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..

  • Some photos are not sorted correctly by date

    I just imported some photos from my friends camera who were on the same trip. However, I noticed that a couple (not all) of his photos are not sorted correctly by date in the Event. A photo from day 3 somehow comes before the photos from day 2. I checked the extended information and the dates on the photo are correct. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution? Thanks.

    It might be of some help to delete the photo cache. Please see this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Smart playlist not sorted correctly on ipod

    I have a smart playlist in my iTunes 10.0, which contains all podcasts (with play count 0), sorted by release date.
    Unfortunately, this playlist is NOT sorted correctly on my ipod (nano, 5th generation). After syncing with itunes, the ipod playlist has some apparently random order (not by release date, not even by name, artist or anything, it really seems random).
    It's strange that, if I click on my ipod under "DEVICES" in itunes and click the playlist there, the correct order is shown (by release date). But again, on the ipod it is actually not sorted.
    Message was edited by: powerbookuser99

    I have a smart playlist for my podcast's and I normally sort them by the date added (oldest to newest) or by release date. No mater what I do now they only show up on my iPhone in date added order newest to oldest and I am unable to re-order them. I have a number of other playlists that work fine it is just this one smart playlist that is acting up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Synced photos from iTunes not sorted correctly

    I have around 300 pics that I took with my iphone that I moved to a local folder on PC.
    I want to put those pics back on the iphone to use in a timelapse video.
    I enabled Photo sync on itunes and chose that folder, and synced.
    All synced OK, but these pics are not sorted correctly on the iphone.
    The file names on the PC are exactly as iphone assigned them when taken, and according to date taken.
    It is very important that they are sorted in ascending file name; any ideas how I can correct the sorting?
    Thanks.

    For those in this discussion concerned with the "Sort" order, the criteria is in the "metadata" date that changes when you adjust the photos.
    The directions below apply to Lightroom
    To keep the order you created you must make an adjustment to "ALL" photos at the same time such as increasing the contrast by (1) point.
    First select and change the contrast in the first photo in your collection, then select the remaining photos, click "Sync" The "Metatdata" date will change on all photos selected and will then import in the prper order.
    I should mention that I have renamed all photos so they have a name that is sequential but I don't know if that matters

  • ATV2 not sorting correctly

    Has anyone else noticed their ATV2 does not sort TV Shows correctly? Here are a couple of examples -
    The Colbert Report is under "T" - AppleTV1 listed it under "C" as it should be
    Multiple seasons of of shows are showing up separately. So instead of having a 30ROCK listing in the root list, then clicking that to get to Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 options, I have multiple 30ROCK listings at the root list.
    Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
    Or is ATV2 not sorting correctly?

    Or is ATV2 not sorting correctly?
    It's doing it differently.
    Biggest annoyance for many is that TV Shows now have an entry for each Season rather than Seaons being listed under the main show name.
    Also metadata tags used to group related films eg Star Wars, Superman etc, in a common folder no longer works.

    Video playlists don't work properly either.

  • CR in VS2005: Line Chart Date Axis

    I believe this is posted in correct place:
    I have line chart that is displaying daily data.  I want to display a month worth of data with each day's data point plotted. 
    The X axis is a system.datetime of the day for the data (actually group label); I have formatted this to mm/dd/yyyy in the format editor. My graph X axis labels are overwritting each other and I can not see how to 'scale' x axis labels to prevent this.
    In reviewing similar existing posts I see reference to options that do not appear to be available in Net VS2005 (recently updated CR and VS).
    Is this limitation of VS version of CR or am I doing something wrong ?
    Thank You, fd

    Thank You for your reply.  I belive that I may still be limited by version in visual studio 2005 (CR updated to 10.2.3600). 
    When I right click on any object in graph I am presented with list 'Format Object' (border of chart, keep object togeather, etc), 'Chart Expert' (very limited selections: show grid, title text, etc) and 'Chart Options' (again very limited selections: Template,General,Titles,Grid). In the grid section chart options there is indeed a "data axis", "numbers" formatting section that allows for formatting as date but not any alignment etc.
    I am not adverse to purchasing an added CR designer but would like to clearly understand advantages.  It is also of concern that this "date" x axis should be treated as an x-y plot rather than the dates being used simply as labels.

  • Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

    Hi Guys,
         In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted.  Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
    In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
         And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
         Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

    I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series.  The solution is at this link:

  • Line Charts - X-axis Labels as function of X-axis value

    Hi,
    1) Is there a way to put X-Axis labels in line chart as function of X-axis values ?
    For instance, X-axis values are in minutes and I need to show those as Hours.
    I'm having Hours as separate column as well, but when its selected as X-axis value column, the line graph is disturbed.
    2) Also, how to specify the length/range of X-axis ?
    For instance, in dataset if I've x-axis values from 0 to 5 hours but still want to show on graph the X-axis till 8 hours.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Sumit

    Hi Sumit,
    I have tried following things with proper datetime format may be help you.
    1> in your applet code you can add below param
    <PARAM NAME="XAxisDateFormat" VALUE="H">
    it will display your levels in hours for more details please refer Date and Time Format under query template in MII help.
    2>In your Query template under date range you can select duration and duration unit.
    for 8 hour span you can select Duration = 8 and in duration unit = H
    I have tested it for a tag query, may be i did not understand your issue properly but hope it helps you!!!

  • Line chart x-axis label overloaded with labels

    Hi,
    I have a Line chart filled by a large resultset (hundreds of rows). Each row contains a decimal value and a timestamp. The interval between timestamps is short so it is impossible to plot every single date/time in the x-axis label because there is no space.
    I would like to hide the the x-axis label for most rows and plot this label for each x rows. Something like this:
      18/12/2009 09:00            18/12/2009 10:00           18/12/2009 11:00            18/12/2009 12:00
            |---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
    In the previous x-axis example there are many timestamps between 18/12/2009 09:00 and 18/12/2009 10:00 but they are not plotted in the chart. It is possible to do something like this in MII charts?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I think Michael is right about the Ticks per label parameter. Looks like it is not working for me because the chart data binding is not behaving as expected.
    The chart rowset is composed by two fields: decimal and date time. The date time field is already converted to string. The rowset comes from a BLS transaction.
    I think this forum has no support for file upload so I will add links to the xMII workbench screenshots so you guys can see my chart/query configuration.

    When I run the chart I get this result: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart1.PNG
    As you can see the chart has no X-Axis labels ans I need to add the date/time to the X-axis. If I add the field to "X-Axis label columns" the field values are ploted but the parameter "Ticks per label" is ignored and hundreds of labels are ploted together and is impossible to read them. I think the "Ticks per label" parameter only works for fields added to Labels columns (in data mapping). The problem I am facing is: when I add the date field (http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/data_mapping2.PNG) to Label columns I get an empty chart like this: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart2.PNG

  • XML Publisher CHARTS: mulit-dimensions not plotted correctly

    Hi,
    We're currently assessing the suitability of XMP Publisher and one of the deciding factors is to create a bar chart from an SQL query that retrieves multiple portfolios over a time-frame. For example, three portfolios are selected over a time period like 3 years (but there does not have to be a performance for every month) and their performance is plotted against each month (i.e. 0 - 3 Columns depending if a result exists per month). In the desktop publisher we struggled but managed to change the Graphics code until it could dynamically show the correct legend and the data rows, but alas the data points do not correspond correctly with the X-axis. It seems that when the rows are grouped each value is plotted against each column regardless of the tagged value used for the X-axis.
    Let me try and put it this way, the first month had only 1 portfolio and the next month had all three, but on the graph the first month shows three columns, the records have slipped.
    The code that we used was adapted from a forum entry by Klaus Fabian- "Re: Stacked Bar Chart
    " (Servus Klaus;-)), but we need to find out how to adapt the code so that it plots the data correctly against the X-axis values.
    Help!!!!
    Cheers,
    Robin.
    Here's the code we used
    chart:
    <Graph>
    <Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
    <LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'TODATE'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'CODE'))}">
    <RowLabels>
    <xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
    <Label><xsl:value-of select="./CODE"/></Label>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
    </RowLabels>
    <ColLabels>
    <xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="TODATE">
    <Label><xsl:value-of select="./TODATE"/></Label>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
    </ColLabels>
    <DataValues>
    <xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
    <RowData>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="TODATE">
    <Cell><xsl:value-of select="./PERFORMANCE"/></Cell>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
    </RowData>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
    </DataValues>
    </LocalGridData>
    </Graph>

    Hi,
    I have finally found solution to this issue....
    Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
    1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
    2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
    Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
    With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
    Cheers!! :-)

  • Outlook Contacts do not sort correctly under iCloud

    I have recently started mucking around with iCloud (after the unfortunate discontinuation of MobileMe...).
    I use MS Outlook 2007 on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit) for my Contacts, Calendar & Tasks.  Untill recently, I was syncing my Outlook Contacts & Calendar with my iPhone (latest iOS) via iTunes.  All was working fine.
    A couple of days ago, I installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and gave it a go to see what will happen to my Outlook setup.  I enabled just the Contacts in order not to stray out too far...
    Once done, iCloud took all the contacts from my personal folder in Outlook and moved them to a new iCloud folder.  So now, I have two different Contact folder, the iCloud dedicated one (which is fully populated) and the other one is the one previously used (which is stored in my local .pst file and now empty).
    All syncing to the iCloud seems to be working OK - I checked my contacts from the www.icloud.com and they are all there.
    The problem I have is withing the new iCloud Contact folder that was created in my Outlook installation.  It does not sort my Contacts correctly
    I have contacts written both in English and in Greek, depending on where they reside.  It seems to get mixed up because of this and mixes up the Greek contacts inbetween the English ones, in a manner that I cannot justify.
    Previously when I had all the Contacts in my local .pst file, it was showing the English ones first and then all the Greek ones, both sorted 100% correctly (by the way, this is how it looks as well in my iPhone).  I have also enabled an option in Outlook settings which allows me to create a second index for the Contacts in Greek - this creates a second Greek alphabet next to the already existing English one on the right of the Contacts view.  None of that seems to have an effect in the case of the iCloud Contacts folder in Outlook, which doesn't sort as it should.
    Has anyone come across this issue and is able to offer some assistance?
    Regards.

    No none, the contacts just do not sort in alphabetical order they should be in. For example I added a name that started with an S but it would not go under the S category of names but rather it would create a new S group at the top of the contact list before the contacts starting in A. The OLD list of names starting with S is still existing and in the right alphabetical order but the new contact would not save under that group but rather as I said in a new group starting with S at the top of the contact list.

  • Address book does not sort correctly

    I have not been able to get the address book to sort correctly. If I go Preferences/General/Sort by Last Name, it only sorts about half. I discovered that the ones that don't get sorted are ones that have had the "Swap first/last name" function applied to them. This appears to be only cosmetic. How do you make the first/last switch permanent?
    I thought that exporting them out and then importing would get around that but when exporting from Address Book it also ignores any first/last switches you may have done.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. -Derryl
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Bneely, thanks for the reply. It still doesn't solve the problem though. If what you are saying is the case then the switch should be an option in Mail, not the address book.
    Example: Our office in Switzerland sends us their addresses via Vcard. Most of Europe (like Japan) displays their cards reversed from ours. I get hundreds of addresses that don't sort correctly unless I manually retype them in their address cards. That is a waste of time (and certainly a waste of a G5). In addition to the temporary switch there needs to be a "Permanent Switch" button. Or at least a more intelligent sort function. Thanks. -dr

  • TV shows from iTunes are not sorted correctly on iPod

    I bought episodes of a TV show from the iTunes store and all of a sudden nothing is sorted correctly anymore. They're completely fine on iTunes but on my iPod Classic (it's the newest one, 160 GB) it just doesn't seem to want to work. I've tried restoring it a few times but so far, no change. And I've checked all the tags and everything so it shouldn't be wrong but I'm thinking the issue is with my iPod, not iTunes.

    I had the same issue with this. what I did to fix it was select the shows in the TV playlist, then apple - i to get info, click on the video tab, select "TV Show" from the "video kind:" pull down menu.
    Resync the touch. You should see the files in the video playlist on the Touch. I'm not sure why they let you sync tv shows if they don't appear on the Touch. In any case, the above work around should work for you.
    Good luck.

  • Pix on touch not sorted correctly after upgrade.

    Hi, my pix were sorted by Name in iPhoto'08, iTunes (10) and iPod touch 3g (iOS4).
    After upgrading my touch to 4.2.1 last week, they are scrambled on the iPod touch. I created another Event with some pix, which was appended at the bottom. I presume the Events are sorted by date rather than name. I cannot get them back into sort order by Name. They are still sorted correctly in iPhoto and iTunes - not on the iPod. I am stumped. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the hints.  I took out the databind() and it still throws the same error. 
    Also, I tried adding
    crReportDocument.SetParameterValue("pi_letters", "LETTERXXX")
    just before setting ReportSource and I get the following error:
    Failed to open the connection
    This confirms to me that the push method is not being used by the application/report since the report is still trying to open a connection with the database and is throwing this error when the logon credentials are not supplied.
    Can someone tell me why the push method is not working here?  I have a valid dataset, so my thinking is that I shouldn't have to go through the trouble of supplying parameters and logon credentials to the report.

  • Numbers Not sorting correctly?

    I am trying to sort on a field that has both alpha and numeric characters.
    ergo: I expected a sort to give me
    1a
    1b
    1c
    1d
    1e
    1f
    1h

    1d
    1a
    1b
    1c
    1e
    1f
    1i
    2a
    Justifying the field left or right makes no difference
    if I insert a hyphen between as in 1-a 1-b etc it sorts as expected.
    I also tried inserting a decimal between instead of the hyphen ergo 1.a etc but  when I did that as in (1.h) Numbers (automagically) removed the decimal (same with 1.d)
    Any ideas?  Bug? (An Inverse Semi Hex Sort With Left hand English?)

    Hi C,
    Interesting spelling of your username. I'd always associated this type with dogs, not with hearts.
    I think you may have discovered a bug (or perhaps more accurately  generously, an artifact—an overlooked effect of automation).
    On copying your (sorted) list, pasting it in (column B), randomizing it, then resorting in ascending order, I got the same results you did.
    When I typed a copy of the list into column A and sorted it, I got the same results again.
    Column C is a list of random numbers, generated by formula, and offering a column on wdich to randomize the sort of the table.
    Columns D and E contain the formulas below, which pick off the first and last characters of the pair in column B, then rejoin them, in one case placing a period/full stop/decimal point between them, in the other, simply concatenating them into a two character text string.
    Sorting on either of columns D and E produced the expected sort:
    A light was beginning to glow. Entered directly, or by copy/paste, into an unformatted column, the items sorted 'incorrectly'. Reformed into text strings, with or without a constant intervening character, they sorted as expected.
    One further test: Column F was added, preformatted as Text, and the values entered into it. The table was randomized (sorted on column C), the re sorted on column F, with the expected ('correct') results.
    One more check. I selected column B, where the original list had been pasted, and set the formatting to Automatic:
    AHA!
    Text is automatically aligned to the left side of cells. The two misbehaving items were not being interpreted as text, but as a numeric or quasi numeric value.
    Numbers sees both of these as duration values—1d = one day, 1h = one hour.
    Sorted in ascending order, one hour is less than, and comes before one day, and all numerical and quasi numerical values come before alphabetical (text) values.
    Numbers is sorting the list correctly, using its interpretation of each value. To make it sort correctly in our view, you'll need to force numbers to see those values as text, most easily done by formatting the column as text before typing or before pasting, using Paste and Match Format, in the Edit menu.
    Thanks for that question; it was an interesting one.
    Regards,
    Barry
