Lines and shading on stacked column chart
I have created a waterfall chart using a stacked column chart. I have made Series 1 white so that the bars appear to "float" . So far so good. the issue is that the white bars in the default setting have light shading and lines around the outsides. There seems ot be no way to turn that off. The only solution I found was to change the Theme to ITheme. Then the shading and lines go away and I can change the colours how I want them...but of course that theme is now applied to my whole dashboard and I lose all the nice shading effects on the other elements.
Surely all the themes do is apply formatting that must be possible to do manually...I just cant see any option on a stacked column chart to change the shading or lines round the boxes. I have an example chart I can share if required
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks
Tom
Creating a custom chart is not a simple thing (think days, not minutes), and not done within Xcelsius. The group of technologies to do this are referred to as the Xcelsius SDK, there is a dedicated forum on this site here: Flex SDK Development
Have fun!

Different sort order with line chart and stacked column chart
Hi,
I have a problem with sorting within flash charts.
The chart should be ordered by a date column.
If I'm using a line chart everything is fine. The columns in the chart are in the same order as returned by the query.
If I change the chart type to stacked column chart, I get a wrong order.
It is orderd like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4.
What's wrong?
Here the query i use:
SELECT NULL AS link,
TO_CHAR (zeitpunkt, 'dd.mm.yyyy'),
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06E', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06E",
MAX (DECODE (db_sid, 'TI06T', VALUE, NULL)) OVER (PARTITION BY zeitpunkt) AS "TI06T",

Anychart seems to have a problem with null values!
The corrupted sorting only occured for a specific set of search criteria and a specific day. At this day some values have been null.
I added a "nvl( [...], 0) for every value.
No I get a correct sort order. -
Stacked Column Chart with Lines
Requirement:
User stacked Column chart to display data for defects for 4 departments.
1 or 2 lines to show baseline for defects(constant).
Is there anyway that I can do that just like we can create one in Excel?
(stack a Stacked column chart with a line chart is not a solution.)
Any advises?
Thanks,
WenHi Wen,
I realise that you are not going to get this to work with a standard component on its own. I think it might be possible to acheive it with overlaying barcharts and combination charts.
My assumption is that you are looking for something that has a stack with 3 separate items in it. Two target lines crossing over the stacked chart.
I will have a look at this to see if I can come up with something. Let me know if this is not your requirement.
No, I don't work for SAP. I think those that do have the SAP logo beside them.

Stacked Column Chart with Line
Hi
I need to Create a Stacked Column Chart representing 1 set of measures with a Line representing a target.
I want to create a chart where the Sales Amount in different Sectors is represented as a stacked column and the targets are represenetd as a line.
Currently BO supports Bar charts with line.
Does anyone know if such a feature will be supported in the new release of BO XI. Also is it possible to raise a request for this feature to be included in the new release
TIAWe are also a 30 persons department (Marketing) using in the same BO charts (since 2001) quarters made of :
- first single column ( 2014 billing in a query1)
- second stacked column (2015 billing +2015 firm orders backlog, 2015 frame orders backlog in a query2)
- third single column (2016 backlog in a query3)
and a superposed budget line
the first and the third column are offset respectively to the left and right of the second column by blank and dummy single columns of data called ghost1 and ghost2. 2016 is still empty here but the principle is clear.
This principle is used liberally in 200 + different reports. Also with transparent columns and other complicated, but graphically intuitive reports.
How can we continue to use this very natural representation of our several hundred million $ business. I have not found the mixed single column, stack column and line option in BO XI 3.1 . Please re-develop one asap if necessary. SAP should please please report asap on the recovery timeline of this lost feature. The switch from Visual Basic development to Java development should not lead to regression of any feature.
Regards.

Stacked Column Chart (Total and Combination Chart)
Hi,
I tried to find the answer at old posting, but failed to find proper solution.
So here I go again with the same old problems:
1. Any method / trick to display total on top of each stacked column ?
(Label is not an option, since it is static and will not move following the height of the stacked bar).
2. Any method / trick to combine stacked column chart with line chart ?
(Overlay is not an option, because I think it is too tedious to play around with color and border)
Thanks for the bandwidth.
Regards.
NB: Are there any XCelcius add-on for those 2 functions ?Hi Yudie,
Can you get compromised in the following way ?
In the X Axis labels, you can get the values concatenated dynamically and displayed. Example given below:
2008 2009 2010
P180 P250 P280
A172 A263 A265
Whereas P denotes to Plan and A denodes Actuals. Above to this labels stacked colum wil be there as usual.
Consider and revert, in case you need any more clarification on this.
Keep posting.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

the same with the following description from another question:
"How can I display a total on top of each column on a stacked column chart (using
reporting services 2008)? If I use Data Labels I can display the
values for each part of the stack on a stacked column, but I want to be display the total.
For Example: If I have stacked column on chart with a value of 10 for the 1st stack, 20 for the 2nd stack,
and 20 again for the 3rd stack - I want to display 50 (the SUM total) as the data label on top of the entire column..."
and a solution for this would create a new column named SUM(category group), this can be done with data source from SQL server, but my data is from SharePoint site list. its query seems can't be changed which means I can't add a SUM column.
what should I do with this? Can anyone give me a hand?
thank you very much.Hi sophiexu,
If we want to display a total for each column on the top of a stacked chart, we can use a matrix control to display the column total value to work around this issue.
The following thread about how to simulate chart legend is for your reference:

Dsiplay data values and data lables in a stacked column chart
Hi All
Is there a way to display data values and data labels in a stacked column chart. Mouse over or display of labels in legends wont help. It has to be in the chart .
Regards,
anshulHi Anshul,
You can display either data value or data label in a stacked column chart by checking the Data Label Displaying Mode option under Format Chart->Data Values.
You can also do the same by checking the same option under Format chart->Area Display->Data Values.
I dont think you would be able to display both in a column chart whereas you would be able to do it in a pie chart.
Hope this helps.

Help - How do I Add a Trendline to a Stacked Column Chart??
I have a stacked column chart (NOT a 100% stacked column chart) and need to add a line to show the year goal. I can do this in Excel, but for some reason can't figure out how to do this in SSRS. I read various tutorials, blogs and MSDN pages
but nothing works. The weird thing is that they all say that I should right-click on the chart and there should be a DATA tab...on the chart properties. THERE IS NO DATA TAB, i'm here to tell you. I'm using SQL 2012 so not sure if that might make
a difference.
So how do I do this?
Again, this can be done in Excel, don't understand why this isn't easier to do in SSRS.
BTW, completely separate rant here, but it takes me 20 minutes every single time I want to log into MSDN forums. It never seems to remember my password and I have to reset it, then jump through a bunch of security nonsense. Anyone else have this
problem?
Thanks!!Hello,
If I understand correctly, you want to add a line chart to display the Goal values in the stacked column chart. You can try to add the secondary field to the Values area and change the chart type to "Line". Both data field in the Values area
shares the Category group and series group. Please refer to the following screen shot:
If I have any misunderstanding, please post your report dataset with sample data for further analysis.

Stacked Column Chart Data Labels Not Appearing
I am using SetSytle in Actionscript to make the data labels in a stacked column chart appear inside but it's not working.
A portion of the code I am using to create the chart is below:
//initialize column set for stacked columns
var colSet:ColumnSet = new ColumnSet();
colSet.type="stacked";
for each(var node:XML in _chartDP){
var k:int = 0;
//skip zero datapoints
if (parseInt(node.toString()) != 0) {
//if measure node does not exist, add as series
k = uniqueYCat(node.attribute("BillTo"));
if (k == -1){
// Create the new column series and set its properties.
var localSeries:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
localSeries.setStyle("labelPosition","inside");
localSeries.dataProvider = dataArray;
localSeries.yField = node.attribute("BillTo");
localSeries.xField = "ConfidenceStatus";
localSeries.displayName = node.attribute("BillTo");
localSeries.setStyle("showDataEffect", ChangeEffect);
// Back up the current series on the chart.
var currentSeries:Array = chart.series;
// Add the new series to the current Array of series.
currentSeries.push(localSeries);
//Add Array of series to columnset
colSet.series.push(localSeries);
//assign columnset to chart
chart.series = [colSet];
After some more research, I put a breakpoint inside ColumnChart.as in the following function:
mx_internal function getSeriesLabelPos(series:Series):void
if(series is ColumnSeries)
var columnSeries:ColumnSeries = ColumnSeries(series);
var position:String = columnSeries.labelPos;
if(position == "inside" || position == "outside" || position == "none")
_needLabels = true;
else if(series is ColumnSet)
var setSeries:Array /* of Series */ = ColumnSet(series).series;
for (var i:int = 0; i < setSeries.length; i++)
getSeriesLabelPos(setSeries[i]);
the following line: var position:String = columnSeries.labelPos;
returns postion as null. It looks like the setStyle is not passing the correct value to this function.
Any ideas as to what is going on?chart appearance is controlled by xml files located in
{cfroot}\charting\styles. the file for bar charts is
default.xml
you will want to:
1) copy thisfile to your site's root or some other folder
(i.e. same
folder that the page displaying your chart is in)
2) edit the file and change isHideOverlapped attribute of
labelStyle
property for xAxis to "false"
3) point the STYLE attribute of your cfchart tag to this new
file.

Help Creating Dynamic Stacked Column Chart with Multiple Criteria
Hi all. Im new here and hoping you can help. I have a dashboard Im trying to rebuild from scratch (our computer had a meltdown and we lost all our files). I did not build the dashboard initially so Im trying to recreate it from the flash file we were able to recover. I have come across a chart that I just cannot figure out how to do. I can figure out how to write an array in the Excel sheet that pulls the data into a table the way I need it to be but found out after I wrote that that Xcelcius doesn't support arrays so all my data disappears when I go into preview mode (which is especially frustrating since I can see the chart working fine in design mode). Anyway this is what the data table looks like
Month Year Company Positive # Negative # Neutral # Positive % Negative % Neutral %
October 2011 CompanyA 1234 1234 1234 10 10 10
October 2011 CompanyB 1234 1234 1234 10 10 10

The original chart was built so that you would choose the month from a combo box and then the company names would show up along the X axis with their % amounts shown in the stacked column. I know how to make a combo box work and I know how to make a stacked column chart work with static data. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work so that when you choose the month from the combo box it filters the data. I've tried filtered rows but I'm just missing some information that makes it work and I can't figure out what that information is. It has to be able to get the month/year combo from the combo box and then go to the table, filter it by month and year and then create a multi-row table of data with just the company and the percent values. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Which connection you are using?
IF quite difficult if you are working under static data. -

Stacked column chart from XML data source
I have an XML file, which lists elements with three
attributes: date, inactive-interval, user-count.
I need to build a stacked column chart with a single column
for each distinct date, one stack for each distinct
inactive-interval for that date, and the height of the stack equal
to the user-count.
I can define ColumnSeries with yField="user-count"
xField="date", but I don't know how to partition the column into
stacks by inactive-interval values.
Here is a sample data set:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<data>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="0"
user-count="3"/>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="7"
user-count="2"/>
<snapshot date="01/01/2007" inactive-interval="30"
user-count="4"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="0"
user-count="4"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="7"
user-count="2"/>
<snapshot date="01/02/2007" inactive-interval="30"
user-count="3"/>
</data>Your CategoryAxis id="ha_ccm" uses categoryField="period", and this is the label for the your series (i.e. "Quarter 4/2010"). You cannot have multiple categoryFields for the CategoryAxis; it can only use one data field for the labels. You can use data tips and/or label functions to show the individual series' values on the columns.
Also:
Your labelField in the ColumnSeries are set to a ColumnSet name instead of a field name in your dataprovider.
Font must be embedded if you set ColumnChart.showLabelVertically="true". -
How do you combine a stacked column chart with a clustered column chart
Hello,
I am trying to combine a stacked column chart with a clustered column chart. I know that in Excel there is a way to trick that described on the next site: http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme/ExcelTips/Columns.htm
Is that possible with BI Publisher?
Thank you very much!
Codruta CrisanFinally I get it myself:
You need to use graph type as BAR_VERT_STACK2Y and the declare the series that you want to see on the first Y vertical bar as assignedToY2="false" and the ones that you wanr to see on the second Y vertical bar as assignedToY2="true".
In my case I use 4 Series, 2 stack on the first clustured column and 2 stacked on the second (2Y) clustured colum....see below
graphType="BAR_VERT_STACK2Y">
<SeriesItems>
<Series id="0" assignedToY2="false" color="#BBD6E7"/>
<Series id="1" assignedToY2="false"/>
<Series id="2" assignedToY2="true" color="#004A96"/>
<Series id="3" assignedToY2="true"/>
</SeriesItems> -
Stacked Column Chart Value does not show in Preview or SWF
I have created a simple (one-column) stacked Column chart from an imported Excel 2007 spreadsheet. I am using 3 values and all three are there when I am editing the chart. When I do a Preview or Export it to a .swf file, the third value does not show up. It only shows the first two.
I am running Xcelsius 2008, Version 5.1.3.0, build 12,1,3,495.
Edited by: Rich Krejsa on Apr 9, 2009 9:35 PMHi Rich,
Try to rebind the data with the component and preview and see.
Also check with other charts to see if you get the same behaviour.
Try placing a table component and display those cell and see what values are there when you preview.
There could also be posiblities that the third values must be very small as compared to the other two,so check that as well and may be select the secodry scale in the general tab for the 3rd series.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Amit Mathur.
