01 Month]="MAR") Then C
Final Plan= If([L01 Month]="JAN") Then N ElseIf([L01 Month]="FEB") Then M ElseIf([L01 Month]="MAR") Then O
similarly you have to create variables for Forecast, then finally you can plot final 3 variables in the graph.
Hope it helps you.

Rohit

Convert cross tab with 2 summarized fields to a chart

Greetings,
I have a simple cross tab containing a date row and 2 summarized fields. It looks like this (see Figure 1)
When I convert (insert) my cross tab into a stacked bar chart, I only get one of the summarized fields to show up on the chart. It looks like this (Figure 2)
Is there a way for me convert this cross tab into a stacked chart so that both of my summary fields appear?
Many Thanks!

OK... Thank you.
I was using the cross tab in hopes of controlling graph labels for months (Customize Group Name field) . What I was doing was converting dates to month verbiage (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc) so that the month verbiage would appear on my graphs instead of the numbers while still maintaining proper calendar order . (thanks for showing me this technique by the way as it works great). Too bad it does not work when there is more than one summary field (thanks for explaining its limitations... I had not told you that I was adding a second summary field).
Given that I have 1 row ( Date_discharge) that I need to display as months (verbiage) in calendar order
and
Given that there are 2 summary fields: Vaccine Indicator (a sum) and Birth_date_Baby (a count) ...
(I am contrasting # of vaccine's given against total babies per month in a monthly stacked bar chart)
Is there a way to display 2 summary fields on a stacked bar graph grouped by month (where the month is listed in alpha format, (Sep, Oct, Nov, etc.) but still sorted by its calendar value? My initial attempts to do this in a graph (without a cross-tab) would display the month verbiage just fine, but it would order my months alphabetically.
Thanks again for your suggestions!

# Multivalue error in cross tab

Hi All,
I am using BO-launch pad 4.1,sp2 Data is from Bex-query using CMC.
Table: Cross tab
1)Dimenssion obj: CO-object
2)Attributs: Co-obj-wbs elemt,costcentr,order
3)Measure:Budjet aproval overall, Budjet for annul,Actual cost, Actual quantity,planned cost, planned quantity
when drag i dimension co-obj,attributes and all measures it showing values but when i drag attributes and measures (No need to drag dimension) it is showing in crosstab
# Multivalues error in all measure fields.
Can you plz give me suggestions on this.
Thanks

Hello,
Please check if you have used exception aggregation on measures in the BEx queries. These aggregation might be using some dimensions as reference characteristics. And if that dimensions are not included, you might get these multivalue error.
Good Day !!

SVG CHart error ORA-20001 with Stacked Bar Chart HTML DB 1.6.0.00.87

Hi,
during I put a How-To into execution (How To Create a Stacked Bar Chart) I'll get the following error code:
SVG Chart error:ORA-20001:line_Chart error:ORA-20001:
get_data error:ORA-20001:Parse error:ORA009
(see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/index.html)
This Situation occurs when i add a second series to the
chart. The first series works fine. I've used the following SQL-Statement:
select null l, sales_month, revenue from (select to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY') sales_month, sum(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) revenue, to_date(to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY'),'Mon YYYY') sales_month_order from DEMO_PRODUCT_INFO p, DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS oi, DEMO_ORDERS o where o.order_timestamp <= (trunc(sysdate,'MON')-1)and o.order_timestamp > (trunc(sysdate-365,'MON'))and o.order_id = oi.order_id and oi.product_id = p.product_id and p.category = 'Audio' group by to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY') order by sales_month_order);
Please help.

Detlev

Well,
I've just been struggling for a couple of hours with a cluster bar chart giving the same problem.
The problem is definitely with "ORDER BY".
I guess the graphing chart is taking the sql query as a string and then does some other manipulation on it which ends abnormally when you include the order by clause.
I presume that if you embed the query in a
SELECT * FROM (<actual query with order by>)
it might mitigate the problem.

How to include both percentages and number values in a cross-tab chart?

Hi,
I created a cross-tab and a multiple pie chart using Crystal XI. I would like to include percentages as well as numbers in my pie charts' slices. Seems I can either show % or numbers but not both!
The multiple pie chart compares different charges for different Departments. It has an On Change Of by "DifferentDepartments" and "ItemCharges" (e.g. Normal, Double Time, Time & half, Shift, Meal... ) and the Summary value is sum of "Labour".
Is there any workaround available? Please advice.
Thanks,
Nazee
Edited by: Nazee TVK on Feb 23, 2012 1:52 AM

hi Nazee,
this is possible sometimes, using a workaround, and depending on the values you're showing.
instead of using your department field as the On Change Of field, create a new formula which is something like
{departmentfield} + chr(10) + totext({your group level summary})
as an example using the xtreme sample databae
{Customer.Customer Name} + chr(10) +
totext(Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales}, {Customer.Customer Name}))
now in your Pie Chart switch the department field for the new formula you just created.
i have attached a sample report...however, please note that the forums sometimes don't work with these attachments. so you can try different browsers or right clicking on the attachment and doing a save first etc.

Multi value error in bar chart

Hi,
I am getting the following error in bar chart for recp_id versus actual and budget.
"Formula Evaluation- Error in dataset: Multivalue check formula definition in this dataset context"
I have following report in the tab1, chart on tab2
Class, Eq No, Recp_Id, Status, hrs_used, hrs_avail, rate, Actual, Budget
2         123            R1      A         10        10              5      50     50
2          123           R1      A         _         20              5      0       100
1           234          R2      A         10        5               10    100    50
I have 3 data providers:
hrs_used Dp1: Eq No, hrs_used, compcode,recp_id
hrs_avail Dp2: Eq No, Eff_st_dt,Eff_end_dt,compcode, recp_id
master data Dp3: Eq No, compcode,status, Eq name, class
Merging on Eq No, compcode, recp_id
I was getting multi value error for hrs_avail, actual,budget and resolved it in the report using below formula for hrs_avail. I have multi value error in Budget in the report
[Includingweekends]=Sum(DaysBetween([Eff_st_dt];RelativeDate([Eff_end_dt];1) ) ForEach([Eq No];[Recp_Id];[Eff_st_dt];[Eff_end_dt]))
hrs_avail=If([Prompt for Weekends]="N") Then ([Prompt for Available Hours] * [Excluding weekends]) Else ([Includingweekends] * [Prompt for Available Hours])
Actual=[hrs_used] * [rate]
Budget=[hrs_avail]* [rate]
Report output now:
Class, Eq No, Recp_Id, Status, hrs_used, hrs_avail, rate, Actual, Budget

I have an issue with the graph with multi value alert on the top of chart for recp_id versus actual and budget.

Hi Jyothy ,
Chop down your formula ,place each section of formula as a column and check for error .
use below
[Includingweekends]=Sum(DaysBetween([Eff_st_dt];RelativeDate([Eff_end_dt];1)   ForEach([Eq No];[Recp_Id];[Eff_st_dt];[Eff_end_dt]))
hrs_avail=sum(If([Prompt for Weekends]="N") Then ([Prompt for Available Hours] * [Excluding weekends]) Else ([Includingweekends] * [Prompt for Available Hours]))

Date Formatting in Charts and Dynamic column resizing in Cross tabs

Hi All,
I am new to Design Studio, so am in desperate need of your help on the following:
Is there a way we can change the date format in x axis in charts?
For ex: Am getting dates as mm/yyyyy from BW but requirement is to show in yy-Mon
Requirement is to display data in cross tab just below the charts. How can I make the column widths in the cross tab the same as x-axis divisions in the chart? Also, this will be dynamic as depending on filter selection x axis scaling in charts will vary.
In cross tab, can I hide the column header?
Would really appreciate any kind of help from you.
Thanks & Regards
Swasti

HI Swasti,
To answer your first question, in Design Studio it's what you see is what you get! so it shows the Data Labels as it is in the BEx output, if you have to modify this you have to change it in the Background.
There might be CSS workarounds, but I am not sure if that will satisfy your requirements.
You can fix the Column width, but it would be constant, aligning that to your X-axis would require a lot of Effort.
You cannot hide the Column header directly, but one workaround would be to use a white BG text component to overlay on the Crosstab.
