Problem with Stacked area chart

Hi all,
I'm working on delivery data according to month having input(combo) as the year. I'm trying to display the data in percentages in Stacked area chart having series as ontime delivery, 1 week late, 2 weeks late,........5 weeks late and category labels as months. The problem is when I take the Preview of data I get to see the data for ontime, 1 week , 2 week as it should be but when I hover the mouse over the 2 weeks data area mouse over values shows 5 weeks data(0 %) where as in reality the colored area belongs to 2 weeks data. I tried to delete 5 weeks series data and now it shows as 4 weeks data.
What could be the problem ?
Thanks

Thanks for the answer regarding dates. I'm still awaiting an answer on the following part of my question:
"My problem is that I am trying to configure a stacked area chart to show various related financial figures over the period of a year or more. My problem with a regular stacked area chart is that because of the large number of data points (daily) the X axis becomes far too chaotic with the large number of labels. The obvious option seems to be to use the "Show time scale" option in axis settings, however when you chose this option the "Date axis area" chart type is automatically chosen and this chart type doesn't seem to allow stacking. Can anybody help?"
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,

Problems with stacked bar chart in Java SDK and CRDesigner

Hi @ll,
I have an issue with the rendering of stacked bar charts through the Java SDK and the CRDesigner. unfortunately, my research in this forum and with the help of aunt google didn't lead to success.
These are my problems:
I have a stacked bar chart which, when datasets/stacks increase in number per bar, displays errors:
1.) the single stacks of the bar merge together randomly and form bigger stacks with the sum of the singles. the information of single stacks gets lost in the bar.
2.) the total sum of all singles is bigger than the maximum value on the y-axis displays. thus, the scaling is wrong.
1.) appears in the CRDesigner as well as in the Java SDK
2.) only occurs in the Java SDK
Is there any trick to turn the random merging of slices off?
Is the false scaling a known issue and is there a bugfix/workaround?
many thanks for all advice
Tom

hi folks,
i found the answer to the above problems:
when you specify the recordfields that are responsible for the change to the next stack or bar, the 'stack' fields have to be unique.
in my case i evaluated durations in msec (as stacks) from different devices (as bars). randomly i had the same durations for one device. what happens is, that CR does not notice a change and accumulates to the first stack with the same duration.
surprisingly this also seems to derange the axis scaling. fix the problem by simply using an overall unique recordfield like rownum or a formula that forms the current timestamp to text as identifier for the stacking.
cheers

Problem with Stacked Bar Chart

I have a problem with a stacked bar chart in Numbers 09. My chart is a single series with 6 categories. All of the categories have different values. The first 5 categories display correctly. However, the last category does not display in the color its supposed to, but rather shows up as white/background instead of the grey color shown on the legend. However, the value label is displayed in the proper place.
When I select other chart types (pie, regular bar, or regular column) the category shows up like it's supposed to.
This is kind of annoying since I would rather use stacked bar instead of a pie chart. Is there an upper limit on the number of values it can display as a stacked bar chart? Is this just a bug? Thanks!

Here's my result with six values in a single series. I double clicked the last bar to change its colour from the default grey (which was visible) to magenta.
Numbers 2.0.3, iBook G4, OS X v10.4.11
(Shot in the dark:) Try double clicking the value label, then changing the order position of this item.

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.

Chart - problem with stack

Hello,
Ive got 3 problems with stack plots:
1. In the legend, the first value of table is the last one, why?
2. Always when i remove one value(in this case i turn off button), the last chart is remove
3. When I turn off the second button(rest is on), the plot name in legend is doubled.
Does anyone have an idea what i can do with this?
thanks for any answers.
Solved!

Stacked area chart with start and end dates

Hi,
I'm trying to create a stacked area chart from values that have a start date and an end date. I'd like the area to be drawn as a sum of the values at each x-axis date interval. So if I have data like:
Start
End
Value
2013-01-01      2015-01-01
100
2013-09-01      2014-01-01
200
2013-01-01      2016-01-01
300
What I need is to have the chart show the area y-axis at 400 from the start up to 2013-09-01 where it would rise to 600. At 2014-01-01 it would drop back down to 400 and at 2015-01-01 it would drop to 300 until the end.
Is this possible without calculating the sums for each date beforehand?

Hi Erba,
According to your description, it seems that you need add Start and End fields with the same level (without group relationship) to the x-axis in stacked area chart. As per my understanding, we couldn’t add multiple fields in one group at the same level.
So in order to work around this issue, we can modify the dataset to combine the Start and End field into one filed, then add the new filed to x-axis. For more details, please refer to the steps below:
Modify the dataset with the following query statement:
select Start as date , Value as value
from table_name
union
select [End] as date, (0-Value) as value
from table_name
Drag a Stacked Area Chart to design surface.
Insert value field to Values pane, then modify it with the expression below:
=runningvalue(Fields!vlaue.Value,sum,"DataSet_name")
Insert date field to Category Group pane.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Date Axis Stacked Area Charts

Hi,
I'm just evaluating the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 having had some frustrations with the design restrictions in the basic version that ships with Visual Studio 2008. Particularly important to me is the design features for charting data. A lot of the charts I need to build have daily data points and the dates for these data points are represented as labels on the X axis. My problem has been that when you try and build a report with several months or more worth of data points the X axis is getting way too crowded even to the extent of being unreadable with overlapping labels. I've noticed in the full version that there is a date axis chart type whereby you can alter the scale of the X axis e.g. to only show a date at a frequency once per month or greater resulting in the X axis being readable. This seems to work great for line charts etc, however one of the charts I need is a stacked area chart and unfortunately I can find no options / chart types that allow me to scale the dates on the X axis. I've seen there is a date axis chart for area charts, but there is no option of having this chart type as stacked. I know you can also skip data labels in X axis group options, but the max I can skip is 2 and so that doesn't really help me either.
Is there any way of achieving a stacked area chart with a scaled date axis in Crystal Reports 2008? If not it seems to me that the lack of this feature is a real omission from the product. Even Excel charts can handle this type of chart and I would imagine Crystal Reports charts should be more advanced in its charting capabilities.
Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mark

I have run in to the same problem. I work for a systems integration company and I purchased this software because I have a lot of crystal reports and .NET experience but I have very minimal crystal chart experience. I need to use the charting to display data over time collections. I need to show all data points collected but for some series that I deal with I need to be able to scale the x-axis labels to something that is legible. There is an aftermarket package(CRReports3.5) for $500 more dollars that would enable me to control this but it seems like alot more money for a small piece of functionality that should already be built in. I have Crystal Reports 2008 and am working with visual studio 2008 can someone please tell me is there ANY WAY to achieve this functionality without purchasing additional software? Otherwise this software purchase was worthless for my current project.

Ordering of values in Stacked Area Chart

I have a stacked area chart that I want to order the stack from highest to shortest based on the last year. The area chart has years and schools on the x axis and count one the y-axis. I want to stack based on the last year of the school count.
When I order it in the chart expert, it seems to pick the first year as the criteria to order the stack.
Is there a way I could use some type of formula or something.
Thanks in advance.
Eric

Hi Eric,
As a static solution, you could use specified order.
In the Chart Expert, when you select your field located in the "On change of" list,
and click on the button "Order", you can change the order to: "in specified order"
Another static solution could be to actually create a formula like:
If {My Database Field} = "My Value 1" Then
     1
Else If {My Database Field} = "My Value 2" Then
     2
Else If {My Database Field} = "My Value 3" Then
     3
Then use the formula on the chart, instead of the database field.
And on the Legend, it will display the number like: 1, 2, 3,...
You can then replace the text on the legend by text object with the right heading, or manually create a legend with text objects.
Note that one thing to be careful of, it's if for one group, not all the subgroup are present, then the order will not be retained.
For example:
If I have on my chart the following:
- Country
- Product
With a summary on sales amount.
If I have the following data:
Canada
     - Product 1
     - Product 2
     - Product 4
USA
     - Product 1
     - Product 2
     - Product 3
     - Product 4
Then despite we set a specified order of:
     - Product 1
     - Product 2
     - Product 3
     - Product 4
The chart will display the order of:
     - Product 1
     - Product 2
     - Product 4
     - Product 3
This is happening because the first group on the chart doesn't have all the products, and it will use the element of that sub-group to order the information.
If you know that your data set may not have all the data for a sub-group used on the chart, then none of the above suggestion will work for you, unless you write a stored procedure, or a command object that always returns all the subgroup elements, or you use a subreport technique which is described in the sample report provided in the following knowledge article:
1245204 - Date range in Chart for Crystal for all dates not just those dates with data
The Knowledge Base Article refer to dates, but the same technique applies for any type of data.
Hope this help!

Area charts vs stacked area charts

Hello,
Once again, I think that I have missed something. I can use the area chart component to create a chart with 2 series of data. It looks just like the one I created using the stacked area chart component. I would think that there would be some difference betwwen the 2 chart componens, but I can't see what the difference is, so I'm hoping someone can tell me.
Thank you
Tracy

for the normal chart you have every series in column, but in the stacked chart you have all the series within one column and every series start to count after the pervious one values.
good luck

Crystal 11 Stacked Area Chart Data Start Point X-Axis

I am trying to create a Stacked area chart and by default there is space between the y-axis and the first data point on the x-axis. Is there any way to eliminate this space so that the first data point appears directly on the y-axis?

I found the answer to my question. Uncheck the box "Value Axis Crosses Between Groups" in the "Group (X) Axis Settings" dialog box.

Problem with Stacked Columns in Business Graphics

Hi,
Has anyone used the stacked columns chart type in business graphics? Am facing a problem with this.
I am using the SimpleGraphics example demo with 2 dataseries, the values ranging from 0-10. It works fine if the chart type is Columns (this is default). When I change the chart type to stacked_columns, the graph goes for a toss. The y-axis range automatically changes to 0-1 (values as 0, 0.2, 0.4 ... 1.0) and it does not display stacked columns as expected.
Is there any specific property(s) that need to be set for this chart type?
Appreciate any quick response.
cheers,
Vittal

Hi friend,
See the link below it is having the solution of hiding the columns in smart forms
Hide table columns in smart form?
Create a table to display your values with 12 col and hide the columns based on the idea provided in the link above.
I think this will solve your issue if you still have queries please revert back to me i will help you.

(see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/index.html)
This Situation occurs when i add a second series to the

Please help.

Well,
I've just been struggling for a couple of hours with a cluster bar chart giving the same problem.
The problem is definitely with "ORDER BY".
I guess the graphing chart is taking the sql query as a string and then does some other manipulation on it which ends abnormally when you include the order by clause.
I presume that if you embed the query in a
SELECT * FROM (<actual query with order by>)
it might mitigate the problem.

Problem with Stacked Bar

I need to show details about messages transactions.
I decided to use a Stacked Bar chart to view present number of trans' of different types by their date.
I use this query in all the series:
select null link, sd label, c value
from (select trunc(STARTDATE) sd, count(TRANS_ID) c
from TRANSACTION
where ERROR = 'OK' and MSGTYPE = 'THE_MSG_TYPE_VALUE'
group by trunc(STARTDATE)
order by trunc(STARTDATE) )
the chart is presented, and i thought it's correct. apparently not.
in some msg types it placed its colored column in wrong date (i think it's because it's the only type that has transaction/s in this date). it simply was added to the other columns serially.
the correct (and expected) result was to place it in separate column and not to add it to the other series.
maybe i should add something in the query. if someone encountered this problem, i'd be happy to take advices.

Here's my result with six values in a single series. I double clicked the last bar to change its colour from the default grey (which was visible) to magenta.
Numbers 2.0.3, iBook G4, OS X v10.4.11
(Shot in the dark:) Try double clicking the value label, then changing the order position of this item.

Help with stacked bar charts

Help..................
I am definitely missing something.
I want to do something like the attached, stacked bar chart example. This is pretty much
one of the examples.
What I need is for a horizontal chart instead of a vertical. When I right click the legend and
chose bar charts, it only shows vertical. After messing with this for a couple of hours,
I give.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Stacked Bar Graph.vi ‏43 KB

Another stacked bar graph plea for help!
My scenario: I am recording 3ph current values (red, yellow, blue) on multiple circuits for some electrical tests we do.
I want to present this data on a screen that is most visible from a distance, so the approach I have taken when I last wrote the software in Delphi was to have each 3 ph circuit represented by a 3 channel bar chart where the three channels are stacked front to back in order of magnitude. This allowed me to add multiple 3 channel circuits next to these to fill the screen from left to right.
See attached Excel file to make it clear. I hope!
The main issue I see is that the colour of plot needs to move front to back with the magnitude. ie Red is not always the front plot, it is the 'smallest' of the three plots that stays at the front.
Some tests we do, may have 12 x 3ph circuits of this type which fills the screen up and can make it very busy. Rather than having 36 plots left to right, by stacking them in groups of three, I reduce the left to right number to 12 plots. The screen can then be viewed from a distance much easier.
Any suggestions? I am expecting I will need to write my own routine for this, which if I do, i am quite happy to share when complete.
See (and run) the attached LabVIEW code of my progress so far.
thanks Adam
