Dynamic Category labels in chart components

When the data is dynamically changing, how do we handle variable category labels in chart components?

Found the answer :). There is this option of ignore blank cells under behavior->common tab..

Chart Components : Option to select a item for drill down by Label name

Hi
Currently for all Chart components in Xcelsius in Drill down mode we do not have the option to insert the X Axis Label values by selecting the Label on the X- Axis. It is made mandatory that we should click on any of the Series and that too we get only Position or Value but not Label.
Why should some one necessarily click on a particular series to drill down. Why cant he drill down by just clicking on x axis label. This seems to be a general requirement but I did not find this option. Am I missing something?
I want to check whether if we will do have the option to select the label name by just clicking on the X-axis labels.
Please note: I know the other alternatives of getting the label by enabling a series and inserting the position and using some label based menu to derive the Label.
Regards
Gangadhar

hi
then do like this
dont use drill down option for that.
take push buttons and one combo box.
place those pushbuttons into X-Axis Labels and transparent them.
combobox is used for dynamic Data Retrival.
in ComboBox Component behavior properties you have option Selected Item(Type and Item) in that item should be map to Pushbutton Destination cell.
you will get data as per your Requirement(Like you can drill down from X-axis Labels).

How to Change Chart Category Labels(X) Alignment?

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to change the alignment of category labels in a line chart in Xcelsius?
The default appears to be vertical, but I have some long category labels that completely compress the chart, is there a way to angle the labels, wrap the text, or make them display horizontally?
Thanks for looking,
Gary

Hello
It s is not possible. we can expert this one the next relase of xcelius 2010.

Category labels fail to update in column and bar charts

I originally posted this comment in another thread (Re: Category labels fail to update). I thought I should repost it, as the issue still exists after installing SP1 Fix Pack 2 (version 5.1.2.0), and it wasn't clear from the previous thread that the problem had been logged.
If you have a bar chart or stacked bar chart, the category labels do not update with the underlying data when you have the "Horizonal (Value) Axis Labels" box unchecked. Same effect with a column chart if the "Vertical (Value) Axis Labels" box is unchecked.
I'm getting around the problem in the meantime by keeping the box checked but changing the font size to zero, which reduces the labels to small dashes, and then using a font colour that matches the background as much as possible.
... by the way, another issue I see in this same area is that although there are separate checkboxes in charts for choosing whether to display titles and subtitles, it is not possible to select just titles - both checkboxes appear to be locked together.
- Peter

Hi Tammy,
I didn't regard #2 as bug - in fact I thought it was helpful to be able to set the size to zero as a workaround to the problem outlined in #1.
Regarding #3, if this is by design, then I'd suggest that it's a poor design choice to have checkboxes next to both titles and subtitles, since this implies that they should be able to be separately controlled.
Something else I've noticed with this formatting area is that the position and offset controls are disabled, and there doesn't appear to be any way to use them. It would be very helpful to be able to use these to move the position of chart titles. In a dashboard I'm currently building, we have a large stack of charts sized very small, to attempt to resemble the 'sparkline' concept. But the chart titles are so high, it's not clear which chart they refer to (they look like they might refer to the chart above it). As a result, I've had to remove the chart titles and place independent labels over top of each chart to be able to position them closer to the chart's display area.

SSRS Radar Chart change category label color

Hello,
Recently my client asks me to change the category label color in a radar chart. They want the label show different colors as demanded.
Ex. question 1 to question 4 : Orange
question 2 to question 8 : Green
question 9 to question 12: Blue
I've tried every expression I know (iif, switch...etc), nothing works.
Does someone has an idea about that?

Hi Isabel.zy,
t find a property that can control the color of category group label in Radar Chart. It seems that the feature is not supported in current release of Reporting Services.
If you have any concerns about this function in Reporting Service, I would suggest you submitting a wish at

Getting BEx query header data into Xcelsius for line chart Category Labels?

Hello - Is it possible to get header data from BEx queries into Xcelsius so they can be used for Category Labels in a line chart?
We have a BEx query that displays 16 weeks of shipment trends by column and text variables are used to display the respective date selection for each of the weeks in the query header but When connecting QaaWs to Xcelsius, the header row does not get displayed.
When using LiveOffice, the header row seems to come thru with the correct dates for each of the weeks but if you are stacking more than one connection than you will get an extra header row for each connection.
Are there any tricks to hide a header row in a LiveOffice document?
Is there anyway to display the header row from QaaWs in Xcelsius?
Any other work arounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Derek,
Below are my inputs...
-->Using QAAWS you will not be able to get the header data, so you will have to maintain header data manually in Xcelsius (Spreadsheet).
-->Using Live office you will be able to get the header data, and if you are using multiple live office connections, then you need to use cell reference formulas and format the spreadsheet (Xcelsius) as you require.

Series Implementation in chart components

Hi Everybody,
I want to design a custom line chart component for xcelsius. Unfortunately I could not add series to my chart component as it implemented in xcelsius line chart. I am new to xcelsius and I am not getting idea, when I will modify a property in component, how it will reflect in the property sheet. I don't know how the series part works in xcelsius components and each series holds its respective data.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Let me explain you with a simple example:
Data:
         Product 1, Product 2
2007, 10          , 20
2008, 30          , 50
2009, 40          , 60
Drag and drop line chart on canvas, and go to properties of the chart.
Select radio button By Series and click +
Name: Product 1
Values(Y): select the cells under product 1 i.e. 10, 30 and 40
Category Labels(X): Select cells that contains year i.e. 2007, 2008, 2009
Click + to add another series
Name: Product 2
Values(Y): select the cells under product 1 i.e. 20, 50 and 60
That's it...save and preview...you will understand how the series in this chart works.

Radar plot with category label changed

Hi
I tried this example vi, Line Graph (Excel).vi, with some modification as shown in the attached picture. I changed the plot to a xlRadar. After I run the vi, I got the result as shown in another attached picture. I would like to know how to change the font size of the Category Label programmatically in my vi.
Thank you & Regards
Lee

Lee,
I thought that the example would work the same with the line graph and the radar graph, but it looks like I was mistaken. I attempted to drill down to the property nodes and change the font size there, but this was unsuccessful. Digging into the lower level VIs which the Set Graph Font VI calls, I could not find a way to do this either.
The problem stems from the Axis Type input on the Set Graph Font VI. The options are xlvalue, xlcategory, and xlseriesaxis. Certain scale types cannot be used with certain chart types. For instance, xlSerisAxis cannot be used with any chart type because it is only supported in 3D charts (which we do not support in RGT). Further, xlCategory is only valid with the xlXY charts and xlBubble charts--which the radar graph is not part of.
Therefore, you won't be able to change the category label font size with the built in functionality of the RGT. Since the RGT uses ActiveX calls to Excel to manipulate the graphs, if you wanted to build in this functionality, you could do so with ActiveX. Your best source for this would be the MSDN.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Category labels fail to update

Hi,
I have two charts which which are updated via a web service they are set to update using a cell value trigger, a combo box is attached to the cell and when the value changes the data is refreshed, both charts update but the category labels on the second chart fails to update although the bar chart is refreshed and the legends show the new values that should be seen in the category labels. Why are the new values not reflected in the labels? If I point a single value control at the same data the value is updated!
Regards,
joe

I'm observing a similar issue (version 5.1.1.0, build 12.1.1.344).
If you have a bar chart or stacked bar chart, the category labels do not update with the underlying data when you have the "Horizonal (Value) Axis Labels" box unchecked. Same effect with a column chart if the "Vertical (Value) Axis Labels" box is unchecked.

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

Using flex 2.0 charting components with flex 3

I purchased and installed a flex 2 charting components
library so i could use it in my AIR application development. It
installed alongside the 3.0 beta visualization components so that I
now have two copies of each component in my charts folder. I can't
see how to ensure that the right library is used so that the charts
actually appear when i run my app. I'd hate to think i just threw
away $300 so any help would be greatly appreciated - .

Are you using Flex Builder 3? Flex 3.0 beta Data
visualization components are available as part of FB 3 only. You
can select either 2.0.1 hotfix 3 charts (consists of only
charts.swc) or 3.0.0 data visualization (consists of
datavisualization.swc). through multiple sdks feature of FB3. For
flex 3 beta, flex 2 charting key will work. so if you want to try
out new features in charts and new components like Advanced data
grid you can switch to 3.0.0 sdk and use same flex 2 charting key
to remove watermark from charts.

Display Dynamic HTML beside Flash Chart in Chart Region

Hello,
I have a vertical 3D flash chart with some categories I,II,IV... on x-axix. I have to show a legend beside the chart dynamically depending on the categories displayed like (I - PC, II - TV, IV-Laptop....) First I tried to do this with static data. I modified, Region Source of Chart region to include the legend. I am successful to create a table & put some static html code. Now I want this to be dynamic.
I found that with shotcuts I can put dynamic HTML code. I created shortcut with PL/SQL & successfully displayed them in a 'HTML REGION WITH SHORTCUTS', but I want that in Chart Region, not as a separate region. Shortcut is not working in Chart region.
How can I achieve this? Is there a way to call a process or substitution string or some thing from Chart Region to display my legend dynamically beside the chart.
Experts any hint is appreciated.
Sowji.

Experts,
Can you please give any hint how this can be achieved? If I keep the dynamic legend as HTML with Shortcut region, the width & height are not matching with the chart region as it is dynamic. Also, I am unable to combine both 'chart' & 'html with shortcut' region to look like one region. So I am looking for options to insert the dynamic html in to chart region.

How to add line series dynamically to a line chart in flex?

hi..i need to add line series dynamically to a line chart..depending on an array..the application is this..i have an array which stores the details of the users connected to an fmi server..the chart should display the bandwidth of each client..so the users should be added and removed from the chart dynamically...

Hi
1.I am giving you solution for dynamically adding values to the dropdown
public void addValue( ) //Method Name in Component controller
    //@@begin addValue()
          IWDNodeInfo nodeinfo = wdContext.nodeNodeTestData().getNodeInfo();// Node should be map to the view's Node
          IWDAttributeInfo att = nodeinfo.getAttribute("VechileTypes");// Attribute by which dropdown in bound//
          IModifiableSimpleValueSet svSet = att.getModifiableSimpleType().getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
          svSet.put(wdContext.currentNodeTestDataElement().getInpAtt(),wdContext.currentNodeTestDataElement().getInpAtt());
    //@@end
2.   wdThis.wdGetLangCompController().addValue(); // call this method in the point where u want to add values to the dropdown.

SQL Subscription field shows * only with Dynamic Text Label in SQL query

We are using Hyperion Analyzer 7.2.x for showing budget and actual data. I have to show this financial data based on the security e.g. person in IT can see only IT dept. data. Hence I want to use dynamic text label <<userid>> for the security based on the person logging in to Analyzer.
But when I use dynamic text label <<userid>> in the SQL query in SQL Spreadsheet, SQL Subscription field shows * only selection option. Does anyone have idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-SV

Hi
Okay i know this is a bit crazy way.....but i think this is the solution for your issue.
Create a report without the where clause (<<useris>>) then add a filter (sql subscription) then you can find all the values that are there in the SQL field (try to increase the query limit it is set to 250 as default) then edit the spreadsheet and add the where clause (<<userid>>).
This will help you having the filter and the dynamic text label. I think there is an issue when you try to filter it with a where clause.
Hope it helps.

Does the "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" dynamic category rule include Status Managers?

I tested the following scenario in Project Server 2010 and 2013:
Assume you have three users: User1, User2, and User3.
User1 has RBS value Org.UnitA
User2 and User3 both have RBS value Org.UnitB
User3 belongs to a group that gets permissions to view projects from a category with "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" setting enabled.
User2 creates ProjectABC and by default becomes the project Owner. User2 creates a task in the project, and by default becomes the Status Manager of the task.
User2 then changes the project owner to User1 and republishes the project. User2 remains the Status Manager in the project task.
User3 can still see ProjectABC. Apparently this is because User2, who has the same RBS value as User3, is still a Status Manager of project tasks.
If I change User2 RBS value to Org.UnitA, then User3 can no longer see ProjectABC. Note that User2 is not the project Owner at this stage, but the change in User2's RBS still affects the visibility of the project.
It seems to me that in "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" dynamic category rule, the "Owner" should be "Owner or Status Manager".
Is this a bug or by design?

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for going through the trouble of reproducing the behaviour. It's interesting to know that Effective Rights in Project Online displays different results.
The system in which I tested this scenario is updated with the December CU, so I'm guessing you'll still get the same result after updating your environment.
In my usage scenario, a user needs to create projects on behalf of other users, and then change the Owner. Unfortunately this doesn't change the Status Manager of tasks, and consequently the visibility of the project is not what was expected.
The user who creates the project can change the Owner, but can't change the Status Manager. The new owner would have to open the project for editing in Project Pro, change the Status Manager value of every task, and republish. Precisely the sort of extra
work that the users want to avoid.
Using delegation might be a workaround, but opens up a whole new can of worms in terms of information security. It's unfortunate that the "The Project Owner has the same RBS value as the User" setting doesn't do what it says, but potentially
opens up visibility of projects to a wider audience than intended.
