SSRS Stacked Bar Chart Smart Label Problem

I have a SSRS 2008 Stacked Bar Chart. When the bar values are close then the Series labels often merge and overlap making the value unreadable. I have set the properties so that Smart Labels AllowOutSidePlotArea is true, NoMoveDirections Right = False etc.
but they still overlap.
How do I set so that the values are plotted in a readable manner?
Thanks

Hi CDG100,
According to your description, it seems that the issue which you occurred is that series label got overlapped when there are some sections with small value in the bar. If in this scenario, there are several properties you can use to try to get the labels
to fit better. The SSRS 2008 charts contain a feature called smart labels, and we expose a lot of options that control their behavior. Here are some properties that may help. First, select the data point, then go to the SmartLabels node in the property grid.
Expand the "NoMoveDirections" node. This will give you set of directions that you can use to restrict the directions that the labels can move in. You can try to change directions to see if it helps.
You can remove the CallOutLine by setting the CallOutStyle to None and the CallOutLineAnchor to None. You can also change their widths or their styles to see if that helps.
If the issue is still existed, we can try to set the horizontal axis interval to a small one. This will make the lower values big enough to display the label. However, it will make your chart really tall for the ones with high values.
Another possibility is to use Tooltip instead of actually displaying. Type a same expression with Value field in the Tooltip property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

BIP 11.1.1.7 - Stacked Bar chart data label not visible in pdf

Hi all,
I have a report built with the online editor. This contains a stacked bar chart with percentage values in a repeating section and I made the property DataVisible=true.
When I view the report in interactive mode it all works: I can see the data label for every value of the parameter but when I view in any other format (PDF, PPT, ecc..) the data labels are visible in the first chart (for the first value of the parameter) while in the other charts they aren't. This doesn't happens for other types of chart, for example with a pie chart.
Can someone help me or tell if it is a bug?
Thanks,
Micaela

Hi Mitalee,
Would you please check the PAM at https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100018972812014E
On page 11 it says 64 bit IE11 is not supported; is your IE11 32 bit or 64 bit?

Problems with Value Labels in Stacked Bar Chart

Post Author: RGR
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
When choosing a stacked bar chart to display the contribution of 2 values to the overall total, the graph plots correctly, but the value labels are incorrect. Instead of labeling the values for A & B, the graph is appropriately labeled for A ,but the label for B is the total for A+B. It should be just "B".
Has anyone else experienced this problem or has a solution. I am using CR 2008

I have this issue a lot with CR XI. As I have never used CR 2008, I am not sure of the commands. But in CR XI, right click on the graph and select Chart Options. On the Data Labels tab, at the bottom there are two options: Cumulative and Absolute. It defaults to Cumulative, so change to Absolute. That always works for me.

Problem with stacked bar chart label

Hi,
According to page export sql file I'm using APEX version 2.0.0.00.49.
I'm trying to make stacked bar chart but no matter what I do I can't have series label to be displayed within the chart area.
Is it a bug fixed in a latter version of APEX ? Is there something particular to do (for example an option to thick) to have them displayed ?
thank you for help.

The answer is yes there is something particular to do.
If you want your stacked bar chart to display well all series have to be the same and not null.
So you must write outer joined queries with nvl in the select.

Problem with Stacked Bar Chart

I have a problem with a stacked bar chart in Numbers 09. My chart is a single series with 6 categories. All of the categories have different values. The first 5 categories display correctly. However, the last category does not display in the color its supposed to, but rather shows up as white/background instead of the grey color shown on the legend. However, the value label is displayed in the proper place.
When I select other chart types (pie, regular bar, or regular column) the category shows up like it's supposed to.
This is kind of annoying since I would rather use stacked bar instead of a pie chart. Is there an upper limit on the number of values it can display as a stacked bar chart? Is this just a bug? Thanks!

Here's my result with six values in a single series. I double clicked the last bar to change its colour from the default grey (which was visible) to magenta.

Problems with date in stacked bar charts

I am having a lot of problems trying to generate stacked bar charts where one of the fields is a date. Using the chart generator in word, the stacked bar charts work perfectly if I use (for example) Labels=Country, Series=Product, Values=Quantity(Sum) . The correct quantities are shown.
However if I change Country to Expiry (date), the quantities are all wrong ? Such that I have no idea how it is obtaining the values.
The generated code is :
<Graph depthAngle="50" depthRadius="8" pieDepth="30" pieTilt="20"
       seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT" graphType="BAR_VERT_STACK">
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>

Problems with stacked bar chart in Java SDK and CRDesigner

Hi @ll,
I have an issue with the rendering of stacked bar charts through the Java SDK and the CRDesigner. unfortunately, my research in this forum and with the help of aunt google didn't lead to success.
These are my problems:
I have a stacked bar chart which, when datasets/stacks increase in number per bar, displays errors:
1.) the single stacks of the bar merge together randomly and form bigger stacks with the sum of the singles. the information of single stacks gets lost in the bar.
2.) the total sum of all singles is bigger than the maximum value on the y-axis displays. thus, the scaling is wrong.
1.) appears in the CRDesigner as well as in the Java SDK
2.) only occurs in the Java SDK
Is there any trick to turn the random merging of slices off?
Is the false scaling a known issue and is there a bugfix/workaround?
many thanks for all advice
Tom

hi folks,
i found the answer to the above problems:
when you specify the recordfields that are responsible for the change to the next stack or bar, the 'stack' fields have to be unique.
in my case i evaluated durations in msec (as stacks) from different devices (as bars). randomly i had the same durations for one device. what happens is, that CR does not notice a change and accumulates to the first stack with the same duration.
surprisingly this also seems to derange the axis scaling. fix the problem by simply using an overall unique recordfield like rownum or a formula that forms the current timestamp to text as identifier for the stacking.

Normal/stacked bar chart problem

hi,
i have created a bar chart which has 2 bars for each customer. (the customer is on the x-axis). how i did this, is i created two formulas and placed them in the 'show value(s)' box in the chart expert.
however, what i want to do is to have one bar for each customer subdivide. If i change the type of chart to 'stacked bar chart' each customer has one bar and that bar is subdivided. But I want each customer to have 2 bar (which i have at present) and want one of those two bars to be subdivided.
How would i go about doing this? (if it can even be done(?) )
thanks

Can you print labels to the side on stacked bar charts in Crystal

can you print labels to the side of the bars on stacked bar charts in Crystal?

Hi Ginger,
I don't see an option to do that in CR. Is there a specific reason why you want them on the sides or is it just a client requirement?

Suppress zero values for data labels in a stacked bar chart.

I've seen this question asked before, but I can't seem to find anyone who knows how to do this. I've made a stacked bar chart from a crosstab result, and I don't want to show labels that have a zero value. This seems like others would have this same issue as it can really clutter up a chart. The link below shows my chart. I am trying to remove the labels that say "On-PW 0"
http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa472/gno722/question%20examples/crystalquestion.jpg

the steps below will work on a regular chart..not sure about stacked...
1) in Preview mode of the report click on a Y axis value and go to Data Y Axis Options
2) go to Scale and set a Minimum Value of .001
3) check the Don't Draw Out Of Scale Values

Show Data labels on stacked bar chart

Hi All:
I am trying to show an inside data label on a stacked bar chart. For some reason Flex 4 does not like labelPosition="inside" in the mx below. Thanks Bob
<mx:BarChart

This will do it.
import mx.charts.*;

<mx:series>
<mx:BarSeries id="MySeries" displayName="Test" xField="" labelPosition="inside" labelFunction="myLabelFunction"/>

Problem on stacked bar chart?

Hi,
I am trying to create a stacked bar chart. On this chart, Y Axis is the status like new, half finished, finished, X Axis is the value. 3 series: North America, Asia, Europe.
On the Y Axis, the order of the status from top to bottom should be new, half finished, finished. But North America doesn't have status of new. Asia doesn't have status of half finished. When I run this chart based on the order of the series above. The Y Axis on the chart ends up the order like: half finished, finished, new.
How can I correct it?
Thanks for your help.

Can someone help me?

Stacked Bar Chart with Multiple Series Sort Question

Hi,
Apex version 4.1.1
I have a stacked bar chart with three separate series, one showing customer effort, another showing project effort and the third showing other effort, summarized by calendar week. The x-axis of the chart is the calendar "week of" date, and the y-axis has a bar for each of the three series. Not every type of effort occurs every week.
When AnyChart renders the chart, the order of entries on the x-axis seems to be dependent both on which series are present in a given week as well as the "week of" date. Weeks with all three series sort in order by calendar date, followed by weeks where just the 2nd & 3rd series are present, followed by weeks where just the 3rd series is present. See this [url http://tinypic.com/r/b9zdt/6] picture of the chart noting the "week of" dates. Note that the months go Sep-Oct-Nov-Aug-Oct.
Is there a way to force AnyChart to sort the x-axis in chronological order regardless of whether there is data for all three series for a given week? I have looked through the AnyChart XML reference but cannot find a way to do this.
Incidentally, I can solve the sorting problem by combining all three series into a single query:
select
null as link,
week_of as label,
sum(customer_effort) as "Customer Effort",
sum(project_effort) as "Project Effort",
sum(other_effort) as "Training, Admin and Other Effort"
from ...But if I do this, I cannot figure out how to have each bar on a given week link to a different detail page, e.g., if I click on a bar representing customer effort I want to link to one page, but if I click on a bar representing project effort, I want to link to a different page. I have had a look at the [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:59:1570983160946101::NO:::] chart examples posted on apex.oracle.com, but cannot figure out how to apply to multiple series in a single query.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Jeff. I did try this but for whatever reason it doesn't make a difference. I think it is because if there's no data for a given series for a certain week, there is no entry in the data set that is sent to AnyChart.
I was able to get around the issue by "filling in" the missing weeks from each data series. To generate the list of "Week Of" dates for a given date range, I used this code:
select
     trunc (each_day) as week_of,
     0 as effort
from (
     select
          (to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 2 - to_char(to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format),'D') - 1) + level each_day
     from dual
     connect by level <= to_date(:p920_end_date,:app_date_format) - to_date(:p920_start_date,:app_date_format) + 1
where
     to_char (each_day, 'D') = '2'This creates an effort entry of 0 for each week within the date range; I use the Monday date of a week as the "Week Of" date. I then union this with my actual data and summarize by week and viola, I get the weeks in order. This also has the benefit of showing a week for which there are no entries in any of the three series.
Thanks for taking a look at this.
Mike

Urgent: Combination of stacked bar chart and line chart

Hi,
I have the following request: First I need series depending on the year (no problem) and two stacks for each series (first problem). Now I need two line, line 1 for total of stack 1 and line 2 for total of stack 2. Both lines should have a label showing the difference from one to next series in percent.
Can something like this be done in BI Publisher. I got an excel sheet with such a chart, so it is possible there. Any templates, hints or tipps?
I need this very urgent because it's the main report of my project. So if this is not working I can stop the project and have to find another reporting tool.
Thanks

I've made again some tests by myself and recognized that there's something strange in the chart.
When I create a stacked bar chart with values of DURATION, labels for TYPE_NAME and series of YEAR the first thing is, that it is not ordered. So how can this be done?
The second error, is hard to explain ...
Let's say I've the following values:
        Type1     Type2     Type3
2005    1            2             3
2006    4            5             6
2007    7            8             9I would expect the following chart:
2005     2006     2007
1             4          7            Type1
2             5          8            Type2
3             6          9            Type3But the chart shows me the following:
2005     2006     2007
1             7          4            Type1
5             2          8            Type2
3             6          9            Type3You can see, the values are totally mixed, the code of the chart is the following:
chart:

SVG CHart error ORA-20001 with Stacked Bar Chart HTML DB 1.6.0.00.87

Well,
I've just been struggling for a couple of hours with a cluster bar chart giving the same problem.
The problem is definitely with "ORDER BY".
I guess the graphing chart is taking the sql query as a string and then does some other manipulation on it which ends abnormally when you include the order by clause.
I presume that if you embed the query in a
SELECT * FROM (<actual query with order by>)
it might mitigate the problem.
