Date format in charts

Hello,
is it possible to change the date format in a chart?? Example: From 'dd.mm.YYYY' to 'dd'
Edited by: Gerrit Lober on Jun 25, 2008 2:21 PM

Hi
No it is not possible to change the date format in Chart
Bcos the chart displays the values or the date from the report.
If you need to change the display in chart then Display in the report should be changed.

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.

Data Format on charts

Is possible to get Decimal Places UP to x on chart properties data format?
I can change this property on criteria column, but If I want to change Vertical Axis Labels, Data Labels...only can change decimal places from 1 to 6...but I would like to select UP to 2.
Changing xml advanced code with minDigits=2 to minDigits=0 and maxDigits=2...doesn't work.

Any solution??

In a pie chart, the whole 'pie' represents 'all of the data graphed'.
In percent, that's "one hundred per cent", or "one hundred per hundred"
As a fraction, the whole circle represents 100/100, or 1/1 or 1.00 — all of which mean "one whole thing".
Smaller portions are written as fractions of the whole, with the 'whole' fixed at 100 (percent) or 1.00.
So a 20 pence piece represents 20/100 of a pound, which is 20 percent of a pound, or may be written as a decimal as 0.20 pound.
One pound is 1.00 pound, or 100% of a pound.
A 10 pound note is 10.00 pounds, or 1000% of a pound.
And getting into the range of values on your Chart 16, 455 pounds is 455.00 pounds, or 45500% of one pound, which, as you can see, is correctly represented on the chart.
Here's a pair of charts, and the table that feeds them. Same data as in your example, but with the Y axis scale showing the raw data numbers on Chart 1, and the fraction of the total (1146) that each amount represents on the chart 2.
Formatting the Y axis labels to show percent doesnt change the values. The numbers are multiplied by 100, and the % sign is attached to show that these are the number per hundred. For chart 1, where the current scale takes no account of the total, converting to percent doesn't make sense.
For Chart 2, with the current scale, the four bars show (approximately) 0.2, 0.3, 0,4 and 0.1. Altogether, that's 0.2+0.3+0.4+0.1 = 1.0
Converting Chart 2's Y axis values to percents changes the labels on the four non-zero lines to 10, 20, 30 and 40%. The four bars now show 20, 30, 40 and 10 percent. Add those up and you get 100% (which is always the total percentage of 'the whole thing'.

How to set date format dd.MM.yy for chart time axis

Is it possible to set default date format dd.MM.yy instead of MM/dd/yy in Flex charts without using label function ?
In this case we do not know beforehand the length of the time span; it can be minutes, days or weeks.
Setting locales in compiler options or locale settings for application seems not having any effect.

For example
- mx:Barchar
- if time span is 4 minutes; time axis format is HH:mm and shows 10:00, 10:01, 10:02, 10:03 ; *this correct*
- if time span is 5 days; time labels are automatically in MM/dd/yy format; question is how to change this automation
to format dd.MM.yy
- how to do this *without* dateformatter and *without* coding "if time span is is longer than day nyt less than week then use dd.MM.yy format" ?

Line Chart - date format

Hi,
i have some troubles with a "normal" line-chart. (graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS")
The data is something like that:
xvalue           yvalue
01.01.2006     100
02.01.2006     101
03.01.2006     102
04.01.2006     101
01.02.2006     102
02.02.2006     102
03.02.2006     101
01.03.2006     100
02.03.2006     99
03.03.2006     101
I define the chart with:
groups="xvalue" dataValues="yvalue"
worked fine, BUT:
I had to change the date-format from dd.mm.yyyy to "only" mm/yy.
Now just 1 yvalue of every xvalue-group is displayed - the chart has only the following points:
xvalue          yvalue
01/06          100
02/06          102
03/06          100
Does anybody know a solution where every point is shown just with the other date-format?

Change your default system date format.

Export the data of a chart to Excel format

Custom Formatting Of Chart Legends

I've been playing with Flex Charting, and I have lots of nice
looking graphs that I've created from database feeds. However, what
I really want to know how to do is format the chart legend better.
For example I have a pie chart that has about 50 different data
items/series and the legend is huge in either horizontal or
vertical mode it prints all the way down the page. How can I make
it two, three or more columns?

Hi Justin,
I think, there is no way to do such a customization with the standard Javadoc (i.e. powered by the Standard Doclet).
After all, the job of the standard Javadoc is doing standard (general) things and I just cannot imagine any general rule (setting or option) that would embrace all kinds of possible customizations about displaying of annotations.
So, the only way in your situation would be to modify the doclet itself. You can try tweaking the standard doclet: overload some its classes or change sources (according to the license they provide). However, I just can say, that way proved to have lots of limitations.
Fortunately, I could suggest you a different rote that would allow you solving your problem in a few minutes. We have a product called "DocFlex/Javadoc":
http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/
This is a highly customizable Javadoc doclet. More exactly, this is a system for rapid development of professional quality doclets (with the support of both framed/single-file HTML and RTF output).
With that tool, the generation of every sort of Javadoc output is programmed in special templates (using graphic Template Designer). The product is provided with the "standard template set" that generates the HTML Java API documentation very similar to the standard Javadoc.
In fact, to solve you task, you will need to modify a subtemplate called "annotations.tpl". See on this page: http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/templates.php
If you are interested about all this, we could help you to modify the necessary template absolutely free. Then, you will need only to buy a full product license to have everything work without limitations and that will be all!
So, if you are interested, please let us know by sending a e-mail to the address found on this page:

Date Format Display on report

Is there a way to set a custom date format on a report column? I am trying to use a format mask and it doesn't appear to be working. Maybe someone can spot my mistake:
Query: Hours Worked = Clock_IN - Clock_OUT
Format mask for Clock In/Clock Out - DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI (from list)
Format mask for Hours Worked column: HH:MI (hand typed)
actual display (Timecard ID is edit link):

"date format not recognised" in DBMS_SESSION, on page over db_link

Hi,
I have an Apex 4.0 page which has a region that gets data constituted from a connection across a database link.
The host database is 11.1.0.6 and the remote database is 9.0.1. (Both Standard Edition)
I am using EPG.
Intermittently, I receive the following error (having turned debugging on):
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:21:53 GMT
ORA-20867: ORA-01821: date format not recognized
ORA-02063: preceding line from CLIFF

ORA-06512: at "APEX_040000.F", line 294
ORA-06512: at line 30
I'm somewhat confused as to what is causing the generation of this error.
After receiving this error, anything I else that I do that involves building 'pages' works perfectly fine. I can login/out, no problems.
However, if I try and RUN any page within my application thereafter (all of these access local DB information apart the 1 that generates the error), I continue to receive exactly the same error - no matter which page I am trying to access.
Help?
- Tony.

Hi Patrick,
No. I haven't yet applied the patchset. May do that this afternoon now.
I don't believe I've manually set any date formats anywhere. Just entered the Builder with default options (apart from choosing a theme) and away I went!!
What surprises me is that the application has no problems viewing all the data. The functionality all seems fine. I had this working on a previous setup for months,. without any problems, using version 3.2. (This wasn't migrated though, this was a rebuild from scratch.)
From further "tests", the error seems to occur when I edit the page that involves the remote data.
Normally, a user would land on the page from having used a hyperlink column on a previous page's classic report region.
The point at which it all starts to go wrong is if I connect to the page as normal, but then EDIT the page, and then try and re-run it.
The problem with the date format then re-occurs repetitively, no matter which page I try and view. Sometimes pages will load some components, but then generate odd errors with others. e.g. I have a small series of 3 dial charts, all with slightly varying SQL series (same SQL, slightly different where clause). Now I am seeing that 1 may load and 2 may give odd flash errors...
Right now, I just tried to Export my application - and I still got given the date format error!! Sub-sequent retries allowed the operation to complete successfully.
The only way I seem to be able to eradicate the recurring errors is to kill all the currently connected ANONYMOUS users in the DB, and then relog to the application.

Show complete date range in chart

I created a table of three columns -- date, person 1, and person 2. Under each person and across from each date is a value (the person's weight). The dates run from March 2 to June 9. When I turned the data in this table into a simple line chart, the chart shows data values only from May 8 to June 6. I have recreated the chart several times, thinking that I must have missed highlighting some of the cells, but I get the same results every time. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can offer. Dick

Hello Frederick,
A single unit (1.0) of Date/Time is a Day. You can enter a Date, format it to your liking, do math on it, and create strings that combine dates. Here's an example:
The expression in the Week Range cells under Start Date-> is:
=$B$1+(ROW()-2)*7&"-"&$B$1+(ROW()-1)*7-1
Give it a try,
Jerry

Another date formating issue

I want the date to appear in Mmm-dd format - but I keep
getting the full ODBC date format
my query:
<cfquery name="monthlyChart" datasource="2onboard">
SELECT distance, time, walkDate
FROM bockWalk
WHERE month(walkDate)=#month(Now())# AND
year(walkDate)=#year(Now())#
</cfquery>
my cfchart:
<cfchart format="swf"
style="/xml/dailyDistanceGraphs.xml"
chartheight="175"
chartwidth="575"
showlegend="no"
showborder="yes"
show3d="no"

yaxistitle="Mileage">
<cfchartseries type="bar"
query="monthlyChart"
valuecolumn="distance"
itemcolumn="walkDate"
seriescolor="ff0000">
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
I've even tried formating it with an XML file
Part of XML file
<xAxis>
<labelStyle isMultiline="false" orientation="vertical"

Can you explain, or point me to a source, of how your lines
work? - I really need to learn XML but it just doesn't seem to
quite make sense to me.
Your entries are all in one column because either:
(1) You did not set the parseFormat pattern to match what was
being returned by the database
or
(2) The chart granularity is set for monthly data and the
data does not span enough time. Change the dateTimeStyle to:
<dateTimeStyle majorUnit="Day" minorUnit="Day"/>
<labelFormat style="ShortDate" pattern="Mmm-dd" /> did
not work because (1) you needed to switch the axis mode to datetime
and (2) the chart engine is very stupid and needs to be told
exactly how to parse the values returned in the query. That is the
purpose of the <parseFormat> tag.
Finally, you do not need to learn XML per se.
The XML styles are covered, a little, in the docs starting at
<cfchart>
There is a handy tool, webcharts designer, that you can use
to generate xml styles at:
c:\CFusionMX7\charting\webcharts.bat
The Webcharts user guide covers the available styles in more
detail. You can download that here:

Date Axis in Charts

I've seen the thread that says Numbers does not support a chart with a date axis. That is, a chart derived from a table that has a date column with dates irregularly spaced in time.
For example, here's a table of visits to a supermarket and the price of Wheaties on each visit:
DATE PRICE
8/12/90 $3.50
8/14/90 $3.60
9/2/92 $4.30
6/4/94 $4.00
Right now, if you turn this into a chart, you get a graph with each data point paced equally apart. Useless. What you want is a chart with an x-axis that's a date range, with each data point plotted at the appropriate point along that range.
I'm surprised that Apple doesn't support this feature. So, two questions.
1. Anyone know if this is in the pipeline for the next version of Numbers? I'm ready to chuck Excel, but this is a show-stopper for me. Can't switch without this feature. Anyone know when the next version is due?
2. Anyone know any reasonable workarounds?
Thanks.

I really don't understand why.
You had a 30 days free trial version giving enough time to see if the app was fitting your needs.
But don't worry, it appears that you are numerous to do that.
To be back to the app itself, it appears that the choices ruling dates are not perfectly consistent.
For some aspects they looks like strings, for others, they look like numbers.
I was acustomed to dates being a number displaid as a dateString.
For instance, if a cell contains 37995 in an AW spreadsheet, when I give it the date format, it is displaid as: 10/01/2008 (I am using a French system).
In Numbers it's not exactly that and I can't get it displaying 37995 as a date.
In fact I knows, but it requires an AppleScript.
If someone found a way to do that with Numbers's functions, I am interested.

Data format to transfer data through DTW

Dear all,
I can't find the documentation which has information about Data Format to fill template to transfer data via DTW to SAP B1.

etc ..
Anyone can help ?

Surya,
Please take a look at the Wiki e-book. It seems you are trying the Chart of Accounts template.
