Formula for x axis labels

I have a report with one group(CR2008 with .NET). That group has a customized group name field, and the group name is a formula. When I display the group name in the data section of the report, it displays according to the formula.
I now need to chart two pieces of data - Primary # of Sales and Secondary # of Sales - for that group so I can compare the two # of sales. If I make a chart for the Primary # of Sales, and go to the group tab in the Chart Expert and specify "on change of Group By Value (my grouping), show the sum of the Primary # of Sales", the chart displays as desired, and I see the custom group name (formula) as the X axis label.
But if I go to the Advanced Layout on the Data tab of the Chart expert and specify the Sum of Primary # of Sales AND Sum of Secondary # of Sales in the Show Values section, the X axis label no longer shows the custom group name; it shows the group value.
Any ideas for how to get it to show the custom group name when I chart two fields of data?
Also how to change the x axis orientation to vertical so that morei get space for labels.
Thanks in advance!

Using a formula as an axis label on an x-y scatter chart

I have a report with an x-y scatter chart and I want to be able to use a Formula Field (called xAxisLabel) in the x axis label. In the Chart Options | Title tab there is a place to enter the text you want for the X-Axis label, how do I include the Formula Field in this text. I have tried the following but each time the text I've entered as the X-Axis label is displayed instead of the result of the Formula Field .
@xAxisLabel
So for example if the Formula Field xAxisLabel returns the text 'ng/ml' I want the x axis label to be 'ng/ml' not ''

hi,
You can't paste the formula field in Chart Options -> Titles tab.
Workaround is
Obviously, you need to empty the X-axis text.
Adjust the "Chart Frame" height manually up such that some space is available at the bottom of the chart.
Then Place a text box manually at the bottom of the chart and Drag the formula field into text box.
Ensure "Can Grow" option is checked for that text box.

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

How do I rotate chart axis labels?

Trying to rotaet chart axis labels for the x-axis, but would like to know the same for the y-axis too. Know the solution for a text box, but doesn't seem to work for the axis labels.

Hi Martin,
The solution is the same for X and Y labels. Select the labels and then set the rotation angle, either in the Format Bar or in the Metrics Inspector.

Chart Axis: Label Renderer pixel width

Am using custom label renderer for Chart Axis labels.
CustomLabelRenderer extends label
override public function set data(value:Object):void
if(value is AxisLabel){
dataValue = String(value.text);
else{
dataValue = String(value);
I would like to get the Width of the Label component in PIXELS on runtime.
Can you please tell me how I can get the pixel width of the labels that gets updated when user changes the screen resolution.
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks

See this example and the related thread:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:222
Basically, you need to customize the chart XML. That is quite easy to do.

How do i change axis label object type from label to text? (to allow wrapping)

In the example of a barChart, how does one change the LABEL type from "Label" to "Text"?
I am trying to allow for long labels to wrap (ie. multi-line labels), but the default object type of labels is "Label" (which are single-line only).
I have been researching this issue all day, and have enountered a similar situation for changing the Legend component labels where a method override is implemented in a custom itemRenderer.
But I have not been able to figure out how to do this for an Axis label.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
J

Yes, thank you. I am aware of the AxisRenderer.... but I'm not sure how to implement it to change the label type from "Label" to "Text" to allow for wrapping.
I guess what I'm looking for is a good example....

Programatically shifting X-axis labels in chart section of a .bqy document.

Hi all,
We would like to programatically change some properties like height, width for X-axis labels of a chart in the chart section of the .bqy (Interactive Reporting Studio) document. We don't find the existing properties fit our requirement.
So, I request all the experts in "Interactive Reporting" to help us out as early as possible!
Thanks,
Natesh.

Thanks for your reply.
You're right, it shows the day data when I click on the month. Fine, but if it shows the daily data, why doesn't it show the date as well.
As I tried to explain, the data are correct, but the labels are wrong or insufficient. Why do I have only 'Jun-2010' below the bar of a day?
I investigated a little bit further and found that the behaviour changes depending on which month column out of the time dimension I choose.
If I choose 'Month (MON-YYYY)' I get this label on the month chart and on the day chart (the drilled down chart), nothing more.
But if I choose 'Month (YYYYMM)' from the same dimension in the month chart by changing the query in answers, I get an additional label in the day chart showing the day
as YYYYMMDD.
I need to influence this behaviour, but don't know how. I thought the drill down relationship comes from the Business Modell layer, but I don't see how to change things there.
Any idea?

Knut

Hide axis labels

I have 3 columns for my Axis labels and chart is as desired. BUT, I only want to show the first 2 categories of values on my axis (year and Quarter). The 3rd label allows me to chart each individual value but I don't want the values to show in the
axis. They appear in the graph as "points" but I need to hide them on the axis.
How do I do that?
TIA

Hi TIA,
According to your description, you want to show the first 2 categories of values on my axis (year and Quarter) in your Pivot Chart, right?
I have tested it on my environment, currently there are no any options to hide axis labels in Axis Option for a Pivot Chart which you can see on the screenshot below.
So in your scenario, there is no such a functionally to work around your requirement. If you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that
they can be, Microsoft might consider to add this feature in the following release after official confirmation.
Thank you for your understanding.

Duplicate y-axis labels on charts for small data values -- is this a bug?

Hi,
I have several charts where the data values are small (1,2,3). The y-axis labels are duplicated for these charts. For example, if the data value was 2 the y-axis labels display as 0 1 1 1 2 2 2. I know that I can manually set the maximum y-axis value and also set the segments on the chart to eliminate the duplicate values. My issue is that I have over 100 charts in my dashboard and I have to manually set the values each month, and then in the next month when the data values are larger I have to remove the maximum y-axis value so the y-axis value is dynamically created. Is this a known bug within the software? Is there any fix for this besides what I'm already doing?
Please let me know if anyone else has seen this issue and if this is a bug, or if this has been corrected in any fix packs.
Thanks!!

Hi Jim,
I have data for three months in the data range A1 to B3 as given below -
Jan - 1
Feb - 2
Mar - 3
In Cell D1 write a formula =MAX(B1:B3)+1 (This will give you value 4)
Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Manual (Y) Axis -> Minimum 0 and Maximum will be pointing to cell D1.
Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Division -> Size of Division 1 and Minor Divisions 1
This will give you Y Axis values as 0,1,2,3,4
Now change value of any month to 5. Now value in D1 would become 6 and Y-Axis would change to 0,2,4,6.
Hope this helps.

Graph X-Axis Labels are appearing in middle for negative y-axis values

Hi,
In my Graph Output, the X-Axis Labels are appearing in the middle (where zero is appearing) if the Y-Axis values are negative.
It's a Line-Graph.
Can anyone let me know how to move the X-Axis Labels to down?
I'm using a custom Function module same as 'GFW_PRES_SHOW_MULT' wherein I'm modifying the line colors and appearance. I have to edit in this Function Module to make the X-Axis Labels appear correctly (below) even when there are negative values.
Please let me know which Parameter of the Class CL_CU_AXIS I've to use.
Here's the piece of code:
CALL METHOD graphic_proxy-ref->add_cu_bundle
            EXPORTING
              port   = if_graphic_proxy=>co_port_chart_y_prim_axis
              bundle = bundle_axis
            IMPORTING
              retval = local_retval.

So far I have been able to export the data using OLE calls, created a chart object,.
My question:
1. How to put Data Lables
2. How to put Data Table under the Chart
3. How to rename the series names.
Below is the recorded Macro. I don't know how to convert it to ABAP.
Sub Macro1()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("B1:E4")

I have attached the current output and expected output.
I have searched about this in google but i could not find any solution for this.

Rename cursor axis label for a XY Graph

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.2 and would like to relabel the axis of the cursor legend for a XY graph. Presently the cursor lengend contains X (for the X axis) and Y for the (Y axis). I would like to be able to rename the labels of the X and Y axis of the cursor lengend to give the user a more accurate description of the axis labels.
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The changes that were made changed the names of the cursors, not the name of the X and Y axis. Think of it this way suppose that I have a X Y graph of Frequency (on the X axis) and Amplitude (on the Y axis). I create a cursor on the graph and move it around the waveform to examine the characterictics of the signal. When I move the cursor I would like the see the frequency and amplitude where the cursor is at on the signal. Right now the user has to remember (not to difficult) to figure out that the X axis is frequency and the Y axis is amplitude.
So I would like to be able to rename the header of the cursor location from X to Frequency and Y to Amplitude.
Regards,
Kaspar

CR Enterprise - Custom y-axis labels for line chart

Hi
I have data with a discrete status (STATUS-1...STATUS-5) per day, like
Feb 1: STATUS-1
Feb 2: STATUS-2
Feb 3: STATUS-2
Feb 4: STATUS-1
Feb 30: STATUS-4
Feb 31: STATUS-1
This series I'd like to render in a date axis line chart with the daily status ordinals (1-5) on the y-axis.
Now I wonder how I can label the y-axis ticks with the respective STATUS text instead of the ordinal.
Unfortunately, the option "Total (Y) Axis/Axis/AxisLabels/Display Label" is disabled due to the value's numeric nature.
How can I manually overwrite y-axis labels or map them to custom text?
Thanks. Jens

HI Jens,
Have you tried creating a formula and using that in 'Show Values' section of the chart?
Formula:
"STATUS-" & {Numeric_field}
