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.

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,

How can i make x-axis even distribution in line chart?

can i change the min value, max value of x-axis?

For a line chart, the answer is : NO
In this charts, the X axis isn't a numeric one. It's just one with labels.
On the screenshot, compare the chart 2 (line one) and the chart 4 which is a scatter chart.
This late one behave as a true numeric one and it allow us to set min and max values.

SSRS line chart showing premium change pct over time

Hi,
I have an SSRS report sitting over a cube. I'm building a Line chart to show premium change over time by producer (there are currently 6 producers). I have the Producer Name, Quarter/Year, and Premium amt.
I want to have the premium line trend based on the percentage of change from Quarter to Quarter. Quarter will be the X-Axis and percentage will be the Y axis. The premium for the first quarter should start at 100%. Each premium line for
the producer should then change up or down based on the change in premium per quarter. The end result should look something like this: Can this be done using SSRS?

Diagonal line on SSRS line chart

Hi all,
I'm struggling with a charting issue that I was hoping someone here might be able to help with - I've looked through various blogs without success. I need to insert a diagonal line running the full width of a line chart, representing the linearly increasing
target value over a month. The actual data will then be a secondary series on the same vertical axis, showing progress against the target based on today's data.
This report has several limitations that I should emphasise before someone says "Well, why can't you just generate the target data in the SQL query?". It's for Dynamics CRM Online, so the only type of data source and query allowed is FetchXML.
I can't even use a simple SQL query that returns constant values, let alone an actual SQL DB query. It also doesn't seem to be possible to have any custom code in the report, which makes it even more frustrating. FetchXML is just not set up to do things like
return constant values in a query, or return a dataset which is the set of days in the current month.
What I do have is two datasets, one of which returns the actual data, which I've used as the first series in the table, and a second dataset that returns a single value that represents the target for the month. There's no way, as far as I'm aware, to cross-join
that with a set of dates and then use a calculated field in the dataset to turn it into a linear series.
I've set the min and max values of the X-axis to show me all dates, and my initial solution to the problem was to have a horizontal line at the target value, as shown below (red dotted line). However, I've been asked to change that to the solid red diagonal
line as shown:
Series 1 (Total order value) is the RunningValue of the daily order values, summed across the dates.
Series 1 data looks something like this:
[Date] [Order Value]
1 Mar 100
3 Mar 20
3 Mar 35
24 Mar 400
Series 2 data just has
[Target Name] [Target Value]
Sales Target 25000
Does anyone have ideas on how I can do this? I'm happy to take any suggestions; the line doesn't have to be interactive or be an action, so it could even be rendered directly onto the chart, if that's possible. The only limitation is that it needs to be
viewed on screen, and be printable. I'd prefer some sort of elegant approach that allows me to do it as two series on the same chart, but frankly at this point I'm beyond caring how it's done - so long as it works, it can be held together with chewing gum
and string.

Hi Anuruddha,
When you want to see the diagonal line, you should divide the target value with number of values in x-axis,
let say Month March has 31 days, your target is 25000
then 25000/31=806.4516129032258
But to do dynamic you need to get the number of days in month
=day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))
Create another series like below shown:-
a Above expression :-
= (Sum(Fields!target.Value, "DataSet2")/ (day(DateAdd("d",-1,DateAdd("M",1,cdate(cstr(Month(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")) )+"/01/" + cstr(Year(First(Fields!workday.Value, "DataSet3")))))))))*Fields!id.Value
Run the report:-
Orange Line is yours previously, Red Line is what you want.
I am doing calculation in series, so there is no problem for you as you can't write SQL query.
Below is the RDL code , which will help you to check the expressions.

Ssrs line charts

Hi,
I have a report,in this report having some line charts but these are not effective look for clients.I need to be create effective line charts for clients.Please help me guys

Hi MS SQLSERVER,
Per my understanding that you want to create an line chart more effective and dynamic, right?
I would like you to provide more details information about your requirements about the effective you mentioned and also provide us sample data of table.
Please reference to some good sample of chart below:

If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How do I get more than 10 Y axis chart labels on a line chart

I cannot find a way to get more than 10 y axis labels on a line chart. In AppleWorks you set your step size so a size of "10" which in my case equates to labels of 10, 20, 30, ..., 80, 90 and so on up to the MAX value. I would often have 20 or more labels. In iWork the size is the number of labels and the maximum size (number of labels) I can display is 10. With a min value of 30 and a max value of 330 each label jumps 30 points which doesn't give the resolution I need to see...and....when showing the data point values on the page in iWork they overlap each other and are unreadable even when stretched out on legal paper.

What I am calling the X axis (horizontal) you are calling the Y axis. I need more than 10 labels on the vertical axis. Space for text is not a problem. I already have done exactly what you suggest for the horizontal axis. What I need is to get 30 value labels on the vertical axis (You show 5 in your example) along with the many more than 10 I have on the horizontal axis. The 10 through 300 value labels run vertically, and roughly 90 data points, one per day covering 3 months runs horizontally with a date label every 7 days. This graph represents values recorded daily at the same time each day.

SSRS 2008 R2 Line Chart Issue

Hi,
Problem:
I have an issue of SSRS Line Chart extending backward and forward (same issue discussed in post - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/3cebd5b2-bb15-4bd1-be16-0daadc613082/)
when Empty point option Value is set Average
I tried sorting on Category Group as suggested by Sean Boon in the URL mentioned above. But, still the issue is not fixed.
I am using SSRS R2.
Thoughts ?

I have an issue of SSRS Line Chart extending backward and forward (same issue discussed in post - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/3cebd5b2-bb15-4bd1-be16-0daadc613082/)
when Empty point option Value is set Average
I tried sorting on Category Group as suggested by Sean Boon in the URL mentioned above. But, still the issue is not fixed.
I am using SSRS R2.
Thoughts ?
I am running into the same issue again :(

Line chart cuts off x-Axis value

Hi All,
Have created a display to display an x-Axis value versus a Y-Axis value using a Line Chart. We want to maximize the chart space so we have removed the Legend from the display, problem is doing this cuts of part of the final x-Axis label and part of the final data point on the graph ? Why - can we move the borders out ?
Emmett

Emmett,
You can "Fake" some extra space out of the right side of the chart by setting the legend colors to blend into the background of the chart. This includes unchecking the "Use Pen Color?" box and setting the labels in the legend to match as well. Then simply set the legend to be whatever additional width you need. Other than this there's not really any other way that I can think of. Hope this helps.

Line Chart Problem, multiple point in X axis

I need to create a line chart , with many data points between two points in the X-Axis.
For example,
for month january my reading is 4,3,5,2,8
for month feb my reading is 1,5,3,5,2
I need only two points in X axis, which are january and feb and all the reading should come in gaph.
I am attaching a picture of the graph i required. Can any one help me how should i fill the arraycollection or XML in order to get the graph.

Here is a script which will illustrate how to conditionally display the X-axis label on a line chart:
DROP TABLE tmp_test_data;
CREATE TABLE tmp_test_data
(date_stamp DATE,
value      NUMBER);
BEGIN
dbms_random.seed(1234535678);
FOR i IN 1 .. 233 LOOP
    -- get a random integer between 1 and 100
    INSERT INTO tmp_test_data
     (date_stamp, value)
    VALUES (TRUNC(SYSDATE)-i, dbms_random.VALUE(1,100));
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT NULL link, CASE WHEN MOD(day,7) = 0 THEN day ELSE NULL END label, value
FROM (SELECT date_stamp, value, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY date_stamp) day
         FROM tmp_test_data a
         WHERE date_stamp >= TRUNC(SYSDATE)-90
         ORDER BY date_stamp) b
;There may be a better way to do this. I know this will work.

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

Graphs (line)- not showing timing correctly (X-Axis)

SSRS 2012
Hi guys
My dataset produce a column express as HH:mm:ss. So it means several rows by hours
The report is build up with a graph - Line.
Unfortunately, the Y axis (the horizontal axis showing timing) displays all the records correctly, but the X axis does not display each timing record (labeling).
Question:
how to show each record along the x-Axis (I tried to adjust the setting in the x-Axis properties without success)
Thanks

Hi Fasttrack2,
As per my understanding, there is a line chart, the records of Y-axis display correctly, labels of X-axis are not displayed entirely. You want to show each label of X-axis.
The axis interval defines the number of labels and accompanying tick marks on an axis. On the value axis, axis intervals provide a consistent measure of the data points on the chart. However, on the category axis, this functionality can cause categories
to appear without axis labels. We can specify the number of intervals we want in the axis Interval property. When we show properly formatted DateTime values on an axis, a chart will automatically display these values as days. To specify a date/time interval
for the x-axis, such as an interval of months or an interval of hours, we must format the axis labels and set the type of axis interval to a valid date or time interval. In this case, if the values displayed on the x-axis must evaluate to a DateTime data type,
we can set x-axis labels’ interval type to seconds by following steps:
Right-click the horizontal, or x-axis, of the chart, and open Horizontal Axis Properties.
Click Number in left pane. From the Category list, select Date, from the Type list, select a date format to apply to the x-axis labels.
Click Axis Options in left pane.
In Interval, type 1. In Interval type property, select Seconds.
For more information about Specify an Axis Interval, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239317(v=sql.110).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

Hi Guys,
     In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted. Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
     And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
     Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series. The solution is at this link:

How to show timestamp along with date in LOV dropdown

Hi,
We have a requirement to show timestamp along with date as a display column in a LOV drop down. Type of the date column in VVO is set to timestamp. But still it is showing only date in the UI.
But it is showing timestamp when we run it through AM. Is there any thing in to do in addition to display it in UI? Or it is not feasible? Please suggest me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Santhosh

The date format displayed in UI depends on applcore preference set for current user, try changing date format set for current user to include time along with date.

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,
Wendy Fu
