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 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

  • Hyperion Financial Reports Studio Client Question

    Hi,
    I have a colleague that is on 11.1.1.3.0.0238 Financial Reports Client. He can connect to the server just fine. However when I try, I get the ole 'You are not authorized to use this functionality. Contact your Admiinistrator'. However when I use my login/pw on his machine I connect just fine.
    So I need to make sure my client is same version. Is there a file I can copy from his install directory to mine that will make them the same? I can't get the patches as I have no Support Identifier. Usually it's just replacing a few files?
    Thanks

    11.1.1.3.0.0238 should be the unpatched version of Financial Reporting, if you log into workspacew and go to help > about > details you will see the version of financial reporting.
    The server and client usually have to be the same version for it to work so unless you have patched your client you are probably on the same version, if you have patched it then you should be able to tell from Opatch
    If you are not sure then it may be easier just to uninstall FR Studio and install the base version.
    You could also open up or extract HReports.jar which is in the <HYPERION_HOME>\products\biplus\lib folder, go into the META-INF folder, view MANIFEST.MF and look for Implementation-Version:
    There are lots of articles in Oracle Support around the error message you are getting, if you have no support identifier I am sure you will know somebody in your company that should have access.
    Cheers

  • Chart Formatting Question: Line Bar Combo

    Hello -
    I have a quick question regarding the order of labels displayed in the legend on a line bar combo chart. I have figured out how to rearrange the order of bars in the chart (the order is determined by the order of fields in the criteria section), however, OBIEE seems to always put the "line" field before the "bar" fields in the legend.
    I was wondering if there is a way to set the chart to display the "line" field following the "bar" fields in the legend?
    Thanks for the help!
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    Go for Pivot Chart rather than Chart... and
    Apply Order by s as you want inside pivot....
    Previously even i got the order by problem in chart.. but trying the pivot chart, i resolved my issue...
    So give a try..
    Hope you know about pivot chart. Select Chart Only option from drop-down available for chart position
    Thanks & Regards

  • 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 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 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..

  • How to get XML format output from Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Dears,
    We are using Hyperion Financial Reporting to replace FSG in fusion. I found that Hyperion FR report can be exported to html/excel/pdf format. However, I would like the report to export to xml format.It means I only need the xml data source.
    Anyone who knows how to get the xml format output from Hyperion FR, is there any avaiable API?

    I think if you export the report, you will be able to open the .des file in Notepad/Wordpad and see xml content.

  • Change formatting of table of contents in Hyperion Financial Reporting

    Hi
    We're using Hyperion Financial Reporting to generate carefully formatted books of reports. Users complain about the default table of contents in these books, specifically:
    --> formatting: the basic text-only, portrait-only, formatting does not fit with the "look and feel" of reports within the books.
    --> placement: the fact that it doesn't seem possible to place anywhere within a book, apart from as the first page (they like a title page to sit at the front of a book of reports).
    --> content: having a limited options for defining the text identifying each item within the table of contents. For example, the same combination of dimension members appear for each item in the table of contents, so the first few items look something like:
    Report1_Label
    Dimension2_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension3_Label, Dimension4_Label ....................1
    Report2_Label
    Dimension3_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension4_Label, Dimension2_Label ....................2
    I remember reading somewhere that it's possible to define custom table of contents. Has anyone had any experience of hacking this? Where can I find relevant documentation on defining custom table of contents?
    Grateful if anyone has any advice.
    Thanks
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan
    I've never done this before but there is a section in the Financial Reporting Workspace Administrators Guide (chapter 5). However this involves accessing the css style sheets and in my experience this can have unwanted and unexpected effects in other areas. It does appear to be fairly well documented though in this case so perhaps it is more reliable in this instance.
    It does specifically mention HTML format and not PDF format so if you are publishing to PDF it is worth checking the impact on that too. Take a look at the attached for version 11.1.2 but I'm fairly sure this was available in earlier versions too.
