Stacked bar chart x axis crunching up

Post Author: Pranab
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have purchased Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I have used webservices call to get data from database.
One of the three charts of my dashboard is a stacked bar chart. Now my problem is, when the webservice gets data and refresh the chart, the x-axis of it becomes squeezed and the main chart becomes very small. It becomes so in runtime. However in design mode i didnt notice such behavior.
But same flash file s showing fine when I am using it somewhere else.
I am facing big trouble, as I tried to search in web about this problem, but couldnt find such case.

my friend,, its a bug,
(this happens when you make "ignore end blanks" for the chart)
i was mailing the business objects crystal xcelsius support team about that bug and they told me that its a bug and it may take months to be fixed,, we are waiting...

I'm currently using Apex 4.0.2.00.06 with anychart 5.1.3.
I have added a chart to the page but it is not pulling back all the values on the x-axis.....i have attempted to increase the width of the chart and enable scrolling to no avail....any ideas?
Cheers

Hi S,
Check out what you have set for the Maximum Rows under Chart Series/Series Query.

Y axis max ignored for horizontal stacked bar chart (SVG)

G'day,
I'm using the standard SVG horizontal stacked bar chart (multi-series). I have set the Y axis maximum value but it is ignored - bars are plotted to their maximum height.
I've had no such problem with vertical stacked bar charts.
We're running v2.2.0.00.32.
Is this a known bug?
Regards,
Chris.

I don't understand why you are soying it is not possible.
Actually I think it is and quite easily but maybe i missunderstand the question.
But anyway, here is what I would do:
In the spreadsheet, you can calculate the percentage of each status per project:
     Completed     Pending     Partially completed     Not Started
Project 1     78.10%     6.46%     10.51%     4.93%
Project 2     51.01%     2.62%     39.21%     7.15%
And then select these data for the stacked bar chart. Here you get the graph you are looking for.

Hi,
I want to create a stacked bar chart(Horizontal) for the following data
Project 1 --- >    2140, 177, 288, 135
Project 2 --->     856, 44, 658, 120
For following status respectively
Completed,      Pending ,Partially completed, Not Started
Project 1 and Project 2 will be on Y axis.
I want this data to be divided in percentage.
as shown below
Project 1 |___135_____|___177_____|______2140_______|
Project 2 | __44__|___120_____|________856__________|

Stacked bar chart with negative values

Hi,
trying to create a stacked bar chart I only get a grey picture. Reason: my data series provides positive and negative values.
Can anyone tell me a trick how to fix this problem?

User614143,
try to add the minumm negative value (but positive) to the parameter for the axis.
e.g. show value+3000 (assuming -3000 is the minimum value)
If you don't have a limitation for the negative values, it doesn't work. (or try to calculate first the most negative value in a before header process)
hope this helps.

Stacked bar chart with single group

CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Dear all,   I have a question about stacked bar chart with one group value(normally more than one group value is ok)   ex. YYYYMM      PRODUCT    AMT        -
        200601          ABC            1000        200602          ABC              300        200603          ABC              500       .....   the data collection is as above,then chart display: x-axis as YYYYMM,y-axis as PRODUCT...   but why this case the bar chart color not the same for each YYYYMM? and legend not display one PRODUCT as ABC only?   the bar chart display like this:   http://tkfiles.storage.live.com/y1po30C7CH6eW9phoLAXH89MBGwFLYdEZ3kOMQXUQzDzwM-VNnffibEwqPI8TIUNBm1f7uKTjnkaOI   ps. crystal report version is 8.5Regina

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.

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

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.
cheers

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

Hi I would like to create a stacked bar chart in my report.
It will have 2 dimensions and 1 Measure.
Dimension 1 = Month
Dimension 2 = Sales Item
Measure = Sales_quantity
I can't find anything in the user guide.
Is this possible ?

I am not sure what you understand as a "stacked bar chart" - There is a chart type "stacked bar chart" that we support. So you can have the Month as the x axis and the Sale Item as the different data sets.
We are using the Oracle BI Beans XML description for our charts. The BI Beans chart builder helps to define the tags - that is stored in the Web Alternate Text of the Image that is included by the chart builder.
The tag for the graph type is:
<Graph graphType="BAR_VERT_STACK"/>
To show 2 dimensions you need to modify the code the following way
1) Adjust the row count
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'MONTH'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'SALESITEM'))}">
2) Show the labels
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="SALESITEM">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./SALESITEM"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
3) Add multiple rows for the SALESITEM in each column (MONTH) in the data section.
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="MONTH">
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="SALESITEM">
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/Sales_quantity)"/></Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</DataValues>
The code stehms from an example I did recently for multiple line charts - so I made have some typos in there - from changing hte names. Hope it helps and you get it working.
We should support the stacked bar charts in the builder, but it is only recently that
people cared about the charts...
Good luck,
Klaus

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

Stacked bar chart errors

I am creating a stacked bar chart and put a max row count of 50, but the graph actually shows more than 50. After the 50 data points, all of the rest of the dates along the x axis are out of order. Is there another location i also need to enforce this max row count?

Hi HCMJ,
By default, the bar value will not overlapping each other in stacked bar chart, and we cannot increase or decrease the gap between the series in Reporting Services.
Based on my research, I find a workaround can achieve your requirement, please refer to the steps below:
Create a dataset with the query below (sample data):
CREATE TABLE #temp(name nvarchar(50),time nvarchar(50),value int)
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('Invoiced','YEAR',100),('Invoiced','MONTH',200),('Budget','MONTH',300),('Budget','YEAR',600)
SELECT * FROM #temp
Insert time field to Category Groups pane, and change the group name to “time”.
Insert value field to Values pane, then change the value to like below:
=min(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Insert another field with the following expression to Values pane:
=max(Fields!value.Value,"time")
Change the type of chart from Stacked Bar Chart to Range Bar Chart.
Right-click the Series field to change the Fill color to #9bff8c00 (DarkOrange with 155 Transparency) or any color with Transparency you like. Now we can get the following:
Preview it and get the following result:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Stacked Bar Chart Question

Hi, I am creating a stacked bar chart, and I am encountering 3 issues I hope you can help me with:
1) The chart has positive and negative values. I have zero based centerline checked, but I do not see 0 on the Y axis.
2) The applet width is 900 pixels. The chart can have a variable number of bars. When it has a small number of bars, they fill the entire chart. Is there a way to set the width to a fixed amount?
3) Is there a way to set a logical interval amount? Currently the numbering is not intuitive.
Thanks
p.s. We are using 11.5.3
Edited by: Richard Keegan on Jun 13, 2008 5:18 PM

Depending upon your query structure, you can force a zero based centerline by setting the Y-axis ranges dynamically. I am not working in 11.5.3 currently, but ran into a problem with line charts in 12.0.2. The zero centerline flag did not work, so I dynamically generated the ranges and linked them in.
You can probably do the same with a little extra BLS coding.

Stacked bar chart should not sort by values but by month

Hello,
I have a problem concerning a stacked bar chart (Apex 4.0 / Anychart). X-Axis contains Months and Y-Axis contains values. Values are splittet to 4 Values (a,b,c,d)
But if there is no value for a in February the sequence will jump to march displaying march before February and February at the end of the chart.
In every month some values are missing, so I am not able to sort for a specific value.
Do you know how to solve this problem? Thx in advance
Thorsten

Try to short in criteria and see how it works if not working check these links for reasons

Stacked Bar Chart - Values of the Bar

Hi,
I have a stacked bar chart with columns as "Project Name", Rows as "Stages", and measures as "Cost". I have different stages in the X axis and the Projects are stacked for each stages. When I scroll my mouse over the stacks it shows me the "Cost" of the project. Is there a way I can show both the "Project name" and the "Cost", when I roll my mouse over the stacks?
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi ssk,
I assume its 10g and is this what your looking for http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/01/obiee-xy-and-data-in-mouse-over-label.html
