Multiple Categories on a Stacked Bar Chart - Is it Possible?

I'm using Crystal 2008 reports designer to convert charts now being maintained in MS Access.
Is it possible to have multiple categories on a stacked bar Crystal Chart as you can in MS Chart (used in Excel and Access)?
I need to put both a date category and a community category on the x-axis, a numeric count on the y-axis and use a legend to differentiate the stack segments in the bar. So far I can only get either community or date on the x-axis and need to have both.

Stacked Bar Chart with Multiple Series Sort Question

Hi,
Apex version 4.1.1
I have a stacked bar chart with three separate series, one showing customer effort, another showing project effort and the third showing other effort, summarized by calendar week. The x-axis of the chart is the calendar "week of" date, and the y-axis has a bar for each of the three series. Not every type of effort occurs every week.
When AnyChart renders the chart, the order of entries on the x-axis seems to be dependent both on which series are present in a given week as well as the "week of" date. Weeks with all three series sort in order by calendar date, followed by weeks where just the 2nd & 3rd series are present, followed by weeks where just the 3rd series is present. See this [url http://tinypic.com/r/b9zdt/6] picture of the chart noting the "week of" dates. Note that the months go Sep-Oct-Nov-Aug-Oct.
Is there a way to force AnyChart to sort the x-axis in chronological order regardless of whether there is data for all three series for a given week? I have looked through the AnyChart XML reference but cannot find a way to do this.
Incidentally, I can solve the sorting problem by combining all three series into a single query:
select
null as link,
week_of as label,
sum(customer_effort) as "Customer Effort",
sum(project_effort) as "Project Effort",
sum(other_effort) as "Training, Admin and Other Effort"
from ...But if I do this, I cannot figure out how to have each bar on a given week link to a different detail page, e.g., if I click on a bar representing customer effort I want to link to one page, but if I click on a bar representing project effort, I want to link to a different page. I have had a look at the [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:59:1570983160946101::NO:::] chart examples posted on apex.oracle.com, but cannot figure out how to apply to multiple series in a single query.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Jeff. I did try this but for whatever reason it doesn't make a difference. I think it is because if there's no data for a given series for a certain week, there is no entry in the data set that is sent to AnyChart.
I was able to get around the issue by "filling in" the missing weeks from each data series. To generate the list of "Week Of" dates for a given date range, I used this code:
select
 trunc (each_day) as week_of,
 0 as effort
from (
 select
 (to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 2 - to_char(to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format),'D') - 1) + level each_day
 from dual
 connect by level <= to_date(:p920_end_date,:app_date_format) - to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 1
where
 to_char (each_day, 'D') = '2'This creates an effort entry of 0 for each week within the date range; I use the Monday date of a week as the "Week Of" date. I then union this with my actual data and summarize by week and viola, I get the weeks in order. This also has the benefit of showing a week for which there are no entries in any of the three series.
Thanks for taking a look at this.

Navigating to multiple reports from stacked bar chart

Hi,
I have a stacked bar chart which consist of two fact's A & B. Now i want to navigate to report 1 when i click portion of stacked bar that is created by fact A and i want to navigate to report 2 when i click portion of stacked bar that is created by fact B. How can i achieve it in OBIEE?
The other solution can be that when i click either portion of stacked bar i navigate to a same report but in that report i have defined filters to filter out results to show data like report 1 when A portion is clicked and to show data like report 2 when B portion is clicked. But what filter should i use in this case and what will be the filter values?
Thanks.
Aasim Khan

The second option worked for me. I am navigating to a same report but i am using a filter to filter out un-required data.
1. I created a new column in RPD at logical level and set its value that whether this row is for fact A or B.
2.Then in the chart i check the column against the third column of check boxes where we select fields against we want to create the graph.
3. In the interaction tab i selected the report to which i want to navigate.
4. Then in the report in included this newly created column and apply "is prompted" filter. Now when i clicked fact A of stack bar i only saw data against fact A and when i clicked fact B it only shows data for fact B.
Thanks.

Problem with Stacked Bar Chart

I have a problem with a stacked bar chart in Numbers 09. My chart is a single series with 6 categories. All of the categories have different values. The first 5 categories display correctly. However, the last category does not display in the color its supposed to, but rather shows up as white/background instead of the grey color shown on the legend. However, the value label is displayed in the proper place.
When I select other chart types (pie, regular bar, or regular column) the category shows up like it's supposed to.
This is kind of annoying since I would rather use stacked bar instead of a pie chart. Is there an upper limit on the number of values it can display as a stacked bar chart? Is this just a bug? Thanks!

Here's my result with six values in a single series. I double clicked the last bar to change its colour from the default grey (which was visible) to magenta.
Numbers 2.0.3, iBook G4, OS X v10.4.11
(Shot in the dark:) Try double clicking the value label, then changing the order position of this item.

Barry

Stacked Bar Chart with data from a Web Service

Hi,
I'm working on Dashboard Design (version 14.0.1.287) and I'm trying to create a chart linked to data from a webservice.
With a Year in input, my webservice gives an Amount per Cities and Products
Data retrieved look like this (Sheet1) :
Paris Tablets 45
Paris Laptops 12
Paris Cellulars 89
New-York Tablets 56
New-York Laptops 36
New-York Cellulars 1
Londres Tablets 150
Londres Laptops 3
Londres Cellulars 45
Then I use a Pivot Table (created manually in Excel) looking like this (Sheet2) :
 Tablets Laptops Cellulars
Paris 45 12 89
New-York 56 36 1
Londres 150 3 45
The chart is a Stacked Bar Chart plugged on the previous Pivot Table
I create 3 series (one per Product), values (X) are set with Amount
Category labels (Y) are set with Cities
The goal is to have a dynamic chart (series and categories must update if a new city or a new product appears)
So my question is : how can I set up the chart directly with data retrieved from webservice on Sheet1?
Thx a lot !
Nicolas

hi
First thing , bad news if you are using .Net framework 1,
just forget it, Flex 2 doesn't work well with framework 1, but 2nd,
good news, if you want to use webservices, you'll have to make an
array of objects on .Net Side and send it as objects to flex, i saw
an example on the net but i can't seem to remember where, on the
other hand,if you want to simply use, like i do, HTTPSERVICE its a
very nice way to talk with .Net and you can see my example here
http://flex1-for-dummies.blogspot.com
By the way, in your code, you have a request tag , but you
aren't requesting anything, because if you were you would have to
make like this
<mx:request>
<Artist>{yourinputtext.text}</Artist>
</mx:request>
So if you don't have an input text, you don't need a request
tag, only the operation.

Stacked Bar Chart

Hi I would like to create a stacked bar chart in my report.
It will have 2 dimensions and 1 Measure.
Dimension 1 = Month
Dimension 2 = Sales Item
Measure = Sales_quantity
I can't find anything in the user guide.
Is this possible ?

I am not sure what you understand as a "stacked bar chart" - There is a chart type "stacked bar chart" that we support. So you can have the Month as the x axis and the Sale Item as the different data sets.
We are using the Oracle BI Beans XML description for our charts. The BI Beans chart builder helps to define the tags - that is stored in the Web Alternate Text of the Image that is included by the chart builder.
The tag for the graph type is:
<Graph graphType="BAR_VERT_STACK"/>
To show 2 dimensions you need to modify the code the following way
1) Adjust the row count
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'MONTH'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'SALESITEM'))}">
2) Show the labels
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESITEM">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./SALESITEM"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
3) Add multiple rows for the SALESITEM in each column (MONTH) in the data section.
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="MONTH">
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="SALESITEM">
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/Sales_quantity)"/></Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</DataValues>
The code stehms from an example I did recently for multiple line charts - so I made have some typos in there - from changing hte names. Hope it helps and you get it working.
We should support the stacked bar charts in the builder, but it is only recently that
people cared about the charts...
Good luck,
Klaus

Stacked Bar chart does not overlap series

I have a stacked bar chart with to values "Invoiced" and "Budget" and 2 categories YEAR and MONTH - the problem is that the bar chart shows the values Invoiced and Budget in Top of each other and Not overlapping each other . ex:
NOW: Invoiced = 200 Budget = 300 - Bar chart shows a column of 500 for the month (NOT correct)
What I want is to show 1 column for each month where up to 200 the colour is green and from 200 to 300 the colour is blue for example....
How to achieve this ?

Hi HCMJ,
By default, the bar value will not overlapping each other in stacked bar chart, and we cannot increase or decrease the gap between the series in Reporting Services.
Based on my research, I find a workaround can achieve your requirement, please refer to the steps below:
Create a dataset with the query below (sample data):
CREATE TABLE #temp(name nvarchar(50),time nvarchar(50),value int)
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('Invoiced','YEAR',100),('Invoiced','MONTH',200),('Budget','MONTH',300),('Budget','YEAR',600)
SELECT * FROM #temp
Insert time field to Category Groups pane, and change the group name to “time”.
Insert value field to Values pane, then change the value to like below:
=min(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Insert another field with the following expression to Values pane:
=max(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Change the type of chart from Stacked Bar Chart to Range Bar Chart.
Right-click the Series field to change the Fill color to #9bff8c00 (DarkOrange with 155 Transparency) or any color with Transparency you like. Now we can get the following:
Preview it and get the following result:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Help with stacked bar charts

Help..................
I am definitely missing something.
I want to do something like the attached, stacked bar chart example. This is pretty much
one of the examples.
What I need is for a horizontal chart instead of a vertical. When I right click the legend and
chose bar charts, it only shows vertical. After messing with this for a couple of hours,
I give.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Stacked Bar Graph.vi ‏43 KB

Another stacked bar graph plea for help!
My scenario: I am recording 3ph current values (red, yellow, blue) on multiple circuits for some electrical tests we do.
I want to present this data on a screen that is most visible from a distance, so the approach I have taken when I last wrote the software in Delphi was to have each 3 ph circuit represented by a 3 channel bar chart where the three channels are stacked front to back in order of magnitude. This allowed me to add multiple 3 channel circuits next to these to fill the screen from left to right.
See attached Excel file to make it clear. I hope!
The main issue I see is that the colour of plot needs to move front to back with the magnitude. ie Red is not always the front plot, it is the 'smallest' of the three plots that stays at the front.
Some tests we do, may have 12 x 3ph circuits of this type which fills the screen up and can make it very busy. Rather than having 36 plots left to right, by stacking them in groups of three, I reduce the left to right number to 12 plots. The screen can then be viewed from a distance much easier.
Any suggestions? I am expecting I will need to write my own routine for this, which if I do, i am quite happy to share when complete.
See (and run) the attached LabVIEW code of my progress so far.
thanks Adam

Alternate way to Stacked Bar Chart

Hi All,
on HTML DB 2.0 we can make a stacked bar chart (this allows to have multiple series for bar charts).
But I am having HTML DB 1.5.
Is there any other way to create a stacked bar chart on 1.5 version?
Thanks in advance,
Manoj

Hi Nilesh,
I do not believe that there is an out-of-the-box feature that would suffice your needs.
However, the work-around is relatively simple, although it needs a bit of coding.
If you are sourcing the image directly, the image could be refreshed using Javascript settimeout function. If you are sourcing the location of the image from an iCommand, you could use the update event of the applet.
Besides ... if everything was too easy, there would be no need for you and I

Repositioning datalabels on 3-D stacked-bar chart

I am trying to reposition value datalabels on a 3-D 100%-stacked-bar chart. I am using Excel 2010.
I am preparing charts for the age distribution and the race/ethnic distribution of new students, among dozens of others. (Printed, the workbook is over 100 pages, with more charts to be added!)
Each series (for example, "25 to 29" or "Asian") has its distinct color. My boss has stipulated 12pt bold type, but some points are so small that the datalabels are larger than the point. As a result, he
wants the datalabel filled with the category's color. He also wants datalabels for points with 0 values displayed (for instance, "Over 50" or "Not Reported") inside the bar.
On a 3-D bar chart, the middle of a datalabel is positioned at the vertical middle of the point and at the horizontal middle of the face of the point (not the middle of the entire point, thus excluding the sidewall).
The 0-valued points are usually at the top or bottom of the bar. With several categories, inserting the "0" or small-value label at the extreme of the bar often overwrites one or more other labels. My boss wants the second label moved
below the first, etc.
I have used the eyeball method to adjust the datalabels, but I frequently either overlap another label or allow the contrasting color of the point that the labels overlay to leak through the space between the two labels.
I'm trying to tighten the charts' appearance. I have written code, for instance, to horizontally align all datalabels for box-and-whisker charts with the label of the mean. (The labels for the whiskers are not, by default, aligned with the
labels for the box)
The attached code (in VBA, not VB.Net)
Sub test()
Dim bytPoint As Byte, bytSeries As Byte
Dim strDataLabelName As String
 Dim objDataLabelNext As DataLabel, objPoint As Point
 Const cstrTitle As String = "Position DataLabel"
 If Not TypeName(Selection) = "DataLabel" Then MsgBox "Please select a single DataLabel", , cstrTitle: Exit Sub
 strDataLabelName = Selection.Name
 If Not Left$(strDataLabelName, 4) = "Text" Then MsgBox "DataLabel has an invalid name. It must be ""Text SnPn"". Please correct.", , cstrTitle: Exit Sub
 bytSeries = ftbSeries(strDataLabelName)
 bytPoint = ftbPoint(strDataLabelName)
 With ActiveChart
 If bytSeries = .SeriesCollection.Count Then
 Selection.Top = .Axes(xlValue).Top + 0.75
 Else
 Set objDataLabelNext = .SeriesCollection(bytSeries + 1).Points(bytPoint).DataLabel
 Selection.Top = objDataLabelNext.Top + objDataLabelNext.Height
 End If
 Set objPoint = .SeriesCollection(bytSeries).Points(bytPoint)
 Selection.Left = objPoint.Left + (objPoint.Width - Selection.Width) / 2
 End With
 Set objDataLabelNext = Nothing: Set objPoint = Nothing
End Sub
Function ftbPoint(strDataLabelName As String) As Byte
ftbPoint = Val(Mid$(strDataLabelName, InStr(5, strDataLabelName, "P") + 1))
End Function
Function ftbSeries(strDataLabelName As String) As Byte
ftbSeries = Val(Mid$(strDataLabelName, InStr(5, strDataLabelName, "S") + 1))
End Function
...does successfully vertically align the selected datalabel with the label of the next-higher series point, or the bottom of the top axis, if the series is the last. But the datalabel is horizontally aligned with the entire width of the point, not
the face of the point.
My strategy is to add half of the excess of the width of the face of the point over the width of the label to the left edge of the point. objPoint.width returns the 2-D width of the point, not the width of the 3-D face. I've tried subtracting
the point depth from the point width, but that fails on theoretical, much less practical, grounds.
I'm sure a function or a formula exists to convert the three-space depth to two-space so I can subtract it from the point width, but my little pea-sized brain can't conjure it. I've invested a day's work with no solution.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi JFHart,
>>The "face" of the point is the front of the object, as opposed to the shaded side. I'm seeking a way to measure the front. The .width property seems to include the side; it measures the entire area that is colored<<
Yes, it is correct. The width property of Point include the side. Here the test I did for it:
And as far as I know, Excel object model doesn't provide a way to get the width of front face. I suggest that you submit the feedback from link below if you want to Office support this feature.

How to format individual series in stacked bar chart

Hi,
Is there any way I can format (sort order, or transperency) of each series individually in a horizontal stacked bar chart?
I am trying to create a gantt chart, where I am using two series
1. Start Date
2. Duration
The function of series one (Start Date) is only to place the start position of the horizontal bar of series 2 (duration) in the year time frame.
After creation of the stacked bar chart, I want to make the reansperency of series 1 (start Date) as 0 so that the duration bar apears floating and gives the feel of Gantt chart.
Thanks
Aurobindo

Well,
I've just been struggling for a couple of hours with a cluster bar chart giving the same problem.
The problem is definitely with "ORDER BY".
I guess the graphing chart is taking the sql query as a string and then does some other manipulation on it which ends abnormally when you include the order by clause.
I presume that if you embed the query in a
SELECT * FROM (<actual query with order by>)
it might mitigate the problem.

Stacked bar chart with percentage in Xcelsius

Hi,
I want to create a stacked bar chart(Horizontal) for the following data
Project 1 --- >    2140, 177, 288, 135
Project 2 --->     856, 44, 658, 120
For following status respectively
Completed,      Pending ,Partially completed, Not Started
Project 1 and Project 2 will be on Y axis.
I want this data to be divided in percentage.
as shown below
Project 1 |___135_____|___177_____|______2140_______|
Project 2 | __44__|___120_____|________856__________|
0              20           40 ........                          100
How to achieve this in xcelsius?

I don't understand why you are soying it is not possible.
Actually I think it is and quite easily but maybe i missunderstand the question.
But anyway, here is what I would do:
In the spreadsheet, you can calculate the percentage of each status per project:
     Completed     Pending     Partially completed     Not Started
Project 1     78.10%     6.46%     10.51%     4.93%
Project 2     51.01%     2.62%     39.21%     7.15%
And then select these data for the stacked bar chart. Here you get the graph you are looking for.

Stacked bar chart with negative values

Hi,
trying to create a stacked bar chart I only get a grey picture. Reason: my data series provides positive and negative values.
Can anyone tell me a trick how to fix this problem?

User614143,
try to add the minumm negative value (but positive) to the parameter for the axis.
e.g. show value+3000 (assuming -3000 is the minimum value)
If you don't have a limitation for the negative values, it doesn't work. (or try to calculate first the most negative value in a before header process)
hope this helps.

 200601 ABC 1000 200602 ABC 300 200603 ABC 500 ..... the data collection is as above,then chart display: x-axis as YYYYMM,y-axis as PRODUCT... but why this case the bar chart color not the same for each YYYYMM? and legend not display one PRODUCT as ABC only? the bar chart display like this: http://tkfiles.storage.live.com/y1po30C7CH6eW9phoLAXH89MBGwFLYdEZ3kOMQXUQzDzwM-VNnffibEwqPI8TIUNBm1f7uKTjnkaOI ps. crystal report version is 8.5Regina

Thanks, Jeff. I did try this but for whatever reason it doesn't make a difference. I think it is because if there's no data for a given series for a certain week, there is no entry in the data set that is sent to AnyChart.
I was able to get around the issue by "filling in" the missing weeks from each data series. To generate the list of "Week Of" dates for a given date range, I used this code:

 from dual
 connect by level <= to_date(:p920_end_date,:app_date_format) - to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 1
where
 to_char (each_day, 'D') = '2'This creates an effort entry of 0 for each week within the date range; I use the Monday date of a week as the "Week Of" date. I then union this with my actual data and summarize by week and viola, I get the weeks in order. This also has the benefit of showing a week for which there are no entries in any of the three series.
Thanks for taking a look at this.
