Scale in line chart??

Hi Experts,
I have a req, in which i have to show two measures as line, and one measure as bar. I used line-bar combo but the problem is one of the measure in line is in the range of 400,000 to 1,000,000 and the other measure is in the order of positive and negative 100's. I need to show them on the same chart is it possible??
Thanks,
DK

Hi DK,
Well, it definitely is possible to show multiple lines in a line-bar combo, the issue is having it display and make sense. If you put them both in the same graph, the first line measure will make the second line look completely flat.
One option is that you could enable "logarithmic Scale", however, I tested that out and it forces you to do it for both the line and the bar parts of the graph (might be a bug). If that's acceptable to have both displayed logarithmic, then go for that solution.
Otherwise, how were you picturing the metrics being displayed as lines on the same graph? Since they are pretty much completely different scales, were you hoping to get a total of three y-axis's (2 for the lines and 1 for the bar)? If that's what you are hoping for, you'll probably need to do some heavy digging into Corda Pop Charts. Here's John Minkjan's work on Corda charts: [http://obiee101.blogspot.com/search/label/CORDA]
Good luck!

Two scales on line chart

Hello,
How to show two line charts with different scale within a graph?
I need two Y axis and 1 X axis.
Is this possible ? If not, what should be done to achieve this?

Cfchart yaxis scale is wrong when combining bar and line charts

Hi, I am trying to combine a bar and line chart ti display data. Everything looks good except that the yaxis scale is off. I set the scaleMin to 0 but that doesn't help. Below is my code, the custom XML style and a screen shot. My ultimate goal is to get the yaxis to start at 0, not -1,000 as is currently the case. I have combined this data with each set represented as bar charts and do not have this problem. It must be the combo of bar and line charts together. Any assistance is most appreciated.

Scale on Y-axis of line chart is not correct

I have a simple line chart that has the values of 150, 0, 122, 0, 0 and 0 that is charting fine. However, the scale on the Y-axis is not starting at 0. It starts at 100, giving the impression my 0's are 100's. I have other charts, with other values, that are doing the same thing. My chart set to ignore cells at end of range. The scale setting is set to Auto (Y) Axis, Y axis scale is linear.
I'll admit I'm pretty new with this software, but I'm not seeing any setting that I have wrong.

Hi Gregory,
unfortunately, it's a bug. I filed it (ADAPT01136251) and we will fix it ASAP. For now I can suggest only to switch to manual scale or to set one of your zero values to be something like 0.000000001 instead.
Sorry about the bug,
Margaret

SSRS 2008: Line chart Y-Axis scale issue

Hi All,
After search of one week, finally decided to put my question in front of you all. Hope I will get some outcome from it.
Currently I am working on Line Chart. Following is the data which I need to bind to line chart.
    JobStartDate JobStartTime   JobEndTime
    1/1/2015       01.00            02.30
    1/2/2015       01.02            03.20
    1/3/2015       01.01            03.40
    1/4/2015       01.05            02.00
    1/5/2015       22.03            23.30
    1/6/2015       22.05            23.40
So, In above scenario Line chart looks like:
      11.00 PM |                          /////////
      10.00 PM |                          ..........
      ........ |
      04.00 AM |              /
      03.00 AM |    / /
      02.00 AM | /                /
      01.00 AM | .....................
      12.00 AM |______________________________________________
               1/1/15 1/2/15 1/3/15 1/4/15 1/5/15 1/6/15
But it should be like :
      04.00 AM |                /
      03.00 AM |     / /
      02.00 AM | /                /
      01.00 AM |   .....................
      12.00 AM |
      11.00 PM |
      10.00 PM |
      09.00 PM |______________________________________________
                    1/1/15 1/2/15 1/3/15 1/4/15 1/5/15 1/6/15
(Sorry As cant upload the image. So, Tried to show as above.)
In above figure (.) is StartTime and (/) is EndTime.
You can see that I am facing the problem of Y-Axis scaling.
Hope everyone understand my problem. Please let me know more explanation.

Hi Prashant Khadatkar,
As per my understanding, you created a line chart, you added JobStartTime and JobEndTime to values area, and added JobStartDate to category groups. You want to display data of y axis from PM to AM. In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, I
need to ask several questions:
What’s the data type of JobStartTime and JobEndTime?
Is the data stored in database the same as you provided?
What’s the state of report now? Please provide some more detailed information of the report. I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and screenshot of the report.
This may be a lot of information to ask for at one time. However, by collecting this information now, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

Hint Values on Line Chart

When you setup a line chart, the LABEL portion of the SQL query becomes the X axis value on the line chart. When there are multiple series on a line chart, each series is its own distinct line. If the series has a LABEL that is not yet on the chart, it adds that label to the x axis at the end of the axis. If the new series has a LABEL that is already on the chart, then it places the Value on that existing place on the x-axis. This Label is also used in the Hint portion of the chart.
So lets compare the number of Sales per day of a Department across a length of time, say 3 months. So, on first working day on Jan dept A has 31 sales. On the second working day of January thay make 35 sales and so on until March 31. Our company doesn't work on weekends so we won't have sales on those dates. Dept B has their numbers for the same dates.
We setup a series for each month (Jan, Feb, March). Then we place the total number of orders for each date on the graph and connect the dots! Great! But wait, the more months I add, the shorter each line gets on the graph. What if we were comparing 3 years worth of data instead of 3 months. The x-axis would have 600-700 values instead of 60-70 values. Oh my.
What if we make each series of data its own line over the same scale? That way each month shows in the same space with the first day of the month at the left and the last day of the month near the right. Sounds good. But wait, we are now making up a scale. And when we do this, the Hints on the data points become meaningless. I want to show the actual date value in the hint but have the line over my custom X-Axis. What I need is an additional field that I can use to add to the Hint portion of the chart. Obviously, this would require using custom xml and a custom data element, but is this even possible given the constraints of the SQL syntax?
To visualize this issue better: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=28155:1

Andy -
I need to thank you for the direction on the substitution variables reference. That will be a major help.
However, i must correct a statement (underlining is mine)
So, if you switch to Custom XML and find the <tooltip> tag and add {%SeriesName} after the existing {%Name} entry, you end up with the _"day of the month" (which is your value)_ and the Series Name value, which is January - so, "1 January"This is a common misconception that the numeric value on the x axis represent the "day of the month" , when in fact it does not. You logically cannot use the day of the month for this type of axis. Why not? It is because weekends are excluded. So, one month may begin on a Friday. If that were the case then the 2nd of the month would be a Saturday, which would work for a single series of data. But what about when you add in the next month and it begins on a Tuesday. Well then, if you use the day of the month as the value, the 2nd day of the second series actually gets plotted after all the days of the first month.
The solution is that you have to generate a common arbitrary scale for all series of data. When you do that, you lose the date values.
I have tried to illustrate all of this by adding to the existing examples in the link provided above. Some other odd behaviors of using the day of the month as the x-axis value can be seen as well. I have also implemented the suggestion of adding the {%SeriesName} tag to the Hint via the custom xml.

Financial Reporting Line Chart - disable #missing or #zero values

I need some help regarding the line chart in financial reporting. I want to create a line chart for actual and forecast-values. The underlying Grid contains following values:
actual-jan = 100
actual-feb = 121
actual-march = 119
actual-april to actual-dec = #missing
forecast-jan = 100
forecast-feb = 121
forecast-march = 119
forecast-april to forecast-dec = 125
In the line chart I get two lines, one for actual and one for forecast. Now my Problem is that the actual line has to stop with the march-value but it moves forward till december on the zero level.
Has anyone an idea how to get the line stopped at march?
kind regards
kai

Supressing or replacing zeroes does not help, the chart still drops to zero for future periods.
I created an extra column in my grid. In this column i used a formula that says if column a (current year) is greater than zero, show column a numbers, if not, show the number from the row above. I have separate reports for debits and credits, if you are OK with showing negative numbers, just adjust the formula. What my new column does is forecasts a straight line for all future periods for the current year. It is not the exact preferred result, but it keeps the scale appropriate and with a little education almost every executive has accepted it.

2D Line Chart question

I have Apex 3.1 . I have created a 2D Line chart with for different series (so there are 4 lines on one chart). I also have a Legend on the left side next to the chart to label whatr each line is for. In my query for those lines I have the Name for the Legend as all CAPS but it shows up as first letter capital and the rest lower case. Is there a way to force it to all upper case?
The second question I have is that underneath the legend I would like to have some type of text box were I can write a couple lines to help explain what is going on in the graph. Is there a way to do that?

You basically have only a couple of options here:
First, turn off the labels and possibly turn them into Hints. They wouldn't show on the chart, but when the user held over the data point, a tool tip would appear showing them the valuable.
Second, adjust elements of the chart. What you are really looking at here is that your data set is causing this specific issue and not the charting engine or anything like that. You could try to manually change the axis max and min to get more spacing, or you could adjust the height of the chart to get more spacing, but this may not be a viable option. You could have one set of labels above the plotted line and another set of labels below the plotted line that way the values do not overlap with anything. However, from a conceptual standpoint, it will be difficult to determine in code which line should have values above and which should have values below. When your data set changes, you may end up with labels in the wrong place if you hard code where they are at.
The current XML reference can be found at: http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html however, that is for anychart 5. I'm looking for the link to the earlier versions...
You can use this to create custom xml where you can adjust the position of the labels.
Finally, you do not want expand the height of the chart between two points on the Y axis. That would change the structure of the chart and the visual properties of the chart and the shape of the data would be askew. You cannot do this for good reason. You can though use a logrithmic scale. In most cases though, this is not a practical solution. Data sets need to have very specific characteristics in order to be able to merit a logrithmic scale. Most queries require a simple linear scale.

CFCHART - Line Chart Questions - CF7

Hi Folks -
I have a few questions about CFCHART in CF 7 and I am hoping
that maybe different users can answer them:
The following questions relate to creating a line chart.
1) Is there a way to control the gridlines yourself, and not
use the values for the lines that CFCHART presents?
1A) If you have to accept the values that CFCHART gives you,
is there a way to control the actual rounding of the values? Right
now I am getting 3 decimal places, and I would prefer whole
numbers.
2) Is there an issue with displaying negative values? I have
a chart that ranges from -255 to 100,000 and has 10 grid lines. But
the -255 does not display. I get 0, the rest of the lines, except
for the 9th line.
<cfchart chartheight="300" chartwidth="450" font="@Arial

</cfchart>
Any and all questions and answers are appreciated.
Thanks,

You can specify scaleFrom and scaleTo by hardoced values or
dynamic variables and number of gridlines. If you not specified
first two attributes, then by default, the minimum is 0 or the
lowest negative chart data value, and the maximum is the largest
data value.
To avoid decimals in your case empirically find good
combination for your scale, for example from - 500 to 10 000 and
number of gridlines = 12.

Grouped Line Chart in Crystal 10

I need some help with a line chart that has 4 lines on it (no problem there) but such that it shows a marker for every record AND is grouped left to right (on the X-Axis) into one of 5 categories. Basically each of the 5 X-Axis groupings can have a different number of points that will display in that section for each line. I've tried to use the "On change of..." setting using the category field and that does exactly what I want EXCEPT the markers/lines only work against summarized data instead plotting each marker and line within the grouping.
If that doesn't make sense, here's what I want the chart to do:
There are 5 levels of a job code that are the grouping I want. In each of those five levels, I want to show 3 lines and 4th line (as markers only) the represent the employees in each level...the lines are their level minimum, midpoint, and maximum and the markers are the actual salaries for each employee. Each of the 5 levels will have a different number of employees.
I've also tried (successfully) to do this with 5 sub-reports side by side so that each sub-report represents one of the groups and has the variable number of employee points/lines in each grouping however this means that I have to use a fixed Y-axis scale for all 5 sub-reports. To accommodate many different groups of jobs, this causes the line ranges to be really compressed so that there is little differentiation between the lines at the low end (minimum to maximum) and larger at the top end.
Basically I would like to find a way to do this with a single chart such that it will auto-scale the Y-axis to best display the data for that chart. Any tricks for this would be appreciated and let me know if you need any clarifications on this...it is a mouthful.

The thing is the 5 job codes need to go across the page, side by side so that the users can see the progression from one job level to the next. I'm already grouping on the general or short job code which might be for an Accountant let's say. The person wants to see the 5 levels of Accountant (Entry Level, Account I, Accountant II, Accountant III, and Senior Accountant) jobs side by side with each group having 3 lines (Minimum, Midpoint, and Maximum) and a 4th line (actually showing "markers only" like a scatter chart) for each employee's salary in that job.
The whole page is like a job family (which is referred to as a "Short Job Code") with the each job level within that as groupings. This report actually has over 100 job families (i.e. pages) of up to 5 groupings per page.
As I mentioned, I can get this to work by putting the chart in a sub-report and using that sub-report 5 times across the page. The issue is I can't use automatic Y-axis scaling for them because each one of the 5 could decide to do its own scaling which would defeat the purpose of having them side by side.
I come really close to getting this all on one chart if I add the job level code (i.e. identifies each of the 5 levels on a page) to the top section of the Data tab in the Chart Expert as "On change of.." but then it does not show the markers for each employee's salary, but rather a summary.
My guess is I cannot do this with a single chart but will have to stick with the 5 sub-chart approach, but that is going to be rough since one job page may be in US $ and another job page may be in Yen.
THanks for the help on this.

Problem with logarithmic scale in combination chart

Hi Experts,
I have a combination chart where in primary axis i am showing column chart and in the secondary axis, i am showing line chart. Now as the range of values used in the column chart is big, I have to use logarithmic scale in primary axis. But if i do so, the line chart is also being affected. The markers for negetive values in the line chart plotted in secondary axis disappears if I apply logarithmic scale in primary axis.
Is it a bug ?
I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
Thanks and Regards

Hi:
Yes, I also noticed this problem, seems when you set primary axis as "Logarithmic", the secondary axis with negative value "<0" will be ignored as "0". I think it should be an issue.
A quick work around here is, swith your primary axis and your secondary axis, when you set seconary axis as "Logarithmic", the negative values in primary axis will not be ignored.
Hope it helps.

Losing axis settings on line chart when saving as excel

Hi,
When I go to save a file as excel, I seem to lose all my axis settings on the line charts. I have auto scale turned on and it's scaled properly, then when it goes into excel it defaults out to 0-120% on the Y axis. Any way to avoid?

Hi,
Source : SAP note 1367058 - Chart scale not kept when saving a WebIntelligence report to Excel
Cause
This behaviour is by design
There are 2 types of scales in a chart, auto scale and manual scale. By default in all chart the Y axis is an auto scale, And in case of auto scale in business objects the max and min values are calculated by the report engine based on the size of chart, the number of values of variables on that axis etc.
When saving the same report in excel, in case of auto scale we can not store the max and min values of Graph from reporter, and Excel will decide it max and min values by its own based on several factors like resolution of the graph, the number of vairable present, the layout etcu2026 We could not decide the max and min values of a graph in excel in case of auto scale.
Resolution
   1. Edit WebIntelligence report
   2. Select the chart
   3. Go to Properties tab
   4. Expand Y axis parameter
   5. Select "scale"
6. Manually insert the max value
Thanks,
Amit

Time line chart

Hi,
I want to show data for last 91 days, On the X axis I have to show the scale values as 0,7,14,21,28....91.
But the values have to be available for all the 91 days (0,1,2,3...91) only on X axis scale value I need in increment of 7.
Is this possible in Time line chart?
How to implement it?
Thanks,
Vino

im curious about possibilities to edit the x-asis as well... haven't found a way to do it yet.
