Line Graph/Chart

Post Author: vmm
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi All,
Does anyone know how to make the 'Data Labels' in Line graph on the 'x axis' to be vertically align?
The thing is, on the x axis I have 'date with timestamp' labels e.g. "2007/08/30 20:19:45". When I
have large amount of data the labels overlap. I think one solution it make the labels to be vertically
aligned rather then horizontal.
But I can't seem to find an option to do this in Crystal 10.

I am using Crystal Report provided with Visual Studio .NET 2005.I have the same problem.Sometimes I can put x-axis label verticaly but changing some properties stop this feature.I have a lot of data and even if using "chart options->grid->Group Axis panel->labels panel->manual number of groups->between labels"=3 data the labels overlap. I cannot set between labels=10 because an error occured.
Any suggestion?
regards,Stefano

Note that each Branch_Desc has 12 periods called CURRPERIOD,CURPERSUB1,CURPERSUB2 ...... and 12 values for those periods as VALUECURRENTPERIOD, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB1, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB2......
I need to create a Line Graph for each Branch for the 12 periods as defined above where VALUECURRENTPERIOD, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB1 etc. are the values for that period. The current BIPublisher Chart tool only allows one Value and One Label. In my case I have 12 VALUES (VALUECURRENTPERIOD etc.) and 12 LABELS (CURRPERIOD, CURPERSUB1 etc.). The SERIES or LEGEND should be the Branch Desc . So what I am looking for is to plot values(12 values) for 6 branches (so six lines) over a period of time (12 periods).

Hi Tim,
We have this XML data calculated from several tables where the layout was in the format of One account(a Branch in this case) and 12 periodic values for the same . So reformatting the XML is not going to be easy as the source data is like this itself. I tried un-pivioting the table (as this one is already pivoted) but it looks like Oracle doesn't support this feature yet, but is suported in DB2 or SQL. Please take a look at this link
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/database/technology/archives/unpivot-query-12798?close=true
So I am stuck with the data in this format and users want a line graph for each branch over he period of time. May be somone on this forum can figure out how to un-pivot a table in Oracle. Thanks for your help in advance.

Change line graph color to red when negative?

I've got a line graph charting my budget. Anyone know if there is a way to have the line be red if it is negative, and the standard blue if it is in the positive?
I didn't see any sort of option when I briefly looked around Numbers - but I thought I'd ask.

I believe your thinking about the "color red if negative" type thing you can do in cell formatting. I couldn't find a way of doing any kind of conditional formatting in charts. I had to use a rule to do it in cell formatting.
If someone else knows a way, I hope they will tell us. I can't find it.

How to draw cumulative line graph over the stacked bar chart?(SSRS)

Hello,
I need your help to draw a cumulative line graph over this bar chart.
I need your help to draw a cumulative line graph over this bar chart in SSRS.
The dimension (Category Group) is "Hour" in this case. and expression is sum of two distinct values like 'Y' and 'N' in Activity column(Series Groups). The sum(Activity=Y) in green color and sum(Activity='N') in Red color.
I require to draw a cumulative line graph in this same chart, that should give the result of cumulative Sum(Activity) for each hour?? I mean sum of (Y+N) for each hour and that should be cumulative over the hour.
I mean sum of (Y+N) for each hour and that should be cumulative over the hour.

CR 9 - Need HELP Setting Line Graph colors in the Chart Expert

Post Author: desselle
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello,
I created a Crystal Report (CR) based off an existing Trend Analysis report. I have created a VB6 application that calls the .RPT file I created for the report in CR. The VB6 app sets the report recordset via code that corresponds to the .TTX file, and the parameters . The report contains a Line graph that plots five pieces of data. The report & graph work good. The Problem: CR determines the color of each line on the graph. However, I need to set the color for each line to correspond to the colors used on our existing reports. The users are accustom to a certain color representing a certain set of data on the existing reports.   I have tried everything I can think of and from all documentation I can find, and nothing changes the line colors.   I have tried all of the following:
1.) From the Chart Expert, Option tab, I click the Format button next to Color and setup conditional color settings per each piece of data.   However, when I run the report these conditional color settings are not reflected on the CR graph.     I am using formula fields (based off database fields in the recordset) to produce the report. However, I only see the database fields to use in the conditional color formatting screen and not the formula fields.    I thought this would possibly be the cause why the colors wonu2019t change on the CR, but I canu2019t find a way to make the formula fields show up in the list.
2.)Also, I tried right clicking the individual lines of the graph and change the selected item color, but this didnu2019t change the color either. I do this in Design mode and Preview mode and neither one changes the color of the lines on the graph.
3.)I have also looked into the CR object model to see if I can change the line colors of the graph via code and it doesn't look like I am given this flexibility.
Do you know what I am doing wrong here?   I just want to be able to set the color of each line on the CR graph to the color I want instead of using the default colors. Are there some Hot Fixes that I need to apply to my copy of CR?
Thanks

Hello,
I got the problem fixed w/ the line graph not making the data lines the same color on the report as on the frmPlot graph.   Compare the two screen shots below.   The problem was as follows: When I created the graph (in the Chart Expert) the field u201CReadingDateu201D was not one of the Report Fields, and all the other fields were Report Fields (Reading, LowAlarm, UpperAlarm, LowerLimit, & UpperLimit). See the 3rd screen shot below. ReadingDate does show up as a Report Field now but it wasnu2019t at first.   Originally, this field was only available in the Chart Expert as a recordset field. When I changed this field to be a Report Field, the graph then allowed me to change the data series line colors.   This was not obvious at all.   From the beginning when I setup the graph and passed in the recordset from VB it graphed all of the data series fine.   The colors that the Chart Expert chose for each line just didnu2019t match what was on the frmPlot graph.   Anyway, it is working now.     I can at least say I learned (somethingu2019s to-do and somethingu2019s not to-do) a good bit about Crystal Reports in the process.
Thanks

Chart Web Part to not plot zeros on a line graph

Hi all,
Is it possible to not plot zeros on a line graph?
I have a line chart with days of the current month along the x-axis and a value on the y-axis. I have a series representing a forecast as a line that will show what the values along for the whole month should be and a second
line chart series representing the actual. This tells the reader how the actual is tracking against the forecast. The data is based on an excel table.
Currently when the latest value is set the line skews back to 0. I don't want this shown, I just want it left blank. On excel you can change the zeros to na() and the line graph will not plot, however, if I leave them as na() in the source data, the whole
column wont be imported in the chart wizard.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

It's true -- the RangeBar chart type only has two field options (X and Y) while the RangeColumn correctly has an addtional Y field. The RangeBar chart should obviously have two X fields if it's supposed to plot a range, as the name and example image indicate.
Neither this thread or the one linked has led to an answer. Can this be fixed?

Hi,
Your query needs to return data in this format:

null    01-JAN-10    5        6
null    01-FEB-10    3        6
null    01-MAR-10    2        5where 'value1' column will be the first series, 'value2' column will be the second series, etc.
So you SQL query will need to be something like:
select
null link,
created_month label,
sum(value1) value1,
sum(value2) value2
from table
group by
created_monthAmanda

Interactive Bar/pie chart and line graph, data from excel/text file -urgent

Hi,
I have a huge data in excell sheet which keeps updating every month. Data basically consists of service provider and there respective subscribers from various regions of the country over the years. The requirement is to give the viewers an interactive page where in they can make various combinations and can compare, cross examine data according to thier choice.
We want the pie chart / bar graph or line graph to be created on the fly according to the combination made by the user.
The site is hosted on a red hat linux server. how can a connection to the excel spreadsheet be made or is it possible to read from the text file if the entire data is exported to a text file.
Is there any ready made tool/code available which can be customised according to the need.
Thanx in advance
Regards
Prakash

I certainly wouldn't pay for the graphing package at the previous link. check out http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreechart/ for a free, open-source, much better looking graphing package.

Stacked Bar chart and Line graphs

I have a report in Crystal which has stacked bar chart and a line graph together in one report.
Is it possible to do the same thing in WebI . Can anybody share the experience.

Today you can only have a simple bar (not stacked) and line chart in Web Intelligence. We are looking to improve charts in the future. In the meantime you can look into the masher from the labs...

OBIEE Area Chart with Line Graph

Can you create an Area and Line Graph together in one chart with OBIEE (rather than with the bar graph and line chart combo)??

Did you mean a Trendline? If that is the case, right click on any of the areas in the area chart and select Trendlines from the context menu.

SVG Multi Graph/Chart with line and bar

I have a request for a "Multi-Graph-Chart"
showing both - line chart and
- bar-chart with respective data.
Can you provide for the sourcecode, which is behind the SVG chart wizard enabling us to develop an own/individual SVG chart ?
pls kindly advise.
Bernhard
nb. I mailed u this request already - but thought this might be of interest to others as well.

I would support this addition to functionality. I currently have a client who has a requirement for complex charting in HTMLDB, and I am looking at the SVG packages in HTMLDB, ie: WWV_FLOW_SVG, but as you say they are not independent APIs and rely heaviliy on the application's metadata. This is a shame as I could quite easily handle a nice PL/SQL API that would let me create custom SVG, instead of generating the SVG manually and embedding that in the page.

How to combine a stacked bar chart and a line graph together in one report

I have a report in excel that has stacked bar chart and a line graph together in one report. I am trying to recreate the same in Webi, Is this possible? Did any one have similar requirement, could you please share the thoughts?
Thanks,
Hema

May be I don't understand correctly...
But if its really to separate chart area's;
just copy the datablock and format one as line and the other as barchart...
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Help please, I need a line graph from a chart with existing data.

I am trying to put together a form for tracking my weaight loss. I have decided on a format that I like, but I can't figure out how to create a line graph to represent the chart that collects the data. The graph will need to begin with the "start weight" and track all chages throught the 42 cells until the final "net loss."
Does anyone know how to set this up as a line graph? Your help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Skipping ahead and assuming I picked the correct direction then i have a possible solution:
You need to get the weight loss numbers into a single column. If the table of 42 cells is called Table 1 and the table with the start weight is Table 2 and we call our new table Table 5:
Cell B2 of Table 5 = Table 2::A2
Cell B3 of Table 5 =B2+OFFSET(Table 1 :: $B$2,MOD(ROW()-3,7),QUOTIENT(ROW()-3,7))
Fill down with that formula

Transparency fill in line graph data points does not copy over to Pages

I have created some line graphs in Numbers, and they look beautiful. Since some of my data overlap and I want users to be able to easily see where all data is on the graph, I have made the data points transparent on the foremost line. This allows the other line (which data points are filled in with another color) visible "through" the foremost line.
However, when I attempt to copy the graphs into Pages, the data points of the foremost line are no longer transparent - they are filled with white. Obviously, this defeats the entire purpose of using a transparency fill!
What can I do to make this work?
Thank you,
G. Pasarescu

Hi Yvan,
Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, I need to embed several of these charts into the Pages document, and cannot use Numbers instead of Pages for the document.
Interestingly, if I copy the chart from Numbers and paste it into some graphics programs (like Pixen and Pixelator), the transparency is preserved. However, pasting the same copy into other graphics programs (such as Seashore or Photoshop) somehow flattens the image, removing the transparency, and I'm back to square one.
Using a graphics program as the bridge between Numbers and Pages reduces the quality of the chart - that's why I'd like to try to make this work in Numbers / Pages.
Thanks,
Geoff
