Oracle APEX Bar Chart: Missing labels

Is there a way to get all the data labels to print for an Interactive bar chart? My bar chart has about 16 items. Only 9 of the labels display/print. All the labels are there if I hover over them but I would like to display them. Can I change the font size or something to get them to appear?
Can I display more lines (so the chart doesn't fit on the screen)? Would this solve the problem?
I am currently using APEX 3.2.0.00.27
Thank you

If you are running CF9, check the <labelStyle isHideOverlapped="true"> property. If not, you could try slanting/wrapping the labels so they fit the space a bit better. Adjusting the chart size so they do fit is another option.
That said, you should still set reasonable limits for title length. If the titles are very long, you may want to abbreviate or truncate them after X characters.

Interactive Report Chart Missing Labels

I have a simple horizontal bar chart on an Interactive Report... There are 22 bars but only half of them (11) have labels. Bars 1, 3, 5, 7, etc have labels. If I click on the other bars I can see their labels but this is of no use when printing. The same issue happens frequently in various other charts whenever there are more than a few items to display. Our users have to download the reports to Excel and create the charts there in order to print or make presentations.

Hi Rick,
The behaviour you are seeing, where not all labels are displayed, is expected given the size of the region the chart is being displayed in and the number of labels you wish to display. AnyChart will automatically handle the display of the labels in this case, and it is not possible to customise an Interactive Report chart to override this behaviour. My suggestion would be that you create a new Chart region, where you have more control over the chart you generate. Please refer to the section Creating Charts - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#CHDFEJAB - in Chapter 8 - Adding Application Components of the APEX User's Guide for more information. Once you have generated your chart, you can increase the height of your chart on the Chart Attributes page, and this will allow for the display of additional labels on the X-axis of your chart. Alternatively, you could look at the option of using the AnyChart axis label Stager mode, as outlined in the online AnyChart documentation here: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/axes-labels-text-formatting.html#stager. As the mode name suggests, the positioning of the axis labels will be staggered, which will allow for the display of all of your labels without having to adjust the chart height. For your presentations, you can easily create the chart regions on the same page as your existing Interactive Reports, and you'll also have the ability to print the charts, save them as an image or as PDF.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

SSRS Stacked Bar Chart Smart Label Problem

I have a SSRS 2008 Stacked Bar Chart. When the bar values are close then the Series labels often merge and overlap making the value unreadable. I have set the properties so that Smart Labels AllowOutSidePlotArea is true, NoMoveDirections Right = False etc.
but they still overlap.
How do I set so that the values are plotted in a readable manner?
Thanks

Hi CDG100,
According to your description, it seems that the issue which you occurred is that series label got overlapped when there are some sections with small value in the bar. If in this scenario, there are several properties you can use to try to get the labels
to fit better. The SSRS 2008 charts contain a feature called smart labels, and we expose a lot of options that control their behavior. Here are some properties that may help. First, select the data point, then go to the SmartLabels node in the property grid.
Expand the "NoMoveDirections" node. This will give you set of directions that you can use to restrict the directions that the labels can move in. You can try to change directions to see if it helps.
You can remove the CallOutLine by setting the CallOutStyle to None and the CallOutLineAnchor to None. You can also change their widths or their styles to see if that helps.
If the issue is still existed, we can try to set the horizontal axis interval to a small one. This will make the lower values big enough to display the label. However, it will make your chart really tall for the ones with high values.
Another possibility is to use Tooltip instead of actually displaying. Type a same expression with Value field in the Tooltip property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

BIP 11.1.1.7 - Stacked Bar chart data label not visible in pdf

Hi all,
I have a report built with the online editor. This contains a stacked bar chart with percentage values in a repeating section and I made the property DataVisible=true.
When I view the report in interactive mode it all works: I can see the data label for every value of the parameter but when I view in any other format (PDF, PPT, ecc..) the data labels are visible in the first chart (for the first value of the parameter) while in the other charts they aren't. This doesn't happens for other types of chart, for example with a pie chart.
Can someone help me or tell if it is a bug?
Thanks,
Micaela

Formatting bar chart data label

Post Author: dkekesi
CA Forum: General
Hi All,I have a chart that contains how long it took to perform a certain task for each user (user name is on the X axis, times on the Y axis). The problem is that the data is displayed in seconds. I wish to format the data label on the bars so they show 00:45:42 (in hh:mm:ss format) instead of 2742 seconds, for example.I have not found a way to do this. Is there a way at all?Thanks for the help. Daniel

I have CR XI, not sure if this is supported in earlier versions. You can create a formula, and use the formula in the graph. For example:
Numbervar Totalsec := Sum ({@Login Hrs secs}, );
NumberVar Days :=(Truncate (TotalSec / 86400)*24);
NumberVar Hours :=(Truncate (Remainder (TotalSec,86400) / 3600))+ Days;
NumberVar Minutes :=Truncate (Remainder (TotalSec,3600) / 60);
NumberVar Seconds :=Remainder (TotalSec,60);
Hours & ":" & Minutes & ":" & Seconds
The addition of *24 in the NumberVar Days sum combined with the addition of days to the NumberVar hours gives a total time in hours no matter whether in excess of 24 hours or not.
Use this formula in your chart. instead of your seconds field.

Problem with stacked bar chart label

Hi,
According to page export sql file I'm using APEX version 2.0.0.00.49.
I'm trying to make stacked bar chart but no matter what I do I can't have series label to be displayed within the chart area.
Is it a bug fixed in a latter version of APEX ? Is there something particular to do (for example an option to thick) to have them displayed ?
thank you for help.

The answer is yes there is something particular to do.
If you want your stacked bar chart to display well all series have to be the same and not null.
So you must write outer joined queries with nvl in the select.

Break for Horizontal Axis Labels in OBIEE 11g Bar Chart

Hi all,
I have a vertical bar chart created in OBIEE 11g. The horizontal axis (x-axis) is a compound of Scenario, Year, and Month. The chart width is already long enough so it cannot be made any longer.
The chart looks like this (the label of horizontal axis is staggered):
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
Actual Feb 2012____________Actual Apr 2012
___________Actual Mar 2012_____________Actual May 2012
How can I force the labels for the horizontal axis to be broken into 2 lines (or even 3 lines), so that it will look like this:
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll_________llllllllllllll
___Actual________Actual________Actual________Actual
__Feb 2012_____Mar 2012_____Apr 2012______May 2012
Any advice? Thanks a lot!

Hi Stewart,
I could not try this yet, but how about 'Enabling the Contains HTML Markup' for the columns for Heading and including a '</br>' tag at the end of the name.
Ex: Column - >Properties -> column Format -> Column Heading -> Enable Contains HTML Markup -> Column Heading's suffix =less than symbol /br greater than symbol (Oracle forums is even break the line too!! ;) So included the text)
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Format SVG bar chart labels

I am currently using APEX 2.2.1.
Here is the SQL for my SVG vertical bar chart.
select * from(select null link, hourstart label,(select count(*)
FROM toctasks.toc_tasker
where (tas_create_dt between
to_date(:P17_STARTDATE||' 06:00','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI')
and
to_date(:P17_ENDDATE||' 05:59','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'))
and
(trim(substr(to_char(tas_create_dt,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'),10,6)) >= hourstart
and trim(substr(to_char(tas_create_dt,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'),10,6)) <= hourend )
and instr(:P17_INCLUDE_LOGONLY,tas_status) > 0) value from testtocday
order by hrseq)
The X axis labels are the hours of the day (hourstart), starting at 0600 and ending at 0500.
I would like to do any one of the following:
1. Bold and red the hour label when it is equal to 0600, 1400 and 2200.
2. Change the color of the bar when the hour label is equal to 0600, 1400 and 2200.
3. put some sort of vertical marker in the chart when the hour label is equal to 1400 and 2200.
Any of this possible?
Thanks,
Bob

hi patrick--
i'm not seeing this limit in my tests. i tried both vertical and horizontal bar charts and was able to display labels like ename||ename||ename||ename||ename w/o issues. if you're still hitting it, could you please describe where/how your hitting that 15 character limit?
thanks,

Y axis errors for apex 4.0 bar chart

I created a 2d stacking bar chart for the following query. The chart shows 1 1 2 2 3 on the y axis of the bar chart.
This strikes me as wrong. It appears Apex does not like doing charts for small values. :)
select null link, 1 time, 1 "sts1", 1 "sts2" from dual
union
select null link, 2 time, 0 "sts1", 2 "sts2" from dual
union
select null link, 3 time, 1 "sts1", 0 "sts2" from dual
If I change even one of the values to 5, then everything works fine.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Any thoughts such as "don't use labels" not appreciated so much.

I know this is a really old question but ...
I thought I'd provide a little insight since I had the same problem. If, as in the case described, the values are specified to have 0 decimal places, and the range of the data is, say, between 0 and a small number then the Y scale/range may be 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, ... But at 1 decimal place, these may display (truncated?/rounded) as 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, ...
The easy solution would be to specify 1 (or more) decimal places in the chart. However, the easy solution has other effects. My stacked bar chart was very dense with only enough room (enough width in the bar) to show a single digit for the Values. This became unreadable when the value 1 (one) was replaced by 1.2 and 2 by 2.3 as the displayed value was wider than the bar and they all ran together. So I unchecked to display Values. (Why couldn't the values display staggered like labels do so they they don't overlap?)
So even though, I had intended to display "values," I had to give that up when I specified additional decimals in the labels.

How to make the labels vertical in a horizonal bar chart?

Hi,
I am using CF 9. I have a horizontal bar chart. How can I make the labels on the Y-Axis display horizontally. Right now they are vertical and sort of sideways.
Below is a snipept from my <cfchart>. Everything is working, I just want the labels to display horizontally. How can I do this?
<cfchart
                          format="png"
                          chartheight="310" chartwidth="530" foregroundcolor="##000000"
                          show3d="false"
                          scalefrom="0" scaleto="14"
                          showlegend="no"
                          showxgridlines="yes"
                          showygridlines="no"
                          showborder="no"
                          style="#elementStyle#" >
                          <cfchartseries type="horizontalbar" paintstyle="shade"">
                          </cfchartseries>
</cfchart>
Thanks...

When you open the default New Tab page - about:newtab - which has the Tiles and a Search Bar, the "focus" is in the Search Bar. You could change a hidden setting to have a blank page when you open a new tab if that's what you want - that will have the "focus" in the Location Bar . URL Bar.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''Accept the warning''
Search field at the top to filter with this - '''browser.newtab.url'''
Right-click the preference that appears below, and select '''Modify'''.
Insert '''about:blank''' for the new string value.

How can I show a 0% range in the data value label on a bar chart thanks?

How can I show a 0% range in the data value label on a bar chart thanks?

I'm not sure what the question is.
I know that if you have a bar chart and one of the categories (X-axis) has bar (Y value) equal to 0%, no bar is plotted for that category. Even the addition of a stroke (line) around the bars doesn't make one appear for 0%. The only automatic way I know of to make it look like there is data in that category is to add the value labels to the bars. Inspector/Chart/Series, select one of the bars on the chart, click on "value labels". Another method that is a workaround is to fudge the number a little in your table so that instead of 0% it is a very small %. This will get you a thin line on the chart.
But if your question is about the value labels (the numbers that display on or in the bars) and you are not getting one for a bar that is supposed to be 0%, it probably means your table doesn't actually have a 0% in the corresponding cell. A blank cell in the table will not get a value label.

Positioning the label of a bar of a range bar chart - SSRS 2012

Hi,
is it possible to center the label of a bar belonging to a range bar chart, in order to position it inside the bar area?
Thanks

Hi pscorca,
If I understand correctly, you want to set the label to be displayed in the middle of bar series. To achieve this goal, we can use the BarLabelStyle property. For more details, please see:
Right-click the bar series, and then select ‘Show Data Labels'.
Click the bar series to open Property grid window.
Expand CustomAttributes node, then change the property of BarLabelStyle to ‘Center’.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

MAP - Label - Oracle Apex 4.0 -

Hi everybody,
I have some some questions about maps of Oracle Apex 4.0. I need to put many labels in my sql query, is it possible ?
I know that the standard syntax is : select LINK, LABEL, VALUE .... But could we use two or three labels ? and how ? please
Thank you in advance,

My SQL Query is :
select null link, country_apex.region_name label, count(*) value
from figures, country_apex
where country_apex.country = figures.country
group by country_apex.region_name
"COUNTRY_APEX" is a cross-reference table which let me to rely my data (figures) with the map, with "country" as foreign key. "country" is the column which contain countries of my database, then I had to make the "COUNTRY_APEX" table in order to rely my countries with apex countries. I made that with the AnyMap XML Reference.
So this SQL query works, but when I want to add another label like "figures.geo" or "figures.region", it doesn't work.
"country_apex.region_name" must be the main label because it let the display of my data on the map.
