ENH: Enable Dual-axis Bar Charts

Enhancement Request for SVG Charts (Bar, Line):
1) Allow specification of dual y-axis values, such that series a, b, and c can show relative to values on y-axis1 (on left side of chart) and series x, y, and z can show relative to values on y-axis2 (on right side of chart).
2) Format spacing of x-axis values across the width of the chart, not based on the max rows specified for the series. For example, showing weeks on the x-axis with max rows = 53, if actual rows in the chart is 13, the valules would spread out to fill the width of the axis, not leaving empty space for the remaining, unfilled, weeks.

Hi Lora,
Once you set a series to be displayed on the secondary axis, you will be able to configure the secondary axis on the Behavior and Appearance tabs.
Basically, if no series are plotted on the secondary axis, it will appear as if this capability is not available.
Please let me know if I have explained myself correctly.
Thanks,
Gerrit

Start with chart that looks like a column + line chart with a left & right Y axis. It should be the one on the bottom left. After plotting your two series, go to the chart inspector, series tab, and change the second series from line to column. Go to the Axis tab and choose to show the titles for the Y1 and Y2 axes.

Bar chart with dual axis plotting incorrectly

Hi,
I have created a BAR_VERT_CLUST2Y, which has 4 series of data.
The problem I am experiencing is that when the data is charted, it appears that only the first series of data charts correctly (i.e. from the left axis). The second series of data charts from the right axis and the remaining series all chart on the left axis. I would have thought that the first and second series use the left axis and the third and fourth use the right?
I would be grateful if anyone had any suggestions how this can be resolved or if they have come across something similar and found a way around it, it would be much appreciated?
Many thanks.
P.

Xcelsius does not currently support dual axis. However, the workaround to this is to layer two charts on top of each other. You would then need to add line components and labels to complete the effect.

Break for Horizontal Axis Labels in OBIEE 11g Bar Chart

Hi all,
I have a vertical bar chart created in OBIEE 11g. The horizontal axis (x-axis) is a compound of Scenario, Year, and Month. The chart width is already long enough so it cannot be made any longer.
The chart looks like this (the label of horizontal axis is staggered):
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
Actual Feb 2012____________Actual Apr 2012
___________Actual Mar 2012_____________Actual May 2012
How can I force the labels for the horizontal axis to be broken into 2 lines (or even 3 lines), so that it will look like this:
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___Actual________Actual________Actual________Actual
__Feb 2012_____Mar 2012_____Apr 2012______May 2012
Any advice? Thanks a lot!

Hi Stewart,
I could not try this yet, but how about 'Enabling the Contains HTML Markup' for the columns for Heading and including a '</br>' tag at the end of the name.
Ex: Column - >Properties -> column Format -> Column Heading -> Enable Contains HTML Markup -> Column Heading's suffix =less than symbol /br greater than symbol (Oracle forums is even break the line too!! ;) So included the text)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Y axis errors for apex 4.0 bar chart

I created a 2d stacking bar chart for the following query. The chart shows 1 1 2 2 3 on the y axis of the bar chart.
This strikes me as wrong. It appears Apex does not like doing charts for small values. :)
select null link, 1 time, 1 "sts1", 1 "sts2" from dual
union
select null link, 2 time, 0 "sts1", 2 "sts2" from dual
union
select null link, 3 time, 1 "sts1", 0 "sts2" from dual
If I change even one of the values to 5, then everything works fine.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Any thoughts such as "don't use labels" not appreciated so much.

I know this is a really old question but ...
I thought I'd provide a little insight since I had the same problem. If, as in the case described, the values are specified to have 0 decimal places, and the range of the data is, say, between 0 and a small number then the Y scale/range may be 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, ... But at 1 decimal place, these may display (truncated?/rounded) as 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, ...
The easy solution would be to specify 1 (or more) decimal places in the chart. However, the easy solution has other effects. My stacked bar chart was very dense with only enough room (enough width in the bar) to show a single digit for the Values. This became unreadable when the value 1 (one) was replaced by 1.2 and 2 by 2.3 as the displayed value was wider than the bar and they all ran together. So I unchecked to display Values. (Why couldn't the values display staggered like labels do so they they don't overlap?)
So even though, I had intended to display "values," I had to give that up when I specified additional decimals in the labels.

Bar chart with current date in X axis

Hello
I have attached a vi that I hoipe somebody can help with.
If you look at the vi, there are two bars showing.
1.How can I attach the current date to the X axis.
For instance.....suppose the first bar (far left) was produced with data from yesterday...then the X axis would indicate yesterdays date.
The next bar was produced from data obtained today, so would show todays date.....etc
An array of dates is not suitable, as no prior date knowledge is assumed......just the current date when the bar was graphed.
2. Can the date be vertical....or even fancier....on a 45 degree slope, upwards and to the right
Thank you and best regards
Ray
Solved!

Hi, this will plot what ever data you got with the current date on the X Axis. But remember that since this is a graph, any new value plotted will erase the previous one. Dont have LabVIEW 9 otherwise would have checked your VI out. This plots each value with the current date.
LabVIEW 8.2,8.6,2009...still learning

Stacked bar chart x axis crunching up

Post Author: Pranab
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have purchased Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I have used webservices call to get data from database.
One of the three charts of my dashboard is a stacked bar chart. Now my problem is, when the webservice gets data and refresh the chart, the x-axis of it becomes squeezed and the main chart becomes very small. It becomes so in runtime. However in design mode i didnt notice such behavior.
But same flash file s showing fine when I am using it somewhere else.
I am facing big trouble, as I tried to search in web about this problem, but couldnt find such case.

Hi Mirthu
I moved your post to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse SCN Space. Unfortunately, all I know about Java is that it's in the cup in front of me . But I will get someone to have a look that should be able to help you ASAP.

Display ISO week number instead of date on x axis in Bar Chart

Hi,
I've created a simple SSRS report based on bar chart that shows several milestones. Everything works fine for me except I’m not able to convert the date into ISO week number format.
I played around with different approaches. I was able to convert the date into an ISO week Format directly on the SQL Server. That
wasn't a problem.
But unfortunately I’m not able to display the week number on the horizontal axis in my Bar Chart. I tried both fields: TaskFinishDate and TaskFinishDateMS...
I would like to show the ISO week number instead of the date within the Bar Chart on the horizontal axis.
Any ideas/hints/help is really appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Per my understanding that you want to get the week number of the year based on the field "TaskFinishDate" which is datetime type and display the week number in the x-axis instead of the field "TaskFinishDate", right?
I have check the snapshot you have provided and it seems you have change the format of the datetime field in the x-axis like "dd.MM.YYYY", If you can't make the week number to display correctly in the x-axis, the issue can be caused by you haven't
change the format to Number in the category.
Details information below for you reference:
I assume you have use expression in the Label like below to convert the datatime TaskFinishDate in to ISO week number like below:
=DatePart(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
or
=DatePart("ww",Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
Right click the X-axis and select the "Horizontal Axis Properties", then click the Number to change the format to "Number" as below:
Preview you will get the weeknumber display in the x-axis correctly.
If you still have any problem, please feel to ask.

In BI Answers, show X axis series/unit in bar chart that has null data.

Hi,
I am showing data for each day of the week as a bar chart. Days of the week are the X axis. Sunday
sometimes has no data but I still want to show it.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks,
Graham

This will most likely need to be a modification in your RPD if not your data source. It can be accomplished in the RPD though.

Is it possible to vary the colours of bars on a bar chart on the same axis?

Is it possible to vary the colours of bars on a bar chart on the same axis (I would like every cell value below 7 to be in red and above 7 to appear in green)?

Thank you for picking up on my question. I have subsequently found a conversation thread which gave me a solution. I found that I needed to create additional rows to accomodate values above or below the level that required a different colour and then use a stacked bar chart. The following shows what I needed to create. Apologies for wasting your time, but I only found the relevant conversation after posting my question.

Y axis max ignored for horizontal stacked bar chart (SVG)

G'day,
I'm using the standard SVG horizontal stacked bar chart (multi-series). I have set the Y axis maximum value but it is ignored - bars are plotted to their maximum height.
I've had no such problem with vertical stacked bar charts.
We're running v2.2.0.00.32.
Is this a known bug?
Regards,
Chris.

I don't understand why you are soying it is not possible.
Actually I think it is and quite easily but maybe i missunderstand the question.
But anyway, here is what I would do:
In the spreadsheet, you can calculate the percentage of each status per project:
     Completed     Pending     Partially completed     Not Started
Project 1     78.10%     6.46%     10.51%     4.93%
Project 2     51.01%     2.62%     39.21%     7.15%
And then select these data for the stacked bar chart. Here you get the graph you are looking for.

Create bar chart w/ X-axis

I have a simple spreadsheet as shown below: (Both Col B and Col C are NOT header columns)
ColB ColC
1 10
2 20
3 30
When I highlighted them and created a 2-D bar chart, Numbers treated the data in Col B and C as Y-axis data with X-axis being untitled.
However, what I want is Col B is X-axis and Col C is y-axis. The only way I can do that is set Col B as header column.
Is there any way I can do the same w/o header column??

Joe,
Bar charts are Category Charts. Category charts must have Text, not Numeric, data for the category axis (what you are calling the X-Axis). You can try formatting Column B as Text before charting.

Y-axis on bar chart showing all zeros

I have created a bar-chart in version 1.6 -- and the y-axis values that correspond with the gridlines all show 0.000. The graph is representing the cost/pound so the values will never be whole numbers and always less than 1. The data point values are all correct.
The data label format is 9.999 and shows up correct.
The Y axis format is the same way --
Define axis interval: Y axis interval is 0.05 with min: 0.000 and max 0.250.
What is wrong?

Jeff
