In BI Answers, show X axis series/unit in bar chart that has null data.

Hi,
I am showing data for each day of the week as a bar chart. Days of the week are the X axis. Sunday
sometimes has no data but I still want to show it.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks,
Graham

This will most likely need to be a modification in your RPD if not your data source. It can be accomplished in the RPD though.

Creating a chart that has one series as a scatterplot, and another series as a column plot?

I need to create a single chart that has two different series: one as a scatterplot, and another as a column plot. Please, I really have no idea how to do this, I know it's possible with excel, but I'm new to numbers and haven't figured it out yet, despite my best efforts. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi sy',
Scatter charts are the only type of chart in Numbers that have two Value axes. All of the other charts are Category charts, and have a single Value axis and a Category axis.
The two types can't be combined.
You can produce a combined line and bar chart; these are both category charts. The two can share the same value axis, or each can have a value axis with a scale and range different from the other.

How to format individual series in stacked bar chart

Hi,
Is there any way I can format (sort order, or transperency) of each series individually in a horizontal stacked bar chart?
I am trying to create a gantt chart, where I am using two series
1. Start Date
2. Duration
The function of series one (Start Date) is only to place the start position of the horizontal bar of series 2 (duration) in the year time frame.
After creation of the stacked bar chart, I want to make the reansperency of series 1 (start Date) as 0 so that the duration bar apears floating and gives the feel of Gantt chart.
Thanks

My tabs page shows nothing but the new search bar but that can't even be used either

So I use the newtabs page all the time, infact everytime I open firefox but I have opened newtabs page this morning and none of my pages are there at all and I haven't click "Hide new tabs page". All that is on the newtabs page is that new searchbar but thats not working for searches either.

Are there any errors in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) that could be related to this?

Different colors for same series in bar chart / "Deviation" Chart

Hello,
I calculate the absolute deviation for a certain characteristic - let's say 0CUSTOMER - with respect to an average value on a certain key figure - let's say "Sales".
Let's say, the average "Sales" over 3 customers is 100 .
Customer 1 has "Sales" = 150 (-> deviation = +50)
Customer 2 has "Sales" = 80 (-> deviation = -20)
Customer 3 has "Sales" = 70 (-> deviation = -30)
I'd like to show the positive and negative deviations (which build up one series) in a bar chart that is able to show the positive values in a different color than the negative values (green for positive; red for negative).
I tried the bar chart of the WAD, but I have no idea, how I can have values of the same series be shown in two different colors depending on their value (e. g. positive vs. negative).
Is there a way to smartly solve this problem?
Thanks for any answer in advance.
Best Regards,
Philipp

Hello Kai,
I've already seen that value range functionality in the chart editor. But actually I'm doing my first steps concercnig the WAD and chart design - still quite unexperienced user
I will give it a try with the value ranges... perhaps it helps me solving the problem. I will report on the outcome here.
Thx,
Philipp

How to create stack bar chart on answers that shows % and counts?

Hello guys
I currently have a table that have several columns, each column represent one product name, and one column name "units" indicating how each product is sold...
The requirement is to create a chart view with stack bar that shows the percentage of each product''s unit sales.
Now we are discussing whether we should customize the table to consolidate all these product columns into one "product desc" column with all the product names as row in order to fulfill this requirement..
PLease let me know whether this is needed or not... ALso, how would I be able to create stack bar charts that shows the total sales against each product sales in percentage and counts?
Please let me know, I really appreciate it

I tried to do this and was a bit successful. I used the paint catalog. Created a a request with 6 columns assuming units and dollars be stacked and Year ago units to be a line:
Brand Units Dollars 0 Year_Ago_units 1
Added a new request (Combined with similar request and selected paint subject area): Now in this request my columns are:
Brand 0 0 Year_Ago_Dollars Year_Ago_units 2
Assuming Year_Ago_Dollars be standard in your case.
Created a chart view with brand and 1 on x axis and Units, Dollars, Year_Ago_Dollars on y axis and line as Year_Ago_units.
Now able to see what I am expecting. May be you need to tweak a bit more according to your requirement.
Let me know if this is of any help!
Thanks.

Drill Down for Multiple Series in a Line Chart

Hello,
I seem to have a problem with the drill-down functionality in a line chart that has multiple series.
I have a line chart that displays the readings of a patient over a period of 1 month. For each day, there is the glucose level reading, blood pressure reading, etc... So, each reading is a different series in my line chart graph.
The basic requirement is: With a mouse over event on the chart, I am willing to display all the data that belongs to that day. The data will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in a small panel. It is very simple to do it when the line chart has only 1 series:
i) Enable drill down.
ii) Choose 'Row' as insertion type.
iii) Fill out the destination field.
iv) Make sure your labels (at the bottom of the screen) get the data from the destination cell.
When there is more than one series, it becomes very difficult. XCelsius will not let me use the same destination cells for different series. So, I will have to use other destination cells. In that case, I will not know on which day is the user on. Is there any way to achieve this functionality?
Let me know if you need further information.

This is certainly possible, but there's a bit of a trick to it (and really hard to explain without screenshots!). There's two halves to it:
1. Write the date that has been selected to a cell (for each series).
2. Write the name of the series that was clicked to some cell (this is the property 'Series Name Destination').
So let's say your three series are Glucose, Blood Pressure and Temp. Have those series names in B1,C1,D1 (with your dates down in column A). Insert a row below the series names (2:2), and then set up your insertion type for the chart as 'row'. The source data (for all three series) should be your list of dates in column a. The insertion cells for the three series will be, in order, B2,C2,D2. Now, depending on which point is clicked in the chart, the selected day will be inserted into one of those three cells. Completely useless unless you know which series was clicked.
So you need to insert the name of the series that was clicked ('Series Name Destination') into the spreadsheet, let's say in F1. The rest is just Excel formulas. The logic is, you can now tell what series was clicked, and go and look up the date that was inserted for that series, then go and look up the row that corresponds to that date. So to get the date that was just clicked, your formula (in F2) would be =HLOOKUP(F1,B1:D2,2,0).
Then a VLOOKUP will get the results from that row of data. For example, if I inserted another row at row 3 (to show my 'result' values) the formula in B3 would be =VLOOKUP($F$2,$A$4:$D$13,2,0).
I hope that makes sense.

Display ISO week number instead of date on x axis in Bar Chart

Hi,
I've created a simple SSRS report based on bar chart that shows several milestones. Everything works fine for me except I’m not able to convert the date into ISO week number format.
I played around with different approaches. I was able to convert the date into an ISO week Format directly on the SQL Server. That
wasn't a problem.
But unfortunately I’m not able to display the week number on the horizontal axis in my Bar Chart. I tried both fields: TaskFinishDate and TaskFinishDateMS...
I would like to show the ISO week number instead of the date within the Bar Chart on the horizontal axis.
Any ideas/hints/help is really appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Per my understanding that you want to get the week number of the year based on the field "TaskFinishDate" which is datetime type and display the week number in the x-axis instead of the field "TaskFinishDate", right?
I have check the snapshot you have provided and it seems you have change the format of the datetime field in the x-axis like "dd.MM.YYYY", If you can't make the week number to display correctly in the x-axis, the issue can be caused by you haven't
change the format to Number in the category.
Details information below for you reference:
I assume you have use expression in the Label like below to convert the datatime TaskFinishDate in to ISO week number like below:
=DatePart(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
or
=DatePart("ww",Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
Right click the X-axis and select the "Horizontal Axis Properties", then click the Number to change the format to "Number" as below:
Preview you will get the weeknumber display in the x-axis correctly.
If you still have any problem, please feel to ask.

Showing 0 value in vertical bar chart

Hi,
is it possible to show the 0 value in a bar chart using Show data labels "Always"? By default it is suppressed.
Zero is a success value in quality reporting and my clients want it to be visible, so they do not confuse it with "no data delivered". Is there any way to highlight Zeros in a bar chart?
Mny thx Thomas

We had the same issue and used a work around. Use case when value = 0 then 'Some value of choice' and it will be seen on the chart.
Let the client know that 'Some value of choice' on the chart means 0. Sounds ridiculuos, but we did not find any other alternative.

Create bar chart w/ X-axis

I have a simple spreadsheet as shown below: (Both Col B and Col C are NOT header columns)
ColB ColC
1 10
2 20
3 30
When I highlighted them and created a 2-D bar chart, Numbers treated the data in Col B and C as Y-axis data with X-axis being untitled.
However, what I want is Col B is X-axis and Col C is y-axis. The only way I can do that is set Col B as header column.
Is there any way I can do the same w/o header column??

Joe,
Bar charts are Category Charts. Category charts must have Text, not Numeric, data for the category axis (what you are calling the X-Axis). You can try formatting Column B as Text before charting.

Can we fix the Y axis in Bar chart ?

Hi All,
I have a bar chart in which the width of X axis is dynamic because i am using many months data.
But wen i am doing preview,my chart area is moving towards left.
Can we fix the y axis ,I mean the area of chart should not move.Only X axis can be stretched according to the number of months we have in x axis ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
msbilearning

Hi msbilearning,
According to your description, you want to have your Y-axis fixed in the bar chart area and the X-axis grows from from left to Right. Is my understanding correct?
In Reporintg Services, when creating a chart, we can set the DynamicWidth of the chart which can make our chart expands dynamically with the numbers of categories. In this scenario, we also need to ennable the CustomPosition of chart, set a specific
value for top and left properties so that the Y-axis will be fixed. For detail steps, please see the two blogs below:
Charts with Dynamic Height or Width based on Categories/Data
Handling Dynamic Height and Width in an SSRS Bar Chart
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Change the x-axis series in excel chart

Hi,
While plotting an Excel chart using ExcelRpt_ChartWizard(), the x - axis series starts from 0, 1, 2, 3... I like to change the series according to the data present in a particular column. Eg. If column 2 contains 2, 5, 7, 6.2... then the x-axis should be in the order 2, 5, 7, 6.2.....
Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

Hi,
Many thanks for this post, It's been quite helpful since there seems no to be so much info available about not so basic generation and manipulation of excels graphs with LabWindows (at least compared to C#).
I am struggling to set my own X-Axis as well but the best I can get is the graph looking like the one of the attached file.
The first row for the X-Axis is 11:47:00 and the last one is 17:46:25, however I get a graph between 0:00:00 and 19:12:00.
May thanks,
Best regards
