Stacked bars with "stairs" in WAD

Hi everybody,
I've got a special problem in Web Applications Designer. I know how to build a chart (type: stacked bars). But is it possible to get these bars displayed like stairs?
It should look like this:
<--100%--
>
70----
****************|---20---|
***************************|10|
"*" represents empty space
In comparison to a normal stacked bars chart (w/o stairs):
70----
20-----
10
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Christoph Riesel

Hi Frauke,
Sorry for late answer and thank you much for your comment!
The problem is that waterfall or delta diagram always show the end values and not only the start value and the interim values.
In the meantime I learned, that the name of the diagram I want to see is called "pareto diagram".
My conclusion from other forums contributions regarding "Pareto" is, that you need to calculate with cumulated key figures.
As BEx is not able to calculate with cumulated key figures (BEx always calculates with non-cumulated figures) the only solution would be to create a "cumulated key figures" in the InfoProvider directly. This makes it quite complicated as these cumulated key figures should be based on TOP20 customers in our reporting...
So maybe the best solution is to use a different diagram type if you consider "cost-benefit ratio" instead of Pareto.
Regards,
Christoph

Apex 3.2 SVG Chart - How to plot Stacked Bar With Negative Values ?

Currently Apex 3.2 Flash Chart (AnyChart 3.x) does not support Stacked bars with negative values.
I try with SVG Stacked bars with positive values only, chart ploting works fine. When I add a new series with negative values (i.e -1) and I get a blank Chart region with no error.
Based on this statement from Apex's documentation:
*"AxisLine Indicates zero on charts that have negative values."*
I appreciate your help on how to translate this statement into action ?
(i.e how to override .Axisline class in CSS section ?)
Thank you very much for your time.

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.

Stack Bar with floating series, invisible or transparent series

In Excel, I have several stack bar diagrams that have invisible, hidden series that make the remaining visible series appear to be floating. What is the best way to do this in Xcelsius. The only solution I have found is to use the "iTheme" theme, and make the invisible series the same color as the Plot Area. Is there another method or theme?
I am not a fan of the "iTheme". I have experiemented with other themes, but other themes' texture, gradient makes it impossible to fully hide the invisible series.
Is there another theme out there with a "flat", no gradient feel, with no shadow, or series border (or a series border you can control)?

hello Ultim4t3, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]] or in case there is no new version available at the moment or this doesn't solve the issue, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Flex 2 Stacked Bars with Negative Numbers?

Hi guys, the strangest thing: I have a client requesting
sacked bars for bar charts/column charts however, I can't seem to
get the negative numbers to go below a positive x-axis.
Do these bug logs suggest I need Flex 3?
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-921
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1181
and if that's the case, how will upgrading effect my current
project?
Thank you.

Great, as in another thread defined and discused, i am
a scripter, not a programmer, but i like oaying with math.
Daves method is easy, but what about Random( -300,1200).
that must be a huge array to initialize.
my function has a restriction:
it works only, if there is a zero in the range or you'll
never get the highest number of the range. Also it can only have a
linear range.
Dave can input a list like this gRandomChoises = [
1,3,5,7,11,13,17] , what can be very usefull in some cases.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Problem with stacked bar query

Hello,
I tubbing a while on this already and probably the answer is right there.
I have table with date,product,qty column and I want a stacked bar with the sum of quantity for each product for a certain period.
so period is the label but how can I created the sum(qty) for each item and display it in a stacked bar?
Thanks for the help

Hi Irvine,
If you want to try and make a stacked bar chart, you will need to add a new serie for each product you'd like to see in your chart. I don't see any other way to make this generic for each product in your products table.
But if you like to make a new serie for each product i'll give you a small example on how you can do this.
First create your chart and fill in a query for your first product:
example:
select product,substr(p_date,4,3),sum(quantity)
from table
where lower(name) = 'keyboard'
group by product,substr(p_date,4,3)
This will give you as result: the sum of the quantity for a certain month for the product 'keyboard'. This will be your first serie.
Now go to the chart attributes and choose 'add series', now you can add the serie for the next product, f.e.:
select product,substr(p_date,4,3),sum(quantity)
from table
where lower(name) = 'mouse'
group by product,substr(p_date,4,3)
Do this for every product you'd like to add to your chart.
Grtz,

cfchart Can I overlay a none-stacked cfchartseries type="line" over a stacked bar graph?

Creating the stacked bar graph works well... but I'd like to overlay some non-stacked line-type chartseries over the bars. I don't appear to be able to do this as the lines just stack on top of one another.
Any ideas if you can mix stacked bars with non-stacked lines? (CF8)
Thanks

The graph wizard in Reports 9i allows you to create a dual Y combination graph - is this not sufficient for your needs, or am I missing something?

ADF DVT: Hide certain series of the Horizontal Stacked Bar

Hello,
I am trying to achieve a 'waterfall chart' effect by using the <dvt:horizontalBarGraph> of type BAR_HORIZ_STACK. I have really 3 series to show with different colors, but i also provided the 4th series to be the 'offset' value - which tells from which position on Y-axis the first colored bar should be shown. In another word, i created a horizontal stacked bar, with 4 series of data, but i want to hide the bar for 1st series, make it completely transparent.
I tried to play with <dvt:series> attributes, but can't find 'visible' or 'transparent' or something like that. And i tried to make the background of the first bar to be the same as the chart background - but that won't give good result: First of all, i want to keep the gradient color effect of the bars, but there's no easy way to keep the background to have the same gradient color in the same areat; Second, due to the same reason i can't make a 3D bar to be transparent over a mono-colored background. Third, i want to see the vertical grid lines which connects to the scale values, so even if i make the bar with plain color with no 3D or gradient effect, i will make the background grid lines disconnected.
Thank you very much for your help!
Feng

Achie,
This is not an issue with the graph as such, but the data issue. Since the value of the data that is being displayed is huge and other datas are relatively very small to occupy the graph area (Ex : 60105 Vs 10).
You may want to try implementing zoomListener and/or zoomScrollListener for the graph to zoom and see the small datas.

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.
Numbers 2.0.3, iBook G4, OS X v10.4.11
(Shot in the dark:) Try double clicking the value label, then changing the order position of this item.

Barry

Using stored parameter from data control class with stacked bar-graph

Hi folks,
I'm relatively new to ADF & EJB so I want to apologise in advance if this question seems rudimentary to many of you.
Edit: I should have mentioned that I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5
I'm having a hard time determining how to retrieve the value from a variable to be assigned to a property of the bar graph I'm trying to display on my JSF page.
I have tried to briefly summarise the logic below for reference.
I have a data control class (ActivityChart) that includes a method "getActivityDetail" returns a List of custom Objects (ActivityDTO) that are the underlying data for my bar graph.
public class ActivityChart {
    private Double axisScale;
    public ActivityChart() {
        super();
        axisScale = 0.0;
    public List<ActivityDTO> getActivityDetail(List<String> businessUnits) {
        List<ActivityDTO> returnNewList = new ArrayList<ActivityDTO>();
        List<TransactionDTO> dataList = new ArrayList<TransactionDTO>();
        TransactionSessionBean transBean = lookupTransactionSessionBean();
        if (businessUnits != null && !businessUnits.isEmpty()){
            dataList = transBean.getActivityData(SystemUtil.getCurrentUser(), businessUnits);
            returnNewList = processTransactions(dataList);
            axisScale = calcAxisScale(returnNewList);
        return returnNewList;
...The TransactionDTO object is basically a mirror of the entity object to store the fields from the queried db transactions.
The ActivityDTO object contains a String value (x-axis label) and 3 Double values for the values required for the bar graph.
What I'm trying to do is dynamically set the scale for the 2 y-axes (I'm using a dual-axis stacked bar graph) because the auto calculated values are not aligned.
Right now I've got the two relevant elements of the bar graph hard-coded with a specific axis value:
<dvt:y1Axis axisMaxAutoScaled="false" axisMaxValue="100.0"/>
<dvt:y2Axis axisMaxAutoScaled="false" axisMaxValue="100.0"/>.
The value I want to use for the Y-axis is calculated and stored in the "axisScale" variable in the above class.
Really at a loss of how to move forward from here.
Would very much appreciate any guidance/direction offered.
Thanks,
Karim
Edited by: 973742 on Nov 28, 2012 8:12 AM

Looks like I may have found the answer!
I had to set up the variable in the bindings for the page and then reference the variable from the binding and add the property inputValue.
ie. value="#{bindings.axisScale.inputValue}"

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

Hi,
during I put a How-To into execution (How To Create a Stacked Bar Chart) I'll get the following error code:
SVG Chart error:ORA-20001:line_Chart error:ORA-20001:
get_data error:ORA-20001:Parse error:ORA009
(see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/index.html)
This Situation occurs when i add a second series to the
chart. The first series works fine. I've used the following SQL-Statement:
select null l, sales_month, revenue from (select to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY') sales_month, sum(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) revenue, to_date(to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY'),'Mon YYYY') sales_month_order from DEMO_PRODUCT_INFO p, DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS oi, DEMO_ORDERS o where o.order_timestamp <= (trunc(sysdate,'MON')-1)and o.order_timestamp > (trunc(sysdate-365,'MON'))and o.order_id = oi.order_id and oi.product_id = p.product_id and p.category = 'Audio' group by to_char(o.order_timestamp,'Mon YYYY') order by sales_month_order);
Please help.

Detlev

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.

Stacked bar chart with custom x axis labels

Is there a way to build this simple chart in labview that I did in Excel? I need to have many x axis labels and there could be from 5 to 100 of them depending on the data set.
Attachments:

Hi id,
Thank you for your response. I hope you are doing well.
There is an example in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples..). It is titled, Stacked Bar Graph. You can search for it if you switch tabs in the Example Finder window. This should help you create a stacked bar graph. To help you with your veritcal axis labels, here is a knowledge base link that details the process:

Stacked Bar Chart with data from a Web Service

Hi,
I'm working on Dashboard Design (version 14.0.1.287) and I'm trying to create a chart linked to data from a webservice.
With a Year in input, my webservice gives an Amount per Cities and Products
Data retrieved look like this (Sheet1) :
Paris          Tablets          45
Paris          Laptops          12
Paris          Cellulars          89
New-York     Tablets          56
New-York     Laptops          36
New-York     Cellulars          1
Londres          Tablets          150
Londres          Laptops          3
Londres          Cellulars          45
Then I use a Pivot Table (created manually in Excel) looking like this (Sheet2) :
               Tablets     Laptops     Cellulars
Paris          45          12          89
New-York     56          36          1
Londres          150          3          45
The chart is a Stacked Bar Chart plugged on the previous Pivot Table
I create 3 series (one per Product), values (X) are set with Amount
Category labels (Y) are set with Cities
The goal is to have a dynamic chart (series and categories must update if a new city or a new product appears)
So my question is : how can I set up the chart directly with data retrieved from webservice on Sheet1?
Thx a lot !
Nicolas

hi
First thing , bad news if you are using .Net framework 1,
just forget it, Flex 2 doesn't work well with framework 1, but 2nd,
good news, if you want to use webservices, you'll have to make an
array of objects on .Net Side and send it as objects to flex, i saw
an example on the net but i can't seem to remember where, on the
other hand,if you want to simply use, like i do, HTTPSERVICE its a
very nice way to talk with .Net and you can see my example here
http://flex1-for-dummies.blogspot.com
By the way, in your code, you have a request tag , but you
aren't requesting anything, because if you were you would have to
make like this
<mx:request>
<Artist>{yourinputtext.text}</Artist>
</mx:request>
So if you don't have an input text, you don't need a request
tag, only the operation.

Stacked bar chart with single group

Post Author: rt50896
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.
Mike
