Crystal Reports - Charts - Restricting the data points on the X-axis

Hi,
Is there a way to restrict the number of points to display on the x-axis of a crystal chart keeping the number of data points the same.
For example, if the chart plots date vs value points and the data for the chart is from 1980 to 2009. This means the data points on the x-axis appear very close to each other.
I need a way to show the chart with all data from 1980 to 2009 but limited x-axis labels. Is there a way to configure the number of labels to show on the x-axis.
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer.
"Right click on one of the x axis labels and select Group (X) Axis Options...
On the Layout tab there is an option to Skip Group Labels, check this and enter in the number of labels you want to skip". Is there a way to do this from a .NET client or via a formula field in Crystal itself. The data points is going to be dynamic, hence the requirement is to dynamically configure the "number of labels" to be skipped.
Thanks.

Can I dump out the data point of a curve in the equalizer?

Hi all,
After using the equalizer, I would like to dump out the data point of the following curve. Is there any method to dump out the data points?
Thanks a lot for your kindly help.

No, there is no way of doing that from any of the filter plugins - they don't calculate like that internally, so there would be no easy mechanism for doing this. Even if you looked at the preset data, you'd only find the setup conditions for each filter band, not the total responses. The only place you can do anything like this is the Frequency Analysis window. Because this does an FFT of the entire waveform, the data is available - hence the 'copy to clipboard' option.

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

How to show data value labels in the charts without moving my mouse on the data point?

Sometimes I need to show a chart with data value labels which is not necessary to move my mouse on the data points. However, it seems Xcelsius does not support this simple feature. Any alternative ways?
Many thanks!

Currently, Xcelsius does not support display of labels at data points. It would be difficult to move and update labels on a chart with dynamically updated data. However, a work around for a static chart would be to add a Label component in the desired location. This can be done for multiple static charts by using dynamic visibility.

Can you add the data information to the data points in a chart

I am trying to add the data information to the data points in a line chart. can this be done?

You can add Value labels to the series to show the numerical value at each data point. The control is in the Series section of the Chart Inspector (see green arrow).
If you are asking about text labels, such as the "Test 1", "Test 2", etc. in column A of the table, You can add these by copy/paste into a text box placed in front of the chart, or use a formula ( =Table 1::A1 ) to transfer the text into a single cell table placed appropriately on the chart.
Using single cell tables will allow automatic updating of the label if the content of the Table 1 cell(s) changes. Neither method will automatically reposition the label if there's a change in the data feed to the chart.

LV7 How to click on an xy chart and identify the data point selected

I have an xy chart displaying a time chart showing points when faults were identified, and want the user to be able to touch the plot area and for that data point to be identified so that the main display can be switched to the appropriate data.
I have a solution where I drag the cursor to the required point then use Mouse Up event to read the cursor value, then search the data array for the matching cursor value and get the solution.
However this is on a touch screen UI and dragging to cursor does not work very well. What I would like is to be able to convert the mouse position (relative to the full screen) and convert this to the position on the plot area that is given by the cursor position.
I
f someone could tell me how to get the screen position of the plot area rather than the full bounds of the xy control I think I could do it.

Yes, I agree it is not very pratical. I would prefer if the true x,y coordinates could be obtained directly in the event structure.
In addition to the "Coords" terminal, we also need a terminal that provides the coordinates directly in the true plot units. That would definitely be very useful.
Make sure to suggest it to NI (I have, long ago!).

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

Help: Chart with multiple data points

I would like to create a chart which has 2 data points. The way I know it works, each metric has only one data point. If I want the metric history chart shows 2 data points (y axis) over the same period of time (x axis). Is it possible to do such metric?
Thanks for the help.

Don't believe you can have 2 data points as you are suggesting. Oracle is working on enhancing the reporting framework for EM, but not sure when BI will be there. You can send data from the OMR to an existing BI infrastructure and report from there.
Sorry...
Have a good day.

How to delete the Data Points label with a crosstab layout

Hi, just a question.
I created a report which uses a crosstab layout; so...I have the Company Name on the left, Status Code above and the Count(tickets) as Data Points.
As soon as I put the Count(tickets) inside the report, the label "Data Points: Incident Id Count appears above just at the bottom of the Status Code
Is there a way to avoid this tedious label ?
As workaround, I changed the Data Points' format heading (text and background) in such a way to see only a Grey space...but this is not so useful (from the customer side...)
I also looked for inside the crosstab layout properties...but I didn't found nothing.....
Any help will be appreciate
Alex

Well, I think you are out of luck. You are basically saying you want to control when you have a column heading and when you don't want to have a column heading. Most of us users do want column headings in our reports. In fact I have a hard time trying to figure out why you don't want a column heading. How are the report users going to know what the numbers in the column mean if you don't have a heading on the column? Maybe the initial users of the report know, but what happens when they leave and someone else takes over their duties? I would suggest putting in an enhancement request for Discoverer to give you the option to not display a column heading, if you really want something like this. This needs to be at the workbook level, I am thinking.

BI 4.0 w/ Windows AD SSO, but Crystal Report (mdx) prompt login data

Hi guru,
We have been struggling for a while on the sso issue between BI 4.0, AD, BW, and CR.
Our architecture is not complex:
1. A BI 4.0 (BOE) on Tomcat (windows)
2. Backend SAP BW as main data source
3. AD, SAP Authentication are configured in CMC
4. User can login to Windows Desktop (login to Win Domain) and then link to BI Launchpad w/o giving password (Windows SSO), it works.
5. Crystal report can be published via BW to BI/2.0/.... folder on BI
But one thing still not working:
Our crystal report (using mdx for data accessing to BW) keep asking database login credential when a BI user login via Windows SSO. We want to get rid of this prompt and want to use a mapped R3 account for db access. each windows AD user has a corresponding mapped r3 account configured in CMC. We have tried, but not working.
The only way we got to avoid the prompt is to remove bwmdx from Crystal Report SSO Config in CMC and manually change the published CR report to use "original data login" as well as assiging the r3 credential. But we have to do it for each CR report.
Anyone have done this before ?
Is it possible to Login via Windows SSO and then view CR report w/o giving pwd ?
Or we have to do some special setting while making the report ?
Or users have to login by R3 account to get such SSO ?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for prompt reply, My answer is:
No, SNC is not enabled.
Since BO can get data via the following 3 method from BW, so I'm not sure whether SNC is a must (just for CR SSO)
Universe(UNV) --> BW
Universe(UNX) --> BW
OLAP --> BW
OK, if SNC is a must to link AD SSO to BW SSO, what kind of SNC (client vs server) should I configure ?
Thanks

Sub reports In Crystal reports XML as a data Source

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to Sub reports functionality in crystal reports as XML as a data Source. We are using CrystalReports XI for this.
I was generated PDF's using crystal reports from ruby on rails, by using the JAVA API to produce the PDF by taking the XML,XSD,and RPT files as parameters. I succeed in this case
and the way we are communicating with JAVA API using from my Ruby on Rails application by the following link.
http://rorataspire.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/how-to-integrate-crystal-reports-with-ruby-on-rails/
Right Now my problem is as follows.
The problem with the sub reports generation from crystal reports. We had one main report file(RPT), In that we are using the Sub reports,for that sub reports need to parse the XML's and XSD's dynamically based on the report encountered on the main(RPT)file,but to send more than one XSD's and XML's dynamically based on the sub report, to the JAVA API from Ruby on Rails application I am not succeeded. So as a result PDF with the Dynamic data for Sub reports is not fulfill.
Your help is appreciable, Thanks in advance.

Is this a coding question or a data source format question?
Sincerely,

Crystal Reports not displaying all data

We have a simple report pulling from 3 tables on a sql server. For some reason, data from one table does not fully display. The table is called Referral, and we have some clients that have a Referral record tied to them. Out of a report of 20 records, we will have 3-4 that won't display the referral data (even though I can see it in the database), but the other 16 records will. If I go into the database, and change the data on one of the non-displaying referral records and save, it will start displaying. If I then change the data back to the original, it will also display. Being new to Crystal Reports, I don't know if this is a Crystal issue or a problem at the data source, but thought I would put it out here in case someone is familiar with this problem. Our Crystal Reports version is 2011.
Thanks.

Hi
This could be either table join problem in your crystal reports designer or when you are linking the tables it is unable to match the records.
-- Go in Crystal reports designer and refresh the report and go in Database Menu--Show SQL query and copy the SQL and run the same at database end and check.
Also you said you are able to see all records at database end, if you are extracting data through SQL you can very well copy that SQL in crystal reports under 'Add Command' option and create your report.
You will find Add command option under your Database connection while creating a report.
Thanks,

Crystal reports - charting query

Hi.
I have a database with the following fields:
'companyname' which contains the values:
company1
company2
company3
company4
company5
company6
'value' which contains the company values:
11
14
16
13
72
26
and a 'date' field.
I have created a CReport that displays information between the dates specified. I am displaying a bar chart with the company names on the x-axis and values on the y axis.
So i specify a 'from' and 'to' date to display the data and it returns a graph with data.
On the x-axis is company3, company4, company5. This then means that company1, company2 and company6 have a value of zero between the dates specified, thus the graph doesnt display those company names.
Im wondering how i can get it to display all the company names (company1 to company6) and for company 1, company2 and company6, just display a value of zero?
Please can you help me with this?
thank you.
J

If the rest of the report is dependant on filtering the data based on the date but you still want to show company names that have no data for that date range then you could insert a subreport that returns all data (or filters it down to the 6). Create a formula that outputs the value if the datefield falls within the date range and outputs 0 if it does not. Use this formula as the value field in the chart.

Is coloring the individual points possible in Numeric Axis-- Date Axis line

Hi,
I have a requirement to be able to chart with specific points in the "Numeric Axis-->Date Axis line Chart", in a different color, I can do that easily in "_XY Scatter_" chart with "Color Highlight Tab" in CR XI.
Any idea if the same functionality is possible/available for "Numeric Axis-->Date Axis line Chart" chart, it lets me define the rule to define color based on the Table.value, but doesn't show in that color even when the data has met the definition (ex:Profit=100k).
Thanks for the help.
Krishna Hegde

The Color Highlight works fine. Did you try with some other options you have in 'Color Higlight' maybe like 'Greater Than' or Less Than...just to test it.....
