Text in legend in line chart

Hello all.
I have line chart with the legend. This legend contain text with length more then 20 characters. The text cuts off by some characters from the end, for example, it should be
1. Test1Test2Test3
2. Test4Test5Test6
and it will be shown like
1. Test1Test2Te
2. Test4Test5Tes
Changes in legend config window in Answers and in file cordalayout.cxml don't work.
How else can I fix this problem?

What OS is on your server? All browsers?
I'm actually getting the exact opposite situation as you, I created legend items with really long text and they aren't being truncated at all. Even if I set the truncate value. I'm on Windows Server 2K3 and the same version of OBIEE.
I'll keep testing to see if I can come up with something, but if someone else out there knows what's going on, I'd love to hear it.

Possible Bug when selecting the "text" tab on a Line Chart

Thought I would pass this on. Not sure if it has been logged yet or not. Sometimes when building a line chart, the properties field locks up when I try and select the "text" tab. The dialog boxes in the "text" tab do not show up and the "layout" tab is also highlighted. I do not know what causes this, but it has happened to me numerous times. The only solution is to totally delete the line chart and start all over. It may be related to copying and pasting. I set up a chart the way I need it and then copy/paste it rather than making all the changes on a default settings chart when I need another chart.
Stan

Hi Stan,
Are you encountering this problem in the RTM version or SP1?
Can you list the exact steps to reproduce this problem in the most simple case?
Example: add line chart, bind to data, copy, paste, click on text tab...............
Thanks,

How do I change legends in line charts when you change line type

I have created a line chart with two lines. I only have a black and white printer. If I change the two lines to black, the legends change to match. To distinquish the two lines I change the line type making one dots and the other dashes. The lines change but the lengends don't. This makes the graph useless.
Any suggestions on how to get the lines in the legends to change to match the lines in the graph?
Thanks for any help.
Paul

I could not get the line legends to differ either. You can add a marker to only 1 of the plots though:

Legend with a line chart

I am working on a line chart and want to add a legend to it.
For the purpose I am using
<mx:Legend dataProvider="{bigChart}"/>
Now the y-axis in the chart can display different properties
based on the items clicked before rendering. It can be profitAmount
or it could be goodsSold. So the yAxis attribute keeps on changing.
What happens with this legend is that the bos appears but
with no text. Is there a way I can force some text to
appear?

nevermind I was missing displayName tag

Display column values as a series/legend on a line chart where one column value can be more than one category

Hi Everyone
I don't know if this is possible or not, so I will describe it. I have a column in a table called Filing. There are currently three values in it ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") and each record has this populated. I also have
the below slicer for the column also.
I would like to add a fourth value called "Abuse/Neglect" that would identify instances where both an Abuse and Neglect petition was filed, which is a subset of the Abuse and Neglect records in the Filing column.
My question is, is it possible to create a line chart that has the 4 Filing possibilities: "Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary", "Abuse/Neglect" as the Series/Legend in the line chart?
The problem is that there are records that are more than one category: Abuse or Neglect records can also be Abuse/Neglect.
Paul

Hi Paul,
According to your description, there is a column with the values ("Abuse", "Neglect", "Voluntary") in your table, now what you need to is that add another value "Abuse/Neglect" in this column, and then use it
as Series/Legend in the line chart, right?
In this case, you can add calculated column to your table based on your logic. A calculated column is a column that you add to an existing PowerPivot table. Instead of pasting or importing values in the column, you create a DAX formula that defines
the column values. The calculated column can be used in a PivotTable, PivotChart, or Power View report as you would any other data column. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Wrapping of text in legend of charts in Business Objects Dashboards 4.1

Hi all,
I have a dashboard which contain a few charts. But the legend in the charts is exceeding the length of the charts. Is there a way by which I can wrap the text of the legend within the chart area? I have not been able to find anything in the chart properties.
Any solution or workaround proposed will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.

Legend does not display with Line Chart

I have a query that I wrote with Bex Query Designer v3.5.11 for a BW 3.5 system. When I click Graphical Display tab in the query results, "Column Chart" shows a legend, showing which colors mean what. However, when I switch to a different type of chart, such as Line Chart, Legend does not appear. Anyone know how to make this appear? without the legend, the chart isn't very useful.

You can create a Web Template, Drag a Chart.
1) Assign a query to the chart
2) Right click over the Chart and select Edit Chart
3) Select Chart Designer.
4) Look for "Series" in the Overview Window
5) Expand the Series.
6) Activate the checkbox "Show Labels" on all the
series that you want to have values.

DAX formula and Legend/Series variable on line chart

What I am trying to do is to find a DAX function that will not cumulate the 'startyear' variable (2006-2012) that is in the Legend/Series in a pivot table for a line chart I have (see below image of chart). The below functions just cause the startyear values
to cumulate all together (2006+2007+2008....) instead of treating the years as separate values:
=(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(s1Perm1),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
Does anyone know how to change the above DAX formula or have another one that will allow the values in the Legend/Series variable to cumulate individually?

Yes, it is a count, but they also must meet the criteria in the slicers chosen by the user.
Regardless, I tried your suggestion and unfortunately, it did not work--in that the year values in the Legend/series are still aggregating together, rather than individually--ie. the numerator below for 2007 and 2007 are combined:
StartYear

2006

Line chart legend titles - fixed length?

Hi
I use a number of line charts wherein I specify the title of the individual series via variables &var1. and so on.
When I use more than 3 series in the chart, the 4th and following(up to 6) series titles are shown in '2nd' column' in the legend title/color area of the chart.
However it seems 2nd column always start a fixed number of px to the right of the 1st column no matter how long the titles of the legends in the first column is.
The result is that legend titles and colors are written on top of each other and it looks very messy.
Can I get around that somehow? Is there a fixed length defined somehow?
I thought I could just pad blanks to the legend titles in the 1st columns, but no. I tried in a number of ways doing that via &nbsp, and &#160 and so on - but no effect.
Anyone? any ideas?
Best regards,
Jesper G

Problem in editing legend label of line chart

Hi,
I am using crystal 2008 and deploying reports in Java appilication.
I have a report with line chart in group header. I am using formulae for 'Show value' field. So legend shows it as @formula1
I couldnt change this is design mode, so i went to preview mode and used 'edit axis label' for each of the chart.
Now i can see proper legend labels in my crystal 2008. But when i deploy the report in java application, chart still shows @formula1 .... any idea on why my changes are not displayed in crystalviewer?
Thanks

This is tricky... and somehow you won't find it in manual.
After the change of Axis Label, right click on Chart Area. You will see new option "Apply Changes to All Charts". Choose this option and voila - You owe me a bottle

Legend for a line chart displaying incorrectly

Hi All,
I am working with a line chart in webi XI R2. for example conssider the island resort marketing universe. we have 3 resort names like bahamas,US,France and the corresponding "revenue" for year 1999,2000,2001. Now i want a line chart for each resort and another line for sum of all the revenue.
So my final line chart contains 4 lines, one each for bahamas,US,France for 1999,2000,2001. and 4 line is sum of all revenues (for all resorts) in 1999,2000,2001.
I have used a "vertical line mixed" chart for this. All the graph lines are displaying correctly but the legend is displaying wrongly.
Please advise.

Hi Raveendra,
I guess its the 4th line i.e. sum af all revenue that you have added in the same chart is causing the problem.
My solution is why dont you try and put the sum of all revenue in other chart on the same report.
May this would help resolve your legend problem.
If you can give the exact details like what attributes you have selected while running the query and how did you added the sum of all revenue in your chart being more specific, would rather help a bit better in solving the problem.
Thanks,
Chirag Desai.

JavaFX, Display Line Chart with additional text

Hello:
I am new to Java and JavaFX. I have been able to create a line chart that has four series using example code from the Oracle Javafx Documentation home. Below is the syntax used to create the line chart once the series info has been populated:
Scene scene = new Scene(lineChart,800,600);
lineChart.getData().addAll(series1, series2, series3, series4);
When I display the chart, I would also like to display additional text.
My chart measures four different averages by month. I would like to use the text to give more info about each series (ex: 6 month and 1 year total avg for each series). The Line Chart and the text that I want to add do not need to be related. I will calculate the 6 & 12 month avg and list it in the text separately.
I am struggling to find a way to display the line chart with a separate text field. If anyone can point me to some sample code that does something similar I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi,
My data points in my line chart are an average for a single month for each series.
Ideally I would like a table as shown below centered under the Line Chart if possible (I was unable to use underscores or spaces to build the example. The + signs would really just be a line and the ' are used for spaces):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++``````````````++``Series 1```++```Series 2```++``Series 3```++``Series 4``++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++6 Month Avg````++```5.6`````++``````7.8 ```++ ````4.8`````++`````8.4``++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++12 Month Avg```++```6.9`````++``````9.3 ```++ ````2.5`````++```5.7````++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2D Line Chart question

I have Apex 3.1 . I have created a 2D Line chart with for different series (so there are 4 lines on one chart). I also have a Legend on the left side next to the chart to label whatr each line is for. In my query for those lines I have the Name for the Legend as all CAPS but it shows up as first letter capital and the rest lower case. Is there a way to force it to all upper case?
The second question I have is that underneath the legend I would like to have some type of text box were I can write a couple lines to help explain what is going on in the graph. Is there a way to do that?

You basically have only a couple of options here:
First, turn off the labels and possibly turn them into Hints. They wouldn't show on the chart, but when the user held over the data point, a tool tip would appear showing them the valuable.
Second, adjust elements of the chart. What you are really looking at here is that your data set is causing this specific issue and not the charting engine or anything like that. You could try to manually change the axis max and min to get more spacing, or you could adjust the height of the chart to get more spacing, but this may not be a viable option. You could have one set of labels above the plotted line and another set of labels below the plotted line that way the values do not overlap with anything. However, from a conceptual standpoint, it will be difficult to determine in code which line should have values above and which should have values below. When your data set changes, you may end up with labels in the wrong place if you hard code where they are at.
The current XML reference can be found at: http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html however, that is for anychart 5. I'm looking for the link to the earlier versions...
You can use this to create custom xml where you can adjust the position of the labels.
Finally, you do not want expand the height of the chart between two points on the Y axis. That would change the structure of the chart and the visual properties of the chart and the shape of the data would be askew. You cannot do this for good reason. You can though use a logrithmic scale. In most cases though, this is not a practical solution. Data sets need to have very specific characteristics in order to be able to merit a logrithmic scale. Most queries require a simple linear scale.
