Legend and bars colors on charts not consistent.

Using Crystal XI, I have a report that selects a top 10 categories in the report.  For each of the 10 categories, I have 4 stacked bar charts showing "dispatched" and "not dispatched".  I also have 1 subreport that charts two trend lines(one for "dispatched" and one for "not dispatched").
The problem is the color of bars/lines are not holding the same colors for "dispatched" and "not dispatched" from chart to chart.  I verified each chart is sorted in the same manner, but that doesn't seem to matter. 
I need "dispatched" to be the same color bar/line on all charts for each category and the same for "not dispatched". 
Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening or how I may be able to prevent this?
I have tried to changing each chart manually, but if the category changes at the next run, the colors are randomly selected again.

I can try... First, be sure you are in design mode, not preview.  Right click the chart and select chart expert.
The fifth tab over should be "Color Highlight" click on new,   in the item editor section ( to the right ) you should
be able to select a item from your database, as well as a condition...   ie   customer region is equal to auckland
You can select a color below this section.  Since you are changing this in the design mode, it should apply to
the chart every time it appears in the report.
Not the best solution, but it should work for your situation.

  • 1600 all-in-one series printer error message to remove and check color cartridge will not go away

    Error message, remove and check color cartridge will not go away even after replacing cartridge (same refilled).  Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the very same problem with my HP Officejet 7410 so cleaned the ink cartridge and carriage contacts per the directions listed on this link: 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01423559&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    After my first attempt at cleaning these contacts, i reinserted the cartridge and tried printing again but I got the same error message.  Next I removed both cartridges (color & black) from their slots and after pointing a flashlight at the carriage I discovered the bottom of the carriage was covered with ink, so....using over a dozen cotton swabs I cleaned the bottom of the carriage as best i could.  Also, thinking that perhaps the ink cartridge was not manufactured exactly to its proper size and shape, when i inserted the cartridges back into their slots I slightly pressed them in to be sure the contacts would touch. 
    I was happy to see that now the error message is gone and my printer is printing again....well, at least for now.

  • Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent

    Hi Gurus ,
    can you please tell what i should do when the system gives the message that Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent . this is happening when i post document in FB50.

    Owing to program or transport errors, the company code assignment of profit centers may not be stored correctly.
    This inconsistent data then causes program terminations or short dumps in further processing.
    This note contains the report ZPCA40B_CHECK_CEPC_BUKRS, which checks the consistency of the company code assignment and corrects possible errors.

  • How to change web button and bars colors??

    is there anyway to change illustrators default web buttons and bars after they are dragged to the canvas. it seems a lot of the buttons are yellow or blue. i wanted to specifically change the color of a "talk bubble." thanks

    You haven't specified which version of Illustrator you are using, but I will assume for purposes of this discussion, that my version, CS3, is not vastly different from yours. The "Web Buttons and Bars" is a collection of symbols, which gives you several options. When you drag a symbol to the artboard three buttons appear in the Control Panel: Edit Symbol, Break Link, and Duplicate. Each affords you certain option for editing the symbol.
    Edit Symbol puts the symbol into Isolation Mode, which allows access to the parts of the symbol through the Layers Panel and the Appearance Panel, and may be changed using any colors, effects, transformations, additions, deletions, or anything else you choose to do to it. When you are finished editing, and exit Isolation Mode, the changes you have made will appear in the symbol in the Symbols Panel and in any instances of the symbol you have put on the artboard.
    Break Link turns the symbol instance you have selected into an object which may be changed in any manner you choose, just as if you had built it yourself and then changed your mind. Changes to the object will have no effect on other instances of the symbol, nor on the symbol in the Symbols Panel, because it is no longer a symbol and is completely unrelated to either. If you wish, you may turn the edited object into a new symbol.
    Duplicate turns the selected symbol instance into a new symbol, identical to the original but having no connection either to it nor to other instances of the original. If the first symbol was named "Original," then a new one will appear in the Symbols Panel named "Original 1." The same options will be available in the Control Panel, and any changes you make will only be applied to the new symbol and any instances of it that you may have put onto the artboard.
    You may save your edited symbols through the Symbols Library Menu in the Symbols Panel.
    If any of this is unclear, doesn't work, or is flat wrong, please let me know.

  • Change default colors of charts

    Hello everyone,
    is it possible to change the default background color and fonts color of charts? I know about changing the line colors (which I have already done according to our corporate design), but I did not find anything about setting background colors by default. We have two different themes (a dark and a bright one) and I don't want to copy the charts just to apply different colors to it.
    Thank you in advance
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I understand that BI 11g, gives some standard colors to the chart (The first preference might be blue ;) If I remember correctly). However, say you would like to change the color of the chart to green, I think we cannot directly override its color. Instead we can take a approach of chart options based on position at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10544/creatingviews.htm#CHDDEFEF
    As per the above link, we can give custom color to the bars based on the order they come up. Like in a group, 1st one blue, 2nd one green, 3rd yellow etc.
    So if you have only one bar per graph, use this setting to specify the graph color using position =1
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Photoshop and InDesign not consistent identifying colors in alternate spaces

    Pantone 413 (as an example) in Photoshop has a CMYK equivalent of C-22, M-17, Y-24, K-0, and an RGB reading of 197,196, 187, and a hex #c5c4bb.
    Pantone 413 in InDesign gives me the following conversions: CMYK 0-0-9-20, RGB 209-208-295, and HEX # D1D0C3.
    There are additional differences in Adobe Illustrator. 413 is not the only color giving me inconsistent color readings across apps.
    Both apps are set in Bridge to North American Pre-Press2.
    What is the most accurate method of determining CMYK, RGB, and HEX equivalents of PMS colors?
    InDesign/Photoshop/AI CS4, OS X 10.5.8, Intel iMac.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Post 2 is a valid solution and the best solution, but:
    If you are not comfortable using Lab values for spot color CMYK builds – that is you would prefer to use Pantone CMYK book values – you need to avoid using the Pantone Solid Libraries.
    (The Pantone Solids were not really designed for CMYK print design. So many of these colors simply cannot be replicated in the CMYK color space. Trying to achieve a close match may result in disappointment)
    Use either a Pantone Bridge library, or the more traditional Solid to Process library.
    However in Photoshop your troubles may not end there. If you have an RGB Photoshop image, the color values will not hold in InDesign. The reason is these are CMYK libraries. When used in RGB color space they will be mapped to RGB. When placed in InDesign, they will be remapped to CMYK on output using color management and the book values do not hold.
    Confused yet? Don't feel alone...

  • How can I change the bar color (data series) in a chart on the iPad version?

    The number of different. colors used in a char (line, bar, pie, ...)  appears to be limited to six, quite short for my needs, however, Excel imported charts show up in the original colors (12)...  until I change the chart type (to get a homogenous look with the rest of the content) it gets changed to the 6 basic colors. Any clue on how to modify individual series colors? Note that I am asking about the iOS version.
    Thnx

    Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
    names.
    Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
    that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
    It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
    could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
    to read.
    And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
    with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
    BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
    increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
    little clearer.

  • I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

    I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
    When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
    I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
    The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

  • Colors not consistent with Snow Leopard 10.6 on an Eizo SX2761W monitor

    I am unable to get any color consistency with Snow Leopard 10.6 on my Eizo SX2761W display.
    Most of the actual "content" (i.e. images, videos, websites, etc.) is displayed very saturated and dark, much more saturated and dark than in 10.5.8. I presume that's because of Snow Leopard's new gamma value. The problem is, all of OS X's GUI elements, like the dock, icons and color labels in the finder, title bar buttons, etc. are not displayed in the same manner. These elements are all very desaturated, pale and grayish. NoMachine NX sessions running in X11 (via Rosetta) also have this desaturated look in Snow Leopard.
    Here's a screenshot comparison I put together, that shows those color inconsistencies using the example of Mozilla's Firefox logo on the web in Safari, on the web in an NX session and as an icon in the Finder and in the Dock:
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/7276/SnowLeopard-ColorsAndContrast.png (1 MB)
    As far as I could test it, I get these color/contrast discrepancies only on the Eizo SX2761W monitor. I checked this on a classic Mac Pro and a late Mac mini with the same results. On a MacBook and its internal display Snow Leopard's colors seem consistent.
    I tried to recalibrate the SX2761W profile, I tried out all the other standard color profiles available in Snow Leopard, I tried to copy my old profiles over from a Leopard backup, but I was unable to get rid of the display inconsistencies. After a whole day of trying and tinkering I went back to 10.5.8 to get a consistent color environment back.
    Any ideas what's causing this and more importantly what to do about it? I have to say I'm at my wits end. The only thing I can think of is mailing this issue to Apple in the hope there will be a point release in the not too distant future that fixes the problem.

    I have what I assume is the same problem. It just started today on my DELL WFP2407 - but remains even when switching to my MacBook Pro's built in screen.
    The Dock, Safari, the desktop background - and probably other colour managed applications; all show very pale blue hues with over saturated red. Blue goes towards purple and other colours get muddled and pale. Oddly the Finder displays colours correctly on icons, but not the dock. I took a screenshot of Finder's Safari icon next to The Dock's:
    http://www.nuxx.dk/hosting/paledock.png
    - Clearly showing significant inconsistency... I just updated to 10.6.1 which didn't change anything.
    Needless to say I tried calibrating a new colour profile to no effect, and seeing as the finder itself renders things just fine I'm not sure that's where the issue lies.
    This is a huge problem for me, I hope there is a simple solution.

  • Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

    I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
    Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
    The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
    Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.

  • Controlling Chart Bar Colors

    Hello, I'm just beginning to add charts to my application and I'm finding it difficult to control Chart bar color dynamically. I would like Red, Yellow, Green bars based on limits on the Bar value. Example Values under 5 may be Green, 5 - 9 Yellow, and over 10 Red. The HTML chart appears to either be Random or one Specifc color, and the SVG Chart appears to only be a sinlge color. Both are chosen on the attribute screen of the chart.
    Anyone done Dynamic Chart Bar coloring? - Thanks

    Hi, and welcome!
    Have a look at: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=44602:2]
    To get this on a Flash Chart, I have:
    1 - Set the chart type to: Stacked 2D Column
    2 - Set the Color Scheme setting to: Custom
    3 - Set the Custom Colors to: red,yellow,green
    4 - Created THREE series (with a maximum of 15 rows each) with the following SQL statements:
    Series 1:
    SELECT NULL LINK, ENAME LABEL, CASE WHEN SAL < 1000 THEN SAL ELSE 0 END VALUE FROM EMP WHERE SAL IS NOT NULL ORDER BY ENAME
    Series 2:
    SELECT NULL LINK, ENAME LABEL, CASE WHEN SAL BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 THEN SAL ELSE 0 END VALUE FROM EMP WHERE SAL IS NOT NULL ORDER BY ENAME
    Series 3:
    SELECT NULL LINK, ENAME LABEL, CASE WHEN SAL > 2000 THEN SAL ELSE 0 END VALUE FROM EMP WHERE SAL IS NOT NULL ORDER BY ENAME
    As long as my SQL is correct and the SAL value ranges don't overlap, each ENAME entry will appear in one, and only one, series - for the other two series, the value will be reset to 0, so nothing is shown.

  • CR for VS 2005 - Bar Chart - Bar colors

    Hi,
    I'm creating a report in Visual Studio 2005 and have a bar chart in it.  I've searched the forums but can't seem to find out how to change the colors of the Series bars.
    If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Apparently, the version of CR that ships with Visual Studio doesn't allow much in the way of customization.  I have since upgraded to CR 2008 and can now change the bar colors.

  • SSRS 2008: how to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis when no data available

    Hi,
    I am using SSRS 2008, I generated one chart in report designer with the data from Analysis Services (Cube).
    According to the dataset, there is no data returned when I run the query. so when I preview the chart, there is nothing but "no data available" showing on the chart.
    Here I want to know is there any possible to show an empty chart with legend and x and y axis?
    If it is possible, can you tell me how can I make it?
    Best Regards.
    Connie Zhu

    Hi,
    When there is no data, the chart displays the message "no data available". But using a little work around, you can display an empty chart.
    Please find the below steps given to achieve this
    1. Create a new dataset using TSQL to return 1 row of data having the category field and value field set to 0. Add the fields that are necessary for the category fields, series fields and datafields.
       A simple example would be like
       SELECT 'abc' as Category, 0 as Amount
    2. Add a new chart, set the category field to 'Category' and set the data field to Amount from above dataset created in step 1.
    3. In the new chart, right click the category axis and select axis properties, Click on the labels tab, check on
    'Hide axis labels' and then click ok
    4. Now set the Visibility property of both the charts depending on the rows returned from your main dataset
       a. click on your main chart and set its Hidden property to :
    =iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),false,true) 
       b. click on the new blank chart added and set its Hidden proprety to (the opposite) :
    =iif(CountRows("MainDataSet"),true,false) 
       Note : Please change the dataset name in above expression "MainDataset" to the name of your chart's dataset
    5. Resize the new chart to the same size as your main chart, then position the new chart on the place as the main chart.
       (Note : You can set the position of new chart to be same by copying the location property from the main chart) 
    6. Now run and observe the result. When there are no rows returned by your main dataset, the new chart (the blank chart) should be displayed.
    I've added a working sample of this kind of a report
    here.
    Hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss if you have any questions.
    Please click "Mark as Answer" if this resolves your problem or "Vote as Helpful" if you find it helpful.
