Financial Reporting Chart Legend

Hi everyone,
I want to create some chart in Financial Reporting Studio. I was wondering if have any idea of how to present the legend of a chart in Financial Reporting in a line instead of a column that it is the default.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
However, my goal is to change the layout of the legend and not the placement of the legend.
In other words, my goal is to place the members of the legend in one line under the chart, the one member should be next to the other and not under the other as it is by default.
Example:
Default legend:
Net Interest Income
Revenue
Expenses
My goal:
Net Interest Income Revenue Expenses
Thank you in advance
Regards

Financial Report chart migration

Hello Gurus,
I have migrated Financial reports/charts, etc from one environment to another.
Everything is good but one.
When I try to open this chart in workspace, it does not show anything.
Everything else is working fine.
Is there anything I am missing here.
Thanks

Refer the two useful urls which will give an insight

Financial Reports - chart formatting questions

1) Is it possible to display the legend label names horizontally? The default lists them vertically and I don't see an option to change this.
2) Is it possible to display axis numeric data labels with a decimal place?
3) Is there any way to have axis start at minimum value of data (as in Excel) vs. 0?
4) If data for a given month is 0, the line chart datapoint drops down to the bottom of the chart...is there any way to have it just cut off instead of showing the drop (tried putting a blank space in suppression labels but this did not work...)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We are at version 9.3.1:
We have a solution that involves editing the Report export file (.DES extension, the file is in XML format) – in other words a File > Export of the report and open the file in a text editor. The change essentially hard codes the number of decimal places in the chart legend. Since it looks like we have both Ratios (Gross margin %) and Financial Accounts (Gross margin) that could appear in the Chart, we probably don’t want two decimal places for all charts, the solution I added is for one decimal place only.
To make the edit:
1. open the DES file in a text editor. Search on <CHARTOBJECT , this should take you to the CHARTOBJECT section.
2. then search on OBJECT_WIDTH. There are OBJECT_WIDTH parameters for objects other than charts, that is why we start at the Chart section first.
3. Add the following parameter after OBJECT_WIDTH: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f')"
4. There should be a space before the parameter, separating it from OBJECT_WIDTH, and a space after it separating it from the following parameter.
5. Note: the %8.1f is surrounded by single quotes.
6. Repeat the process for all other charts, search for the next <CHARTOBJECT and so on.
To have 2 fixed decimal places, use the following: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%f')"

Financial Reporting Chart - Waterfall or Step Chart or 2 Y-Axis chart?

Using Hyperion Financial Reports 9.3.1.2 - How do you create a waterfall or step chart using a stacked bar chart in FR chart?
I have created a waterfall or step chart as a stacked bar chart in Excel which shows the Budget figure on the left and the Actual figure on the right, and between them a series of bar columns which show the variance by component (normally departments or salaries, overheads etc.)
I can do all the calculations in a grid rady for the chart, but I have a snag in how to assign the data ranges to different Y-axes in Hyperion FR chart wizard.(I can do it in Excel, but don't know how in FR and can't find sufficient clues in the documentation, online help or Metalink3)
Does Anyone have any suggestions that I could try .... please!
Regards
Nigel

Did anyone find out how to do it?
I would like to know too.
Thx!

Financial Reporting Charts and Legend in horizontal row

Hi all,
In the knowledge browser there is a "how to" enchancement on how to show legend in one horizontal row ([ID 794882.1]).
In a few words, the solution was to edit the resulting XML file (*.des) as follows:
A. Search for the string "OTHERPROPERTIES" with no quotes.
B. Make the following change: OTHERPROPERTIES="LegendLayout=(HORIZONTAL,BOTTOM,,,,)"
However, now our need is to have charts with decimals which requires to open the *.DES file in a text editor and add the following parameter after OBJECT_WIDTH: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f')"
My question is how to have both Otherproperties expressions in one chart. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to have both Otherproperties in one chart since I don't have a lot of experience in XML.
Thank you in advance,
Thanasis

Hi all,
The answer was simple... OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f');LegendLayout=(HORIZONTAL,BOTTOM,,,,)"

Financial Reports - Text function to trim description for charts

Hello!
I have looked at the text functions in Hyperion Financial Reports Studio 9.3.1 to grab either Member Description or Alias ( Planning ) and need to trim or section or segment per the following example:
Member = "C3402" Alias = "C3402 Major Projects South"
Need to get either "Major Projects South" or just "South" to appear in legend or axes description in charts and graphs.
I have tried MID(<<MemberAlias, 1, 1, 1>>), 7,10) is there something else available?
Any suggestions or input appreciated.
Regards
Nigel

I suggest modifying the descriptions as per the reporting needs, because the descriptions are there to be used on the reports. Removing the name from the description would be a good way but you should be sure that it will not have a negative impact on any of the developed parts of the application..

Financial Reporting Line Chart - disable #missing or #zero values

I need some help regarding the line chart in financial reporting. I want to create a line chart for actual and forecast-values. The underlying Grid contains following values:
actual-jan = 100
actual-feb = 121
actual-march = 119
actual-april to actual-dec = #missing
forecast-jan = 100
forecast-feb = 121
forecast-march = 119
forecast-april to forecast-dec = 125
In the line chart I get two lines, one for actual and one for forecast. Now my Problem is that the actual line has to stop with the march-value but it moves forward till december on the zero level.
Has anyone an idea how to get the line stopped at march?
kind regards
kai

Supressing or replacing zeroes does not help, the chart still drops to zero for future periods.
I created an extra column in my grid. In this column i used a formula that says if column a (current year) is greater than zero, show column a numbers, if not, show the number from the row above. I have separate reports for debits and credits, if you are OK with showing negative numbers, just adjust the formula. What my new column does is forecasts a straight line for all future periods for the current year. It is not the exact preferred result, but it keeps the scale appropriate and with a little education almost every executive has accepted it.

Financial Reporting Studio - Chart 2nd Axis Title

I have a Financial Reporting Studio (9.3.1) report including a chart (combo) and have "checked" secondary axis and subsequently set a secondary axis title. Upon opening the report the secondary axis title does not show. The font color is black and the font angle is set to 0. Is this a bug or am I missing setting a property or something? If this is a bug is there a feasible workaround? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This has turned out to be a rather obscure 'problem or feature'. Primary axis titles can include multiple words, single words or special characters and do not require single quotes around the title. Secondary axis title on the other hand require single quotes around the string whether it is a single word, multiple words or contains special characters. This is not contained in the Financial Reporting Studio documentation.

Reporting Services Chart Legend Label

I am creating a chart from analysis services cube data
data is like this
District            Year          Value
A                    2001          10
B                    2002          29
(null)              2003           19
The charts are creating fine but the legends are not showing fine. In series group i have also tried to use an expression to fix the null label.
For null value the label is created as "Series 1". I don't want this to happen. for null value i want my chart legend to show as "State"
Any help will be appriciated
Regards

Hi,
You can use expression to achieve that. In series group, set the group on expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Also, set the label expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Hope this helps.

Field description in chart legend instead of technical name (BW query)?

I am building a report from a BW query. The report has a grouping field and a bar chart in the group footer. When I execute the report the legend shows the technical name of the key figures even though I checked the "Show description" field in the "options".
I can change the labels in "preview" mode (provided I can guess the real names), but just like in the field explorer I would prefer to always have the text instead of the nonsense technical name.
Is this possible?

hello all,
you can use a 2 chart workaround for this.
1) the first chart is the Group chart you already have...just disable the legend
2) now create an Advanced chart using the description field as the On Change Of
3) set the Order of chart to correspond with the technical field that the group is based on
4) preview the chart and right click on the x axis area and format the axis so nothing is showing
5) do the same for the y axis
6) keep right clicking on all of the chart objects and changing them to transparent
sounds annoying, is annoying, but it works.
cheers,
jamie

SSRS Hide one data value label in chart legend

Is it possible to hide one value in the legend? I've got a stacked bar chart, but there's one value that I don't want to display in the Legend. Is it possible to hide this particular color and label in the legend?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes. In Reporting Services 2005, you could add a filter to hide one value label in the chart legend. This can be done with the following instructions:
In Report Designer, open the chart properties dialog box and go to Data tab.
Double click the item in the Series groups to open the Grouping and Sorting Properties dialog box.
Switch to the Filter tab. Add a filter using the following setting:
Expression: =Fields!<FieldName>.value
Operaiton: !=
Value: =”value”
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
