Show Time Scale

Hi,
Just evaluating CR 2008 having used CR 2008 Basic through Visual Studio 2008. The reason for considering the upgrade is to benefit from the enhanced formatting abilities in the full version.
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?
Secondly, is there any way to change the scaling and date format of the X axis when scaling by time e.g. is there anyway of changing the scale to monthly and showing the date format as mm/yy. Also if I wanted to view the chart using a yearly scale is there any way of doing this and setting the date format to yyyy.
Kind Regards,
Mark

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.

  • Creating chart with "Time Scale" on group axis

    Hello,
    I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Crystal Reports (ver 10.2) and I would like to create a report with a "Date axis line chart". The group axis of the chart should act as a timeline, so I selected "Show Time Scale" in the general options of the group axis. I'll give you a short example of the input data:
    It is just a simple table with 2 columns. In the first column there is a timestamp (X/group axis), in the second column an integer value (Y/data axis) that represents a status of something:
    col1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . col2
    2012-01-01 00:00:00 . . . . 2
    2012-01-01 01:00:00 . . . . 1
    2012-01-01 09:00:00 . . . . 3
    2012-01-02 12:00:00 . . . . 1
    .... and so on.
    As you can see, the differences between the timestamps are not equal. Therefore I have selected the "Time Scale" option to get the values placed correctly on the timeline. When I execute it, the line is shown correctly, but the group axis has just one label per day. I would like to have one per hour, but I did not find any way to realize it. Is it possible to change the division of the group axis? In the tab "scales" of the options dialog you can only select "Day", "Month" and "Year" for the base unit. Is there any way to change the base unit from day to hour?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    This being more of a design question I asked the CR design guys for some guidance / comment. (BTW., you posted to the correct / prefered forum here as you're using the bundled CR). Anyhow, the answer I got is not particularly encouraging.
    We looked at the stand-alone / full version of CR but only confirmed that  there is no other options than Day, Month or Year for this type of chart - even in the full CR designer.
    Suggestions that did come up:
    - Create a SQL Query that generates the missing data. Unfortunately, it would be up to you to figure this out...
    - Use the subreport technique to fill the missing time. ( I have attached a sample report with some explanations )
    If you have more questions, I'd recommend creating a thread in the [SAP Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum. Quote this thread and see if they can provide further assistance.

  • How to display on the graph three or more waveforms where time scale is not an index of array but a real time

    How to display on the graph three or more waveforms where time scale is not an index of array but a real time:
    I measure three voltages Va, Vb, and Vc on my Test stands every 3sec. So I’m building four arrays (Va, Vb, Vc, Time) and combine all in one.
    Time
    Va
    Vb
    Vc
    0

    2.1
    Now I need to show on the graph in which scale X is “Voltage” and scale Y is “Time”.
    How can I do it?
    Thanks a lot,

    Hi, thanks all your reply.
    You may find "points_to_bar_graph.vi" from this website, I find it by this way.
    I will ask a stupid question: I don't have any photo processing software, how can I save the vi into a picture format?
    So here I just paste it into word document.

  • How to set the correct time scale of VI ?

    I created a VI to display waveforms on the waveform graph. The problem is the time scale of the VI is always the year 1904.I tried to select absolute time in Property options of the waveform, but it remained the same. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks.

    >
    Your description doesn't give enough information to pinpoint the
    problem, so I'll list off a few things that could be going on.
    The graphs and charts accept many datatypes. If you are using the
    waveform, display it on a regular waveform indicator and see what the
    timestamp and deltaT are. If these are correct, then the graph should
    be able to display things with no further changes except that you may
    need to turn on X Scale Autoscaling so that it will zoom and shift to
    show the plotted data. Charts will shift, but by default will not zoom
    in, and it might make sense there sometimes too depending on the delta T
    and amount of data plotted.
    If the timestamp on the waveform is incorrect, then it is much easier to
    construct the properly marked waveform than make the graph add to it to
    label the waveform's time differently.
    If you are not using the waveform, then you may be using a cluster of
    X0, dX, and Y array wired to the graph. This is very similar to the
    waveform, and again, it is better to add offsets to get the X0 to
    display correctly on a numeric. You can extract this number or display
    the cluster in an indicator, then format the numeric to display absolute
    time.
    If you are simply wiring the Y array, then LV will construct the X
    values based upon the number of points beginning at 0 and incrementing
    by one by default. When displayed as absolute time, this will default
    to midnight Jan 1 2004 plus an offset based upon your timezone. In this
    case, since there is no X information being piped into the graph, it is
    better corrected by going to the graph properties for the X Scale and
    setting the X Offset to the seconds between now and 1904. This is a
    constant you can compute when your program starts up or you can use a
    calculator, whichever is easier. You will also likely want to set the X
    Multiplier to the deltaT between successive points. 0.001 for 1KHz, 1
    for 1Hz, etc.
    Finally, if these suggestions don't make sense or don't help, you might
    want to explain more about what doesn't work.

  • Question about waveform chart time scale

    Hello,
    I have question regarding to time scale on my chart, I want  it to show the actual measured time, for example  from 0-30 seconds, but instead my minimum value is 302654789854 . Please help me to fix it.
    Regards ,
    Stella Deheryan

    You can modify the way the time is displayed on the axis by right clicking the chart and selecting properties. On the display format tab, select relative time. This should show the X-axis scale as HH:MM. Or pick any other type of formatting you want.

  • Time Scale Customizing - To Omit Chunks of Time

    Hello,
    After reading an existing post titled "Time scale during non working time" it's been confirmed the user cannot remove particular periods of time from the gantt chart on 2013, (a shame).
    I need to do this as the project I'm to continue on had a hiatus for almost a year due to a colleague leaving the company. Therefore to print the schedule there are several pages in between start and finish dates with horizontal lines which is wasted space/paper.
    My next thought was to convert to PDF and simply omit these "wasted" pages in between for a more concise document.
    Is this possible within the view tab to omit these pages or do I need to print 1st page, last page then combine the 2 in PDF?

    Yacob - The timescale in Gantt View is designed to show all calendar days / weeks / months / etc. From your question, you want a concise version of your entire schedule.
    Option 1: In View tab, click Entire Project in Zoom group. This will fit the entire plan within your screen. Then, copy the Gantt Chart as a picture by using Copy ... Copy Picture in Task ribbon
    Option 2: Install a PDF printer driver (just google). This will install PDF driver as one of the printers. In File backstage, choose Print. Select the PDF printer and select page setup. Change the scaling radio button to "Fit to 1 pages wide by 1 page
    tall"

  • Different positions of time steps on Time scale for multiple plots of same signals

    Hi,
       I am facing a strange behavior of graphs of time-domain signals in "Data View". I am using DSA devices to acquire signals. I am plotting three analog voltage inputs (attached to Ch0, Ch1 and Ch2 of same DSA device). The vertical scales of these three signals should be same and follow the maximum signal level. So I plot these three signals on one "Display" in "Data View" and duplicate three such displays. For first "Display1" I change interpolation such that only first signal (Ch0) is visible. On the second "Display 2" I change interpolation such that only 2nd signal(Ch1) is visible. Similarly third signal(Ch2) is displayed on third "Display 3". Now for these three displays, the time scale is not the same. The starting point is 0 and is aligned among these three displays. The end points of time axes are different. For example these are 989.966m, 990.391m and 1.00034 for 102400 points acquired at sampling rate of 102400  Samples / second. Similarly the major grid lines are also not aligned among these three graphs when we move towards end of time scale.
        I have tried changing "Time Stamp Type" to "Relative to Ch0" for all three displays but this problem remains same. I tried my best to work around it but could not succeed. I tried to save the signals and then plot after reloading while taking same time information from column 1. This solved the problem of time axes but now auto-scale stops working on vertical scales whenever signal amplitudes goes down (The scale does not follow decreasing amplitude of signal but remains fixed).
       Can anyone help me in this matter? I shall be very thankful for an earlier response.

    Hi Vivek
       I need to align time values in all the displays (in Data view). The time values should already be aligned since I am using DSA PCI-4474 which is a simultaneous sampling digitizer.
        I explored it in detail. If I add displays in Data Views while there is no data acquired and save the project then it works fine. However if I save the project after acquiring data and doing some zoon In/ zoom out etc. then I face this problem. Please let me know if there is a way to avoid it.
    Moreover I need a confirmation from you on my following application development:
    I have a simple application of showing 12 analog signals on 12 different graphs placed vertically in aligned position. I have to develop a user interface so that if user wants to display signal no. 1, 4 and 6 out of total 12 signals, he should make selection using check boxes and click a re-draw button. It should result in these three signals displayed as separate graphs aligned vertically and adjusted to fit window size of Data View. Similarly later user can change his selection of displaying signals (from same acquired data) say 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 & 12 and click Redraw button. It should result in clearing of Data view (or opening a new Data View tab i.e Data View 1) showing all these signals as separate graphs which are aligned vertically and resized to fit the window.
    Can I achieve this user interface design using Signal Express only (without using Lab view)?

  • Time scale missing on Podcasts

    I like the podcast time scale, which shows me how much time remains on a podcast, allows me to rewind 30 sec at a clip if my attention strays, and position the podcast where I want.
    It does not show now with any podcast now; how do I turn it on?

    I have the same problem!!! And it's terribly annoying. I tried solving the problem restoring the iPod, but nothing... please someone help us!

  • System is showing time out when run in background

    Dear all,
    We have two systems: One R/3 and EBP. We have made one report where the remote function module will be called from R/3 to EBP. There are 4 lakhs data in SAP. We are sending 10000 data as package in internal table and getting the corresponding output. But the system is showing time out when the report has run in background. Can you please suggest how the process can be improved so that the timeout can be avoided.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,
    Try to fetch records in smaller chunks and process them.  For example, if you are trying to fetch records for one year, instead of single query, try to fetch in 12 sets for each month.  Fetch first month and process the records and put them in the output internal table.  Then go for next month and so on.  Anyway your program is running in background.  There will not be any user complaint also.  The solution might sound bit funny.  But it works.
    Regards,

  • ICal 'Show time in month view' Month view missing text!

    Hi I hope you can help me!
    Since syncing to .mac last week my calendar has developed a problem which is happening on both of my Macs.
    Some of my entries and particular words are not displaying properly when I enable 'Show time in month view'. Words at the end of the entries are missing! (they are fine with the times disabled). Can someone please offer an insight into this as I just bought my Mac and use it for my business.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem. I want to print the month view like it was in my older version of Ical and it won't do it. I want to print what I see.

  • Does calendar month view show times

    I'm sure I'm not going crazy but I could have sworn that, until late last night, my iPad 2's calendar when in month view showed event times.  Similar to what you see when you check the "show times in month view" box when in iCal.  I am pretty sure that that function was on my iPad 2 prior to my downloading iTunes 10.3.1 beta because I keep my iPad near the kitchen phone so that we can 'check the calendar.'  Now it is not there.  The folks at MME support didn't have an iPad to check and they suggested that I go to a local Apple store and see if the ones in the store had this function.  I did and they did not.  
    I spoke with a genius at the Apple Store and he couldn't verify whether that was ever a function of iOS on the iPad.  I did tell him that my iPad had been having some strange things happen on the display when I activated the calendar on the iPad.  Events would appear, disappear, then reappear sort of in an wave.  I am not sure as to the timing of this as to whether it was pre iTunes 10.3.1 beta or after I installed it.  
    HELP!  Was I just seeing things?  Or was it there and now gone?
    G-N

    Thanks for the wild and crazy ideas.
    I did remove any events that span midnight and it did not help.
    I looked at the DbFixit program. Since it corrects problems in the Palm and not in Palm Desktop I believe it is not relevant. The reason I belive the palm device is not involved is because of the following test:
    I removed all previous Palm Desktop versions
    I removed all registery entries for both Palm, PalmOne, and the USB (as specified by a chat session with Palm)
    I removed all data directories including \Program Files\PalmOne, \Program Files\Palm, and \Palm
    I removed all instances of data in the Documents directory
    I did a cold boot of the computer
    then...
    I did a fresh install of Palm Desktop
    I typed in a year's worth of data
    I did not sync or otherwise connect a palm to the system
    I selected month view
    The system crashed!
    I believe this takes the Palm device completely out of the loop. This problem occurs when typing data in Palm Desktop from the keyboard.
    I appreciate any ideas, and will follow up on them.
    Thanks again
    Jack Cornelius
    Since no Palm was involved, the corruption must have occured in the Palm Desktop program itself.

  • Can't adjust the default time scale when creating a new appointment in Outlook 2010

    Good Afternoon, I have found a question on these community boards that propose an issue that I am currently experiencing. The answer; however, was not the solution for me. I used the same name as the original post and will add the original text as it is
    exactly what I am experiencing.
    "When creating a new appointment in the month view Outlook 2010, the default time scale or duration is 2 days.  I tried resetting the view, adjusting the time scale, and creating a new profile.  It only seems to happen when creating the appointment
    in the Month view.  ???  Day and week view work fine and appointment can be created w the standard 30 minute time scale.  But the time scale in the month view although says 30 mins, it creates appointments in 2 day durations."
    This is exactly what happens to the user I am assisting. When in "month view" double clicking the day will bring up a new appointment with the times within the same day. If you click the "new appointment" button in the ribbon it
    sets the end time to the following day. This only happens in the month view every other view works as it normally should. I have tried it several times being sure multiple days are not selected. It still gives me an end time for the following day. I have reset
    the view, changed the time scale but nothing seems to bring it back to the default same day appointment. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    It is a default in Outlook 2010 in month view.  The "time scale" selection is greyed out.  Very frustrating.  Everytime I select "New Appointment," a duration of 1 day is automatically selected; midnight to midnight.  I end up doing
    most appointments twice because I forget to change to end date back to the day of the appointment.  "New meeting Request" works fine.  So does "New All Day Event" when you deselect "All Day Event."  I can't see how this default behavior
    provides optimal results under any circumstances.  Very frustrating.

  • Events not showing time in iCal

    I just lost my hard drive last week and now I'm re-entering everything. I'm trying to put my calendar events back into iCal and it no longer shows the time next to the event on the calendar. It used to say for example: "Dr. Appt-3:15" but now it only shows the event and not the time. Is this a change in the last week or do I have some sort of glitch? I do not want to have to click on an event to see the time, I want to just see it all at a glance. I have done all updates.
    Also, maybe someone could explain to me the difference between "New Calendar" and "New Calendar Group"?

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Is this in Month view? Go to the iCal menu and open Preferences. Under General there is a check box for 'Show time in Month view.'.
    Calendars are how you group events (i.e. make them the same colour). Calendar Groups are how you group calendars (you could have a 'Work' group and a 'Play' group with multiple calendars under each), you can then easily show and hide sets of calendars.

  • How do i show time/date stamp at start of each clip

    This may be a camera issue, not imovie, not sure. My (sony dcr-hc21) camera records but doesn't show time/date at start of each clip (my old non-digital camcorder used to show them for a few seconds). is there a way to get imovie to show these time stamps? I'm using imovie 3.0.3.

    Hi r
    There are no stright forward - cost free way to get this to my knowledg.
    - I think You can buy a plug-in for this. (Not sure)
    - A quality redusing way is to copy from camera via analog cable to a
    VHS-VCR then reimport to a fresh miniDV tape and using this. If You
    just want some sec. with date and time You can cut between old and
    new material but the quality change will be more noticable this way.
    - Some people has two miniDV cameras and do an analog connection
    via them. Smart.
