Render a trending line chart that tracks 5 values over 13 weeks

I want to create a line chart that display a trend for 5 categories over 13 weeks. Can someone give me an idea of how the view context would be designed for this at design time?
I'm new to web dynpro so i hope this makes sense. Would the view context appear similar to this?
ChartData (node)
--CategoryType (value attribute)
--Wk1Value
--Wk2Value
--Wk3Value
--(wk4 through wk13Value)
Thank you,
julian

Crystal Reports is a database reporting tool, thus Crystal's charting engine plots data FROM the database.
Excel is not; one can manually add values to Excel then plot those values on a chart in Excel.
So if they only have 5 weeks worth of data being pulled in to CR they'll get a chart for 5 weeks.
Suggestion: Report off the excel spreadsheet and pull that data in along with the Excel chart.

Line chart showing final value only?

Is there a way to have a line chart that shows the value against the final data point only?
eg something like this
----------------------74
instead of
1----13----28---42----74
Thanks

Thanks I appreciate your comments and agree I will have to put some effort in, I tend to try and work things out I need by messing around when I need a specific function or have a specific thing I want to do and focus on that without perhaps learning the underling basics.
I've been spoiled by Excel, there is a lot of stuff its significantly easier (for me anyway) to do without undergoing any learning curve at all, with wizards for functions (for example) and in many cases if you right click on something you can alter it right there, rather than having to go up to the inspector and work out which of umpteen functions the bit you want to alter is hidden in. If the inspector was a person, I would have strangled them to death by now
I'm not sure if this is my Mac or what, but if I go into numbers help and type anything in, I just get the spinning thing next to the magnifying glass, but it never comes back to me. It works OK if I follow links. For example I just typed 'charts' in help and hit enter, 5 minutes later I"m still waiting. Doesn't increase my confidence I'll have to look into that and see whats going on.
Thanks to everyone for your help, the guys will be impressed with the new chart !

How to adjust x axis of line chart for dynamic values from universe

Dear All,
I am new to SAP Dashboard. I got one requirment that, user will pass single value to universe using prompt in Dashboard. Based on that prompt value / input parameter, universe will deliver data to plot line chart in my canvas. But, on every request i will get different count from universe. Like for request A = 30 records, request B = 56 records, request C = 2 records and so on.
Based on the count, i want to display line chart in my canvas which will auto fit the screen. (Auto adjustment of X axis e.g For A, last record on x axis should be 30, for B = 56 and for C =2). Please let me know, how can i achive this task?.
Note : i know, how to plot simple line chat with fix count.

This is based on the output you get for the selection, get in touch with the functional team and get an idea about maximum no of result set will appear on various selection options. Say example if the functional guy says around 100 then go ahead and map 100 cells for the series.
Then as arijit said you can use the ignore blank cell option to eliminate the blank rows in the selection.
Note: Eliminating blank cells will always work at the end of the rows, not in the middle of the rows.

Line chart - add 3rd value to each datapoint

I have a chart with stock trades:
http://www.psychobanker.com/main.php
I'd like to add the name of the person who made the trade to each value so that when the user hovers with the mouse over the chart, he can see who made the trade. How can I achieve this? Adding another value to the arrayCollection has no effect. The chart always only displays the xvalue and yvalue.
thanks

Hi,
Use dataTipFunction.
Here is a an example .It has PieChart, but you can do the same thing with line chart.

Line Chart - number of values it can chart

Is there a limit to the number of values the line chart is able to chart? It appears when too many results are returned the chart truncates the last data points. When I look at the data all values are present but the chart only charts the first ? values.

Sam,
How many values are you trying to plot on a chart. There is not necesarily a limit but will be limited to the size of your chart and considering you can plot one point per pixel this will depend. We recommend the option in the iChart of "Use Screen Resolution" as this will limit your data points to the size of the screen otherwise it can get very unsightly and confusing, if you have a chart which is 640x480 and are bring back 2,000+ datapoints and plotting them this will be very confusing and most likely counter productive.

Line chart with mutiple value formats

Hi,
I have a chart built with Crystal Reports 2008 with two column lines. One of the lines represents Quantity and the other line represents Percentage. I set two Y axis (Y1 for Quantity line and Y2 for Percentage) for the two lines. My problem is that when I set one of the lines' value format as Percentage, value format of both lines become percentage. I cannot set one of the line value formats as percentage and the other one as number. Would you please advise how I can set one of the line's value format on the chart as numbers and the other one as percentage?
Thanks,
Al

Hello Al,
How exactly are you setting one of the lines' value format as Percentage?
And what are you setting it to be a percentage of? or are you trying to dsiaply one series data labels with a percentage symbol?

Using chart to track changes over time

Hi, I'm monitoring the progress of recovery from injury and need to analyse changes in grip strength over time. I would like to use a chart with grip strength on the Y axis and time along the X axis.
Unfortunately, the records were not taken at regular intervals, so the chart resulting from my data gives a misleading visual of progress. For example, my dates are sometimes one week apart, sometimes two, sometimes four.
Is there a way to get the time intervals to scale properly? That is, at the moment each date is at an equal point along the X axis, regardless of how long between the two dates (3 April, 14 April, 28 May and so on). What I want is for those dates to be separated along the X axis in equivalent proportions to their relationship in time (thus 3 April would be much closer to 14 April, than 14 April is to 28 May).
My only thought is to manually extrapolate the "missing" dates and guess the grip strength on those dates. Unfortunately this will defeat the purpose of the exercise. Any help most gratefully accepted, thank you!

An XY scatter plot (third from the bottom) will preserve proportions on both axes. Connect the points with (straight) lines for a broken line graph.
Regards,
Barry

Display column values as a series/legend on a line chart where one column value can be more than one category

Hi Everyone
I don't know if this is possible or not, so I will describe it. I have a column in a table called Filing. There are currently three values in it ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") and each record has this populated. I also have
the below slicer for the column also.
I would like to add a fourth value called "Abuse/Neglect" that would identify instances where both an Abuse and Neglect petition was filed, which is a subset of the Abuse and Neglect records in the Filing column.
My question is, is it possible to create a line chart that has the 4 Filing possibilities: "Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary", "Abuse/Neglect" as the Series/Legend in the line chart?
The problem is that there are records that are more than one category: Abuse or Neglect records can also be Abuse/Neglect.
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, there is a column with the values ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") in your table, now what you need to is that add another value "Abuse/Neglect" in this column, and then use it
as Series/Legend in the line chart, right?
In this case, you can add calculated column to your table based on your logic. A calculated column is a column that you add to an existing PowerPivot table. Instead of pasting or importing values in the column, you create a DAX formula that defines
the column values. The calculated column can be used in a PivotTable, PivotChart, or Power View report as you would any other data column. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Line chart with one line per distinct column value

Hi,
For example I have a task dataobject with three fields
type
timeCompleted
duration
I would like to have a line chart that plots the average duration of tasks over time. With a separate line for each task type. Is this possible? All the examples seem to have one line correspond to one column on the dataobject.
Jeremy

Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for the reply. I understand now, I didn't realise you could add the same data object multiple times with different filters. So for each task type I add the task data object to the view with a filter on the task type and this creates a new line in the chart.
I was hoping that when data for a new task type reached the bam then I could make it automatically create a new line in the graph for that type. Oh well, I guess the creation of a new task type will be relativly rare.

HTMLDB Line Chart Problem in Version 2.0

After upgrading to 2.0, several of our line charts stopped rendering.
It seems that if a datapoint's value is equal to zero, the line will not render.
However if I filter out all records > 0, then the chart works fine.
I requested a workspace(OTN) and tried it out there and ended up with the same results.
Is this bug in the charting engine or am I missing something?? Thanks for any help.

Steps to reproduce:
CREATE TABLE TEST01
(MONTH     VARCHAR2(15),
JCOUNT NUMBER);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('OCT-04',30);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('NOV-04',40);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('DEC-04',30);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JAN-05',145);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('FEB-05',60);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('MAR-05',50);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('APR-05',161);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('MAY-05',82);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JUN-05',177);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JUL-05',213);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('AUG-05',122);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('SEP-05',140);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('OCT-05',70);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('NOV-05',67);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('DEC-05',27);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JAN-06',46);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('FEB-06',31);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('MAR-06',17);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('APR-06',15);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('MAY-06',9);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JUN-06',5);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('JUL-06',5);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('AUG-06',1);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('SEP-06',5);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('OCT-06',0);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('NOV-06',0);
INSERT INTO TEST01 (MONTH,JCOUNT) VALUES('DEC-06',0);
ADD A REGION TO PAGE CONTAINING A LINE CHART;
HERE'S THE SELECT:
SELECT NULL LINK,MONTH,JCOUNT FROM TEST01;
MAKE SURE TO SET THE MAXIMUM RECORD COUNT TO 50;
THEN RUN THE PAGE
EXPECTED RESULTS: LINE CHART WILL RENDER
ACTUAL RESULTS: LINE CHART DOES NOT RENDER

Looks like a bug. Oracle may be aware of it. The best workaround I could come up with is adding a very small amount to your value (JCOUNT).
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT NULL link,
               month,
               CASE WHEN jcount = 0 then .00001
                    ELSE jcount END jcount
          FROM TEST01
         ORDER BY TO_DATE(month,'MON-RR'))Only problem you have with this is if you display data point values. The value for zero JCOUNTs will display as .00001. You can work around that by picking a format mask for the "Data Label Format" value for your series.

Drill Down for Multiple Series in a Line Chart

Hello,
I seem to have a problem with the drill-down functionality in a line chart that has multiple series.
I have a line chart that displays the readings of a patient over a period of 1 month. For each day, there is the glucose level reading, blood pressure reading, etc... So, each reading is a different series in my line chart graph.
The basic requirement is: With a mouse over event on the chart, I am willing to display all the data that belongs to that day. The data will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in a small panel. It is very simple to do it when the line chart has only 1 series:
i) Enable drill down.
ii) Choose 'Row' as insertion type.
iii) Fill out the destination field.
iv) Make sure your labels (at the bottom of the screen) get the data from the destination cell.
When there is more than one series, it becomes very difficult. XCelsius will not let me use the same destination cells for different series. So, I will have to use other destination cells. In that case, I will not know on which day is the user on. Is there any way to achieve this functionality?
Let me know if you need further information.

This is certainly possible, but there's a bit of a trick to it (and really hard to explain without screenshots!). There's two halves to it:
1. Write the date that has been selected to a cell (for each series).
2. Write the name of the series that was clicked to some cell (this is the property 'Series Name Destination').
So let's say your three series are Glucose, Blood Pressure and Temp. Have those series names in B1,C1,D1 (with your dates down in column A). Insert a row below the series names (2:2), and then set up your insertion type for the chart as 'row'. The source data (for all three series) should be your list of dates in column a. The insertion cells for the three series will be, in order, B2,C2,D2. Now, depending on which point is clicked in the chart, the selected day will be inserted into one of those three cells. Completely useless unless you know which series was clicked.
So you need to insert the name of the series that was clicked ('Series Name Destination') into the spreadsheet, let's say in F1. The rest is just Excel formulas. The logic is, you can now tell what series was clicked, and go and look up the date that was inserted for that series, then go and look up the row that corresponds to that date. So to get the date that was just clicked, your formula (in F2) would be =HLOOKUP(F1,B1:D2,2,0).
Then a VLOOKUP will get the results from that row of data. For example, if I inserted another row at row 3 (to show my 'result' values) the formula in B3 would be =VLOOKUP($F$2,$A$4:$D$13,2,0).
I hope that makes sense.

Show Timestamp on Y axis in a SSRS line chart.

I have a column with datatype as timestamp. And i want to show that column on Y axis in a line chart. two sample values from that column are 03/01/2014 11:30 PM and 03/02/2014 12:10 AM. In this case the data point for first value should be less compare
to the second one, i.e. the series should consider the complete timestamp. Is there a way in SSRS to achieve it.
If I only take the time value from timestamp on Y axis and plot the chart then the data point for 12:10 AM is less than the 11:30 PM, which is not true in this case.
ApoorvaW

Hi ApoorvaW,
In Reporting Services, if we directly add the Timestamp field to Y Axis, it displays the count values in the line chart. When we modify the expression of the value to [Timestamp], it displays the date value in the Y Axis. Though it displays date type as
the axis label, it represent the complete timestamp.
So in my environment, the timestamp display very well in the line chart. If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

Colours for Line Chart

I am trying to create comparative line charts for yearly data over at least a decade (i.e. at least 10 individual lines on one chart).
Any lines over six don't print. The unprinted lines have a colour allocated against them in the associated table, but not in the chart legend - the labels do appear in the legend.
I have been trying to manipulate the Chart Colours… (which does appear to be restricted to six) without any success.
(P.S. For any American readers - my spelling corrector is automatically inserting the 'u' in colours.)

You may dislike it if you wish (we are free) but this will not change the program design.
However you can have the medal if you tell me how to superpose charts - I can't find that in the Users Guide.
It was described here many times.
(1) build the two charts
(2) strip every titles, legends,… from one of them
(3) adjust the min and max values if necessary (on both axis)
(4) select the chart which you strip then from the format bar define its background to none so it will be transparent.
(5) drag the 'transparent' chart above the 'complete' one.
If you don't group them, they will remain 'living' charts which will evolve with changes in datas.
I didn't checked but I assume that grouping them will freeze them.
If the medal is made of TRUE chocolate, I'm interested.

Line Chart to Compare Current Year vs Last Year

I am on BI 7 SP9. I need to create a line chart that shows 2 lines to compare revenue for the current year against last year. The first line should show the revenue for the current year. The second line should show the revenue for last year. In my BEx query, I have the fiscal period values in the row and the revenue key figure in the column. Questions:
1. How can I show 2 lines in the chart to compare revenue for the current year vs last year?
2. There are 2 variables for the fiscal period - one for current year and one for last year. The user can enter any value range in the fiscal period variables at query runtime, but the fiscal periods for each of the 2 years must be the same. This means the number of fiscal periods that appear in the query result rows will vary (e.g.. 3 periods for a quarter or 12 periods for a full year). The user has to enter the same fiscal periods for the current year and last year variables. How can I determine the fiscal period values to plot in the line chart for the current year and then last year when the number of rows in the query results will fluctuate?
The legend at the bottom of the chart should show JAN, FEB, MAR...DEC instead of the fiscal period values like 001/2007, 002/2007. Is there an exit I have to change to get this to work?
Thanks for any help you can give!

You can do it in multiple ways
1.
SELECT COALESCE(t1.Company,t2.Company) AS Company,
COALESCE(t1.Sales2015,0) AS CurrentYearSales,
COALESCE(t2.Sales2014,0) AS PriorYearSales
FROM Sales2015 t1
FULL JOIN Sales2014 t2
On t2.Company = t1.Company
2.
SELECT Company,
MAX(CASE WHEN YearVal = 2015 THEN Sales ELSE 0 END) AS CurrentYearSales,
MAX(CASE WHEN YearVal = 2014 THEN Sales ELSE 0 END) AS PriorYearSales
FROM
SELECT Company,Sales2015 AS Sales,2015 AS YearVal
FROM Sales2015
UNION ALL
SELECT Company,Sales2014 AS Sales,2014
FROM Sales2014
)t
GROUP BY Company

Flash 2D Line chart

I have a chart region - Flash 2D Line chart with two series based on different tables, both with dates along the X axis
and a figure that represents hours up the Y axis. The idea is for two lines to be displayed on the same graph so they can be
easily compared.
series 1
select null link, END_DATE label, PROJECTED_HOURS Projected_hours
from "E_LOGBOOK"."TEST_PROJECTED"
30/07/2009 700
09/08/2009 800
27/08/2009 9000
series 2
select null link, LIFING_DATE label, ACTUAL_HOURS Current_Hours
from "E_LOGBOOK"."TEST_ACTUAL"
30/07/2009 800
09/08/2009 1000
27/08/2009 12000
When I run the chart with the data above it displays as I would expect, the dates label in chronological order along the bottom with the Correct value plotted for each series.
However if I insert a row into the LIFING_DATE table (second series) so it contains additional data for the 14/08/2009
30/07/2009 800
09/08/2009 1000
14/08/2009 1201
27/08/2009 12000
And then re run the chart this last date and value displays to the right of the existing dates so we have 30/07/2009 09/08/2009 27/08/2009 then 14/08/2009 along the X axis.
I would have expected the new data to fit in the existing range so that 30/07/2009 09/08/2009 14/08/2009 27/08/2009 would display along the bottom.
I am an oracle forms programmer new to APEX (and html, javascript,XML etc) trying to prepare a demo to my manager of what we can do with apex so any help appreciated.
If possible is there a solution without using Third party apps or bi publisher.
Thanks Pete

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your quick response. If I'm correct in understanding what your saying is that with 2D Line charts that have two series in order for them to display togethor then the label must appear in both series.
I've had a bash using your sql for the 1st series and modifying the second series.
Series 1
SELECT NULL LINK,
X.THE_DATE LABEL,
Y.PROJECTED_HOURS VALUE
FROM
(SELECT END_DATE THE_DATE FROM TEST_PROJECTED
UNION
SELECT LIFING_DATE THE_DATE FROM TEST_ACTUAL
) X
LEFT OUTER JOIN TEST_PROJECTED Y ON X.THE_DATE = Y.END_DATE
ORDER BY X.THE_DATE
07/30/2009 700
08/09/2009 800
08/14/2009
08/27/2009 9000
Series 2
SELECT NULL LINK,
X.THE_DATE LABEL,
Y.ACTUAL_HOURS VALUE
FROM
(SELECT END_DATE THE_DATE FROM TEST_PROJECTED
UNION
SELECT LIFING_DATE THE_DATE FROM TEST_ACTUAL
) X
LEFT OUTER JOIN TEST_ACTUAL Y ON X.THE_DATE = Y.LIFING_DATE
ORDER BY X.THE_DATE
07/30/2009 800
08/09/2009 1000
08/14/2009 1201
08/27/2009 12000
This is a great improvement the series 2 now displays fine and all the points for series 1 are plotted correctly but it seems like the null value prevents the joining of the coordinates in this series. All the points 700,800 and 9000 are displayed correctly but the graph line only joins 700 and 800.
Any further ideas? Thanks Pete
