Horizontal Bar Chart and Overlaying Line Chart

I am using SSRS 2008 and developing my reports in BIDS.
I have a report with two data points. I want to chart the first as a bar (horizontal) chart and then the second as an overlaying line chart.
I created both data series, originally, as a bar chart. I have clicked on the second series in the "Drop Data Fields Here" area and changed the chart to a line chart. When I do that, it changes both series to a line chart.
However, if I use the column (vertical) chart for the first series, it will let me make the second one a line chart.
Is this a limitation of SSRS 2008? Can I not have one data point be the horizontal bar chart and the second one a line chart?
If so, are there any suggestions how to get around this?
Thanks.

Both charts for SSRS 2005/2008 are very limited when it comes to horizontal charts and are infact supporting only left-to-right bar charts, with no ability to combine them with other charting types (lines, areas, points etc.). For a SSRS charting solution that supports all types of charting type combinations in left-to-right and right-to-left horizontal fashion you can use Nevron Chart for SSRS - www.nevron.com. Besides a huge number of charting types and subtypes (most of which are not available in the MS Chart for SSRS 2008) it also provides better image quality in 2D and 3D modes, more settings, has support for rich text formatting in texts, has image filters, ability to customize via C# code and implements many more large and small charting related details.

Hide values in Stacked Horizontal 2D Column chart

Hello. I have created a stacked flash chart, and everything is good except one thing. The values and name of each stacked column is written within the bars of the graph. I have played with all of the variables and can't seem to remove them. I have a legend so I know what the colors are, and the values are listed on the axis, so I don't need the text on top of the actual columns. Plus, they overlap eachother. Any ideas on how to remove this?
Thanks.

*Ignore the astrix's in the code. I had to enter that so the text wasn't formatted in OTN.

I created a stacked vertical chart, and it doesn't superimpose text over the bars, which is good... but if the values exceed the axis max val that I defined, the chart changes size (which the horizontal chart doesn't do). It looks like depending on which one you choose, you simply have differing uneditable options.

OBIEE 11G: Can I set limit on number of ticks only on horizontal axis and zoom in if I want to?

Hello
Is there a way I can restrict the total number of ticks on horizontal axis only? Say I want to set it to show only 24 ticks on horizontal axis. I am putting date and hour on the horizontal axis, if I take 3 dates of data, I will have 3X24 = 72 ticks on the chart, but I want the chart to show only 24 ticks. So it's pretty much ticks for 3 hours on the horizontal chart in this case.
Can this be done?
Second, if the first can be done, then can I then zoom in to any ticks on the horizontal axis, and it would show be the break down of this ticks, which is made up with 3 hour's performance separately?
Thanks

The zooming feature was ok, but what if I want to zoom in on just a specific area between the ticks when only 1 click?
Any thoughts?

Flex 4 Chart title won't move when positioned

Hi,
I have an issue with my horizontal chart title in my Flex 4 bar chart--it just won't move when I try to position it someplace other than the default (which is center).
I followed the example in the livedocs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_displayingdata_05.html, specifically the one using the 'titleRenderer" property of the AxisRenderer, and setting it to my custom AxisRenderer class. Here is my code:
package classes.view
    import mx.charts.*;
    import mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartLabel;
    public class ChartTitleRenderer extends ChartLabel
        public function ChartTitleRenderer()
            super();
        override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {
            super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
            this.setStyle("textAlign","left");
Setting the textAlign property doesn't work. I have tried setting this property in the css as well and applying it directly to the axis, which also doesn't work. I have also tried "this.x = -100" etc, to no effect. Any ideas?
Thanks

Ray,
To do the "masking" that you are referring to, I think that two Effects (explore each, to see which works best for you), will give you what you want:
The Crop Effect, applied to the Still Images in Video Track 3. This Effect can be Keyframed to change, as is required over time.
The 4-Point Garbage Matte Effect.
If the Still on Video 2 is sized to the Frame of the Project, say 1920 x 1080 for Full-HD, it will "cover" the Video on Video Track 1.
Note: it is best to Scale the Still Images to very close to what you want/need, in PS, or PSElements, prior to Import. What you are doing with the Still Images in Video Track 3 is creating a PiP (Picture in Picture). This ARTICLE goes into more detail on
Good luck,
Hunt

Negative values in Bar chart

Hi,
I have to plot negative values in a horizontal bar chart. Only the +ve values of the data column comes up in the bars,
How should i modify the xsl code
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hello,
XI3 has several types of horizontal charts and there are some that seems to describe your requirements.
I attach some pictures allowing you to see if it meets your needs.

Help with stacked bar charts

Help..................
I am definitely missing something.
I want to do something like the attached, stacked bar chart example. This is pretty much
one of the examples.
What I need is for a horizontal chart instead of a vertical. When I right click the legend and
chose bar charts, it only shows vertical. After messing with this for a couple of hours,
I give.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Stacked Bar Graph.vi ‏43 KB

Another stacked bar graph plea for help!
My scenario: I am recording 3ph current values (red, yellow, blue) on multiple circuits for some electrical tests we do.
I want to present this data on a screen that is most visible from a distance, so the approach I have taken when I last wrote the software in Delphi was to have each 3 ph circuit represented by a 3 channel bar chart where the three channels are stacked front to back in order of magnitude. This allowed me to add multiple 3 channel circuits next to these to fill the screen from left to right.
See attached Excel file to make it clear. I hope!
The main issue I see is that the colour of plot needs to move front to back with the magnitude. ie Red is not always the front plot, it is the 'smallest' of the three plots that stays at the front.
Some tests we do, may have 12 x 3ph circuits of this type which fills the screen up and can make it very busy. Rather than having 36 plots left to right, by stacking them in groups of three, I reduce the left to right number to 12 plots. The screen can then be viewed from a distance much easier.
Any suggestions? I am expecting I will need to write my own routine for this, which if I do, i am quite happy to share when complete.
See (and run) the attached LabVIEW code of my progress so far.
thanks Adam

Combined Chart with Jfreechart

I am using jfreechart-0.9.3 for drawing 4 charts on the same plot. I want to have two of them horizontally and two vertically next to eachother. When I tried to imitate the code of Demo combined charts by jfreechart (which only draws two charts next to eachother horizontally), I can't do that vertically. Because there is no
com.jrefinery.chart.HorizontalXYBarRenderer and com.jrefinery.chart.VerticalDateAxis classes. How can I make it vertically? Is there any other classes which could be usefull in jfreechart?
The code of two horizontal charts looks like this:

I don't believe it supports putting them vertically and horizontally... only one way or the other. ...
Although, 0.9.3 is pretty old... what about a newer version... I haven't played with those charts in about 9 months, so my info is a little out of date. Problem is, after 0.9.6 (I think) they changed a lot of the packages around so a lot needs to change.

Apex Flash Chart Not showing all rows

I am using APEX 4.0.2 and have created a flash chart. I added a scroll bar, but don't get all of the rows that I expect. I ran the sql in a PL/SQL develoepr session and get all of the expected data. Where do I tell APEX to return all data found?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
This tool is so robust, its easy to overlook what is right in front of you.
Second half of the question:
I have about 1500 rows reporting in the horizontal chart. It seems that the chart has to be sized HUGE to keep the chart readable even though there is a scroll bar. Is there a way to force the hight of each horizontal bar rather than what it appears to be doing, which is shrinking each bar to the point it's not readable.
Thanks!

ToolTip in Charts

Hi, I have requirement to show a customized tooltip in charts. For example i have two Vertical Bars in the chart when i mouse over the first bar it should show a tooltip like 'Total revenue is $1000' the $ is column value. Is that possible to show the custom tooltips?

when you do a vertical or horizontal chart definately when you point the cursor at the end defaultly will show the total amount.Yes you can manipulate the chart as you want by editing it and show the tooltip.

Can I have a PL/SQL code for LOV

Hi,
I apologize for this dumb question. I have been so out of touch with dev (almost 8 years). Plus new to pl/sql.
I am creating a status report application. On the dashboard, I currently have some metrics (horizontal charts). I wanted to expose these metrics based on filter.
I had created 2 filters. The first one will identify the type (Week, Month, Qtr or Year) and the 2nd filter would be based on the type. For e.g. if I select Month as type, the 2nd filter should show May-12, April-12 etc. Once I select the 2nd filter, I should use them to show the appropriate metrics. The metric that I currently have would show all the projects that users have worked on during the week/month/qtr or year (depending on the 1st and 2nd filter).
On the dashboard region, I added a condition to check if the value for both 1st and 2nd filter is not null. This allows me to show the dashboard only if the 2 filters have been selected.
For the 2nd filter, I need to write a PL/SQL code to show the LOV.
I am assuming that the pl/sql would return a SQL query. The SQL query will be based on week, month etc. Is that right?
Thanks

Y-axis Does not show values when exported to excel

Hi,
We are facing trouble while showing Y-axis values when report is exported to excel. On report Y-axis is shown properly however when we export it to excel only 1 value is shown with arrow mark(=>).
If we will right click Y axis, we can see all data exported in "Select Data". If we select Y-axis, and change axis properties to automatic, we can see Y-axis values on excel.
Now, is there any property setting which will show all the data on Y-axis instead of showing up single value with arrow?

Thanks for your reply. I tried it closing all sheets and exporting, however result doesn't change. There is an aggregate table we are querying to which holds almost 20k records. Right now I have observed this with 3 reports. In one of the report I am using Horizontal chart. In that report there is issue with X-axis.
e.g.
Band
1000<= |
             |
             |________________________________
              A                     B                  C                D

BI 7.0 Web PDF Generation

Hi folks,
I do have a severe problem with PDF generation and it looks like a common issue.
I integrated Button to convert my Management Webreport to PDF, no big issue so far.
But the generated PDF is not bevaing like expected. We do have a BI report that contains 3 charts horizontally alligned by a table to fit the screen and 1 table below
those charts.
This report fits perfectly on one page landscape.
When generating PDF locally (PDF generator installed on client PC) Internetexplorer ==>PDF works as expected.
When using the Button in Webtemplate to use the BI functionality to export to PDF the PDF is a mess.
All template items are displayed in sequence taht means instead of 3 horizontal charts I see 3 charts and 1 table underneath each other.
It looks like the old fashioned 3.x print function.
My question:
Is there a way to influence the PDF generation. Maybe a class ( like former 3.x Table Interface) to modify to render the PDF like the template appearance?
We cannot install PDF clients locally nor can we ship management those reports coming from BI. Report designer is no alternative because of missing functionality.
TIA
Joerg

Thanks so far,
currently when using the container item and referring by command wizard ( export to PDF) the system is not generating any item.
Error Message 'file has no page and can't be opened...' occurs.
I think this is a really urgent Development issue because I think printing via PDF is getting more and more important since not everyone is using IE7 ( which is not fully supported by SAP either) to scale pages for printing.
Best regards
Joerg

SSRS Switch Function

Hi All,
With my code below I am attempting to change labels on the Horizontal Chart axis to reflect the assigned values but my code seems not work as the chart still returns (Month 1,Month 2) instead of (Jan,Feb,Mar etc)...please review my code below maybe
I am missing something. I inserted this code under the category group Label.
=Switch(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 1","Jan",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 2","Feb",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 3","Mar",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 4","Apr",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 5","May",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 6","Jun",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 7","Jul",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 8","Aug",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 9","Sep",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 10","Oct",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 11","Nov",
Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value = "Month 12","Dec")

Hi Samiullah /Katehrine
Thank you for your responses. Been struggling with connectivity in this region hence my late update.
I have tried the following code under the Month_Of_Year category group label:
=Switch(Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 1","Jan",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 2","Feb",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 3","Mar",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 4","Apr",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 5","May",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 6","Jun",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 7","Jul",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 8","Aug",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 9","Sep",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 10","Oct",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 11","Nov",
Trim(Fields!Month_Of_Year.Value) = "Month 12","Dec")
And the chart still displays as shown below:
I have also attempted to pass values through the following expressions:
=MonthName(Month(Fields!Month.Value))
=MonthName(Month(CDate(Fields!Month.Value)),
True)
In the meantime I will try your suggestion Katherine.
Thank you for your feedback.

How can I display more than 15 rows in a stacked 3D horizontal flash chart

It seems I cannot display more than 15 rows at a time in a stacked 3D horizontal flash chart.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Pierre

The default history length of a chart is 1024. To make it longer is a right click option.
