Portfolio (Bubble) Chart Capability

Greetings,
I am trying to create a bubble chart using WAD 3.5, the Portfolio chart type seems to be the most appropriate, but I can not figure out how to get the chart to show the metrics per my specification.
X-Axis - Change in Days
Y-Axis - Change in Value
Z-Axis (Size) - Total Value
Bubble Color - Region
Individual Bubble - Opportunity
The results should be a bubble chart with 4 different series, each series containing a datapoint representing an opportunity.
The bubbles are sized based on the total value of the opportunity and are positioned in the chart based on the shift in days (x axis) and value (y axis) from a previous time period.
The data is not a problem, I have a query with all the relevant characteristics and key figures. The issue is getting the chart to properly chart these items. The closest I can get is with:
Row Fields: Region
Column Fields: Opportunity, Key Figure Structure
When I do this, I do get one 'series' for each region, but all the bubbles for each series get placed at the X-Axis value for the first opportunity. Other attempts have resulted in creation of a series for each opportunity.
Thanks.

The frustrating part of this - is that the "Chart Wizard" view in Web App Designer shows exactly this scenario when previewing the Portfolio chart design - a few color-coded series, each containing multiple datapoints, with varying bubble sizes places on the chart based on key figures on the X and Y axes. I can not figure out how to get any query to replicate this.

Changing bubble chart to get a portfolio analysis?

Hello,
I am trying to get a portfolio analysis chart into XCelsius.
For that I am trying a workaround via a bubble chart.
My problem is that a usual portfolio chart has its own axis labels and does not have numerical values on its axis.
e.g. the caption for "low" "medium" "high" as seen on this picture:
http://www.1000ventures.com/design_elements/selfmade/strategy_formulation_ge_matrix_6x4.png
Is there any possibility to set such axis label values inside the bubble chart?
I would like to avoid setting extra labels because the dashboard user should be able to choose how many fields he wants.
Thank you
Edit: Another question about the bubble chart:
When I increase the size of one bubble, it actually does not become bigger, but the other bubbles become smaller. I suggest it has something to do with the marker size set to the chart.
Is there any way to get one buuble bigger without influencing other bubbles?

"Is that my only option?"
You asked:
"How do I make the proper adjustment to get an accurately depicted pie chart?"
Numbers will chart the information that you supply.
If your spreadsheet supplies the negative values, and those values are sent to cells included in the group selected for the chart, then those values, ignoring the sign, will be included in the chart.
If you don't want those values included in the chart, then 'the proper adjustment' is to not supply the chart with those values.
You can do that using Badunit's formula, or this version:
=IF(B<0,"",B)
Different appearance on the table, but the same appearance on the chart as with BU's formula.

Limit on number of series in bubble charts?

Hello all,
I need to use a bubble chart in one of my visualizations (Xcelsius Engage 2008, Excel model only - no live connection), showing gross sales and margin for 13 categories series. If I map the series(es) individually, then they all show on the legend, and the graph limits change as I use the list box selector to choose the particular customer, but no bubbles - or any indication of data points - show up on the graph.
If, however, I choose to map to a range, I do see data points - but only for the first 6 of the 13 categories. I've checked the cell range to ensure all 13 categories are included in the selection, and they are, but - again - only 6 show up, or get mapped to the "series" box.
I've resized to cover more real estate, thinking perhaps Xcelsius just didn't want to display bubbles on a smallish graph field, but with no change in the display results. I have a tree map linked to the exact same data, in the same location, and it works just fine. But nobody likes the tree map; they want bubbles.
Am I missing something, or is there a limit on the number of series a bubble chart is capable of displaying?

Two swfs showing the difference and the xlf are located at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9e4101c4b4a3cdc1d2db6fb9a8902bda. Check under the "AEL" tab.

Thank you for the response, Javier. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite answer the problem.
I have tried mapping the series individually. While the interface will capture all of the label data, the graph itself does not show any data points when switching to preview mode, or exporting to another file type. (See "Manual Series.swf" at the link in my initial post for a visual).
The X and Y axes are correct, and do adjust depending on the customer selected in the list box, but, again, no bubbles show up. Is there something else I'm missing, or not doing correctly? I have an evaluation copy - perhaps it is a limit in the eval copy that would disappear upon registration of a full license?

Is there a way to draw gridlines at a specific point on a bubble chart?

I'm using Xcelsius 4.5 and (trying to) creating a bubble chart. I am using static min/max values for the x and y axes, but rather than drawing the gridlines in 1 or 2 divisions (i.e. the midpoint), I want to draw a grid line (both x and y) at a specific point -- is there any way to designate this point in Xcelsius?

I figured it out - I just adjusted my formula to draw the min/max such that my intersection is always the midpoint

How to change the colors for individual bubbles in a bubble chart?

I have a report where in a bubble chart needs to be shown with different colors for bubbles available in the chart. I cant find any option to select individual bubbles and format the color options.
Any guidance or suggestions solving this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks JB for your reply, I see in format chart data there is are two sections:
1. Positional
2. Conditional
In Positional - I have the type and color changes for the bubbles but if I change any color in that all the bubbles are simultaneously getting the same color code.
Not sure if there is any other setting. Please share me your thoughts on this.
Thanks again

Bubble chart - problem with overlaying bubble

Hi all,
I have problem with bubble chart. Two bubbles are overlaying, that wouldn't be a problem, but one of this two bubbles is bigger and other is smaller. This smaller is beneath bigger. Why smaller is not on top of bigger? How to solve this?
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
We have experienced similar problems, however they usually were with much larger models (10+ tabs, 10+ components in each).
If you're using a lot of data or more intensive processes/components, that may have caused the problem to express earlier, though.
The best recommendation is to keep Tabset use shallow: don't embed containers within containers, not too many components in a tab, not too many tabs.

Bubble Chart

Hi!
Is there any way to control the bubble size in a chart? I would like to make the bubbles smaller because they're too close. The actual size makes a bubble occupies a piece of another bubble.
I have changed the value of bubblePercentSize in XML (Advanced tab), but it didn't change anything in my report.
Thanks.

translate the cartesian x/y coordinates to the canvas . . . When the chart graphs the point, it is set to the proper location unlike the behavior in BubbleChart.For some reason the bubble chart seems to require that the node you set for your data extends from Region. By default BubbleChart uses a StackPane to represent data points. If you just use a Shape like a Circle, it will not get it's layout adjusted correctly, but if you use (for instance a custom StackPane), it will at least end up in the right place. However, any custom nodes you set for the BubbleChart seemed to be squashed (e.g. they don't retain their original proportion) and I couldn't work out how to override that behaviour, which is why "I couldn't get it to work well".
Effectively I have the BubbleChart I was looking for by using ScatterChart, go figureNice thinking outside the box. Happy you got your solution.
Don't hesitate to log an issue at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/ (you can link back to this forum thread).
I think others will likely run into the same issues as the chart package receives wider use.

Bubble chart in Xcelsius

Hi,
I am building a report which uses the below data
Region______Verticals________calyear____Revenue
APJ________Banking_________2007_____10
EmEA______Insurance________2008_____20
Central______Media___________CAGR____6.8
I need to have 3 filters for Region, Verticals and calyear
in the calyear filter I need to show only the values 2007 and 2008 but not CAGR
on this data I need to build a bubble chart where it takes Revenue values in x axis CAGR in Y axis ,intially the default value for revenue should be 2007 on the chart and in the filter
How do I need to arrange the data in excel for building this report
Please help me out

For the filter, you just need to exclude the row containing CAGR from the filter's source data. However the data set you've provided is somewhat confusing since the value of CAGR under your "calyear" column does not actually represent a numerical year. This might be an issue with the bubble chart since the bubble chart represents 3 dimensions that have to be numeric.
Perhaps you can use a line chart and have CAGR as the Y axis label. Make the plot series appear as bubbles and remove the connecting lines in the appearance settings.

Bubble chart in OBIEE 10g

Is there any way to increase the bubble size of bubble chart in obiee 10g? Like whether we can use javascript or HTML Code to achieve it?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
But I cannot understand your point. My requirement is something different. In the X axis I have project_number and y axis I have measures like budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the vertical chart gives me the summarize view. Now for a particualr project say AA, I can see three vertical bars showing budget,commitment & incurred_cost. Now the requirement is if I click on budget bar it will popup a new window showing related details of budget which is a different report, if click on commitment bar it will open commitment report in another window and so on.
I am not able to implement this like multiple navigation from a bar chart.
Can you please help on how to do this in OBIEE 10g.
Thanks
Titas

Hi Sirisha
Although this is a Flex based chart on the website it is not an Xcelsius dashboard so this formatting cannot be done.
