Drill-down graphs/charts

I am new to Crystal Reports. I am using CR 2008. I have a vision for a spider-web (radar) chart where I can click on a portion of the web to drill down into the data that makes up that portion of the report.
Is this possible? If so, generally, how should I conceive of accomplishing this?

Drill down graph

Hi, Can some body please point me to any forum thread/ artical / document which shows the example/tips to create drill down graph.
Thanks

It depends on what kind of drill you have set up. I believe you have setup Navigation Drill wherein the target is a tabular report instead of a graphical report. Just change the compound layout of the report to contain a graphical chart and that should give you a chart drill.
Thanks,

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

Can I navigate and drill down in chart and pivot table?

In the fact, the end user want to navigate to a detail report request when drill down to the final level.
I know when use table, I can navigate on data and drill down on column.
But in chart and "pivot table", I do not find the option of interaction to achieve this.
Any suggestion?

You can drill down in charts but I just saw you can't in pivots (strange because I assumed that that must be possible)
However, you can always use guided navigation!

Drill down on Chart in CR XI R2

HI
I am using Crystal Report XI R2 to design reports. And we are inviking CR through Java API(GWT).
Does Crystal report supports Drill Down on Chart (Clicking on pie should bring up the related detailes section).
I could see it n designer , But CR Viewer is displaying chart as image so I do not see Drill down enablen in viewer.
Do we need to do use some API or Setting to enable in viewer. Or I am doing something wrong.

While installing, you were asked to enter a MySQL root user and a BusinessObjects user. You can install MySQL Administrator and Query Browser to log on to your DB.

I don't think I understood your question completely though, if you installed Crystal Reports Server with MySQL as CMS database, the installation process will have configured and set up MySQL as your CMS db automatically.

Hi,
I have three level hierarchies Country, State and customer for drill down
Country should be shown in bar chart.
When report is opend first time, this bar chart will be displayed.
Now only one chart is showing for coutry.
I will start drill down.
If I click on the bar(coutry bar chart) , below of the bar chart, map chart should be displayed for state.
If I click on map chart(state map chart) , below of the map chart, line chart should be displayed for customer.
Now there are three charts bar, map and line after drill down.
How to achieve these please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,

Alering the Chart is not possible in webi or Deski. You can alter hte header or title but not the chart. You can do this in Dashboard or in Xcelsius.

Graph label in Drill down graph to display only the lowest level label

Recently I have upgraded from OBIEE 10 to 11g.
Some reports have a country -> region -> branch drilldown, for which hierarchy is created in business layer of RPD. The graph, drills down from Country -> Regions -> Branches and displays the measures accordingly. But the horizontal label displays the full hierarchy , like CountryName,RegionName and Branch Name. In 10g, I used to get the Branch name only in the axis label.
I would like to display only the Region names when Country is drilled down and the branch name alone when the Region is drilled down.
Kindly help.

In 11g it is bug....
For this u should create 3 individual reports (1 for country, 2. Region, 3. Branch) and give action link one to another.
for filter make sure the required column "Is Prompted" for every detailed reports.
Pls mark if it helps

Passing Parameters from JSP with Drill Down Graphs

Hello,
I have 2 JSP's where when user clicks on the bar graph it drill down and goes to next JSP, it is hyperlink. How can I pass parameters using HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter
My JSP code is something like this which is pasted below.
StandardCategoryURLGenerator("xy_chart.jsp","series","section")) is the function, I need to use for drill down.
Kindly help me with this and any help is highly appreciable.
Thanks
************ JSP**************
CategoryAxis categoryAxis = new CategoryAxis("Site");
ValueAxis valueAxis = new NumberAxis("Value");
StackedBarRenderer3D rend = new StackedBarRenderer3D();
StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator tt = new StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator();
rend.setItemURLGenerator(new StandardCategoryURLGenerator("xy_chart.jsp","series","section"));

Trenton,
One way to pass parameters to other portlets on the page while using a form is to create a hidden form field and assign it the value that you need to pass to it. If the hidden field has an unqualified name (i.e. not created by using the portletParameter method) then it will be seen by all portlets on the page.
Since all the form fields are passed on to the query string as part of the URL, you can then use request.getParameter(paramName) to take different actions in your portlets.
You could use different techniques where based on the values you pass on to parameters of the portlets, some portlets make specific updates to themselves. Though the whole page would be refreshed, you could allow portlets to decide based on the incoming parameter value whether they need to change or not.
So given the functionality you desire - here's something you might try.
1) Create hidden form field that gets populated when you select values from the drop-down lookup.
One way to do this would be to add a onChange ="populateMyHiddenParam(this.form)" to your form item that changes.
And you could add a small JavaScript function that populates the parameter.
e.g.
function populateMyHiddenParam(thisForm){
thisForm.myHiddenParam.value=thisForm.elements[4].value;
2)In the other JSP portlet (on the same page) where you need to populate a table based on the value selected, just get the parameter value passed by using request.getParameter("myHiddenParam").
Since you want this parameter to be read by other portlets, you need to create it as an unqualified parameter. So dont call the HTTPPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter while assigning the name to the form component for the hidden field.
Hope this helps.

Drill Down Flash Charts dont refresh in IE

Hi Friends,
I am facing a typical issue when I have drill down charts in IE.
To mimic the scenario that I am facing in my project I have created a sample project in my workspace ntekupal with login guest/apex_demo. Run the application project Emp Dept Dashboard.
Note : Make sure you use IE to reproduce this issue
Issue Reproduction :
1) Select 'Accounting' department from the Departments bar chart by double clicking it(this is one more issue in IE which really annoys me).
2) Navigate to Employees chart and observe that the Deptno text box shows '10' with the list of employees in the bar chart for Deptno - 10.
3) Go back to previous page using breadcrumbs.
4) Select 'Research' and it would again put you back to Employees page showing employee list for Deptno - 20.
5) Now repeat step-3 and select again 'Accounting'
6) Observe that the employees shown are not for Accounting Department. It is still showing for Research but the deptno text box would show the value 10(which is correct).
7) Refresh the page then the employee bar chart would display the actual employees in Research deptmnt.
Now run the same application in Mozilla and it works perfect.
I know this could be some caching issue in IE but not sure how to fix this.
It really freaks me out and my users do not wan to use Mozilla. In my project I am using a bunch of flash charts(bar & pie).
I appreciate if I can get some of your precious inputs on this situation.
Thanks,
Raj.

I have to, respectfully, take the opposite point of view on this topic. It is very much the applications responsibility to communicate to the browser that the page is dynamic. There are even meta tags specifically for this purpose.
That said, I concur to the true underlying concern of the above two posts that you would not want a page updating any IE global settings.
There are commonly two solutions used to solve page caching issues:
1) There are meta tags shared disparately by certain browsers to disable cacheing, set expiration dates, and similar activities. Each browser honors the settings differently, however, you can safely "stack" several versions together and there are web-sites that suggest the appropriate combination to hit the major browsers.
The tags to look for are CACHE-CONTROL, EXPIRES, REVISIT, and possibly others. Look them up under each browsers developer documentation as some variation exists in usage. The latter two are for search engines, but several of the browsers will use them in normal page hits.
That said, IE inconsistently honors these tags, even from version to version, so,
2) The end-all hack solution is to include a random value in the URL to create a unique URL on each attempt to access the page. Normally this can be achieved through a page or application item that is update on every page view and is passed on the URL line.
This solution is also commonly used because Proxy's may not honor the tag and so will continue to re-send the proxy version every time the browser requeries.
Whether this is possible in the Chart drill down I do not know as I haven't used this feature yet, but these are the two solutions you will find browsing the web against page caching.
I have invariably always had to resort to (2) to get absolutely real time data, unless I am in a corporate environment that used a standard and stable version of the browser.
Under no circumstances would I prefer to set the IE's always retrieve latest page setting, as this affects every page that IE requests.
Hope this is helpful,
Barney

Drill down pie chart using SVG

Having read several posts in this forum regarding SVG, pie charts and drilling down, I get the impression that it is possible, using the "link" column in the chart query, to drill down to another page.
My requirement is similar in that given a pie chart, the user can click on one of the sections of the pie and see more detail in another pie chart. The difference is that the page should not change (ie: other graphics and content ought not change when the pie chart is clicked).
Has anyone worked out a solution for something like this?
Is it, for example, possible to, on clicking the pie chart, have a conditional display set for a previously hidden chart and hide the original chart?
Your replies are appreciated.

I just re-read this and realize you want it on the same page. Same logic applies. Create a hidden item, a second chart region taking in the parameter from the first, and set it to show only when the hidden item is not null.
Let me know what you think:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20332:1
Code for the first chart is:
select 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
       cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name,
       count(ord.order_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_customers cu
where cu.customer_id = ord.customer_id
group by 'f?p='||:APP_ID||':1:::::P1_DRILLDOWN:'||cu.customer_id,
cu.cust_first_name || ' ' || cu.cust_last_name2nd Chart:
select null,
       product_name,
       count(ite.product_id)
from demo_orders ord,
       demo_order_items ite,
       demo_product_info pro
where ord.order_id = ite.order_id and
       ite.product_id = pro.product_id and
       ord.customer_id = :P1_DRILLDOWN
group by product_nameModify as necessary.
