Customize colors in horizontal bar in charts OBIEE 10g

Hi All,
I have a chart report which has horizontal bars. I want th change the color of each bar to different colors. I have no condition,any color is fine for me.
How can I achieve it? In Format Chart Data, I haev specified different colors,but it gives only one color for each Horizontal bars.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Try chart conditional formatting, if you have year in X axis and Revenue in Y axis, add conditional format for each year. By this you can vary color for each bar.

Coloring of specific bars in charts built in Keynote

Working on a presentation in Keynote 2.02. I created a bunch of column charts with gradients applied. In one instance, I have 15 columns and I want 2 of the columns within the same chart, to have a different grandient fill than the other 13. Any clue on how to do this? Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to the discussion boards, geraldho. The bars of a bar chart can't be coloured individually -- the best solution is simply to overlay rectangles on the bars you want to colour differently.

Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

Display -ve Measure Values in Horizontal Bar Chart on right hand side or in bar

In OBIEE I have an issue where the negative measure values in a horizontal bar chart are displayed on the left and overlap with the Y axis values, how do I force these values to be displayed on the right or in the bar itself ? The measure values are set to always on, hoverover cannot be the solution

Hi,
It should not be overlapped. If you are using horizontal bar then 0 will come in center. It should show structure like:
|
|
|
|
|
|-------------------------------------------------
-4 -2 0 2 4
May I know in your report, how it is looking and what is your requirement.
Thanks

Gantt chart- How to change the color of time bars of different versions

Hi All,
My Client wants to see all changes in planning schedule. I made different versions of these changes but he also want to see all these changes in gantt chart and in different colors. I tried to change the color in planning board assistant but in this screen (CJ27/ CJ2B). we cannot view all versions together. And if I use CN41, there I cannot change the colors of time bars.
Secondly, we can change colors of times bars of basic dates, forecast dates and actual dates but there is no provision to change the colors of schedule bars of different project versions. Kindly reply-
1. How to see all project versions in CJ27 or How to customise bar chart in cn41 or if we change in SPRO, then how to change graphic profile in project info profile
2. How to change colors of different time bars of different versions.
3. How to mention these legends (meaning of each color in chart) at footer of gantt chart (in print outs)
Please Help.
Thanks & Regards
Dinesh Chauhan

Thanks,
actually I've created new project planning board profile where planning board assistant is customized but unable to use this profile in CN41. we can change PS info profile in CN41 and that;s why I thought that planning board profile may be assigned somewhere in PS info profile so that changes in planning board assistant will be applied in CN41 through PS info profile. Graphic profile is too complex to understand and not sure if it will help to get colored time bars of projct versions in gantt chart. Still not clear.
Secondly not able to see all versions (snap shots) in gantt chart with different colors of time bars.
I mean planning board screen can be customized but we cannt see different versions here which are possible in CN41, but we cannt customize the gantt chart (time bars) in CN41. Pls help.
Thx & Regards

Fine-grained control of colors in a bar chart

Hello,
Short version: How do I control the colors of the bars in a bar chart in Keynote, so that each bar, representing a particular entity, retains its color no matter its position relative to the other bars after updating the chart?
Detailed version: I am using iWork '09. In Keynote I have a 3D bar chart showing an indicator for different companies (industry comparison). The companies are sorted in ascending order by revenue, so that the lowest bar (company with smallest revenue) is to the far left and the tallest - to the far right. I update the chart regularly. I have the following problem: each bar, representing a company, is in a particular color. When I update the chart, if the the order of the companies changes, the colors of the bars do not change, so that in the new chart the order of the colors is the same, although some or all of the bars now represent different companies. In other words: if in version 1 company A is in red and comes before company B which is in blue, if in the next version company A comes after company B, I want its bar to still be red. In the current situation, if company A comes after company B its bar will be blue and comapny B's will be red, i.e. red still comes before blue.

I have to give up the beautiful colors of the automatic chart and only use the restricted number of colors from the color well.
There is no restricion in the choice of colour, the colour depth on a Mac has over 16 million to choose from.
Further, the fill type has options for; colour, gradient, image and tint

SSRS- Drill down to sub report of a bar chart on click on a particular color of the bar

Hi,
I have a bar chart which can have many colors on each bar, Now if i click on a bar, i am getting all the data related to that particular bar. Is it possible to click only on a particular color and get related data instead of whole bar?
To be more precise, in the below image if i click on 16/6/2013 bar, i am getting all the data related to the bar, but is it possible to click on red and green colors of the bar separately and get the relevant data? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kruthi Hegde

Hi Kruthi,
In your case, you can use “Go to report” property to solve the issue.
Suppose we have a dataset (DataSet1) in main report and subreport with following fields: Months, DateTime, Amount. We can according to Months and DateTime fields to display the subreport. Please refer to the steps below:
Subrepot:
Add dataset (DataSet2) in the report with Months field.
Add dataset (DataSet3) in the report with DateTime field.
Add two parameters in the report. Please refer to the following Available Values:
Months:
Dataset: DataSet2
Value field: Months
Label field: Months
DateTime:
Dataset: DataSet2
Value field: DateTime
Label field: DateTime
Add filters in the tablix.
Main report:
Right click the bar chart, select Series Properties.
Click Action in the left pane, select “Go to report” option.
Specify the corresponding report.
Click Add icon to add parameters to run the report:
Name: Months Value: [Months]
Name: DateTime Value: [DateTime]
(Note: If we want subreport display these data which is only relevant with color, we can delete DataTime parameter in the report.)
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

10g Graphs - How to customize the default color of a Bar Graph

Hi,
I've posted this thread in Reports section, have received no reply yet. Maybe no one has ever tried this before!!
I am porting a couple of 6i OGD's to 10g graphics.
Basically I am invoking reports from a form. The reports contains embedded Graph.
Here comes the tricky part.
I have a couple of Graphs in 6i that display each bar of a bar graph in different color.
Example:
Value       Bar Color
Critical     Red
Major       Orange
Minor       Yellow
None       GrayQ) I want to know how to set the color of each bar of a bar graph based on the value it takes. i,e If it's critical the bar should be displayed in red. If it's major, the bar should be displayed in orange.
I added conditional formatting in 10g Graph, and this is the trigger that was created.
function CT_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
-- Automatically Generated from Reports Builder.
if (:f19 > -1)
then
    srw.set_foreground_border_color('yellow');
    srw.set_border_pattern('solid');
    srw.set_foreground_fill_color('yellow');
    srw.set_fill_pattern('solid');
end if;
-- Automatically Generated from Reports Builder.
if (:f20 > -1)
then
    srw.set_foreground_border_color('red');
    srw.set_border_pattern('solid');
    srw.set_foreground_fill_color('red');
    srw.set_fill_pattern('solid');
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;When I try to invoke the above report from the form, I get the error: FRM-41214: Unable to run report.
If I remove conditional formatting, I am able to invoke the report from the form with the default color in the embedded graph.
Hopefully someone has ideas on this!
Thanks

Why don't you use the build-in charting capability of reports 10g instead? There is FormsGraph.jar implementation for forms but that might not have the flexibility of what 6i graphs has/had and not "officially" supported - not like the reports 10g charting capability (which is built in and can be customized by editing the related xml files (if necessary). Note: FormsGraph.jar has it's own limitations

Crystal Report Version 11.5.8.826 - Color Sorting - Stacked Bar Chart Issue

Hi All,
I have issue on sorting the color on stacked bar chart.
Below steps are not reflect the color sorting.
1. Right click on chart area in the report
2. Select chart expert
3. Go to Color Highlight tab
4. In the item list, change the sequence of color
Is there any way to sort the color on stacked bar chart?
Please advise, thank you.
Regards, Sumardi

hi,
You can right click on each bar individually,
Format Series Riser -> Fill -> Foreground Color.
This will apply the required colors.
Also, if you have any color standards, try to create a sample report with this kind of Chart and specify the colors individually.
Right Click the chart -> Save as Template.
In future, if any other reports have Stacked Bar Chart with same color standards, you can directly re-use this template.

Horizontal bar with red for negative and green for positive?

I need to use CF9 to create horizontal bar chart where the intensity of the red (negative) is determined by the amount of negativity of the values and similarly the intensity of the green is based on the amount of positivity of the values.
See attached snapshot. Ignore the value label.
Can CF10 do this. I briefly looked but does not appear so.
Any advice? THANKS!!

Yes, with the new charting engine it is possible to do this with rules. Check out my example at http://www.cfuser.com/library/demos/index.cfm?do=charting&get=bcr. You have to set the threshholds and the colors. The colors are two part to allow for gradients. I have also just posted a write-up at http://www.cfuser.com/rules-preview-zoom-and-flash/

Obiee 10g - How to Increase the default size of Bubble chart radius axis

Hi,
I have an requirement of creating bubble chart in obiee 10g.
When i was developing the bubble chart i noticed that there is no option of increasing the size of the bubble.
When the measure value is low the bubble is not getting displayed.
Kindly help me with any solution.
Regards,
Abdul

Hi Alok_Aswal,
In SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, the Bubble chart has several custom attributes which allow us to control the size of the bubbles. "BubbleMaxSize" and "BubbleMinSize" attributes allow us to define the size of the bubble in the chart series. The values
set are in percent of the whole chart size. We can find those attributes in the property pane by selecting bubble series and expanding 'CustomAttributes' properties.
And based on my research, the Marker size has a wide range, but for some reason once we get to around 8 the bubble in the legend will not grow any bigger. So in your scenario, we can set the Marker size to 8pt, then set the appropriate “BubbleMaxSize" and
"BubbleMinSize" based on the chart size to make the size of both the bubble are the same. For example, we can also set “BubbleMaxSize" and "BubbleMinSize" to 8, then manually adjust the chart size until both the bubbles have same size.
Beside, we can delete the original legend, and drag a tablix to the right of the chart. And then insert the corresponding data and color to tablix to let it looks like a legend. For more details information, you can refer to the link below to see Mike’s

How do I create a vertical side menu with its own styling separate from the horizontal bar above it?

Hello. I need assistance in styling my side menu. I would like for it to have a different style than the horizontal bar that is above it. I would like that the side menu have a black background and with white text vertically aligned to the left. But I would also like that the mouse's arrow to turn into a hand when it touches the letters instead of during the entire width of the background. When I began styling the text, everything aligned fine until I added the links in html code. When I added the <a> tag and created a link to another page, the text goes from the left to the center of the black box. And the entire width is a link rather than just the words. To correct this, I tried renaming the div tag containg the menu. I tried renaming the ul tag. And I tried renaming the li tag and changing the declarations. None of these ideas worked. I thought about changing the <a> tag in the head of the document, but that didn't change the styling either. I also tried creating the black background by inserting a black box as a background image with the links over top of the image. It didn't work. I would appreciate your assistance.   I will supply the coding if anyone is interested in looking at it. Thank you.
Nora.

I can post a link to the page. But I will need to upload it. It will take a day to show. But after I wrote to you. I began working with creating additional a:link styles. I was able to create a shortened clickable area of one the words in the vertical menu. Your advice reinforced what I have learned. The following code shows that I started to make different styles of the a:link for each word on the vertical menu. I think that this will work. To indicate the different a:link style I used bold letters . Thank you very much.

Bubble chart in OBIEE 10g

Is there any way to increase the bubble size of bubble chart in obiee 10g? Like whether we can use javascript or HTML Code to achieve it?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
But I cannot understand your point. My requirement is something different. In the X axis I have project_number and y axis I have measures like budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the vertical chart gives me the summarize view. Now for a particualr project say AA, I can see three vertical bars showing budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the requirement is if I click on budget bar it will popup a new window showing related details of budget which is a different report, if click on commitment bar it will open commitment report in another window and so on.
I am not able to implement this like multiple navigation from a bar chart.
Can you please help on how to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Thanks

Need help in Line bar combo chart - line is not prominent in dashboard

Hi All,
I face an issue where the line in a line bar combo chart is not prominent in Dashbords.
lets say i have 5 reports (all of them are line bar combo charts) in a dashboard. The lines in graph are not prominent or not displayed in usual thickness. But this scenario does not happen always. if i scroll down or up the browser(here i am using IE8) some of the reports displays line in the charts and some does not display the line. when i click on the report then the line will be displayed.
please suggest whether this is a browser issue ror something to deal with OBIEE itself.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It's a bug in obiee11g. kindly download the patch file from My Oracle Support and delpoye it
OBIEE 11g: Line Bar Combo , With Stacked Chart , The Bar Width Gets Affected [ID 1369493.1]
Patch 12947990: BAR CHANGES WIDTH WHEN CHART CHANGED FROM DEFAULT LINE-BAR TO STACKED LINE-BAR
Symptoms
When the chart type is changed from Standard or Default line-bar to Stacked line-bar chart, the bars are reducing their width.
Line-bar should keep the width of the previous bars.
However, when vertical Bar is changed to stacked vertical, the bar width remains the
same. But when a regular Line-Bar is changed to stacked vertical, the width
changes (reduces, in this case it becomes half the original width)
Cause
For dual Y stacked bar graph, the bar width was half of the regular bar width
because the series assigned to Y2 was given the half of the space also. This is not needed if the marker type for Y2 is not bar.
The following bugs have been opened to handle this issue
Reference Bug:
Bug 12931660 - line bar combo with stacked chart changes its width
