Don't believe you can have 2 data points as you are suggesting. Oracle is working on enhancing the reporting framework for EM, but not sure when BI will be there. You can send data from the OMR to an existing BI infrastructure and report from there.
Sorry...
Have a good day.

Help: Chart with multiple data points

I would like to create a chart which has 2 data points. The way I know it works, each metric has only one data point. If I want the metric history chart shows 2 data points (y axis) over the same period of time (x axis). Is it possible to do such metric?
Thanks for the help.

Help Needed in Crystal Reports 2008 Charting - XY Scatter

Hi,
I need to create a XY Scatter plot using CRYSTAL 2008.i have to create 7 graphs of same XY Scatter plots in one single report.the 7 graphs i said because i have a Cost category object which will have 7 categories.so for each category i have to show one XY Scatter plot.
However the data only changes between each category. i have to use the same objects for all the 7 plotters.
there will be a 1 dimension object and two measure objects in this.
So how to develop the report for this requirement?
Urgent help is needed.
Regards,
Kishore. .

hi Kishore,
if you Insert another Group on Category, and then move your chart into the Category Group Header, does that solve the issue?

Help Creating Dynamic Stacked Column Chart with Multiple Criteria

Hi all. Im new here and hoping you can help. I have a dashboard Im trying to rebuild from scratch (our computer had a meltdown and we lost all our files). I did not build the dashboard initially so Im trying to recreate it from the flash file we were able to recover. I have come across a chart that I just cannot figure out how to do. I can figure out how to write an array in the Excel sheet that pulls the data into a table the way I need it to be but found out after I wrote that that Xcelcius doesn't support arrays so all my data disappears when I go into preview mode (which is especially frustrating since I can see the chart working fine in design mode). Anyway this is what the data table looks like
Month         Year            Company      Positive #          Negative #         Neutral #          Positive %       Negative %      Neutral %

The original chart was built so that you would choose the month from a combo box and then the company names would show up along the X axis with their % amounts shown in the stacked column. I know how to make a combo box work and I know how to make a stacked column chart work with static data. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work so that when you choose the month from the combo box it filters the data. I've tried filtered rows but I'm just missing some information that makes it work and I can't figure out what that information is. It has to be able to get the month/year combo from the combo box and then go to the table, filter it by month and year and then create a multi-row table of data with just the company and the percent values. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which connection you are using?
IF quite difficult if you are working under static data.

Need help to develop report with column chart

Hi
I am new to SAP BO world.Could anyone please help me to design report with column chart.Please guide me how to develop report for the following requirement.I am not aware of variance columns and variance labels.Please provide some guidance or some tutorials(for column Chart) so that I can complete the task. Please reply me as soon as possible.Waiting for reply.Thanks in advance.
Type: Column Chart
u2022     Rows: Banking Asset Margin (%)
u2022     Start / End Columns: PY YTD Act(Prior year year to date); CY YTD Act(Current year Year to date)
u2022     Variance Columns: # Var (CY-PY Act) for GOLM; Volume; Rate; Non Banking NII; Banking Volatility in NII; Banking Volatility in OOI; Fees/One Offs/Other; Volatile Items; Sophie
u2022     Sub-total columns: PY YTD Underlying; CY YTD Underlying.
u2022     Variance Labels: % Var (CY-PY Act) for Total Income and Underlying Income
u2022     Sub-Total Labels: # Var (CY-PY Act) for Net Insurance Income; Banking Volatility; Other Operating Income
Additional information
u2022     Variance columns (bar) colours: Red = Adverse to Prior Year; Green = Favourable to Prior Year
u2022     Columns to show values. Adverse values to be shown in red text in brackets. Favourable results in black text.
u2022     All values in Black, but adverse to be shown below the bar.

Hi,
This type of question is almost impossible to answer over a forum .
You need to work with your business to understand what these requirements mean in terms of data modelling and relationships between object entities.
- Some of these metrics should be delegated to source, and calculated in the update routines to your datatargets (aka Cubes/Tables)
- Others could be resolved in the semantic layer (Universe)
- Other will be calculated in the presentation layer as local formulae or variables.
whilst BusinessObjects is a fairly intuitive tool, it may be unreasonble to expect a new learner to deliver an advanced report with conditional formatting.

Need help to make a Pie Chart

I am trying to draw a pie chart for the Uptime Report.
I have the Following table definition.
create table downtime_detail ( env_code number, down_start date, down_end date );
insert into downtime_detail values (1,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('01-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('03-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('15-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('15-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );

Now the Below Query returns me the values val1 and val2 on the basis of which I need to draw a Pie Chart.
==========================================================
select round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b
VAL1 VAL2
3.64 96.36
==========================================================
Can someone help me try do this ?
Actually I tried but I couldnt put my custom query to get this Pie chart. Or if there is any other better approach please let me know.

nikhilskamik,
I believe all that you are missing in your sql is a NULL. Below is the help text for creating a Flash pie chart.
Specify the SQL query that will populate your chart, for example:
select null, ename, sal
from emp
Alternatively you can write a PL/SQL function return a SQL query, for example:
begin
return 'select null, ename, sal from emp';
end;
Your query should then read:
select null,round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b

Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics. No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"

Regarding Pages charts, when I try to 'build' a 3D chart all I get is little dots but not graphics. No problems with 2D charts though. Guess my question is "Help?"

Sorry for the delay getting back to this.
Thanks to Fruhulda and Peter for their comments regarding the refusal of Pages to let me make 3D charts.
In answer to the questions put to me in this regard :
1. Pages version : Pages '09 v.4.1 (923)
2. Mac O/S :          v.10.6.8
3. 3D chart :          Can't find a 'name', but upright bars with rounded corners ???
4. Moved apps :    Not that I'm aware of! All should be as installed off the disc.
5. A note :              I have been able to create these in the past - related to a SW update?
                      and ... can create these charts perfectly in Keynote (go figure).
Thanks to all.

HELP!! How to use setData for a Gantt-Chart

Hello,
how can I use the function setData? I've created a page with a resource-gantt-chart and now I want to use this function to set the data to the chart.
The chart has the attribute "static id" = GANT_CHART.
In the HTML-header of the page I tried
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function SetDataToChart() {
var data = &F_GANTT_CHART_DATA.;
var chart = document.getElementById('GANTT_CHART');
chart.setData(data);
</script>
where the item F_GANTT_CHART_DATA returns the following:
<resource_chart>
<resources>
<resource id="3002" name="0400006/1" />
</resources>
</resource_chart>
I call the function SetDataToChart() in "Execute when page loads"
Thank you for any help!

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). Can anyone help?

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?

I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

Sorry. I just realized that I was logged-in as a "developer" not as the APEX Admin which, of course, is why I couldn't find the "security" option. I had too many windows open at once.

Basic line chart help

I am relatively new Crystal reports 11 and am having problems creating a lsimple ine chart. I am trying to trend two types of network errors over time. The type of errors are in one field and the values are 1 or 2, I have two formulas, one converts a 1 to alarm and another to convert 2 to warn. I thought this would be simple but no mater what I've tried I end up with one chart that plots two lines that have the same values (instead of one for alarms and one for warns) or two charts that correctly plot the events over time. I need both events on one chart to compare them. There must be something fundamental I'm missing.
In the chart expert I have, on change of show @Alarm and @Warn. I've tried it with and without groups.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tonus,
Try just creating 1 formula instead of 2.
Try this:
if {field.value}=1 then
"Alarm" else
"Warn"
Now use this formula in your chart expert.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Zack H.

I need the chart to be based on the Week beginning( characteristic) and this characteristic values should be displayed in the X-axis.
The key figures value should be displayed as columns.
I dont see any options to choose the characteristics and key figures in x and y axis in the chart designer. Please let me know or any how to documents on this.

Changing the Display: Table, Chart, Table and Chart
In your Web application, you want to be able to display data in a table or graphic, similar to in the Web Analyzer.
You can do this by using the Dropdown Box Web item and linking the commands for showing and hiding Web items to it:
       1.      Insert the Analysis and Chart Web items into your Web template. Set the required parameters and link both Web items to the same data provider. For the initial display type, set the Visibility parameter of the Chart Web item to Hidden.
       2.      To allow users to toggle the display type, choose the Dropdown Box Web item and drag it to your Web template using drag and drop.
       3.      Choose the data binding type Fixed List of Options from the parameter list for the Web item. This allows you to define your own commands for each entry in the dropdown box.
       4.      In the fixed list of options, enter a text (such as "table") in the Description of Selection field. This text can be language-dependent.
       5.      For the corresponding command, call the command wizard by choosing the pushbutton (see Commands).
       6.      On the All Commands tab page, choose Commands for Web Items. Select the command Set Web Item Parameters (SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS) and double-click it to choose it.
       7.      Since the table must be switched to visible to select the table display type in the Web application, choose the Analysis Web item for Target Web Item. All parameters for the Analysis Web item are now displayed.
       8.      Set the Visibility parameter (VISIBILITY) to Visible (VISIBLE). Do not accept the default value.
       9.      Since the graphic display must be switched to hidden to select the table display type in the Web application, choose Next Command in the command wizard.
   10.      Insert the Set Web Item Parameters (SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS) command again.
   11.      This time, choose the Chart Web item as the target Web item and set the Visibility parameter (VISIBILITY) to Hidden (HIDDEN). Do not accept the default value.
   12.      Repeat steps four to eleven for the dropdown box entries Chart (switch Analysis Web item to hidden, Chart Web item to visible) and Table and Chart (switch Analysis Web item and Chart Web item to visible).

kasinath

Hi kasinath,
BDS is the storage place for all documents, like templates, iamges, documentation created for BW objects etc. BDS has its own user interface Business Document Navigator (BDN) which contains all essential BDS features. Check out:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/f5253715dfb808e10000009b38f889/content.htm
You can create charts in the web reports. First you need to set up the BW query with the desired InfoObjects. The you need to open up the web application designer and create a web template with the chart icon. Assign your BEx query as the data provider for this. Check out the following for more info:

Help needed on webdesign, logo's, dynamic charts, etc.

This is my first post here on this forum, so forgive me for maybe not giving you all the relevant data.
Background
Bill Gehrke and myself have developed a benchmark test for Premiere Pro CS5. Look here: PPBM5 Benchmark
Since last week I have made this site, the very first in my life with Dreamweaver CS4. It was the first time I used DW and let me tell you, for a PR user, it is really a whole lot different.
Workflow
People go to the site, follow the Benchmark Instructions, download the ZIP file, run the test and mail the results to us.
We enter the data in a Excel spreadsheet and export that to .HTML format and upload it to the site. This can be seen in the Benchmark Results.
Questions
Here is a screenshot of the spreadsheet:
There are three cells of interest: A2 which is a link to the Home Page, and M1 and M2, which link to two separate JPG charts.
What I want on the published HTML results page is overlaying the cell A2 with a logo, like on all other pages, but keep the current link underneath the logo intact to return to the Home page. Of course without impacting the layout of the spreadsheet. When trying to insert the logo, it looks like this in Live View, and that is not what I want. Look at the problem:
Second I want a Spry tooltip on the links to the charts, or another solution, that when one hovers the mouse on either field, it will display the linked to chart over the spreadsheet, untill the user moves the mouse away. One could also consider an overlayed thumb file of the chart, that automatically will be enlarged to full size with the Tooltip.
The complicating factor is of course that when new results are submitted and a new HTML file is created, it does not require new coding.
I have tried to do the overlays in Excel, but the export to HTML from Excel is pretty weak, and the overlayed pictures that show up fine in Excel, do not show up in DW or the site after uploading. One other complicating factor in Excel is that overlays disable the underlying link.
I hope this explains what I want to do. Maybe some of you, far more knowledgeable and experienced, have some suggestion on how to tackle this.

Ben & PZ,
Thanks in large part to your help and suggestions, I have solved the major issues I had.
First, I don't want to give the spreadsheet out to people, so downloading is out of the question. There is just too much error checking code, formulas, logic and formatting and numerous macros in the spreadsheet, that I consider that as proprietary and even though there are ways to protect the contenct of a workbook, it is just too easy to circumvent.
People will have to do will the large table of results, but the essential information is shown in such a way that horizontal scolling is hardly necessary. Vertical scolling will become necessary when there are more entries, like the around 150 entries in the PPBM4 benchmark for CS4, but that can't be helped.
I tried your suggestions, one step at a time, and had a couple of problems, in the sense that several footnotes, that were automatically added to several columns based on the content of other columns, were lost. For instance, when someone says he has a SATA disk, but it runs at 10,000 RPM and the size is either 150, 300 or 600 G, it is a Velociraptor and the interface is changed to SATA1 with the 1 as a supercript. In combinations with the difficulty I envisioned with the complete reformatting of the table in HTML, I searched for alternative approaches, and I found it.
With the help of Lightbox, I now have the two charts I want to show available, it looks pretty good, although I had to adjust the position of the charts in the lightbox.js file.
You can see the result here: http://ppbm5.com/Benchmark5.html
Now the only thing to figure out is the logo, but that is secondary.
Thank you both for your help and suggestions. As a consequence, I have learned a lot and made another step forward.
