Pie - Chart Web Part - Label Alignment empty

Hello all,
I create lots of Dashboards to display KPIs for my company and I always struggle with the pie chart labels as the always end up overlapping unless I rotate them but that just looks naff.
My frustration and question is that the "Label Alignment" option is empty and therefore does not allow me to select "Open" which is the feature I seek.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be and if there is a work around?
Thank you in advance
Jessica

You would potentially run into this with lookup fields as well, I believe. I would make a column that is single line of text for the purpose of the chart. That would make sure the NUM;# is removed.

SP2010: Different colors for chart bars in Chart Web part with single data series?

Hello,
I've been asked to create a chart for visual display and summary of Status values within a SharePoint list of job positions. The list of positions includes a Status field with the only values being Open and Closed. I created a page that shows the list, and
at the top I inserted a Chart Web part that displays two bars - one showing the number of Open positions and one showing the Closed positions. Because I was having difficulty getting the totals for each Status value to show up in the chart, I followed
the instructions at
http://highbrowse.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/chart-counts-from-sharepoint-lists/ and pointed my chart at the new "Status values" list - this worked well to display the sum counts for each of the two Status values in separate bars.
This was all fine and good, except that because I am only using one data series for my chart, both of the bars (for Open and Closed) show up as the same color. I've been asked to make them different colors but cannot figure out how to do so. Can someone
provide guidance on how I could make the two bars different colors? Thank you so much.
cheers

Hello,
as far as I know, the chart web part does not have any settings to change the color of individual data points or plot data points of a series in different colors. If you only have two values in the series, you could use a pie chart instead of the column
or bar chart. In a pie chart, the different slices have different colors.

Error in Creating a Chart Web Part Connected to a List-Column named "" already belongs to this DataTable

Hi,
I am trying to create a Chart Web Part that is connected to a list.
I inserted a Chart Web Part on the page.
In Step 1, I chose, Connect to a List.
In Step 2, I chose the List, "QPAPForm"
After I connect to the list (QPAPForm), and I get to step 3 to Retrieve and Filter Data, I have the following error message: "Please correct the following: A column named "Update Policy Tasks" already belongs to this Data Table.
"Update Policy Tasks" is a Workflow used on this list (QPAPForm), but it is not a column value per se.
How do I correct this issue?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi,
I have done a test, and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I created a custom list and an approval workflow which generated an column in the custom list. Then created a Chart Web Part which was connected to the custom list, I didn’t meet any error.
Let’s verify the following:
What template is your List template? what columns does the list has?
What kind of workflow has generated the “Update Policy Tasks” column?
I suggest you re-create the list without workflow and do a test, compare the results.
Best Regards

Changing the first time call to comparison of For Loop = 0, so always start with the value fixed to draw the square.

Chart web part - lookup columns corrupted

Hello,
I am using the chart web part, and if I reference the lookup column, which is last names, it posts both the last names and the number, such as:
42; #LASTNAME
How do I not have it display that number, semicolon and #?
Thanks,

Lookup field contains both title and ID, and to get title only, you need to use Look
var lookupItemValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["lookupfield"].ToString());
value = lookupItemValue.LookupValue;
or you can use substring function to fetch value after semicolon (;)

In-Depth Chart Web Part References

I have look at the available chart web part online manuals such as the one below and but it does not provide in-depth answers about the various chart options or how best to use web charts part.
I would appreciate the title of a publication that really explains the web chart part and how to construct charts. I thought it would allow building charts like in XL but not so. The help below is one-dimensional forcing one to play and play with the part
to attempt divine how it works. Thanks.

On Pie chart rotation - the labels disappear

I am using followig to rotate a pie chart:
<mx:Rotate id="rotate" angleFrom="{angle-90}"
angleTo="{angle}"
target="{myChart}"/>
private function rotateImage():void {
rotate.end();
angle += 90;
rotate.play();
<mx:PieChart id="myChart" dragEnabled="true"
dragComplete="rotateImage()">
So, when a user tries to drag the pie chart, the chart
rotates. The
chart rotates fine but the labels disappear? why would this
happen and
any solution to this.
Also, I would like to use some other event for rotation
instead of
dragComplet. I would like to do it when user clicks left
mouse
button+moves the mouse (both on the outside of the chart)
Any suggetions?
Thanks in advance.

Are your fonts embedded? Rotating non-embedded fonts makes
text disappear during rotation.

List web part column alignment: how to change?

I have a wide list web part but all the three columns are aligned to left. So there is a huge white area on the right. Was it like this also in 2010? Can I change it so that the columns would be spread also to right?

Try these steps:
Open the page containing the list web part in Edit mode
Open the web part's settings panel
Set the web part's width as desired

Chart Web Part to not plot zeros on a line graph

Hi all,
Is it possible to not plot zeros on a line graph?
I have a line chart with days of the current month along the x-axis and a value on the y-axis. I have a series representing a forecast as a line that will show what the values along for the whole month should be and a second
line chart series representing the actual. This tells the reader how the actual is tracking against the forecast. The data is based on an excel table.
Currently when the latest value is set the line skews back to 0. I don't want this shown, I just want it left blank. On excel you can change the zeros to na() and the line graph will not plot, however, if I leave them as na() in the source data, the whole
column wont be imported in the chart wizard.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

It's true -- the RangeBar chart type only has two field options (X and Y) while the RangeColumn correctly has an addtional Y field. The RangeBar chart should obviously have two X fields if it's supposed to plot a range, as the name and example image indicate.
Neither this thread or the one linked has led to an answer. Can this be fixed?

Orginization Chart web part seeing duplicate users

Doing a People search, then viewing their profile, the Org Chart shows a persons name twice
The user does not have a My Site.
No duplicates in User Profile Service.
User was not migrated.
People Search shows one result.
2 Accounts in Active Directory. One is disabled.
Clicking on each of them shows a different url path.
/Person.aspx?accountname=EUR%5Chm018512
/Person.aspx?accountname=EUR%5Chm011634
NOTE: Clicking on 011634 url link does nothing.
Any fixes to this one? Thoughts?
Chris

Disabled user accounts appear by default I believe. You can get around this by configuring the synchronisation settings in the UPS and setting up a exclusion filter.
This kb article gives a good set of guidelines on how to achieve this

Chart Web Part - Stacked Column Chart and the Y Field

I am trying to create a stacked chart in Sharepoint.
I am encountering a problem at the "Bind Chart to Data" Step. Retrieval of Data goes without a hitch - all rows and columns are captured and shown, but then when it comes to adding series, the "Y Field" drop down menu only shows one of
my columns. So of course, the final chart only has one data series visible - a normal column chart instead of a stacked one.
What could be the cause of this, and how do I fix it?

Yes, that's right. That is exactly what I want to do.
But, the problem I'm facing is that when it comes time to select the second series settings as:
The second Series settings:
Series Name: Oranges
Series Type: StackedColumn
Series X-Axis Type: Primary
Series Y-Axis Type: Primary
X Field: Day
Specifically >>>>Y Field: Oranges
The Y-field option which appears as
a drop-down menu on the page, does NOT show the option "Oranges". It shows only "Apples" again, and also a blank setting (selecting this also does not cause desired graph to get created).
I want to know HOW to be able to select "Oranges" as the Y-field because I am unable to do so!

Pie chart labels prepended with "@" symbol

Hello
I have a pie chart and it has two values, each of which is a formula
When I view the Pie chart the Data labels and legend are prefixed with @
The Data Value formula name is Open Online, so the data lable on the Pie is @Open Online, as it the legend
It does not look great on the chart
is there any way to use a forumla as a data value in a chart, but to NOT have the @ symbol as part of the name?
This chart is developed in Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
I am using a Pie Chart at the moment, the Pie has 1 On Change Of and 2 Data Values
Best regards
Patrick

I believe if you select the label object on the design page and right-click, you will have the option to edit the label properties.

Who notes you can hard code a value but not alter any dynamic values...

Labels in Pie Charts

Hi,
I have two questions about the behavior of labels in pie charts:
Question 1:
When I format pie chart labels as 'NameandValue', the result in the label pie chart always appears as 'Value' and then 'Name', how can I change this?
Question 2:
I have several pie charts, that overlap labels, how can I customize charts in order for that never to occur?

In order to achieve that you will need to change the pcxml files controlling the pie chart (since the chart is actually produced by the Corda engine)
They are in
\\OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\popbin
and for oc4j in:
\\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\popbin
I don't have all the variables available off the top of my head, but John posted a quite exhaustive list:

Web Part Chart Help

I have set up a Web Part Chart as a bar chart based on Desk Utilisation. Does anyone know if there is a way I can change the colour of an individual bar if the value is greater that a preset figure say 100%.

I don't believe so. Honestly the Chart Web Part is not very good (removed in 2013). I'd suggest exporting the list to excel and saving the .iqy (query) file and use it as a data connection. Then create a PowerPivot chart and save that. Set it to refresh
the data on open. Now you have a better tool for charts.

1)
Add 2 Pie charts in your Report (Align top

Set Background Color Transparency 0%
Set Data Value Presentation value for 1 st (Outside)
Percent for 2nd (Inside)
Make size of the pie as per the value presentation .
