Diagonal line on SSRS line chart

Hi all,
I'm struggling with a charting issue that I was hoping someone here might be able to help with - I've looked through various blogs without success. I need to insert a diagonal line running the full width of a line chart, representing the linearly increasing
target value over a month. The actual data will then be a secondary series on the same vertical axis, showing progress against the target based on today's data.
This report has several limitations that I should emphasise before someone says "Well, why can't you just generate the target data in the SQL query?". It's for Dynamics CRM Online, so the only type of data source and query allowed is FetchXML.
I can't even use a simple SQL query that returns constant values, let alone an actual SQL DB query. It also doesn't seem to be possible to have any custom code in the report, which makes it even more frustrating. FetchXML is just not set up to do things like
return constant values in a query, or return a dataset which is the set of days in the current month.
What I do have is two datasets, one of which returns the actual data, which I've used as the first series in the table, and a second dataset that returns a single value that represents the target for the month. There's no way, as far as I'm aware, to cross-join
that with a set of dates and then use a calculated field in the dataset to turn it into a linear series.
I've set the min and max values of the X-axis to show me all dates, and my initial solution to the problem was to have a horizontal line at the target value, as shown below (red dotted line). However, I've been asked to change that to the solid red diagonal
line as shown:
Series 1 (Total order value) is the RunningValue of the daily order values, summed across the dates.
Series 1 data looks something like this:
[Date] [Order Value]
1 Mar 100
3 Mar 20
3 Mar 35
24 Mar 400
Series 2 data just has
[Target Name] [Target Value]
Sales Target 25000
Does anyone have ideas on how I can do this? I'm happy to take any suggestions; the line doesn't have to be interactive or be an action, so it could even be rendered directly onto the chart, if that's possible. The only limitation is that it needs to be
viewed on screen, and be printable. I'd prefer some sort of elegant approach that allows me to do it as two series on the same chart, but frankly at this point I'm beyond caring how it's done - so long as it works, it can be held together with chewing gum
and string.

Hi Anuruddha,
When you want to see the diagonal line, you should divide the target value with number of values in x-axis,
let say Month March has 31 days, your target is 25000
then 25000/31=806.4516129032258
But to do dynamic you need to get the number of days in month
=day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))
Create another series like below shown:-
a Above expression :-
= (Sum(Fields!target.Value, "DataSet2")/ (day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))))*Fields!id.Value
Run the report:-
Orange Line is yours previously, Red Line is what you want.
I am doing calculation in series, so there is no problem for you as you can't write SQL query.
Below is the RDL code , which will help you to check the expressions.

Column & Line in a single chart. Ignore Grouping for Line

Hi,
Here is the scenario to show a chart for "Resource Allocation to selected Projects and capacity".
1. Show Staked Columns for Projects<o:p></o:p>
2. Show Capacity of Resource with Line Chart (both should be in same chart)<o:p></o:p>
3. Group By Projects(Series Group) and Category Groups By Month.<o:p></o:p>
Following is the desired out:
Problem I'm facing:
I was able to show both Columns and line by changing the chart type for capacity. But issue is that Group By (series Grouping) is applying to Line (Resource capacity) as well. So multiple resource capacity lines are appearing on the
graph. It would be good, If charts allows to display only one line by summing all group values for resource capacity.
So, Can we stop considering group By for line chart(Resource capacity)?
Below screen shows that how current report displaying.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Ram

Hi ram,
According to your description, I can reproduce the same issue. Since the values in the chart is always relate to Category Groups and Series Groups. The behavior is by design in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
In SSRS, chart is similar to the matrix.
The Columns group in the matrix is identical to the Category Groups area in the chart.
The Rows group in the matrix is identical to the Series Groups area in the chart.
The Data area in the matrix is identical to the Values area in the chart.
Since we add data in the Values dialog box, it is in the Category Groups and Series Groups scope.

Slope line in SSRS

How to create slope line in SSRS. Like we have three points. The line should tilt based on the centre point
Thanks in advance

Hi PrakashThandra,
As per my understanding, you want to create a line chart, in which the line tilt based on the center point. If that is the case, we can use smooth line chart to achieve your goal as Olaf mentioned. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
In Layout view, in the Toolbox, click Chart.
Click on the design surface where you want the upper-left corner of the chart, the Select Chart Type dialog box appears.
Select Smooth Line, then click OK.
Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.
Add one or more fields to the Values area. This information will be plotted on the value axis.
Add a grouping field to the Category Groups area. When you add this field to the Category Groups area, a grouping field is automatically created for you. Each group represents a data point in your series.
To summarize the data by category, right-click the data field and click Series Properties. In the Category box, select the category field from the drop-down list. Click OK.
For more information about Creating chart reports, please refer to the following document:
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/reporting-services/sql-server-reporting-services-advanced-charting/
If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Any Way to Change Thickness of Connector Lines for all lines of a Chart?

Post Author: ScottL
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi All,
I am trying to change the thickness of a Chart's Connector Lines for all lines of a chart and cannot find a way to accomplish this. I can go into Report Preview and individually change the thickness one at a time, but what if I do not know how many lines I will have (as in a Line Chart) ? I can't find a way to do this through Crystal Reports XI.
Many thanks in advance!
Scott

I think it's even easier to just match frame the "source file"... put your playhead on the clip you want to speed change in your sequence. Then type optioncmdf. Perform the speed change in the Viewer, then simply cut it in... Might help to put it up above the older, use the double arrow selection tool facing right to move the clips past this change later... pull the upper track speed changed clip down over the old, and viola.
Gotta say though, it's a lot easier to perform the speed change in the Viewer, and edit it all in as you go rather than doing it after you've put the clip in a sequence. (not always possible to determine what the speed change should be maybe, but sure easier.... FCP 7 handles this problem a lot better for sure, and worth the upgrade price if your machine is compatible.

Remove grid lines by default in chart view

Hello,
I'm working in version 10.1.3.4.1. I've been trying to remove the grid lines from the default chart view. I've read some posts on here and in the blogs about changing the default chart look, but I haven't seen anything specific to grid lines. I think I need to edit the pcxml files located in .../s_oracle10/popbin. I've been messing with these two files:
- bar.pcxml (this seems to be for horizontal bar charts only)
- column.pcxml (this seems to be for vertical bar charts only)
Within <ValueScale> and <CategoryScale> I tried changing the MajorGrid and MinorGrid parameters to values like 'Disabled' and 'False' but this seemed to have no effect. I also tried changing the color from #eeeee to something else but this also seemed to have no effect at all.
I've replicated whatever changes I've made to the corresponding file in the oc4j directory. I am restarting all services after making my changes. I have been able to get some changes to bar.pcxml and column.pcxml show up in the application. I was able to change the default BarStyle from 'Cylinder' to 'Rectangle' successfully, so I think my process of editing the file, copying it to the corresponding oc4j directory, and then bouncing the services is working.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting all of the grid lines to go away by default? So far I've only tried removing them from bar charts, but ultimately I want them off by default on line charts as well.

Are you able to acheive this.?
PCXML script is used for chart rendering, and with that I think you can't demark the Gridlines.
The following Xml file gives the definitions for the chart components including gridlines.
chartviewtemplates.xml
Which inturn refers to the following js for gridlines
i think you have to work on the Js here demark the grid lines by default
<Oracle_BIHome>\web\app\res\b_mozilla\views\chart
dlggridlineseditor.js
Before doing any changes take the backup.
Thanks,
Vino

Plot line, bar and pie chart

Anyone can let me know where can i learn or tutorial on how to plot line, bar and pie chart by using java2D... (no third-party software)....
thanks in advance.

Here's a pie chart app I made for an earlier question:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PieChart {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    Font font = new Font("lucida sans unicode", Font.PLAIN, 16);
    g2.setFont(font);
    FontRenderContext frc = g2.getFontRenderContext();
    int width = getWidth();
    int height = getHeight();
    int cx = width/2;
    int cy = height/2;
    int dia = (int)Math.min(width, height) - 2*PAD;
    g2.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double((width - dia)/2, (height - dia)/2, dia, dia));
    // draw zero datum
    double radians = 0;
    int x = cx + (int)((dia/2) * Math.cos(radians));
    int y = cy - (int)((dia/2) * Math.sin(radians));
    g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(cx, cy, x, y));
    String s;
    int dataWidth, dataHeight, deltaR, rXInc, rYInc;

Drawing a line straight across a chart

Is there a way to draw a horizontal line straight across a
chart, say a column chart. I want the line to extend all the way
from the y-axis to the far right of the chart.

BI Publisher 11g. Plotting multiple lines in a line graph

Hi,
We have a requirment where we need to show multiple lines in a line graph. I have gone through the earlier posts for this topic but when I am following the same steps I am not able to resolve the problem.
I have 3 mterics: Month (which will be X-axis) , Size (Which will be on y-axis) and Name. I have names for 10 tables and i want to display 10 lines in my line graph.
In the chart generator, I am using Month in "Labels", Table name for "color" field" and size in the "values" section.
When I am trying this I am geting the following error in chart generator. It says " The data required 2 columns. The data has only 1 column." To trick the system, I also put a dummy column with static value of 1, but then also i am getting the same error, that it requires 2 columns.
the sample XML for the chart is like this:
<G_2>
<TABLE_SIZE_TRENDS>43.90832000000001</TABLE_SIZE_TRENDS>
<TABLE_NAME>Table1</TABLE_NAME>
<MONTH_NAME_TRENDS>April</MONTH_NAME_TRENDS>
</G_2>
- <G_2>
<TABLE_SIZE_TRENDS>69.62872</TABLE_SIZE_TRENDS>
<TABLE_NAME>Table2</TABLE_NAME>
<MONTH_NAME_TRENDS>April</MONTH_NAME_TRENDS>
</G_2>
It looks pretty straightforward but I am stuck in it for quite some time now.
All your guidance is greatly appreciated in this regard.

Aakarsh

any help? still need help. thanks

SSRS Column Chart Design Returning values in a format different from SSRS -SSAS Query Designer

Hi All,
I have an SSAS cube Measure Group with Multiple Measures that I am attempting to return on one SSRS report and reflect the
values using a ssrs column chart.
My Measure Group (Patients).
Measures:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrainef
Demension:
Time (Year) :filtered to 2012 & 2013
In my SSRS query designer I have filtered the above Measures with Time Dimesion year 2012 & 2013
and the data is returned as :
Year |PatientsOnMeds|PatientOnRelapse|TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd|NewlyRegisteredPatients|
2012 | 700 | 526 | 25 | 456
2013 | 245 | 245 | 15 | 70
Now the problem is when I return this data on the column Chart it's in messed up mesh
On the chart Data:
-Values :Measures
-Series Group: Dimension
The report values are returned in multiple columns for each value segmented by year i.e year 2012,Year 2013.
I want a single column for each Measure (value) for each single year and The chart axis to reflect the measures(values)
instead of grouping values according to series group.
instead the legend returns:
-Year A -PatientsOnMeds
-Year A -PatientOnRelapse
-Year B -PatientsOnMeds
-Year B -PatientOnRelapse
I would like the legend to reflect on -Year A,Year B in color code that will be highlighted in the column values.
Please point me in the right course if you can.Your insights are highly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your kind response.
In actual I want the legend to show:
-2012
-2013
And the bottom axis to show:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrained
Indicating in color code for Year 2012 and Year 2013.
This the challenge that I am struggling with.I hope you understand my scenario.
It aint easy.

HOW can i rotate the loop as many lines of multi line container in BPM

Hi All
I have to send an idoc to 2 Receivers by spliting the message.
Based on the occurance of a particular source segments i need to create those many instance of targets.
IDOC ---> Rec1 (More than one message instance)
     ---> Rec2 (More than one message instance)
I have taken messages of Receiver into a multi line container1
and messages of Receiver 2 into another multi line container2.
HOW can i rotate the loop as many lines of multi line container.
Thans
Prasad

Hi Raj
There are two webservices are 2 receivers.
In the idoc there is specific segment , which occurs unbounded,Each occurence we Need to check the value of a particual field and send to corresponding Receiver.
For Ex:
ZE1KONH (1..Unbounded)
   >MSFGN =004 --> Rec1
>> MSFGN==0009 Rec2
It could be like , 1 or more segm for Rec1 and 1 or more segm for Rec2
                        all are for Rec1 or All are for Rec2.
so in the tranformation we need to put all message of Rec1 in corresponding multiline container as well for Rec2. Then i need to send to correspongind Receiver.
So here i need to send all splited messages to appropriate receivers

GL account with line items in line type 'S' document split?

Hi Experts,
We found in PCP0 there are payroll documents which has GL account with with line items in line type 'S' document split. Unlike other line items with line type 'blank' these line items cannot be opened and display the wage type details. How can we know from which wage type these line items were created?
Regards,
Allan

These line items are caused by company transfer and they are cleared by themselves between companies.

Adding a new schedule line for a line item using bapi_po_change

hi experts,
can i know how to add a new schedule line for a line item using<u> bapi_po_change</u>. what are the parameters that need to be filed. i filled poitem with total quantities and poschedule table with 2 different schedule lines and passing as the parameter.but then i get the error saying item 0000 doesnt exist

Hi,
Please check if you have properly populated the following fields in POSCHEDULE:
PO_ITEM
SCHED_LINE
and the other fields required for your schedule line such as delivery date and quantity, etc.
After that, make sure to properly populate fields in POSCHEDULEX:
PO_ITEM -> same value as found in POSCHEDULE
SCHED_LINE -> same value as found in POSCHEDULE
All other values populated in POSCHEDULE should be ticked as 'X' in POSCHEDULEX.
Kind Regards,
Darwin
