Interactive Column Chart w/Sliding Date Range?

I've created a stacked column chart in Numbers 3.0. It displays stacked data for a one week period using seven columns, one for each weekday. Is it possible to make an interactive version of this chart that would still display all seven stacked columns, but allow me to use a slider control to adjust the date range? Ideally I'd like the slider to adjust the date range one day at a time, so I have a rolling 7 day view of my data.
Any suggestions?

Data is the original data table.
Set Start is a four cell table with A2 set as a Slider, range 1 - 100, and the formula below in B2:
B2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,A,0)
Cell B2 is for display only. It offers live feedback to the user while setting the beginning date for the chart, but is not used in the calculations in For Chart.
For Chart is a Summary table containing the headers shown.
There is one formula in this table, entered in A2, then filled right to D2, and down to row 8:
A2: =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-2+Set Start :: $A$2,COLUMN()-1)
The chart draws its information from For Chart. Here is a second chart image using the same data table. The only change is that the user has reset the slider to a larger value. The start date on this chart is the same as the last date on the one above.

Barry

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.

Stacked column chart from XML data source

I have an XML file, which lists elements with three
attributes: date, inactive-interval, user-count.
I need to build a stacked column chart with a single column
for each distinct date, one stack for each distinct
inactive-interval for that date, and the height of the stack equal
to the user-count.
I can define ColumnSeries with yField="user-count"
xField="date", but I don't know how to partition the column into
stacks by inactive-interval values.
Here is a sample data set:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<data>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="0"
user-count="3"/>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="7"
user-count="2"/>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="30"
user-count="4"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="0"
user-count="4"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="7"
user-count="2"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="30"
user-count="3"/>
</data>

Your CategoryAxis id="ha_ccm" uses categoryField="period", and this is the label for the your series (i.e. "Quarter 4/2010"). You cannot have multiple categoryFields for the CategoryAxis; it can only use one data field for the labels. You can use data tips and/or label functions to show the individual series' values on the columns.
Also:
Your labelField in the ColumnSeries are set to a ColumnSet name instead of a field name in your dataprovider.
Font must be embedded if you set ColumnChart.showLabelVertically="true".

Issue with displaying QM control chart for specific date range

Dear All
In our chemical mfg organisation, we just implemented SAP QM solution and things are working fine. I have implemented control chart functionalities as below:
SPC Criteria in Inspection Plan: Task List Charateristics / Material (0020)
Sampling Procedure: Fixed Sample / SPC Inspection (without inspection point)
We use process orders to get the inspection lots for products (material) and record results for the MICs and UD the inspection lots.
Currently all our Control Chart have status 1 (created) and we have not moved any of those charts to status 3 and 5 yet.
Using QGC1 when user trying to run control chart for any particular material in the plant and for a specific date range, report showing all the charts for that material with different MICs as expected. Though the result is NOT restricted to the selection dates either against "Lot Created On" or " Insp. Start Date" ( may be due to SPC criteria????) , its always showing all the result for any particular MIC for that material starting from go live till today.
How to restrict the dispaly of result on the chart for any particular MIC against the Material / Plant within a specific date range ?
Looking forward for your response.
Best Regards
SK

Hi,
1. Even though when i give the Created on, and to date the system is displaying the report which is prior to the created on date.
2. Similarly the report data is different when the field is maximum no of Hits is given. for example when i giving this field as 10, 20, 30, etc the report is showing only 10 line items. if i enter 50, 60 etc it is showing the list for half i given.
Note that system is having more than 1000 line items to display..

How to scale data in column chart?

Hi,
I have a column chart who's data ranges from 638 to 4,263,000. Due to this extreme range, the lower valued columns are hardly visible
Is there a way by which I can scale up the lower values or scale down the higher values, ultimately resulting in a chart with visible columns to the naked eye. Here's the screen shot for your reference:
(Click on the image to enlarge)
Appreciate you help...
-Deepak

Hello,
Thank you so much for that hint That one prompted me to use a PlotSeries instead of a ColumnSeries. And PlotSeries clearly shows up all the items, irrespective of how low or how high the value is. Looking at it, the user can drill down further, by clicking on that item.

Decimal Point data for Stacked Column Chart

Hi,
I use a basic version of a Column chart for one of my projects. I use a stacked column chart with 2 data series namely "Expenses" & "Profit".
I use decimal point numbers (with only two or three places after the decimal point) for both series.
When I mouse over the bars of the output for tool tip, I view more numbers after the decimal point for some data.
How to fix the decimal point to only 2 places & what is the reason for this behaviour?
Attached is the sample output (output.gif) showing the above condition for the mentioned data.
-Sen

Create an toolTipShow event handler and use a NumberFormatter to set the precision of the numbers (sample code from LiveDocs):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            // Define variable to hold the number.
            [Bindable]
            private var bigNumber:Number = 6000000000.65;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    
    <mx:NumberFormatter id="PrepForDisplay"
        precision="0"
        rounding="up"
        decimalSeparatorTo="."
        thousandsSeparatorTo=","
        useThousandsSeparator="true"
        useNegativeSign="true"/>

How to get XLR to show BPs with no transaction data for a given date range

Hi -
I am building an XLR report that does a comparison of net sales data across two periods for a given sales employee's BPs.
The report has the row expansion:
FACT BPA(*) SLP(SlpName = "ASalesPersonNameHere") ARDT(Code = "ARCreditMemo", "Invoice") Group by BPA.CardName
and column expansions:
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate:@EndDate)
and
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate2:@EndDate2)
where @StartDate, @EndDate, @StartDate2, @EndDate2 are parameters that define the two ranges of dates.
The column formulas are, from left to right:
=ixDimGet("BPA", "CardName")
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for first date range
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for second date range
The report works fine except for one problem, I would like it to include BPs for which no transaction occurred in either date range as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lang Riley

Really appreciate your feedback! Those are good suggestions. I should have mentioned that I had already tried both those suggestions.
Removing FACT on BPA in this case ends up returning all the BPs and not respecting the SLP(SlpName = "aName") part of the query.
Using **, i.e., * or #NULL, makes no change in the resulting data in this case. I had thought that ** would be the solution, but it didn't change the outcome. I still have BPs for which when their sales employee is used as the filter and they have no transactions for either date range, and yet they still do not appear.
I should further mention that the IXL query, as it now stands, does return BPs for which one of the periods has no data, just not both, and I have verified that applicable BPs with no transaction data for both periods do exist in my data set. It seems that perhaps the IXL query needs to be restructured? Please keep the suggestions coming including how this query might be restructured if necessary.

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

Stacked Column Chart with Lines

Requirement:
User stacked Column chart to display data for defects for 4 departments.
1 or 2 lines to show baseline for defects(constant).
Is there anyway that I can do that just like we can create one in Excel?
(stack a Stacked column chart with a line chart is not a solution.)
Any advises?
Thanks,
Wen

Hi Wen,
I realise that you are not going to get this to work with a standard component on its own. I think it might be possible to acheive it with overlaying barcharts and combination charts.
My assumption is that you are looking for something that has a stack with 3 separate items in it. Two target lines crossing over the stacked chart.
I will have a look at this to see if I can come up with something. Let me know if this is not your requirement.
No, I don't work for SAP. I think those that do have the SAP logo beside them.

Problem with loading column chart in flex2

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem in designing a column chart. I have a page where i have two column charts. The data providr for both the charts is same. I have an xml with three categories of values, and each chart uses two of these with one of them being common and they are actually sorted based on one of those values. The problem here is that one chart shows proper values while the other (though shows proper values) it doesnt render it properly in the sense that the height of the columns and the value of that particular column are not consistent. What could be the issue????

It's necessary to discard the white spaces.
Set the ignoreWhite property to true.
document.ignoreWhite = true;

Your reply is always appreciated.

By default Enable Alert option is un ticked check box, if you try to bring new colum chart and see if that enable or not.
If you get enabled Alert option in new one then delete old one and use new one.

Sum data for a given day within a given date range

Anyone know how to add data in a coulumn if the adjacent column meets a specific date range? For example I want to add up hours flown (pilot logbook) in each specific month on a seperate type.

Hi Jeff,
Here's a simple example of how you might do this. Before getting involved with the EOMONTH function you can try a less compact (but somewhat easier to understand) approach. Add Year and Month columns to your log. You can extract the values from the date using the MONTH and YEAR functions or just enter them manually. Then do something like this:
The formula in the B2 of the Year table, copied down, is:
=SUMIFS(Log::$E,Log::$A,A2)
The formula in C2 of the Month table, copied down, is:
=SUMIFS(Log::$E,Log::$A,A2,Log::$B,B2)
These two formulas look at the cell(s) to their left and pull the corresponding totals out of the Log table.
Think of the arguments within SUMIFS as first the column of data to be summed, followed by column-criteria pairs. The criteria are in the cells to the left. The columns are in the Log table.
