Pie chart in Visual composer

Before you rush now and create a pie chart, sit back and read the following document of how to visualize data:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SIT/Visualization
You will see that pie charts are the by far worst method to display data. Edward Tufte (the guru in data visualization and a must read for everybody who wants to be serious with datawarehousing and dashboards) writes "A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart; the only worse design than a pie chart is several of them [...]" (p. 178, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information)
If you want to become the "laughing stock" of your folks and customers, and just show off marketing wise, then use as many pie charts as you can find. Your users however won't be able to make sense out of the data.
Sorry, I am very passionate about this topic

2 data sources in same chart in Visual Composer

Hoping you can answer a question for me.
Do you know if there is a way in Visual Composer to combine the output of 2 data sources into the same chart or table?
Here is an example of what I am after.
Inside BW, we currently have sales history for the company (i.e. monthly sales numbers). We can use a BW query as data source for this data.
Now we have found some interesting web services that provide 'market' type data,( i.e. some economic indicator) that we'd like to corrolate to these sales. We'd like to also chart the monthly value of this external indicator on same chart. I can use an external web service as a data source for this data. Howveer, VC seems to only allow me to send the output of this service to a separate chart/table. This is not ideal. I'd rather be able to incorprate in same chart.
If this is not possble, can Web Application designer consume web services? If so, I'd be fine with doing whole application with this tool.

Hi Brad,
Technically it is possible to combine to data souces using COMBINE, UNION operators. So the resulting table contains columns of two data souces.
You can use this resluting table to create a chart.
I have not checked this uisng web services. But it should be possible.
Thanks,
Venkata

Chart-Visual Composer

Hi,
In Visual Composer, I use the BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST.
İ have several salesorder for one material or one month.
i want to show the sum of the salesorders for one material or salesorders for one month in the chart .
how can i do that?

Mustafa,
use the 'group by' operator to achieve this, draw a transition line from output port of the bapi to the operator. select material or date or any parameter by which you want to sum the orders and assign 'group1'. assign 'sum' on the 'delv_qty' parameter. this will sum up the 'delv_qty param by material etc.

Visual Composer 7.0-Change the Y-axis from decimal scale value to integer

Hi Experts,
I'm new in Visual Composer 7.0, my report is work fine, but when I want to show the data in bar-chart, the values on y-axis are 0.0, 0.4.0.8,1.2,1.6.2.0 but i want like 1,2,3,4.
Normally, this happen when values on y-axis less than 5, if more than 5, it will turn to 1,2,3,4. (which i expected)
Inside my function module, I set all the data as integer already..
I read through some suggestions in the forum, they suggest using 'Fixed range' and set the interval size, but need to include min & max value. But, inside my program, min value & max value has to be automatically adjusted, ie i can not set the values for those.
Please suggest solution for me, need it urgently..
Thanks a lot!

Derrick

Hi,
first of all: please close this post. It is definitely the wrong forum. Your second thread regarding this is in the right forum.
Secondly: SDN Moderators prefer to move threads from one forum to another instead of having duplicated posts. You as a user cannot move but moderators can do - so contact your forum moderator and he may move it.

Hi All,
I'm sorry but this seems to me impossible to do.
In general - not necessarily for this case - there is the option to create your own Flash Components and integrate them into VC, so you could overcome such limitations.

Pie Charts causing Design mode to give warning and not preview the app

I am using the final release. I have pie charts in my app. I
also have column charts. Both are fed data the same way. Both work
as expected when i build the app, and there are zero errors in the
app. however, i was experiencing an issue in flexbuilder where in
design mode, a vague warning was issued and the preview could not
be displayed (blank except for very gernal 'outlines' of the layout
and controls)
I narrowed the problem down to the pie charts. Is anybody
experiencing this problem? The application worked as expected, and
previewed as expected in Design mode when previewd/built in Beta
3.

Hi masavran,
For this issue, it's related to the render environment (browser/application). On Reporting Services side, we don't have any properties to change the resolution for chart to make it smoothly. We suggest you post this thread on Visual Studio forum
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=visualstudiogeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
Or the forum of corresponding browser.

How to write plan data into Transactional Cube from Visual Composer ?

Dear experts,
Visual Composer is very powerfull to build a 'nice-looking' web-report (I think is much better than Web Application Designer in term of freely position the chart/graph/table/selection parameter in anywhere we like. We can't have this flexibility in WAD) plus it also has strong integration to R/3 for posting the transactions via RFC-Enabled Function Module (such as changing customer credit limit, approve PO, approve Sales Order, etc), so that the R/3 user won't even have to know the TrxCode.
In addition to this, I just wondering if VC also capable to write plan data into transactional cube via Write-Enable Query. We can simply insert a BW Query into VC as planning layout (set the edit-mode to "editable") plus having some Wizards to make it more user-friendly and self-explanatory for the users.
But I am not sure how to save the changes back to transactional cube from VC.
Could anyone please kindly advise how to achieve this.
"Seeing is believing" is always my learning method, so I would appreciate some "actioanable" explanation or hints.
Many thanks,
Sen

Hi Sen,
As far as I know, it's not possible to write data into transactional cubes directly from a table in Visual Composer through standar method, but it's possible to integrate a WAD with your input ready query into a URL element in VC (You can fill entry variables in VC and call WAD dinamically), so it's possible to create a planning application in VC calling dinamically WAD's.
Another way to interact through VC is creating button objects that calls planning sequences (with BAPI calling RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE). Also can fill variables in VC and pass them to sequence.

Pie Chart legend label icon

Hi, is it possible to change the label icons of a Pie Chart legend? I have a pie chart with genre distribution % and would like to set the male and female genre icons instead of the color.
Thank you

Hello Pedro,
in general you can' t change the label icons in SSRS - I assume you mean with "label icons" the small colored rectangles indicating each of the sections in a pie chart. But I have a workaround for you: Simply not to use the build-in labeling mechanism
of the chart, but to create an individual textbox with the needed symbols for your purposes. In that textbox you have to set an expression for showing the needed male or female symbols as Unicode-chars. There's a text function for that, I mean something like
"=ChrW(&XXX)" is the appropriate expression. XXX has to be the character string of the Unicode-chartset, if you want e.g. the male symbol as an icon. Unfortunately, I can't post links, but it's quite easy to find via Bing or Google the needed
chars or signs in the Unicode-Table (use e.g. "Unicode table" as search string and you find a great site for retrievaling chars and symbols in the Unicode-Table).
Generally spoken, I wouldn't use pie charts at all, normally bar charts are the better choice in visualizing data - with bar charts it's easier to recognize skales than in a pie chart and you can often label bars in a direct way, so you don't need an extra
legend.
I hope I could help you, but feel free to ask me, if yo have further questions

CRVS2010 Beta 2 Pie chart legend displaying "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"

Instead of displaying "Total" at the bottom of my pie chart legend I am getting the following text: "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"
The values and percentages calculate correctly, but the label is unusual.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my pie chart. My report was fine before I did my update to CRVS2010 Beta 2. I was using crystal report 11.5.
My report is really simple. I have a resume chart that you can drilldown. Each drilldown show the same chart for the selected
item.
I'm using Windows 7 Professionnel 64 bit in french (canada version).

Hi. Friends. Unable to Pass Parameters in Visual Composer

Hi.
             Currently we are working with Visual Composer. Our
scenario is like we have developed 3 Iviews in one page. we
could be able to get result also.
                    But our scenario is like whatever the values we
give in First Iview, those same values we should also get in
second and third Iview.
                  For Example we have plant and vendor, If we give
or submit some values in First application, those values
should also come as in second Iview.
                 we are getting result for First Iview and second and even third also If you run Individually. But whatever the values we give in First Iview, those are not taking in second Iview as default values.
                  What we have tried is 1) we have considered URL(Hyper Link Option)
                                                   2) Data Store
                                                    Kumar. B.

Hi Omer,
               Thanks for the immediate feedback and also for the solution.We have got the result with the following way by giving the single values to fields in URL.ex plant - 8302 and material_type=z001.
In the same way we have tried the same by following the document "Drilldowns in VCModels" 17th page "DRILLDOWN TECHNIQUE#5: Chart or Table > any parameterized URL " i.e https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0127853-23a2-2910-30ad-c1873643c504
for our requirement.
As you know our requirement was to pass the parameters of first iview.So in the first iview we have used in a button hyperlink action in which we have given the second models URL prefixed the following parameter string .
&_paramsXmlStr_=<Params><Row Material_type="#ID[ACA8HN]@Material_type" Plant="#ID[ACA8HN]@Plant"></Row></Params>
If i give this above one in 1st iview,it is not getting compiled.So we have encoded to
&_paramsXmlStr_=%3CParams%3E%3CRow%20Material_type%3D%22&#ID[ACA8HN]@Material_type&%22%20Plant%3D%22&#ID[ACA8HN]@Plant&%22%3E%3C/Row%3E%3C/Params%3E
even without "&" in params for the values in above string.Even then its not bringing the values what we have given in first iview.
Could you please let us know where we are going wrong.

Graphic labels in Visual Composer

Hİ all,
Is there any possibility to show the labels on data series for the column or line graphics in Visual Composer?
Thanks..

Hi
There is no exact Solution but there is work around for this. Follow the steps -
1. Create necessary chart with fix 'Value Range' & define Min & Max Values.
2. Select Chart type & Add necessary 'Data Series' for the chart.
3. Drag one form from same data service (from which chart is created)
4. IN the form Create Expression Box & lebels as per your requirement & assign the 'Formula' for the respective field in 'Properties -> General Tab' of the expression Box.
5. Arrange th styles for the expression box & Save.
6. Arrage the form size & Expression box size so that it will look like lable.
7. Make the 'Frame Style' of the 'Form' as 'Transperent'
8. Save & Deploy the model.
THis is not exact solution so you need to arrange layout of the chart & form very carefully otherwise it will not look good.
If you are facing any issues then, let me know.

BI SAP Query Connector Heatmap Error - Empty display in Visual composer

Hi,
I am trying to create an Heatmap iview in SAP Visual Composer using BI SAP Query Connector.
While using the Heatmap template, we are able to see the data but finally when we deploy and run the iview we see empty screen.
Any inputs is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sreeram

Hi,
thanks for your time and help. Its a relevant blog but unfortunately doesnot solve my problem.
I am using BI SAP Query Connector system instead of BI JDBC. While creating the Heatmap I am able to select the fields and see the output in table format, but finally the chart is not appearing. its blank.
IGS is configured correctly, able to reach backend to select tables, select fields. After deployment and when the ivew is run I dont even see any heatmap, but a blank container.
Please suggest if you have any clues regarding this.

Dynamic pie chart

Hi,
I would to create a chart that looks like a pie chart, in the form of a clock. I am struggling to come up with a good way to do this.
The clock represents 24 hours.
Each element (slice of the pie) within the chart represents a scheduled event, for example:
            7a-8a   Morning show
            8a-9a   Break
            9a-10a Morning show
            10a-11a Break
            11a-12n Morning show
            12n-1P Break
            1p-2p    Afternoon show
            2p-3p    Break
            3p-4p    Afternoon show
            4p-5p    Break
            5p-6p    Afternoon show
            6p-7p    Break
            7p-8p    Evening show
            etc.... to fill 24 hours
If there were 24 elements within the day, there would be 24 pie slices, regardless if there were duplicate elements.
I would want to color code the same events within the day.
All the Morning Show pieces of the pie would be one color, all the Afternoon Show pieces would be another
Color; all the Break events would be another color.
To complicate matters, the number of slices will vary. One client might have slices be as small as 30 seconds, another an hour.
My plan was to build the chart dynamically..have each pie slice be uniquely named ("break7"), and its value be a % of the total. Set the color based on a part of the name ("break"), setting the value for that color as >= to 0. I have yet to figure out how to do tags for each pie slice.
my questions are
1) can I get into the chart from vs2008, cr2008 sp2, and vb.net and set these values?
2) any thoughts/suggestions on a better way to create this chart?

This will not be a trivial undertaking and to be honest, I am not sure if it is possible.
1) The place to start is with the designer. Can you actually create such a report there? If not, you will not be able to do so at runtime either. If you need help creating such a chart, post your query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum. Also, once the chart is created in the designer, it will probably be much easier to modify it on the fly as opposed to creating it from scratch in code.
2) You will not be able to use the CR SDK for .NET as the APIs that control the charts are limited. See KBase [1425910 - What are the limitations of modifying a chart in a Visual Studio .NET application?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] for more details.
3) You will have to use the RAS InProc SDK for .NET. Links that will help you get started with RAS:
