Losing axis settings on line chart when saving as excel

Hi,
When I go to save a file as excel, I seem to lose all my axis settings on the line charts. I have auto scale turned on and it's scaled properly, then when it goes into excel it defaults out to 0-120% on the Y axis. Any way to avoid?

Hi,
Source : SAP note 1367058 - Chart scale not kept when saving a WebIntelligence report to Excel
Cause
This behaviour is by design
There are 2 types of scales in a chart, auto scale and manual scale. By default in all chart the Y axis is an auto scale, And in case of auto scale in business objects the max and min values are calculated by the report engine based on the size of chart, the number of values of variables on that axis etc.
When saving the same report in excel, in case of auto scale we can not store the max and min values of Graph from reporter, and Excel will decide it max and min values by its own based on several factors like resolution of the graph, the number of vairable present, the layout etcu2026 We could not decide the max and min values of a graph in excel in case of auto scale.
Resolution
   1. Edit WebIntelligence report
   2. Select the chart
   3. Go to Properties tab
   4. Expand Y axis parameter
   5. Select "scale"
6. Manually insert the max value
Thanks,
Amit

CR Enterprise - Custom y-axis labels for line chart

Hi
I have data with a discrete status (STATUS-1...STATUS-5) per day, like
Feb 1: STATUS-1
Feb 2: STATUS-2
Feb 3: STATUS-2
Feb 4: STATUS-1
Feb 30: STATUS-4
Feb 31: STATUS-1
This series I'd like to render in a date axis line chart with the daily status ordinals (1-5) on the y-axis.
Now I wonder how I can label the y-axis ticks with the respective STATUS text instead of the ordinal.
Unfortunately, the option "Total (Y) Axis/Axis/AxisLabels/Display Label" is disabled due to the value's numeric nature.
How can I manually overwrite y-axis labels or map them to custom text?
Thanks. Jens

HI Jens,
Have you tried creating a formula and using that in 'Show Values' section of the chart?
Formula:
"STATUS-" & {Numeric_field}

How do I change legends in line charts when you change line type

I have created a line chart with two lines. I only have a black and white printer. If I change the two lines to black, the legends change to match. To distinquish the two lines I change the line type making one dots and the other dashes. The lines change but the lengends don't. This makes the graph useless.
Any suggestions on how to get the lines in the legends to change to match the lines in the graph?
Thanks for any help.
Paul

I could not get the line legends to differ either. You can add a marker to only 1 of the plots though:

Y-axis Does not show values when exported to excel

Hi,
We are facing trouble while showing Y-axis values when report is exported to excel. On report Y-axis is shown properly however when we export it to excel only 1 value is shown with arrow mark(=>).
If we will right click Y axis, we can see all data exported in "Select Data". If we select Y-axis, and change axis properties to automatic, we can see Y-axis values on excel.
Now, is there any property setting which will show all the data on Y-axis instead of showing up single value with arrow?

Thanks for your reply. I tried it closing all sheets and exporting, however result doesn't change. There is an aggregate table we are querying to which holds almost 20k records. Right now I have observed this with 3 reports. In one of the report I am using Horizontal chart. In that report there is issue with X-axis.
e.g.
Band
1000<= |
             |
             |________________________________
              A                     B                  C                D

Could anyone help on this?

Disabling gridlines when saved to excel from WEBI

when a report is saved to excel format from WEBI(Business Objects 6.5).
Is it possbile to disable the gridlines in excel ? I

Gangise,
Is it possbile to disable the gridlines in excel ? I
Are you meaning to have the gridlines not appear at all, or to turn them off once you open the worksheet in Excel? To turn off gridlines once you've opened it in Excel, you can click on the "master cell" (this is the cell above and to the left of A1), then right-click and choose "format cells", then at the format cells menu choose "Border", then choose preset "none", click ok, and voila, all borders are removed...
Thanks,

Internal Software Error: .\AVTreeNode.cpp, line 25 when saving a project

Hello,
I am trying to work with Encore DVD 2.0 on Windows XP professional (SP 2). Until now with every project I try to make I see new error messages, and my whole work consists of trying to find work arounds.
My actual project consists of five slide shows. They are all between 1 and 2,5 minutes. Except for one, that only consists of a black screen shown for 5 seconds.
I have a playlist that contains all slide shows. Between two of the longer slide shows I inserted the 5 second black screen. What I wanted to achieve with this technique is that I can easily change the "gap" between two slide shows by changing the duration of the black screen slide show once. Alternatively I could have added a black image as the last slide two each of the four slide shows, but then I would have to change the duration of that slide four times when I want to change the gap between the slide shows.
Anyway, I finally tried to create the project which resulted in the CVOBUPlanner.cpp error in line 331.
So I wanted to track down the problem by
- deleting some of the slide shows
- saving the project under another name
- trying to create that project
So first I deleted everything but the first slide show from the playlist. then I deleted all the slide shows but not the first one (and the 5 second black screen though I didn't use it here), from the project. Saved the project under another name and created it without an error.
Then I opened the original project again. Now I deleted everything but the first slide show and the 5 second black screen slide show. Again I deleted the slide shows, but not he first and the 5 second black screen.
I tried to save the project under another name, but now I received an internal software error: .\AVTreeNode.cpp, line 25.
After I restarted the application I was able to open the original movie, delete the slide shows and save the project under another name.
I still wanted to let you now because this is an error message that I have not seen before and didn't find here in this forum.
Regards,
Christian Kirchhoff

There are a couple of other threads about a similar error which seem to point to a possible chapter playlist problem:

ESS CATS timesheet - template lines repeat when saving

Hi experts,
We have implemented CATS on SAP Portal and when you have a time entry template, and you save your time entries, the saved time is "pushed" down the timesheet by blank template lines. This happens only on the web Dynpro version (ECC does not happen) of the timesheet. If there is no template defined, everything works fine.
Is this a know bug? I am on the verge of raising a message with SAP, but was hoping someone here would have the solution.
Best Regards,
AS

you are on which release we have notes 1112545
and 1017728 1143980
also ensure that attributes like absence attendance type which are displayed should be set as input in CAC2
ie
Please ensure that all fields in CATS screen are set as input
If you record an extra attribute than
the one already saved with the Template, You are bound to get an
Line Split. Please check if your user exit is defaulting any
extra attribute or you are adding it during the recording
of time or being defaulted using 0315 infotype
Line split occurs when the Employee records time to
a different attribute ie already available in the Template
for him
An example
You need to ensure that the attributes are not changed
ie new values defaulted using the exit, which are doing
Example
Your template has values : A B
Your exit defaults : A B C >>> C added extra, line split!
So ensure A B C are already saved as template. Makes sure your
end users or the exit is not adding extra attribute to the recording
time
This is what i am trying to explain if this is possible.

Change in cell format when saving to excel

I'm a new Business Objects user. Since my upgrade to Office 2007, every time I save my report in excel one of the columns containing numbers that are displayed as text (ie 002895, 295512, etc) in desktop intelligence are being displayed as numbers with commas and 2 decimal places in excel and I am losing the zeros at the beginning of the numbers. I have tried formatting the rows in desktop intelligence under the formatting tab as standard, custom, numbers, etc but the formatting of the cells still results in the numbers with commas and decimal places. Can anyone help?

Hello,
as you refer to Deski I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence|SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Desktop Intelligence documents such as universe connectivity, prompts, charting, formatting, filter, and formulas.It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Desktop Intelligence queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

New line duplicated when import from Excel

An SQL server (2014) field of type nvarchar(MAX) is populated directly by pasting data copied from Excel.
In corresponding Excel cell there are several "\r\n" (CR/LF), but after pasting it seems like each "\r\n" is duplicated. How to paste and get the same number of "\r\n" as the originating cell value ?

Thanks and I must admit that my description of import above was wrong:
The description above stated "...populated directly by pasting data copied from Excel..."
Actually I used SSIS import (by starting the wizard from Management Studio: Right click Database and choosing Tasks/Import Data... which starts DTSWizard.
So the problem was actually showing up when using SSIS import...
On the other hand, when directly pasting the same data (by using something like Management Studio, right click Table and choosing "Edit Top 200 rows"), only the first line (the text before the first "\r\n") is kept and prepended by a
double quotation mark (") which is a loss of data and of course an even bigger issue.
And silly me, my statement was wrong again (and all the time).
I was fooled by C# (theStringFromDatabase.Split("\r\n".ToCharArray());) actually returned with the empty strings (lines) between the "real" lines, don't understand why though.

Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe

I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.
Why does this question asked for exe?
PFA my write excel VI
Thanks in advance.

Hi Princess_swa,
The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
Hope this helps,
Lou
