Line chart cuts off x-Axis value

Hi All,
Have created a display to display an x-Axis value versus a Y-Axis value using a Line Chart. We want to maximize the chart space so we have removed the Legend from the display, problem is doing this cuts of part of the final x-Axis label and part of the final data point on the graph ? Why - can we move the borders out ?
Emmett

Emmett,
You can "Fake" some extra space out of the right side of the chart by setting the legend colors to blend into the background of the chart. This includes unchecking the "Use Pen Color?" box and setting the labels in the legend to match as well. Then simply set the legend to be whatever additional width you need. Other than this there's not really any other way that I can think of. Hope this helps.

Financial Reporting Line Chart - disable #missing or #zero values

I need some help regarding the line chart in financial reporting. I want to create a line chart for actual and forecast-values. The underlying Grid contains following values:
actual-jan = 100
actual-feb = 121
actual-march = 119
actual-april to actual-dec = #missing
forecast-jan = 100
forecast-feb = 121
forecast-march = 119
forecast-april to forecast-dec = 125
In the line chart I get two lines, one for actual and one for forecast. Now my Problem is that the actual line has to stop with the march-value but it moves forward till december on the zero level.
Has anyone an idea how to get the line stopped at march?
kind regards
kai

Supressing or replacing zeroes does not help, the chart still drops to zero for future periods.
I created an extra column in my grid. In this column i used a formula that says if column a (current year) is greater than zero, show column a numbers, if not, show the number from the row above. I have separate reports for debits and credits, if you are OK with showing negative numbers, just adjust the formula. What my new column does is forecasts a straight line for all future periods for the current year. It is not the exact preferred result, but it keeps the scale appropriate and with a little education almost every executive has accepted it.

Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

The subject line above says it all. Just need to know how to correct the problem. Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

My personal opinion is that it is a problem from some books that have been published via Smashwords. That has been my experience for one or two books I've downloaded. I contacted the author in one case and he replied:
"Just to let you know I've had some feedback from Smashwords about the odd display issue. It's relates to the line spacing in the original document, apparently. I'll be uploading a fixed version to them in the near future, though it might take a while for the new version to trickle down to the iBookstore."
So I dunno if your book is published by Smashwords, but if it is it may be worth contacting author?

When using Windows 2007 in Vista and HP Deskjet 6620 the bottom line gets cut off

When using Windows 2007 in Vista 32bit and HP Deskjet 6620 printer, the bottom line gets cut off. I have searched and searched but find no fix. Please help. What I do find is HP blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming HP. Where is the fix??? Think of all of us frustrated users. Is there a fix out there????? I attempted to download a new driver, assign it then attempted the patch all to no avail. I was even told try to bold the document...still no fix. Where is the patch? This is an HP issue. Please assist.
I hope this gets addressed ASAP. In my search many have had this issue with HP. Here is one comment...and it does not look good..."I am extremely upset with this issue and spent far too long trying to work with HP support. The HP support person was hopeless. I gave up and went off on my own. I hope HP releases drivers that correct this problem rightly in the future."
If this is not fixed or addressed I am sure it will affect the future buying of HP products from me and others. Let's see HP come out of this issue smelling like a rose. I await the fix.
Message Edited by KimINgr on 07-13-2009 08:01 PM

I will reply to myself....there is a fix. Thanks to someone else who had the same issue, went round and round with HP and then had this issue escalated up to get a more experienced tech who then had the print driver 990C installed to replace the driver he had selected. Me I had the 6620 which is the correct driver but had the issues so I tried the 990C driver and guess what.....it worked!!!!!!! So, HP is this your driver issue or is it Microsoft? I say driver issue. You might want to get a patch out their for the fix.

Webi Line Chart to Start from Axis Origin

Hi,
Need a quick help in BI4.0 webi line chart formatting.
I have datetime on x-axis and cash flow on Y-axis.
Say my cash flow starts at 9am on a day with $100 , my line chart starts the plot from 9am i.e. (9am,$100)
instead I want the line plot to always start from (0,0)
This is probably a chart option, but i dont find it.

Hi Thangaraj,
I have a similar requirement for a line chart to start from 0,0. while its min value is greater than 0.
We are on BO 4.1 SP4 and there is no direct chart option for this.
I would like to know whether you were able to achieve this in web intelligence.
I really appreciate your reply.
Thanks,
Sri

Plot empty point in line chart with previous non empty value

Hello,
I have a problem to plot series data in SSRS line chart, with the empty point, I don't want use average and zero provided by the report builder, I want use the last non empty data to fill the empty point, tried to use expression =Previous(Field!Value), no
luck, any one have some good idea?
P.S. do not want to use query to fill the null with previous non null value, just from the performance point view. at last , the chart should have some line as square wave with different height, if I use average for empty point, it shows slop wave line which
is not reflect the real production.
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
In Reporting Services, if the chart type is a linear chart type (bar, column, scatter, line, area, range), null values are shown on the chart as empty spaces or gaps between data points in a series. By default, empty points are calculated by taking the average
of the previous and next data points that are not null.
If we want to use previous value to replace the empty value, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the field which displayed in Y axis (Height) to open the Series Properties.
In the Value field to modify the expression to look like this:
=iif(isnothing(Sum(Fields!Height.Value)),previous(sum(Fields!Height.Value)),sum(Fields!Height.Value))
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to make line chart start at y-axis?

How do you make the series on a line chart start at the y-axis? I tried adding a data point for y(x=0), but the Xcelsius graph drops it and starts with y(x=1). How do I fix that? This is especially important for series that need to start at zero.

Post Author: amr_foci
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
its all based on ur design of your Excel sheet
design how it will be in Excel first
then go to xeclsius
,,, by the way it looks very easy task
you can do it.

When I print a selection of text the top half of the first line is cut off, i. e. isn't printed, OS X 10.7.2, Firefox 9.0.1.

When I try to print selected text ("Print Selection Only"), the top half of the first line of the first page is chopped off. Then the last line is chopped in half (top half on the bottom of page 1, bottom half on top of page 2). This occurs on all subsequent pages.

I have a very similar problem on the same versions of Firefox and OS X as the OP.
For me, the cutoff problem occurs on the top and bottom of ALL pages intermittently, depending on the line spacing of the current selection (or so I assume).

How to use custom function for formatting the Line Chart Axes?

Hi...
I'm using a Line chart who's y axis value range from 0 to 50000. This is a number which it gets from it's dataProvider. I want to format this and show it as
$50,000
$40,000
$30,000
$20,000
$10,000
$0
instead of
50000
40000
30000
20000
10000
0
Here's my linechart code:
<mx:LineChart id="revTimeLineChart"
            width="100%" height="100%"
            showDataTips="true" >
            <mx:horizontalAxis>
               <mx:CategoryAxis id="lcCatAxis" categoryField="name"/>
            </mx:horizontalAxis>
            <mx:series>
               <mx:LineSeries id="ls" yField="revenue" displayName="Revenue" showDataEffect="{slideIn}"/>      (yField is what I want to format....)
            </mx:series>
</mx:LineChart>
Can you please let me know how can this be achieved?

Simple Line Chart - Values over time

A simple line chart displaying a set of values over time would seem to be a very easy report to design. I'll be darned if I can see how to design it. Can anyone shed some light?
I have provided links to a report and a spreadsheet which is the report datasource. My actual report will use SQL Server as its datasource. I am providing ths excel based example for the sake of protability.You will need to set the datasource location after saving the files to your hard drive.
I can get the lines to draw properly, what I cannot figure out is how to specify the datetime values for the x axis. The column I would like to use on the x-axis is called DerivedLoggingTime.
I'd also like to get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values. I am not always happy with the values that the log algorithm comes up with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Link to report|http://www.usol.com/~joe/linechart.rpt]
[Link to spreadsheet|http://www.usol.com/~joe/AnalysisResults.xls]
Another discovery while working on this report - our database will be SQL 2008 and we are making use of the datetime2 datatype. CR appears to be treating this datatype as text. So when working with the SQL based datasource, I had to cast datetime2 columns as datetime in order for CR to see the columns as datetime instead of text. This is fine in this instance because the granularity of the datetime values for this particular report does not require datetime2, but that will not always be the case. CR will need to recognize the new datatype.
Edited by: Joe Sytniak on Jul 17, 2008 5:37 PM

Hi Joe,
The Date Axis Line Chart of the Numeric Axis Type Chart, can be used to display data on a regular interval of days, Months and Years. The information displayed can unfortunately not be more granular that days.
This type of chart is generally used when the data is recorded on irregular intervals in the database, and to make sense of the information stored it needs to be displayed at regular intervals.
Since the data stored in your data source seems to be stored every 4 minutes, it will not be necessary to use this type of chart. I will suggest to use the regular line chart instead.
To create a line chart using your date time field and value:
1. Select "Chart" under the menu "Insert"
2. Insert the chart on your report in the desired section.
    ( Group Header # 3 in your case. )
3. In the "Chart Expert" window, under the tab "Type",
    change the chart type to a line chart by selecting "Line" in
    the "Chart Type" list.
4. Under the tab "Data", add the database field that contains the Date Time information under the "On change of" list.
(In your case, add the "DerivedLoggingTime" database field)
5. To display the data for each minute, select the database fields you just added under the "On Change of" list, and
click on the button "Order". In the "Chart Sort Order" window,
select "For each minutes" in the "Section will be printed" drop down list, then click "OK"
6. Add the field you want to display the value in the "Show Value List", then click "OK"
Now it will display a line chart as desired, but since there is a lots of data point on your chart, the x axis date time labels will overlap each other. To avoid this situation, I will suggest to skip labels.
To format a chart to skip labels:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the x axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (X) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (X) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Layout", check the option "Skip Group Labels" and set the value to 15 for example.
Now, it will display the date time label at every 15 data point.
As for your question on how get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values, we unfortunately do not have much control over it other than:
- Entering static values, or
- Checking or Unchecking the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
The above options are available on the y axis. To change those options:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the y axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (Y) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (Y) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Scales", you will see the following options:
- Minimum Values
- Maximum Values
- Use Logarithmic scales
I will suggest to check the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
Finally, as for the issue you discovered where SQL Server 2008 data type DateTime2 is converted to a string in Crystal Reports 2008, it is important to note that SQL Server 2008 hasn't been released yet, therefore it has not been tested in Crystal Reports 2008. Once SQL Server 2008 is released, I will suggest to test it again using the ODBC driver provided with this new version.
At this point I am assuming that this is happening because it is a new data type and an unknown data type get converted to string.

Line Chart X Axis Not Sorted Correctly

I have created a line chart where the x axis is date closed and the y axis is number of days to close. This chart is placed within a group called priority.
When the chart is created the close dates are not on the x axis in ascending order. I'm expecting it to be 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc. but instead I'm getting 10/6, 10/31, 10/28, etc. from left to right.
I've got the Record Sort set to closed date ascending and if I place the records into the report they sort correctly. It's just the chart that sorts incorrectly.
What am I missing here?

Hi Jason,
here is the steps you should follow in order ro set the sorting for barchart.
1. go to chart expert
2. click on data tab
3. select the field in the selected list of report columns on which you have to sort, then the order button will be enabled
4. click on the order button
5 it will open new window by name "chart sort order", where you can set the sorting order(ascending order, descending order, specified order or the original order) for the selected report column.
I hope this will help you..

BT Telephone line failure and cut off broadband mo...

I am writing to complaint about BT service!.
The beginning of July: I phoned BT because...., whenever I received phone calls from outside or overseas, or I phoned to my house from my mobile phon, I heard very bad noise. Morover, when someone phoned landline our internet line was cut off.
BT operator answered that i would be fixed within 2, 3 days.
26th July (Friday): I phoned BT again because the condition was the same. BT operator said the same answer the before. He said that ' Next Tue and Wed, our engineer would sor it out.'
We went summer holliday from 27th July to 18th Aug.
23rd Aug (Friday): I had to phone BT again because the condition was the same... not fixed.. BT operator said that "27th and 28th Aug, our engineer would ficed for you."
5th Sep (Thurs) at 2:50PM: BT enginner came to my house and he cut off the broadband line without my permission.
After that, I phone BT almost every day (6th to 11th Sep) what is going on??? However, BT operators didn't explain it to me any ditails.... THe said just excuse....
12th Sep (Thurs): I phoned BT and BT operator said that one of their managers would phone me tomorrow(13th Sep Fri.).
HOWEVER, NOBODY PHONED ME !!!
13th Sep (Fri): I had to phone BT at 5:00PM. I was very very upset at that time, because we couldn't use any internet.
BT operator said that BT would phone me around 3:00PM tomorrow.
14th Sep (Sat): Finally, BT phone me at 2:50PM and BT operator (Female) said that BT obtain permission for digging from Council. Therfore, it would be fixed soon.
I was waiting any progress information from BT until 18th Sep (Wed).
18th Sep (Wed): I phoned BT at 1:00PM and BT operator(Prithika) said that BT engineer would come to my house at 6:30PM for fixing lines for me. HOWEVER, HE DIDN'T TURN UP. (BT let me down again.)
at 6:40PM: I had to phone BT. BT operator(Basba) expained it to me (excuse again!) then,
at 7:00PM:   He put me through "Broadband Team' to temporary close the internet line to activate, but in vain.
at 7:15PM:    He put me through "Technical Department". BT operator (Ranjeet) expained that there were 2 failures in my case.
at 7:45PM:     He put me through "Telephone Line Department. BT operator (Vanshi) said I had to wait until BT is received the permission from council.. (I heard that BT have already obtain permission from Council!. BT told a lie to me.)
19th Sep (Thurs): BT(Sourajit) phoned me at 10:55AM. He said that someone would contact me around 1:30PM.

26th Sep (Thurs): BT (Shrlini) phoned me around 5:00PM that the condition was the same as before. BT hasn't obtaind permission for digging yet...
3rd Oct: BT(Sumshard) phoned me at 11:00AM that BT got permssion for digging (I can not trust what BT said any more)
and 15:35PM BT(Amir who care team) phoned me that someone would contact me next Monday....
4th Oct: BT(David) phoned me and he said that contractors didn't give BT any schedule. They said that it would be more than 5 weeks....
We have used a Japanese broadband (NOT BT Broadband). We used BT line with the Japanese broadband. Therefore, BT doesn't care my problem. We can not use internet more than 1 month... We had to use a pocket FiWi which I had to top up £25 for 7GB X 7 times so far..... (my children needs to connect internet for homework, download etc...)
I asked BT to use BT Wifi but I havn't used BT broadband. That is why they didn't support customer's care.
I am very very upset... I had to keep paying the pocket wifi until BT fix the line..
BT doesn't care the costomer's condition at all. Only care the customers who using BT products.
I am very much upset this service... However, I have to use BT line after fixing it.... very sad......

Creating a Chart with a Broken Axis

I was wondering if anyone had figured out if either this feature exists and is hidden, or if there is some elegant work around:
I'm a research scientist and would like to use numbers to chart my data. The problem is, oftentimes some data represents a significant outlier, or is some positive control that will always be much higher than the other conditions. Is there anyway to "break" the axis of a chart?
For example say I have values of 6, 13, 14 and 150. If I graph these, the 150 will far and away dominate the graph, and I'll lose an appreciation of the other values, even if there are significant differences. Is there a way to have the axis display from 0-20, then break and jump up to show 100-200? Its a very common practice, but most software tends to ignore it (the excel workaround is a huge pain).
Thanks.

Jerry, thanks for your response.
Graphing in log scale solves some problems, but is not always the best way to display my data w/o emphasizing the outliers and understating what is relevant. The log scale has its own place, but broken axes is pretty standard fare for the biomedical sciences.
When you mention overlaying graphs, do you mean the mixed graphs option? Its not a bad alternative, but having two Y axes is not always intuitive, and can be confusing. I've been resorting to simply cutting off the axis in such a way to emphasize the core data, and applying value labels so you can see where the outlier is - but, again its not really optimal.

Help - SVG Line Chart - ORA-20001 line_chart error Parse error ORA-00911

Gurus,
Need help.
I am trying to plat multiple series in a SVG line chart but am repeatedly getting line_chart error eventhough SQL queries work perfectly in sql workshop/sqlplus etc. How do I get past this error.
Sample queries I am using to plot line chart are
select link, col1, value from (select null link, col1, col2 value from xy);
select link, col1, value from (select null link, col1, col3 value from xy);
xy is a table with three number columns col1, col2 & col3.
Thanks in advance

Try taking the semicolon ";" off the end of the SELECT statements.

Web I line chart formatting

hi all, I am trying all my best for webI line chart formatting but I don't see much options, quick question is there any button or tool box for formatting WebI line chart except properties tab???
and my requirement is, usually when i turn table to line chart by default X-axis will be lower side and Y-axis will start from left end of X-axis and stand perpendicular to it. But what I need is X-axis should remain same but Y-axis should start from right end of x-axis.
In short and clear Point of intersection of X and Y axis is left end of x-axis but I need point of intersection should be right end of X-axis line. are there any formatting tips???

Hi,
Follow the below steps.
1) Create a dummy measure variable with name ' (Comma) and formula value is =0. (Variable name is ' because if you put any other name that will come in the Legend and its a dummy objects)
2)Select the bar and line graph and put the dummy variable in the Y axis and Y axis value in the Z axis.
3) After that no value will show in the Y axis and your Z axis value show the line graph.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Amit
