Mixed chart formats

I have a table with three columns of data. I'd like to create a chart with two data columns stacked bars with the third data set as a line on top of the stacked bars. I've been unable to format the stacked bars. In the series inspector, I only see bars, lines and area.
Is this possible?

I think you're right in concluding that Stacked Bars is not an option in a Mixed Chart. You would have to go back to the earlier workaround for combining chart types which is to create separate charts, set the fill to None for the chart you want on top, and then overlay them.

Premier Elements 7 - confusion over mixing video formats

Hi
I have been using a DV camcorder (SD quality) for some time, originally recording in 4:3 format, and more recently in 16:9 format (as we bought a wide screen telly).
I have just treated myself to a new AVCHD Panasonic video recorder recording High Definition footage in 1080 16:9 PAL format onto an SD memory card.
I wanted to take all this footage and put it on my computer to edit it together and start making some films to keep for the future - on DVD for now, and at some point on Blue Ray. To this end I have just purchased Adobe Premier Element 7.0, with Photoshop Elements 7.0 bundled together.
My confusion is that it appears I can only use one format in a "project" as I need to define the parameters for the "project" in terms of SD vs HD and 4:3 vs 16:9. I was hoping to be able to store all of my footage of various quality definitions and screen ratils into a "library" (which I see is called "Organiser" in Adobe terms) on the hard disk, and then pick and choose from the "library" what to put into each "film project" as I make them, mixing formats as I wish. I realise that in this way, the output would itself switch from 3:4 to 16:9 etc on accasions as I switch scene to use a different format, and so may not appear to be the smoothest edit.... but I thought that would be my decision to do if I wanted it. Instead it appears I cannot mix a few minutes if 4:3 SD footage of my son as a baby, with more recent 16:9 1080 HD footage of him as a boy - which is a real shame as it is what I wanted to do....
Have I misunderstood, or am I right in thinking I am limited in this way?
Why can I mix still photos of any format with video , but not mix different formats of PAL video?
Many thanks

Thanks Paul
I have been having go, as you suggest, and as you said, I cannot edit my AVCHD footage in Scene mode as it has 5.1 audio (which I cannot change on the videocam) This is very disappointing as I really wanted the simplicity of the scene editing rather than timeline.... This is compounded by the fact that timeline editing seems even more complicated than normal as each new AVCHD clip I add is placed onto a different video track (not all on track 4 as you thought)- so it is real mess to work out on my screen.... Is this a bug, the way PRE treats 5.1 tracks - or is it just oversight and poor design? Do you think it might be addressed by Adobe?
Anyhow, thanks for explaining what is going on, as without your warning, I would have assumed that the PRE 7 sceneline feature was broken - you would have thought there would be some warning / documentation from Adobe about this, as effectively, a big feature is now unavailable to me as an AVCHD user - and the product claims to be compatible with AVCHD!
Would you be able to advise on a couple more of my "newbie" file format questions?
How do the settings work between setting the initial PROJECT format, and then choosing the various OUTPUT (sharing) settings. For example, if I want to edit a project using AVCHD clips only, and output it to DVD quality to watch on a PC or burn to DVD disk, do I get the same thing if I set the project setting to PAL AVCHD High Def 1080 5.1 and then the share setting to DVD quality output, as I would if I set the project settings to DV 48hz and the share setting to DVD quality output?
My ideal would be to retain the High Definition of the footage through the editing process and then be able to output to DVD quality now, but to be able to come back to the finished edited project in the future and choose to output it to Blueray when I have upgraded my TV and bought a blueray player. i.e. I am trying to make my filming and edited projects a bit futureproof....
Finally, I am just not up enough on all the different format lingos (Mpeg1, MPeg2, H.116 etc) to know what I should be choosing from the list for:
1) outputting edited footage to burn onto a DVD to be used on a DVD player
2) outputting edited footage to save onto a PC to view in the best possible quality on a PC
Do you know?
Many thanks

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

Chart format to use fro copying it as an image

Hi,
I am currently developping flash charts. I would like to be able to copy the chart as an image in order for end-users to paste them into Word documents.
it is not possible with Flash charts. What kind of chart to use ? I tried the HTML charts but it is a table with pics. i tried the SVG report, but could not get a visible result (I mean the lines where not displayed).
My question is : what chart format to use in order to be able to copy and paste the chart as an image ?
I apologize for my english, being french.
Kind thoughts
Christian

In Windows you can use Alt+Print Screen
This will take a snapshot of your screen which you can then Ctrl+V (Paste) into a Word document.
You can then crop the screenshot to size/higlight the area of interest.
I know this is a late reply but it may help others wanting to do the same.
Kind regards

Mixing Multiple Formats Onto One Timeline

I am currently editing a reel of my material and was wondering the best way to mix multiple formats together. The two that I need to go onto the same timeline are dvcpro hd which was shot 720p at 24 frames per second and apple pro res ntsc with a telecine pulldown on it. Should I through the 720p footage through compressor, if so what should i export it as? thanks

One way to do it:
Use Compressor to make the HD movie 16x9 SD(853x480) 29.97 ProRes or PRHQ.

Mixed file formats in timeline not always playing nice.

Im using the latest version of premiere pro cc, and one of the great things about PP CC is that you can drop any file format in the timeline without trancoding it right? BUT! sometimes it doesn't play well when you add effects or titles, or adjustment layers. Lets say I have a 1080 DSLR timeline and I have a mix of H.264,ProRes and MP4 footage. When the footage is in the timeline with no effects, the playback is fine, but when I add a transition, a title or a adjustment layer over the footage, when it plays over that section, the footage sometimes stutters, or plays choppy. The footage will pause for a few frames an then continues, BUT only does this when effects are applied. Its behaves as if there is not enough frames to accommodate the transition or effect, which is not the case. But if I delete the clip and drop it into the timeline again in the same spot or I adjust the length of the transition the clip will play with no issues. Why is this happening? And yes ALL footage is rendered and I have powerful enough system to handle the work. Such simple effects should not affect timeline playback.

Hey Jim, with all do respect the symtoms may suggest that, as you stated but I know I have a powerful enough system. Im running a 8 core mac pro, 22gig ram,SSD drives and Radeon 5770 card. I have edited RED footage and Canon C500 footage with dynamic linked After effects on my system with no issues. So im certian its not my system.

CS5 Mixed video formats in same sequence

New user here, coming from 10 years of Pinnacle Studio.
I have at least 3 different video formats to edit in a single sequence/timeline (iPhone, 720 from a Sony point and shoot, and 1080i from a Canon video camera). Depending on which format I use for the sequence, when I drag the videos to the main Video1 track, the audio will go to whatever track is appropriate for the mono or stereo. The iPhone and Sony are both mono and will be on one track and the Canon is stereo so its audio jumps to a stereo track.
So my question is, am I to make all my audio adjustments on both mono and stereo audio tracks depending on where I am making the volume changes on the timeline. In Pinnacle, the video and associated audio was always on the same track pair. I was just wondering about workflow and the best way to make the audio adjustments.
My project typically is a year's worth of video footage from the 3 sources, making a Year In Review. There will be soundtrack music from MP3's playing most of the time, with occasional original audio from the video being raised in volume for a few seconds, then fading back down to hear the soundtrack again. Keeps the audience more engaged.
One more question, what format should my sequence match, the 1080 stereo Canon, 720 mono Sony, or mono iPhone. The end result will be for viewing on widescreen big screen DVD or Blu-ray. I would like to make the mono on both channels, and upscale to 1080. Not sure the best way to do this.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I will continue practicing and learning.
Another question. After editing, I will be authoring with Encore, which I have used for many years now. How should I structure the audio tracks in Premiere if I want the mixed audio track (master track) to be the main audio track in Encore (on the DVD) and the original video's audio to be the alternate audio track in Encore (on the DVD). While playing back the DVD, the default audio track will be the mixed audio. If the viewer wants to hear the original audio only, then they just hit the audio button on the remote to switch tracks.
Funny how this requirement came about. For years I always just had the mixed audio. But while watching the videos, my kids started telling me they wanted to hear the original audio. Knowing the video would be too boring to adults without a soundtrack, I came up with the idea for multiple audio tracks. That requirement eliminated the consumer lever authoring tools, which is what pushed me to Encore back in the version 1.0 days. Since then I have been using Studio to edit, and Encore to author. Now I am trying to dump Studio and use the Premiere/Encore pair.
The way I did this in Pinnacle Studio was to output the video and mixed audio as an AVI or MPEG2 file, and import this as the timeline in Encore. Then from Pinnacle Studio, output the original audio only as a .wav file, and import this as a 2nd audio track in Encore. Worked perfectly...as long as Pinnacle kept the audio in sync, which at times was difficult, but with the newer releases of Studio, it worked much better.
Thanks for all the guidance.

Line Chart - Formatting more than 4 lines in line chart

Hi,
How to format more than 4 lines in line chart using Crystal report Designer as by default it will display 4 lines in design mode.
Able to format 4 lines but i have to display total 6 lines.
Urgent. Please help....
Thanks,
ThakurS

Hi,
The design mode is not the right place to edit lines, bars etc for Charts.
You can select individual lines from the Preview Mode and edit them.
Hope this helps!

Line Chart Formatting in HFR

I am using Financial Reporting for HFM and need a few line charts. I have to display the values of the respective points on the line chart which I did using the display point values checkbox in the Format Chart. However, the values are in $ or % and those prefixes ($, % etc) are not showing up on chart values(just displaying numbers which are rounded without any decimal places). I have formatted the grid where the chart is fetching its data but that is not helping. Anyone has any idea, how this can be done. Please help.

Hi,
The design mode is not the right place to edit lines, bars etc for Charts.

Pie Chart Formatting

I have a problem and hope I can find a solution here.
When creating a 3-d Pie Chart in Webi XI 3, the labels for the sections of the chart are overlapping and un-readable.
How do I keep these labels from overlapping?

Hi Jeffery,
The following solutions might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Do not use the diagonal labeling, or make the initial chart large enough to try and avoid the diagonal labeling from occurring as users drill down.
Solution2:
1) Open the report in Business Objects XI R3.
2) Double click on the data labels. Data labels Format window opens up.
3) On the Number tab look for properties section, add few spaces at the beginning of the positive and negative format of the number.
4) Click on Apply and then OK.

Flash Chart Format / Mask Numbers

Hi everone,
I want to ask you if someone know how to put in a format mask to the numbers on a flash chart, for example, instead of display 2542169 displays something like this: 2,542,169.87
I created an example flash chart in order to show you more clearly: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33253:10
Thanks a lot!,
Fury

Edit your Flash Chart Attribute. Go to Axes Settings attribute. For attribute Show Group Separator select 'Yes'. for attribute Decimal Places specify '2' and you'll get what you are looking for.

Financial Reports - chart formatting questions

1) Is it possible to display the legend label names horizontally? The default lists them vertically and I don't see an option to change this.
2) Is it possible to display axis numeric data labels with a decimal place?
3) Is there any way to have axis start at minimum value of data (as in Excel) vs. 0?
4) If data for a given month is 0, the line chart datapoint drops down to the bottom of the chart...is there any way to have it just cut off instead of showing the drop (tried putting a blank space in suppression labels but this did not work...)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We are at version 9.3.1:
We have a solution that involves editing the Report export file (.DES extension, the file is in XML format) – in other words a File > Export of the report and open the file in a text editor. The change essentially hard codes the number of decimal places in the chart legend. Since it looks like we have both Ratios (Gross margin %) and Financial Accounts (Gross margin) that could appear in the Chart, we probably don’t want two decimal places for all charts, the solution I added is for one decimal place only.
To make the edit:
1. open the DES file in a text editor. Search on <CHARTOBJECT , this should take you to the CHARTOBJECT section.
2. then search on OBJECT_WIDTH. There are OBJECT_WIDTH parameters for objects other than charts, that is why we start at the Chart section first.
3. Add the following parameter after OBJECT_WIDTH: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%8.1f')"
4. There should be a space before the parameter, separating it from OBJECT_WIDTH, and a space after it separating it from the following parameter.
5. Note: the %8.1f is surrounded by single quotes.
6. Repeat the process for all other charts, search for the next <CHARTOBJECT and so on.
To have 2 fixed decimal places, use the following: OTHERPROPERTIES="LeftFormat=(FLOAT, '%f')"

Flash chart formatting

Hi everyone,
Can someone explain or point me in the direction of some documentation that can explain how to format the apex flash charts?
I'd really like to be able to edit the colours on the chart beyond the inbuilt 'Look1; Look2' etc
thanks heaps!
Kieran

Nevermind, apparently once you create the chart you can then use custom colours.
My mistake :)

Y Axis chart format (currency)

How do I format the numbers on the Y Axis of a chart? I am trying to format numbers on the Y axis as US dollars. The numbers have three or more digits to the left of the decimal. I used the inspector and selected $ as the numbers format and steps 1 up to 10 and the results went from three digits to four digits past the decimal. Example $78,000.000 Thanks

Hello
As I never find a way to change the way Numbers choose the used format on axis, I decided to select limits and number of steps so that it may get integers.
As your original sample was 78,000.000, I assumes that deimals are useless on the axis.
For instance, I would use lower = $50,000 and higher = $100,000 with 5 steps

Chart formats

Hi,
I want to create chart based reports using HTML DB but I also want to be able to extract output from it too. For example,I navigate through my application to a page containing a chart based report , click save as and then mail this off to a third party who doesnt have access to the website? This wont always be the case but for some of the report recipients it is all that is practical.
This doesnt seem to work with SVG graphs.
I note that I could do this if I chose to have simple html format charts - but all these allow you to do is have bar graphs - can a html chart be of any other format (eg. line or pie graphs)?
I'm starting to think that perhaps Oracle Reports server might be better for my needs - which is a shame as I've really taken to this product and learnt a lot quickly. I doubt the learning curve will be as easy with Reports!
Regards,
Tim

Tim,
As the source of an SVG chart is XML, you will not be able to right-click and save/email it.
However, you can use Windows built-in screen capture utility or a 3rd party tool to take a screen shot, save it as a GIF, and then email that.
HTML Charts only support bar charts - not line or pie.
Hope this helps,
