How to rotate labels of a chart on x-axis?

Hi,
I made a table, but because the labels for the values on the x-axis are too long, they are overlapping.
In excel, the text automatically gets slanted, so each label is readable.
How do I do this with numbers?
Thanks!

Yeah, it looks like unfortunately with the stunning quality of the 3-D charts (great lighting, shadows) the engineers neglected something as simple as allowing the category labels to rotate with the graph.
Heck, it would be great even if the user could drag the category labels away from the graph a little bit. Or change their position at all!
Oh well, here's hoping Apple addresses these things with the next release...

How to display axis labels on both x and y-axis of a column chart

hi,
i have an urgent requirement of having axis labels on both x and y axis

i need in y-axis ,my column values are L1,L2,L3,----L10these shuold display in y-axis in sorting order and 0 in axis should remain as it is ..........how to take the interval ....? as of now i'm using Auto
my y-axis values shud look like 0,L1,L2,L3,L4,----L10can anyone get perfect solution
thanx in advance
lucky

Hi Lucky,
Per my understanding that you want to display the values(Column1) like "L1,L2,L3....L10" which comes from the "Series group" in the Y-Axis label and keep the row group in "Category group" to
display in the x-axis and Numric column(1,2,3,4) in the "Value", right?
Gernerally the lable display in the y-axis is automatically based on the value of the Numric column in the "Value" and it default is numbric labels.
I have tested on my local environment and in your scenario, i suggest to hide the axis lable of the y-axis and create an tablix to only show the one column contains the values (L1,L2,L3,L3) to display in the place of the hidden y-axis label.
Detais information about to design an new y-axis label ae below for your reference:
Create an tablix to display only the row group of the "Column1" ( for the
Column1 may have duplicate values, you can create parent row group for this column and hide the detail column by setting the "Column Visibility").
Right click the y-axis to select the "Vertical Axis Properties" and select the "Labels" on the left pane to check the "Hide Axis labels"
Select the Chart Area and in the properties set value of left=0 under the CustomPosition:
Set the border style=None for both the Chart and Column1's row group
Drag the tablix at the position near the hidden y-axis and set the size of both the chart and the tablix to make the value in the tablix row group(Column1) to be align with the y-axis label:
Right click the "Chart legend" to delete or hide the legend
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to dynamically display data labels in area chart

Hello, everyone,
I have an stacked area chart with the data set as follows:
Values: sales
Category Group: date
Series Group: products
Now I have an requirement to display the data labels in the chart for the top 3 products with the highest sales within a certain time period (based on the date parameter). E.g. product1 in the product 1 area, product 2 in the product 2 area, etc.
Is this possible? If so how do I go about doing it?
Your help is much appreciated
Kind regards

Hi QQFA,
According to your description, you have a stacked area chart. Values is sales, Category Group is date, and Series Group is product. Now you want to show only top 3 products which has the highest sales data labels for each date.
In SQL SERVER Reporting Service, we can achieve this goal by using expression in Series Label Properties setting. I have tested it on my local environment, you can follow these steps below:
Create a new DataSet(name is “top3”).
Select use a embedded dataset in my report and put
      “ select * from(
      select Product,Sales,[Date],
      ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by [Date] order by Sales desc) as rn
      from #temp)
      where rn<4 ”
    into Query.
Right Click on your chart, select “show Data Labels”.
Right Click on any label that just appeared, select Series Labels Properties .
Click the “fx” next to Label data textbox.
Type the expression below into Set expression for Label :
     “=IIF(InStr(Join(
     lookupset(Fields!Date.Value,Fields!Date.Value,Fields!Product.Value,
     "top3"),","),Fields!Product.Value)>0,Fields!Sales.Value,"")”
     (Ps: the “lookupset” function is only supported in SQL SERVER 2008 R2 or later)
Click “OK”.
Save and preview the chart ,as shown here:
Now your chart will show you the top 3 highest sales product data labels in corresponding area.

If you have any question ,please feel free to ask.

How to show data value labels in the charts without moving my mouse on the data point?

Sometimes I need to show a chart with data value labels which is not necessary to move my mouse on the data points. However, it seems Xcelsius does not support this simple feature. Any alternative ways?
Many thanks!

Currently, Xcelsius does not support display of labels at data points. It would be difficult to move and update labels on a chart with dynamically updated data. However, a work around for a static chart would be to add a Label component in the desired location. This can be done for multiple static charts by using dynamic visibility.

Labels in Pie Charts

Hi,
I have two questions about the behavior of labels in pie charts:
Question 1:
When I format pie chart labels as 'NameandValue', the result in the label pie chart always appears as 'Value' and then 'Name', how can I change this?
Question 2:
I have several pie charts, that overlap labels, how can I customize charts in order for that never to occur?

In order to achieve that you will need to change the pcxml files controlling the pie chart (since the chart is actually produced by the Corda engine)
They are in
\\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\popbin
and for oc4j in:
\\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\popbin
I don't have all the variables available off the top of my head, but John posted a quite exhaustive list:

Vertical axis labels on column chart

I'm trying to get the x-axis labels oriented vertically on a 3D column chart, so that the labels don't overlap each other. With 2D column charts I can do this via "format>chart>format x-axis" but these options are grayed out with the 3D column chart. Is there any way to get vertical orientation on the axis labels with this chart type???

It's usually not necessary to make the axis labels vertical to keep them from overlapping in a 3D chart since when you rotate the chart the labels are vertically offset. But you're right, there's no other control for this.

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}

Help! extremely small labels in Line Chart

Hi all,
I met a problem that i've been working on for a long time.
If the SQL returned too many rows (e.g. 200+) to generate the Line Chart, the X/Y axis Labels would be too small to be recognised.
I tried whatever i can imagine, like generating much fewer labels in the PL/SQL and using a font-size 30+...
So far, so bad.
Any suggestion???
Thanks you so much!!!!

Hi,
Actually, there are many possible causes for this issue. Could you please tell me how the category labels come from? In other words, why are they all
the same? I would like to suggest you post some sample data and your chart settings here. I have created a report with chart which has duplicate horizontal axis labels. To achieve your purpose, I hide all horizontal axis labels, and then use horizontal axis
title instead of horizontal axis labels. I have uploaded my report as an example:
With duplicate horizontal axis labels:
http://cid-854fa6d2b7d88cc7.office.live.com/self.aspx/Work/Old.rdl
No duplicate horizontal axis labels:
http://cid-854fa6d2b7d88cc7.office.live.com/self.aspx/Work/New.rdl
If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

How to change the colour of chart in WAD.

Hi,
I have problem with web report. The web report with bar charts used to show with different colours earlier. Now when I execute the web report, the chart displays in single colour (All the rectangular bars in the charts are displayed in single colour say for example red). customer would like to see the chart with different colours. Please put some lights on it how to change the colour of chart in the report.
Thanks,
Sravan.

Hi Krish,
I have followed the steps which you suggested, but I am unable to see the changes when I execute the web report.
I could able to see the colour changes to the bars in the chart in the preview (i.e when I select the series 1 and change the colour for series 1 under Area properties). Like that I have done for all the 5 series, then I have clicked on Complete button, saved the web template and executed it, and I could able to see the changes in the preview but not in the report after execution.
I have two charts in my case, one is <b>Job function</b> chart and the other is <b>Job type</b> chart. The Job function chart is displaying with different colours from the begining, but the job type chart is displays all the columns in RED colour.
Is there any setting I need to do after selecting the colour at the series level.
Please correctt me if I am worng in doing the procedure.
Please update me how to do it...It is usefull if you can come back to me ASAP .
Thanks,
Saravanan.

Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip? I shot it so that it is sideways on my computer screen and I cant figure out how to rotate it.

Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto? I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it. Thanks.

You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.
