Problem creating line chart with character data

Post Author: burkartt
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
CR Developer v. 11.5.0.313
I want to create a line chart with data from a SQL2K table to show how much server time each application uses per day. All data is defined a character.
HWA,4/24/2007,01:44.6HWA,4/25/2007,12.28HWB,4/24/2007,4.6HWC,4/24/2007,55.55HWC,4/25/2007,01:22.3HWE,4/24/2007,01:16.1HWE,4/25/2007,0.59
I want one horizontal line per application where the X-axis represents the date and the Y-axis represents the server time. I have tried all column combinations for "On Change Of" and "Show Value(s)". What confuses me is why are Count and Discount the only Summary Options for the "Show Value(s)" data?
Thank you,
tim

I created a group based on date, day, then created the chart and put it in the group footer, on change of server, show sum of time, you will get a seperate chart for each day. I am not sure if this will help, or will just do. Since you have CR XI, you may want to look at the gauge chart also....

Creating a multi series line chart with different data providers

I have 3 data providers of the same structure i.e ArrayCollection of DataElement and want to use them to create a multiseries line chart. I do not have just 1 dataProvider that can be used but 3 different data providers of the same structure that i want to use each for different series.
[Bindable] private var orangeSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 101000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 960000, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 475000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 425000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
            [Bindable] private var appleSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 991000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 140000, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 565000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 255000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
            [Bindable] private var bananaSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 891000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },

                        { sales: 574000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
I want to create a line chart with orangeSales, appleSales and bananaSales as three different lines on the chart for different dates specified.

            <mx:LineSeries displayName="BananaSales" yField="sales" xField="month" dataProvider="{bananaSales}"/>
        </mx:series>
</mx:ColumnChart>
Please help!

Sorry for the confusion. Actually I must be doing some thing wrong like using ColumnChart to display a line chart or something like that.
I have now realized that a multi series line chart can be built by having a different data provider for each of the LineSeries object.
So the code below would create a multi series line graph :
[Bindable] private var orangeSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 101000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 960000, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 475000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 425000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
            [Bindable] private var appleSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 991000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 140000, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 565000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 255000, month: new Date( '04/01/2008' ) }
            [Bindable] private var bananaSales : ArrayCollection =
                new ArrayCollection(
                    [ { sales: 891000, month: new Date( '01/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 147560, month: new Date( '02/01/2008' ) },
                        { sales: 295000, month: new Date( '03/01/2008' ) },

Want to create Monthly chart with weekly data.

Hi all. I'd like to create a chart that graphs data over the course of a month similar to this:
but where the data for the chart is only gathered once a week. I know from reading in the forums (and trying myself) that if you have missing data fields in your table, you end up with individual points that aren't connected to each other. So I assume that the solution has something to do with how the chart is labeled?
Can someone clue me in on how to build a chart that shows each day (as above), but connects weekly data fields (as below):
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Barry.
It looks like what you're describing is what I've already managed to figure out. The problem I'm having is that I want the bottom row of numbers (currently 3, 10, 17, 24) to be the days of an entire month (ie: March 1-31). Then have the values in the chart correspond to the proper day (3, 10, 17, 24).
Here's what happens if I create a table with all the days of the month, but only weekly fields filled in:
I realize that Numbers doesn't automatically connect the dots when there are empty fields in a table. But I can't seem to get to a point where I can have the graph show the entire month, but with a line connecting each of the weekly values.
I thought that I could do it by creating a custom label for the X axis. Here's what I tried:
But of course that didn't work, because the chart still only shows 4 labels (due to the table only having 4 categories). It just renamed the first four labels.

Line chart with more than 15 data series - color problem

Hi all,
I've built a line chart with 32 data series (user can control, which of them are displayed at a time). For series 16 to 32 I did manipulate the URL in the browser directly, because Application Express does only display parametrs for up to 15 series. This works fine so far except of displaying the colors. For each sieries I defined a different color. 29 of my 32 series are displayed in the desired color. But series 29, 31 and 32 are displayed in a default-color (#0099CC). It seems that this is a SVG-problem. In the SVG-source I find the wrong color. When I export my application, I see the right color.
Thanks for help,
Chris

Hello,
Which version of APEX are you using?
Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

Charts with Multiple Data Series in One Color

I am trying to create a pie chart to reflect the different areas of my budget in four categories. However, my budget is divided into several smaller categories across several columns and I can only get the cells in the first column to register even though the additional cells show up in the Inspector as part of the series.

Jerry,
Thanks for the info. I'll give that a read when I get home today. In a roundabout way I tried part of that. I created my chart with my data for Mammallia and the time periods. Then I selected the occurrences for Synapsids and dropped them in, but it added them to the first data set in the chart? I'm guessing I was doing something wrong, but I'm unsure of what. Numbers/Excel has never been a strong subject for me, but I'll try your advice and see what I come up with.
Reading your post again, the last way seems the most simple and I feel a little foolish for not thinking of that myself. Oh well, that's how we learn right? Thanks for your help!! You saved me a lot of hassle.
Best regards,
Mitch

How to create a chart with dates?

I've created a table with projects I have to deliver and the date they were delivered. I would like to create a chart from this data - however I can't figure out how to use date in the chart.
Ideally the chart would work with the date (lets say from jan 01 to april 5) on the x-axis and the project on the y-axis. And a line that goes from time A (which marks the initial part of the project) to the time B (which marks the delivery date) defined on the table.
Is it possible?
heres a pic of what i mean:

Hi Jerry,
I'm ALMOST there! If you could help me with one last thing it would be amazing. I've uploaded my number project and you can downloaded it on the link bellow, if you prefer.
I managed to do the same idea chart as you have. However I would like to have two bars for every JOB (y-axis). On my table i've inputed for every job 4 values = START DATE that was scheduled / Duration period scheduled (this happens prior to the job itself // START DATE Delivered / Duration Period Delivered (this is the actual time the JOB took place). This way I can see at the end of a JOB if I worked during the period I planned.
using your example on the chart above (your reply) Could Proposal have a bar 1.0 / 4.0 - and bellow this bar have another one (with different colours) that went from 2.0 / 5.0 - for example? - the first one representing the "scheduled dates"and the second one representing what actually happened.
I managed to do the four bars but couldnt manage to have them bellow each other.
Tks again for your help

How to limit data range in a Line chart with Time Refresh Control

Hi All,
I have a Line chart with Time Refresh Control and I would like to make some constraints to this navigation.
For example, I would like to limit the user to navigate in a data range of 8 hours.
Is this posible?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pedro,
as far as I know, this is not possible using the time controls on an iChart. However, you may have some success by using your own time controls which call JavaScript methods exposed by the applet.
For example, you could begin by hiding the time and calendar buttons on an iChart, and creating some buttons of your own. For instance, to set the start date of a query (and thus the start date of the iChart using the query), you can use the following:
document.getElementById("appletID").getQueryObject().setStartDate(<date string>);
Using code like the above (look into the xMII script assistant and documentation), you should be able to build time controls which satisfy your requirements. The exact format of <date string> in the sample above will depend on the date format defined in the query template this script calls.
Hope this helps,
Sascha

Creating SVG Chart with multiple lines

Hi All,
I want to create a chart with multiple lines.
Ex: I have one emp table with empno, sal and deptno columns.
I want to print deptno in x axis and no of employees on y axis.
I want to print one line for employees with sal > 15000 and one more line for employee with sal =< 15000
So one line will show no of employees with sal more than 15000 for each dept. Similar case for the other line and these 2 lines should be in different colors.
For one line the query will go as
select link, deptno, count(empno)
from emp where sal > 15000 group by null, deptno
Is this possible to draw this chart?
Thanks,
Manoj

I wasn't able to do something like what you describe, but I was able to do this:
I defined column A of the table as a Header Row, selected the cells in the table, and chose this chart type (2D 2 Axis):
Then I clicked the chart and in the pane at the right checked 'Axis Name' in the Axis tab and added the axis names.
Maybe this can give you an idea of how you can illustrate the relationships that you want to show.

Line Chart with Multiple Series

Post Author: JayZee
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
HI
I am trying to create a line chart with multiple series for trend analysis on CR XI but not having much luck, I thought it would be so simple to do!
My data is provided summarized on the server and is returned as 12 rows:
Month Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5January 100 80 75 90 120February 85 25 40 25 80etc for the rest of the months
My problem is that I can only get the chart to accept the values to display as a summary and not just as the data pulled back from the server. I have read an article on the support site for Crystal 6.0 but it doesn't seem to translate well into XI.
If necessary I could redesign the table to bring back un-summarized data but that is quite a big job.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Jay

In the chart expert, put Month in the 'On change of' box and put each year in the 'Show values' box. This puts the month on the x-axis and plots each year as a line.
Is that what you want?
I did this in CR 2008 using your data in an Excel sheet.

Line Chart with more than 15 datapoints

I'm using Apex 3.1.
I am trying to create a line chart with more than 15 data points. Apparently 15 is the default. Question is, How do I change the default?
The Wiki has advice for changing the "Maximum Rows" parameter, but "Maximum Rows" is not to be found, either in the chart attributes or series attributes.
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ChartIssues
I have encountered this limitation with SVG line charts and Flash line and scatter charts. Seems like it must be an easy thing to figure out; I feel embarassed asking such a question. But I've been through all the application property pages, much of the documentation, and several tutorials... Where can I change this? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks
Fred

Line chart with 2 different y axis

hi,
i have a question on line chart in apex. i'm using apex 4.2. is it possible to generate a line chart with 2 different y axis? here's a sample data to illustrates what i'd like the chart to look like.
date price percent
1/1 1 100
1/2 2 90
1/3 3 80
1/4 4 70
the x-axis will be the date column. the left y-axis would be the price column. and the right y-axis would be the percent column.
i know i can plot multiple lines in a chart thru different series. but they're based on the same x and y axis range. thanks
jim

You beat me to it.
One of the problems I'm having is that the begining and ending point(s) coincide. So, instead of two completely separate lines, I have an area bounded by the series 1 line on top and the series 2 line on the bottom. Since the points overlay, the values of those points also display one on top of the other. I'll have to see if there is a way to separate the series. I've had 3 separate series before, but never with two y-axis.

Howard

Plot empty point in line chart with previous non empty value

Hello,
I have a problem to plot series data in SSRS line chart, with the empty point, I don't want use average and zero provided by the report builder, I want use the last non empty data to fill the empty point, tried to use expression =Previous(Field!Value), no
luck, any one have some good idea?
P.S. do not want to use query to fill the null with previous non null value, just from the performance point view. at last , the chart should have some line as square wave with different height, if I use average for empty point, it shows slop wave line which
is not reflect the real production.
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
In Reporting Services, if the chart type is a linear chart type (bar, column, scatter, line, area, range), null values are shown on the chart as empty spaces or gaps between data points in a series. By default, empty points are calculated by taking the average
of the previous and next data points that are not null.
If we want to use previous value to replace the empty value, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the field which displayed in Y axis (Height) to open the Series Properties.
In the Value field to modify the expression to look like this:
=iif(isnothing(Sum(Fields!Height.Value)),previous(sum(Fields!Height.Value)),sum(Fields!Height.Value))
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

JavaFX, Display Line Chart with additional text

Hello:
I am new to Java and JavaFX. I have been able to create a line chart that has four series using example code from the Oracle Javafx Documentation home. Below is the syntax used to create the line chart once the series info has been populated:
Scene scene = new Scene(lineChart,800,600);
lineChart.getData().addAll(series1, series2, series3, series4);
When I display the chart, I would also like to display additional text.
My chart measures four different averages by month. I would like to use the text to give more info about each series (ex: 6 month and 1 year total avg for each series). The Line Chart and the text that I want to add do not need to be related. I will calculate the 6 & 12 month avg and list it in the text separately.
I am struggling to find a way to display the line chart with a separate text field. If anyone can point me to some sample code that does something similar I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi,
My data points in my line chart are an average for a single month for each series.
Ideally I would like a table as shown below centered under the Line Chart if possible (I was unable to use underscores or spaces to build the example. The + signs would really just be a line and the ' are used for spaces):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++``````````````++``Series 1```++```Series 2```++``Series 3```++``Series 4``++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++6 Month Avg````++```5.6`````++``````7.8 ```++ ````4.8`````++`````8.4``++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++12 Month Avg```++```6.9`````++``````9.3 ```++ ````2.5`````++```5.7````++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Line chart with different "colors": Values not available are displayed as 0

Hello,
I defined a line chart with more than one lines (aka "colors" in the chart wizzard) - each line representing the (monthly) values of a year. x axis are the 12 months of the year; y axis are the values.
When one defines such a line chart in BIP client there is a choice between sum, average and count for the data values.
This is no problem for my template as there is only one value per month/year - so I used sum.
The problem: for the actual year there are no values for future months . But bip nevertheless shows 0 for this month/year... Can one prevent this?
Regards
Peter

Solved it finally - unavailable values must explicitly be passed to the report with nothing contained in the value tag.

Flash line chart with multiple lines

Here a newbie with apex...
Created a flash line chart with as source the following sql statement:
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
group by year
a chart has been created with a single line. i wanted every year on an own line.
The way i could do this is with multiple series like:
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
where year =2008
select null link, year, sum(total_cost) from cost
where year =2009
But this not a good solition, cause now i've to add every year a new serie
hope to get some help from here... txn in advanced.

tnx for your reply...
I will explain myself more by a picture of the wanted result, see below:
[Click here for the example image|http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3444/grapha.jpg]
In your reply you wright you think i can create the graph with pl/sql process. After seeing my example you still think that's needed?
Hope you or some else can help... tnx in advanced.
