Simple 2d Bar chart

Hello, what is the best way of approaching a problem like this?
Typically my first thought was something like having a label for each section vertically, then for the data i am trying to show i could call the setSize method with it which would set the chart at the correct height?
Being a novice with GUI's this is probably a really pants idea, thus why i would welcome all opinions
Regards

Problem with Bar Chart using Date Data

I am trying to make a simple horizontal bar chart as a Gantt chart. I am trying to set the min and max for the X axis but it is acting strangely. As you can see in the screenshot below, I set the min to 1/1/2000 but the chart uses 9/28/2011. Similar problem with the max setting. Am I doing something wrong here? Can anyone duplicate this? Anyone have a solution other than this workaround I am now using (which I assume will break my chart once Apple fixes this problem)?

BadUnit,
I assume Numbers, like me, is confused why you would set min/max limits that do not include the data?
I do get the same result as you when I enter the time range for the chart as 1/1/2000 thru 1/1/2004.
I even tried making a separate table for the chart:
There is definitley a problem.
When I enter, what I think are reasonable, min and max dates for the chart
min = 1/1/2013
max = 12/31/2015
The chart adjusts like this:

Cannot build vertical stacked bar chart! HELP!

I have a simple stacked bar chart I want to build with month/year across the bottom that shows the number of orders by category (A,B,C and D). I understand that I must have 2 dimensions and 1 measure. However, the chart is not counting the number of orders by category correctly. I cannot find anything on the net about how to create a vertical chart and troubleshooting why it won't work.
Here's an Excel Pivot of the data:
Year/tmonth        A     B     C     D
2009/12                    1     1
2010/02          1     1          2
2010/04               1          1
2010/06               1          1
2010/07        2          1          3
Grand Total        2     1     4     1     8

OK, I've used your formula in my measure variables as follows:
var_stackA =Sum(Count([CAT])Where([CAT]="A"))
var_stackB =Sum(Count([CAT])Where([CAT]="B"))
var_stackC =Sum(Count([CAT])Where([CAT]="C"))
var_stackD =Sum(Count([CAT])Where([CAT]="D"))
This is my result (as long as I leave the notification in the table):
Notification     var_chart_receiptmonth     CAT     var_stackA     var_stackB     var_stackC     var_stackD

Where did the A category counts go??
I've got 2 universes: GR_MRO Notification Tasks and GR_MRO Operations Details
I'm merging on two dimension variables (notification and sales organization)
My report data is filtered using the following 2 filters:
var_A = 1    calculated via =If([Task Code]="2/CT-HOLD/RTQT";1;0) - detail variable
var_RTQTDate > 1   calculated via =If([Task Code]="2/CT-HOLD/RTQT";Min([Created On]);0) - measure variable
Task Code is a dimension variable from the GR_MRO Notification Tasks universe
A few more calcuations for your review:
CAT = If([var_DaysAged2]<6;"A";If([var_DaysAged2]<11;"B";If([var_DaysAged2]<21;"C";"D"))) - dimension variable
var_Days Aged2 =If(IsError(DaysBetween(Min([var_corereceiptdate]);Min([var_RTQTDate2])));0;DaysBetween(Min([var_corereceiptdate]);Min([var_RTQTDate2]))) - measure variable
var_corereceiptdate =[Receipt Date] - detail variable
[Receipt Date] - variable from the GR_MRO Operation Details - dimension variable

It should be simple.
Lets say you have X - Axis with values (AA, BB, CC etc). and Y-Axis bars with values (10, 15, 25)
You will have to give onchange of the X-Axis. and in the bottom (Show Values) you will have to chose Y Axis (SUM/Avg/Max) what ever you desire.
If you simply want to show the values without the summary operation, create a Formula field and insert it under Show Values. You will have to check the Don't summarize values.

Create a Simple Bar Chart - Numbers

I would like to create a bar chart in numbers that totals line items by month and displays a bar chart by month. Column A has dates associated with the other columns of the spreadsheet running horizontal. Does the charts functionality have a tool that would count by month, or is there a formula that can be used, or would applescript be needed to run the count?
hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. So the simplest view of the chart is below. I would like to have a bar chart that would just total line events by month. From the below example, august would have 2 and september would have 1.
Let me know if you would need more information.

Stacked bar chart to show vertically

I want to show stacked bar chart vertically.
Requirement is
Mat1 - WIP Qty 14, Inv 20, Finished 22
Mat2 - WIP Qty 16, Inv 10, Finished 18
We want to display chart where Material will be displayed on Y-axis and diffrent Qty will be shown as one bar for each material stacked like stacked bar starting from left to right.
We did this using stacked bar but in that case the material will be displayed on X-axis and bar is showing from bottom to top. Is there any way we can rotate this chart by 90 degree?
Nilesh Modi

Hi Nilesh,
I do not believe that there is an out-of-the-box feature that would suffice your needs.
However, the work-around is relatively simple, although it needs a bit of coding.
If you are sourcing the image directly, the image could be refreshed using Javascript settimeout function. If you are sourcing the location of the image from an iCommand, you could use the update event of the applet.
Besides ... if everything was too easy, there would be no need for you and I
Cheers,

How to change the color (or fill) of a SINGLE bar in a bar chart series

I've searched the forum and consulted the help system in Keynote '09, and I can't find the answer.
I have a simple bar chart with 6 bars. I want to select two of the bars and turn them a different color. I only seem to be able to change the color of the series as a whole. I can only select the series as a whole, and I can't Ungroup it or even copy it to the clipboard (it beeps!). I've tried changing the color of the number represented by the bar in the underlying table; can't be done.
Am I attempting something impossible? If so (grumble grumble), why hasn't Apple made it possible? It seems like an obvious thing to allow.

It is unfortunately impossible -- the individual bars are not selectable. As a workaround you can a) overlay them with a rectangular object, or b) overlay them with a second chart identical to the first, with all the bars except the two set to zero.

Clickable Bars in a Bar Chart

I would like some guidance on how to implement a bar chart with clickable bars that would let me highlight the clicked bar and prominently display the X and Y values related to it either somewhere in or overlaying the chart or elsewhere in the
form. The chart needs to allow positive and negative bars, ideally with a zero line, but without X or Y labels, grid lines, or other visual elements. I am using Visual C# 2010 Express to do the programming.
I have been exploring the Chart class and articles that talk about making it clickable. However, none seem to address this type of need. Can I do this using Chart, or is there some other base class with which to do this? Also, will I need
to detect the mouse screen location and programmatically map it to a location within the chart to determine which bar was clicked, and then paint the chart myself to highlight the bar, or is there some simpler way to do what I want?
Thanks for your help. Steve
P.S. This is a Windows Forms app developed with Visual C# 2010 Express if that matters.

Display ISO week number instead of date on x axis in Bar Chart

Hi,
I've created a simple SSRS report based on bar chart that shows several milestones. Everything works fine for me except I’m not able to convert the date into ISO week number format.
I played around with different approaches. I was able to convert the date into an ISO week Format directly on the SQL Server. That
wasn't a problem.
But unfortunately I’m not able to display the week number on the horizontal axis in my Bar Chart. I tried both fields: TaskFinishDate and TaskFinishDateMS...
I would like to show the ISO week number instead of the date within the Bar Chart on the horizontal axis.
Any ideas/hints/help is really appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Per my understanding that you want to get the week number of the year based on the field "TaskFinishDate" which is datetime type and display the week number in the x-axis instead of the field "TaskFinishDate", right?
I have check the snapshot you have provided and it seems you have change the format of the datetime field in the x-axis like "dd.MM.YYYY", If you can't make the week number to display correctly in the x-axis, the issue can be caused by you haven't
change the format to Number in the category.
Details information below for you reference:
I assume you have use expression in the Label like below to convert the datatime TaskFinishDate in to ISO week number like below:
=DatePart(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
or
=DatePart("ww",Fields!TaskFinishDate.Value）
Right click the X-axis and select the "Horizontal Axis Properties", then click the Number to change the format to "Number" as below:
Preview you will get the weeknumber display in the x-axis correctly.
If you still have any problem, please feel to ask.

IPad not rendering WebI bar chart very well

dear all, I have a simple webi document with a bar chart.
in the webi, my Category Axis is "month", my Value Axis is "Sales", and region Color is "Company".
in the webi it all looks good, but the iPad representation has a problem displaying the Companies.
on the iPad along where the month goes (along the x axis), the companies are all grouped together, then i get each month.
here's and example of what i mean for the month of 1/2001 and 2/2001. the letters a,b, and c, are indicative of the three companies, and the nnumbers are the sales bar colours, 1 is red, for company a, 2 is blue, for company b, and 3 is yellow, for company c, let's say.
on the webI, each month would look similar to this
1
1 2                       1
1 2 3                     1 2
1 2 3                     1 2 3
1/2001                    2/2001 (x axis)
on the iPad, the company is displayed, on the x axis, unlike the Webi document, where the month should is, then above the company you have each months measures, in the example below you can see that the months are grouped with the company
1
1 1   2
1 1   2 2   3
1 1   2 2   3 3
a a   b b   c c (x axis)
so you see, from this, i would get, working from left to right, company 1, month 1, 2, ...., then company b, month 1, 2, ..., then finally company c, month 1, 2, ... and so on.
this example is rather difficult to see here, but i hope someone has encountered this problem and can advise.
i can send screen shots so anyone, which may help.
thanks
g

Hi Glen,
not sure if i got the Example completely right - you're using the SAP BI Mobile App?
However, according to the recent "Mobile Release Notes 4.0.1", Column Charts with multiple Dimensions are not supported yet.
In General, the capabilities of the App are still relatively small. I Would recommend you the above mentioned Document, which contains a complete list of limitations.

Horizontal Cluster bar chart

I am tasked by my PHB to produce a horizontally-stacked bar chart, the horizontal axis is for simple numbers of events, the bars are types of events. It should also have a negative 'reflection' (see drawing below) There is no Z axis. I have successfully generated this as a vertical stacked bar chart (very simple) and I think a simple rotate 90 degrees right would do it, but I can't find one.
It should look like this, ignoring the dashes:
######## ######## Event 1, Value 8
----###### ###### Event 2, Value 6, etc
Any ideas or workarounds welcome!

EDIT Post to refer to a horizontal cluster bar chart which is what I really want
Edited by: mansfields on Dec 3, 2008 2:44 PM

The horizontal equivalent of the vertical stacked bar would be a horizontal stacked bar, which is there on the menu for me to see. As said in my previous post 'what I am after is the horizontal equivalent of the vertical cluster bar'
To repeat what my requirement is, I have a group of sales people who have five measures each against them, and I can already graph them thus:
6 5 4 3 3
but I want to graph them this way, like 90 degrees rotated to the right:
6 ######
5 #####
4 ####
3 ###
3 ###
I think this would be called a horizontal cluster chart, and there is no option on the list that is called that.
Hope this makes it clearer, and thank you very much for your time and effort so far.

EDIT
From the online books section - "you can only display clustered bar charts in vertical format". That sorts that out then.

Creating Bar Charts using Java and Display in jsp

Hi..Is it possible to create a servlet that processes data from database and display the values as Bar Charts in jsp pages. If its possible, is there any examples on how to achieve that?

I don't get it. You already know what needs to be done to solve your problem, the only thing you are missing is the HOW. That's the easy part, if only you break down what you have to know:
1) how do I show an image on a website (this is a basic HTML question actually, not actually related to servlets/JSPs directly)
2) how do I fetch the path from a database (JDBC question) so that I can use this path to link to my image on disc
So what is preventing you from figuring out how to do these two simple tasks? Some clever google searches should give you all the information you need in no time.
by the way: are you sure that you need to store these paths in the database? Is this part of some file upload component?

Creating floating bar charts in Numbers '09

I have what seems a fairly simple requirement, but can't quite work out how to do it in Numbers...
I have a set of price ranges (quotes) and I want to put them on a graph, so I can see at a glance how they they tend to fall.
Ideally, I'd like the X axis to be price and the Y axis to be basically nothing - each quote gets its own line.
So I'm after a stack of horizontal bars indicating the from - to price range.
It doesn't seem that this should be too onerous, but I simply can't spot an appropriate graph type.
Anyone?

I am trying to picture what you mean but I can't seem to. But I'll give it a shot.
EDIT: I wrote all this then re-read your post and this isn't what you were asking for. Oops.
All charts (graphs) need X's and Y's, though the Y's could be all be the same constant value. So the data you need to plot is a column of quotes (X data) with a column of 1's or checkboxes (Y data) next to it. I am guessing that you want your quotes to be spread across the X axis, not spaced evenly like they are in the bar charts. Otherwise you probably wouldn't be asking. You have two choices on how to do this.
First way:
If you can create a list of evenly spaced quotes in the header column (A) with a column (B) of checkboxes next to it, you can use a bar chart. You would put a check next to any quote you want to appear on the chart. So you might have a column with quotes of $1, $2, $3, etc with checkboxes next to each which you can check/uncheck. This probably isn't practical in this case but I don't know your data so I'm throwing it out there.
Second way:
Have a non-header column (B) of quotes and a corresponding column of 1's. Create a scatter chart. This will give you data points, not bars. In the Chart Inspector, Series tab, click on Advanced and add error bars to the Y axis. Make them negative only and 100%. Set the data point symbol to None. Then go to the Graphic Inspector and change the error bars so the line type is a straight line, the width is greater, and the color is what you want. This still isn't a bar chart but it is more like one.
There are variations on the second method. You can remove the Y axis gridlines and value labels so you have a single horizontal line (the X axis). You can plot 0's instead of 1's and make positive, fixed value error bars.

Stacked Bar chart and Line graphs

I have a report in Crystal which has stacked bar chart and a line graph together in one report.
Is it possible to do the same thing in WebI . Can anybody share the experience.

Today you can only have a simple bar (not stacked) and line chart in Web Intelligence. We are looking to improve charts in the future. In the meantime you can look into the masher from the labs...
