Line Chart - Current Year Sales, Current year Returns, Last year Sales, Last Year Returns

We have a report that summarises monthly sales & credits for 2 years in a group footer.   The footer is a sum of a formula in the detail section that calculates the monthly sales at the Item code level
Item 1
Group Footer 1     July     Aug     Sept     Oct
Sales Last Yr     @July_LY_Sales @Aug_LY_Sales     @Sep_LY_Sales @Oct_LY_Sales
Credits Last Yr @July_LY_Credits @Aug_LY_Cred     @Sep_LY_Cred   @Oct_LY_Cred
Sales This Yr @July_CY_Sales @Aug_CY_Sales     @Sept_CY_Sales @Oct_CY_Sales
Credits This Yr @July_CY_Cred @Aug_CY_Cred     @Sep_CY_Cred @Oct_CY_Cred
<Curr Yr Graph1>
<Last Year Graph2>
Item 2
Group Footer 1     July         Aug           Sept                               Oct
Sales Last Yr @July_LY_Sales   @Aug_LY_Sales @Sep_LY_Sales @Oct_LY_Sales
Credits Last Yr @July_LY_Cred @Aug_LY_Cred     @Sep_LY_Cred @Oct_LY_Cred
Sales This Yr   @July_CY_Sales @Aug_CY_Sales     @Sept_CY_Sales @Oct_CY_Sales
Credits This Yr    @July_CY_Cred   @Aug_CY_Cred     @Sep_CY_Cred @Oct_CY_Cred
<Curr Yr Graph1>
<Last Year Graph2>
In the footer under the data, we want a 4 line graph (or 2 x 2 line graphs for this year & last year). One line for sales for the current 12 months, and with it, a line plotting the credits, so as to see the trend over that year. And then we want a line graphing the previous years sales and a line graphing the previous year credits for the 12 months.
On the data tab in chart expert, we selected the Place chart for each SHDOC.ITEM (Item number) in the footer and this is positioning correctly. We have tried selecting "On change of shdoc.item and we have also tried For each record. We selected on change of shdoc.item to generate the graph for each item. We then added the 12 formula for the current year in the Show Value panel
In the show value panel we tried using the detail formula, the Report Area: Sum of <formula> and the Group 1: Sum Formula. They all display as @July or @Aug which is a dependent formula used to identify the month
We have added the above formula for each month and each value, but we can't work out how to group the monthly data into the 4 series of 4 lines (1 colour each) - Current Year Sales, Current Year Returns, Last Year Sales, Last Year Returns for the charting. We have tried to create a graph with only 1 set of monthly data (viz, just 12 months current year sales) But no matter what options we take, we seem to get 12 line chart representing each month rather than 1 line representing 12 months.
Can someone point us in the right direction?

Please re-post if this is still an issue but search forums first, lots of chart questions have been answered.

Flash line chart with multiple lines

Here a newbie with apex...
Created a flash line chart with as source the following sql statement:
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
group by year
a chart has been created with a single line. i wanted every year on an own line.
The way i could do this is with multiple series like:
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
where year =2008
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
where year =2009
But this not a good solition, cause now i've to add every year a new serie
hope to get some help from here... txn in advanced.

Line Chart to Compare Current Year vs Last Year

I am on BI 7 SP9. I need to create a line chart that shows 2 lines to compare revenue for the current year against last year. The first line should show the revenue for the current year. The second line should show the revenue for last year. In my BEx query, I have the fiscal period values in the row and the revenue key figure in the column. Questions:
1. How can I show 2 lines in the chart to compare revenue for the current year vs last year?
2. There are 2 variables for the fiscal period - one for current year and one for last year. The user can enter any value range in the fiscal period variables at query runtime, but the fiscal periods for each of the 2 years must be the same. This means the number of fiscal periods that appear in the query result rows will vary (e.g.. 3 periods for a quarter or 12 periods for a full year). The user has to enter the same fiscal periods for the current year and last year variables. How can I determine the fiscal period values to plot in the line chart for the current year and then last year when the number of rows in the query results will fluctuate?
The legend at the bottom of the chart should show JAN, FEB, MAR...DEC instead of the fiscal period values like 001/2007, 002/2007. Is there an exit I have to change to get this to work?
Thanks for any help you can give!

You can do it in multiple ways
1.
SELECT COALESCE(t1.Company,t2.Company) AS Company,
COALESCE(t1.Sales2015,0) AS CurrentYearSales,
COALESCE(t2.Sales2014,0) AS PriorYearSales
FROM Sales2015 t1
FULL JOIN Sales2014 t2
On t2.Company = t1.Company
2.
SELECT Company,
MAX(CASE WHEN YearVal = 2015 THEN Sales ELSE 0 END) AS CurrentYearSales,
MAX(CASE WHEN YearVal = 2014 THEN Sales ELSE 0 END) AS PriorYearSales
FROM
SELECT Company,Sales2015 AS Sales,2015 AS YearVal
FROM Sales2015
UNION ALL
SELECT Company,Sales2014 AS Sales,2014
FROM Sales2014
)t
GROUP BY Company

Ignoring current month line chart

Hie Guys,
I have a line chart with "Month-Year" as the dimension object and 3 measure objects (variables). I created variables for the measure objects so that only non-zero values are displayed. i.e. Variable 1 = Measure 1 Where (Measure 1 <>0) and so on.
Now, inside the chart, I do not want to display the current month's measure values. However, the other month's measure values should be displayed (besides the zero values).
Example format for "Month-Year" = Jan-14.
Is there a way to achieve this in Webi 4.1? Thanks.

Hi Jeewan,
I guess we have to extend this filter little bit.
The above solution will give blank value for the current month.
for example. I have applied the where condition on month object to eliminate the Current Month, But it is showing me blank value in place of current month(See below screen shot)
you have to make the another variable.
variable_name=if([calmonth]<>formatdate(currentdate();"Mmm - yy");1;0)
and then rigth click on chart
go to filter and apply filter such that
variable_name=1
Let me know if this will help you.:)

Macro issue: Current Year and Current Year +2

Hi Macro experts
I have a view in monthly buckets. I like to copy values for one KF to another from current year to only Current year + 2. I have made following macro but it dosen't work:
AT: Initiate Input Row
Copy Sales FC to Al FC Input Y+2 : ( 24 Iterations : M 03.2009 ; M 02.2011 )
IF
Check year
YEAR( DATE(
Row: Customer Forecast ( Frm M 03.2009 )
=
(YEAR( DATE( TODAY ) )
+
2
Row: Annual Target Input ( Frm M 03.2009 ) =
Row: Sales Forecast ( Frm M 03.2009 )
ENDIF
I get following message when I do the check:
Fehlerhafter logischer Ausdruck "(YEAR( 4D4HPL3ENNRMKCXE1NULTI4LX ) + 2 )":
Please help (If there is an easier way to make the macro please let me know)
Thanks
Sun

Hi
Thanks for the answer. It is a rolling period dataview. I understand you suggest the macro as:
AT: Initiate Input Row
Copy Sales FC to Annual FC Input Y+2 : ( 24 Iterations : M 03.2009 ; M 02.2015 )
Row: Annual Target Input ( Frm M 03.2011 ) =
Row: Sales Forecast ( Frm M 03.2009 )
But the problem is that when it is rolling period it will then also copy values in current year+3 and that is not acceptable. That is why I canu2019t use this macro. Values in current year (jan. month to dec. 2009) to (jan. month to dec. 2011)

I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

You'll need to do an Assumption of Liability. The parent that is the account owner and your boyfriend will both have to be at the store to do this. Your line is actually your parents and it will be your fiancee's once the change is made. But you should be able to get your upgrade and you definitely get to keep your number. Also depending on your fiancee's credit history there may be a security deposit required.

Ive had tunes downloaded on my PC for over 4 years. Currently when I login to my iTunes account it only lists 1 song on my playboard. I should have over 1000. When I log in on a different computer I can see the complete song list. Any ideas what to do?

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Reporting with Time Variance (previous year vs current year)

Good day all.
I would like to ask for advice and help in terms of best way to make this report work:
Let's say I need to show the % variance between the Total Operating Costs per Gross sqft over different times periods (Previous year to Current Year). The trick is that data must be compared to the same data in the previous year, i.e. if we are in June of current fiscal year, the comparison must be between Oct-June of current fiscal year to Oct-June of previous fiscal year, not the full previous year. The report formula itself would be:
([TCO Exp/GSF PY] - [TCO Exp/GSF CY]) / [TCO Exp/GSF PY] * 100
My guess, I could define a static variable Current Year which developers would have to be changed every year. And then create logical columns: TCO Exp PY (where year=Current Year-1)...while writing this, I realized I'm wrong and there must be a more efficient way to do this. UPD: I've also thought about time-series function AGO, but I'm currently testing it, and I'm not happy with its performance...
Thank you in advance...

Hi Wildmight,
The current value will be the value you will select from the table like you normally would do. These would be values per month if I am correct. Next to the column with the current value, you create an additional column with the AGO function in it.
Now you will have the current value and next to it the value of the required period ago. You won't need any static variables.
Let me give you an example for the last three months.
Period CY PY
jan-08 50 30
dec-07 40 20
nov-07 45 25
In this case the value 20 corresponds to the period dec-06.
I hope I made myself clear.
Good Luck,

Need to Display Data for Cummulated to Current Day of Current Fiscal Year

We use fiscal variant V3 (April-March). My need is to display data automatically from first of fiscal period (April 1 2006) to today.
I tried using 0CYTCD on Calendar Day but this works only for the current calendar year that the system is in i.e 2007.
Is there a standard variable I can use on 0CALDAY so I always get data from day one of current fiscal year/period to today? e.g. April 1, 2006 to January 3, 2007
If not, can someone please help with the exact customer exit code that I would need to write in CMOD in BW?
Thanks a ton!

I thought of using 0FYTCD variable, but I cannot find it in the business content.
Has anyone used 0FYTCD (Fiscal year to current day) in BW 3.1 SP25?
Again, I am looking for a variable that would get me the beginning of fiscal year to today.
Thanks.

Retrieving remaning months of current year from current month

Hi,
I would like te retrieve the remaining months of current year from current date.
I can I achieve this?
For example today is 23 july 2012.
Then I would like to have:
August
September
October
November
December
Thanks,
Diana

Something like this:
with generate_months as (select to_char(add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'mm'), level -1), 'fmMonth', 'nls_date_language=english') months, level lvl
                         from   dual
                         connect by level <= months_between(add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'yyyy'), 12), trunc(sysdate, 'mm')))
select months
from   generate_months
where lvl != 1;
MONTHS
August
September
October
November
December Edited by: Boneist on 23-Jul-2012 16:42
Fixed the query so that it wouldn't show any months when sysdate is in December.
Also, this is a duplicate of retrieving remaning months of current year from current month (shame I didn't spot that before adding my solution! Oh well...)

Time Series Line Chart - Monthly Sales - Make $0 or "No Sales" show up - not skipped

Post Author: kevinday17
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have been messing with my chart for a while and I guess I'll just ask for help since I can't figure it out. All I am trying to do is chart out monthly sales dollars by customer. Simple enough...I have it working except I want to be able to see a $0 plotted on my graph when there were no sales in a month. Currently it just skips over that month and goes to the next where there is data (month after i.e next group summary field)). I've tried all sorts of ways of grouping. If I use the "group by date, monthly," on the "Order Date" field, I can't chose it as the "On Change of" under Advanced chart (single arrow is greyed out). So I ended up making a huge formula to make my own groups of months. My GH2 is the customer (and my chart), GH3 is my Grouping for month and year, and the detail is every single sales order. My graph points are based on summary data; sum of all the sales orders for that customer for that month.
How do I tell Crystal Reports that if there were no sales in December, then tell me 0. Don't just ignore it.
Maybe there is an option to make the X Axis Fixed with points (month-year, in order). It would be nice to have it uniform for every customer. I would love to see every graph that prints out have 36 x-axis coordinates; one for every month of the last 36 months (jan-05, feb-05, mar-05......dec-07) regardless of whether or not the customer had sales or not.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kevin

So if your AMNT is a null value it should put 0, else the AMNT
