Gantt chart with null dates

Hi,
Kylie discovered here that you couldn't have null dates in the project gantt query
APEX 4.0.2 Project Gantt Chart - Error Code: 2002 Message: Empty input
As Valentina suggested, I found the actual dates are mandatory, while the chart tolerates missing planned dates - which is a complete reversal of what actual project data would have.
baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship
What I found though is if some planned dates are missing, the generated XML seems to default with data from previous rows.
As detailed in this screenshot, my red lines indicate missing from/to dates (actual data also shown underneath chart)

Hi Ahmed
Thank you for your reply.
The time scales in Gantt chart specifically shows the year, month and weeks from the start date of project definition or basic start of WBS.
Since it is not a decided project, the Gantt chart need to show 0, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week etc.
The actual schedule from PD start date can be produced on actual initiation of project.
It means, i am looking for having Gantt chart for duration and not for specific start and finish dates.

Column chart with null data items

I have a Column Chart with an ArrayCollection data provider.
The data will sometimes have missing items in some "rows'. For
example, it might look like this where the second object has no
"Male" property:
public var myData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{School: "Priorford", All: 95, Male: 92, Female: 98},
{School: "Giffnock", All: 87, Female: 89},
{School: "Hastings", All: 80, Male: 78, Female: 82}
Sometimes I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object
reference.
at mx.charts.chartClasses::NumericAxis/mapCache()
I'm assuming the error is because of missing data items, but
I'm not 100% sure. Some data sets with missing items will display
with no error. I can't see a pattern to those that don't.
-- I can't produce the error when using a "static" data
source set in the Flex app itself (such as the example above).
These always display correctly, even with missing items.
-- In the problem case, the source data comes from a MySQL
database through a PHP script that is called with a Flex
httpService. The returned data is parsed in Flex, and put into the
ArrayCollection. I was suspecting that the returned data was flawed
in some way, but the same ArrayCollection displays correctly in a
DataGrid. The problem is only with the Chart.
-- I can work round the problem by adding the missing
properties and setting them to an empty value. But I don't think I
should have to do this.
Has anyone seen this problem, or know of any obvious thing I
might be doing wrong.

Thanks Arthur.
Your first suggestion is effectively what I'm doing as a
workaround. But it is a bit of a pain to have to account for this
each time when displaying a chart. It's a particular problem when
you don't know in advance what "categories" might be returned by
the data and that have to be charted.
My biggest concern is that this looks like a bug, and the
fact that it seems to occur intermittently is a bit worrying. (I
also know that eight out of ten reported "bugs" are user error,
which is why I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this.)
About your second suggestion, I think the interpolateValues
property only applies to lineSeries.

Gantt chart with duration

Hi Experts
As a part of bidding, client need to produce Gantt chart to the customer.
However, since this is presale process, the exact dates are not indicated but the duration of project to be specified. It means the schedule to show the duration from zero date.
Is it possible to take print of Gantt chart with out dates but duration of individual activity or WBS?
Warm regards

How to build a gantt chart with BI Publisher

Hi everybody, I need to create a gantt chart with BI Publisher. I had a look to the document "Getting Gantty" from the blog:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/01/getting_gantty.html
but I don't understand in which way:
1. build the data template in order to replicate the XML code in the article
2. build and link the yellow bar which dynamically increases its length according to the meeting duration
Anybody already tried to implement something similar ? I didn't still found a real example about how to do it......
I need a help, please
Thanks in Advance
Alex

Yes that is the only option which we can stop a running report in BI Publisher
I suspect you'll need to ask your DBA to kill the session.
However, if you have DBA privileges yourself, you can do this by a few methods, some of which are described here:

Charts with Multiple Data Series in One Color

I am trying to create a pie chart to reflect the different areas of my budget in four categories. However, my budget is divided into several smaller categories across several columns and I can only get the cells in the first column to register even though the additional cells show up in the Inspector as part of the series.

Jerry,
Thanks for the info. I'll give that a read when I get home today. In a roundabout way I tried part of that. I created my chart with my data for Mammallia and the time periods. Then I selected the occurrences for Synapsids and dropped them in, but it added them to the first data set in the chart? I'm guessing I was doing something wrong, but I'm unsure of what. Numbers/Excel has never been a strong subject for me, but I'll try your advice and see what I come up with.
Reading your post again, the last way seems the most simple and I feel a little foolish for not thinking of that myself. Oh well, that's how we learn right? Thanks for your help!! You saved me a lot of hassle.
Best regards,
Mitch

Reports generated with null data

Hi,
I setup a role which has read access to all records under different tab corretly. However, the reports are displayed with null data. Any idea?
Thanks VK

Hi Bobb,
"Role-Based Can Read All Records" equal to No in my configuration. Requirement is not to allow report creation on others data.
So, if I make it Yes, then they can access all data in CRMOD and create report. Please let me know if my understanding is correct.
Thanks VK

Gantt Charts with APEX

Hello
Has anybody managed to integrate Gantt Charts with APEX and got them working. I'm required to provide some similar reports.
I understand Gantt charts are available in AnyCharts 5 but I need the XML to convert or at least a How To Do document.
Any any other ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ade

Hi Ade,
We have built an Anychart Integration Kit for APEX, if you take a look at -
http://anychart.apex-evangelists.com
and specifically -
http://anychart.apex-evangelists.com/pls/apex/f?p=454:14:0:
You'll see that anything is possible ;)
We've concentrated on the core Anychart Functionality in the Integration Kit and will be releasing more powerful versions shortly.
Hope this helps,
John.

Pie chart with NULL values

I have a report(pie chart) with year, State, Category(Electronics,Home Appliances, Grocery) and % profit margin. The requirement is in a state if any of the categories is NULL the other two should become null as well for that state so that the whole pie chart will disappear. For example if electronics profit margin is NULL for a chosen state then Home appliances and Grocery profit margin should become null for that state as well. Can anyone please advise how this can be accomplished.
Thanks

Edited by: user1146711 on Jul 13, 2012 11:37 AMTry this:
--1) In addition to your mentioned columns, add 4 more "% profit margin" columns. (I am assuming this is a measures column.)--
--2) In each of the first 3 columns, click on the fx button, then on the Filters button and create a column filter "where category = 'Electronics' for the 1st column, "where category = 'Home Applicances' for the second column, etc...--
Each of the 3 columns in step 2 will contain the measure for the specific category, for the given year, some of which may be NULL according to your data.
--3) In the 4th dummy column, make it a concatenation of the prevous 3 columns.--
Because this is a concatenation, if any of the previous 3 columns are NULL, the sum will also be NULL. Make sense?
--4) Then finally, put a filter on the 4th column, "Is not Null."--
Now if any of the individual categories has a null, the whole state will be eliminated from your report. Hide the 4 columns. That's it.
The above won't work as the values of every row will have NULLs due to the way I said to build the report.
Okay, try this:
1) Build a small report with Year, State, SUM(% Profit Margin) and a concatenated column Year-State.
2) Put a filter on the SUM(% Profit Margin) column "Is Not Null."
If there are NULLS in any of the four categories, because your database does not substitute a 0, then the sum will be Null and there won't be a row that corresponds to that Year and State. The only rows that should appear in this report are those states for the year, that had a value in all 4 categories. The last column, Year-State will be unique and be the identifier.
3) Now build your main report with all your normal columns (Year, State, Category, % Profit Margin) and add a hidden column that is the concatenation of Year-State.
4) On the Year-State column, put a filter "based on another request" and point it to the "Year-State" column of the small report.
This should produce only rows where all 4 categories had a value in it for the given year.

Plotting multiple graphs on one waveform chart with dynamic data types

I'm trying to put multiple graphs on one waveform chart and having data agreement errors. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that dynamic data is being used (I've had no problems with other datatypes in the past). Does anyone know how to correct this problem? I've attached the following .VI. There will be plenty of .VIs on the bottom that won't load, but they are not consequential for this problem.
Thanks!
Brian

you could use stacked plots by right clicking on the chart and clicking on the stacked plots and than on the front panek you can put a bundle function on the FP and hook your signals up

Steps to create Resource gantt chart with hourly ranges

Does anyone have an example of how to customize the default built APEX/Anychart resource gantt charts to handle a 12 hour range showing resources? I have tried going through a sample provided by anychart tech support, but the xml file seems to have different set of entries.
What I have is a set of rows for resources in a shop over a 12 hr shift that I need to show. I have a standard resource gannt working, but I need to customize some of the xml settings to see the date/time ranges..
Any help would be a blessing!!
Thank you,

Charts with missing data / time data

Hello,
is there a possibility to let crystal draw charts with (for example) all days of a weeks, even if there is data missing for one day in the database?
Is there also a way to have a fixed timeline in the chart and let the values from the database be drawed to a specific timestamp and all this in minute resolution?
Thanks

Resource Gantt Chart with Multiple Series (Apex 4.1.1)

Hi,
I am building a resource gantt and I want to show different types of entry in different colours.
My series query is:
select null,
time_record_id,
username,
null,
to_timestamp(to_char(event_date + (start_time/24),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI') start_date,
to_timestamp(to_char(event_date + (end_time /24),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI') end_date
from
oly_time_record
where
work_code = 'OFFICE'
order by 5, 3;which works well to show me the times when a user is going to be in the OFFICE.
I now want to add additional bars to the chart that shows me the times that a user is going to be 'WORKFROMHOME'.
The 'OFFICE' time should show Green bars and the 'WORKFROMHOME' should show Red Bars.
This is quite easy on normal charts, where you can add extra series but the Resource Gantt does not seem to allow more than one series.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get what I need?
Thanks,
Martin

X-y Scatter chart with multiple data series

Hi,
How do I create an x-y scatter chart with more than 1 data series? For example:
Series 1
x__y
1__0
2__5
3__9
4__7
5__2
Series 2
x_____y
0.5___0
1.3___4.8
2.6___12.3
4.1___8.4
4.9___3.2
I can do this with 2 seperate graphs but I need them on the same graph.
Is there a limit on the number of series that can be placed on a single x-y scatter graph?
Many thanks.

Problem creating line chart with character data

Post Author: burkartt
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
CR Developer v. 11.5.0.313
I want to create a line chart with data from a SQL2K table to show how much server time each application uses per day. All data is defined a character.
HWA,4/24/2007,01:44.6HWA,4/25/2007,12.28HWB,4/24/2007,4.6HWC,4/24/2007,55.55HWC,4/25/2007,01:22.3HWE,4/24/2007,01:16.1HWE,4/25/2007,0.59
I want one horizontal line per application where the X-axis represents the date and the Y-axis represents the server time. I have tried all column combinations for "On Change Of" and "Show Value(s)". What confuses me is why are Count and Discount the only Summary Options for the "Show Value(s)" data?
Thank you,

I created a group based on date, day, then created the chart and put it in the group footer, on change of server, show sum of time, you will get a seperate chart for each day. I am not sure if this will help, or will just do. Since you have CR XI, you may want to look at the gauge chart also....
