Trend Analyzer Plotting Zeros (0)

Hi,
I have a simple combo chart plotting sales figures, I wanted to add a simple Trend line using Trend Anlyzer. I add another series to my chart to point it to the Trend results cells. When I preview, the Trend Results Cells are all populated with Zero's - Really weird since my avg sales are approx $200k per day.
Is this because my Sales data cells contain vlookup formulas ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I bet your values are actually text instead of numbers. Make sure the values are set as numbers or populate a new set of cells with something like: =VALUE(A2)

Trend Analyzer Regression Problem

Hi,
I am using the trial version of XCeslius 2008, and am seriously considering purchasing the full version. There is only 1 thing keeping me from doing so.
I can't seem to be able to figure out how to use the Trend Analyzer function to work with my data set or alternatively, how to work around the Trend Analyzer.
To give a brief background, I have a scatter plot set up with several data points. I would like to show a trendline on the chart, as well as the trendline equation and R-squared value. I would also like to use the trendline equation from the chart to project future values in an individual value selector below the chart. Can anyone please help me with this?
I have read a book entitled 'XCelsius 2008 Dashboard Best Practices' which states that "The Trend Analyzer component is strictly one dimensional. That is, if you have a set of X and Y values, the Trend Analyzer component can only look at the progression of X values or the progression of Y values, but not the two taken together." Does this mean that what I want to do is impossible in XCelsius? Are there any plans for future releases to address this issue?
Also, I have tried working around this by trying to use the 'LINEST' function as well as a combination of the 'SLOPE', 'INTERCEPT', and 'RSQ' functions, and when I try to see the preview, I receive an error message saying that XCelsius doesn't support these formulas. Any way to workaround this issue and get what I need? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Xcelsius its charting capabilities are very simplistic. The stuff you are trying to achieve is not possible wit the current plotting functionalities available. There are possibilities of course of building your own Flex component, but that is probably not what you are after. As for the unsupported functions: Xcelsius uses a limited set of Excel functions and converts those to its own format.
Seeing the use of Xcelsius in typically the finance / proces monitoring world I do not expect these functions to be available in any release soon.
If this is a hard requirement.. there are ways around it by just precalculating the values and storing them in the Excel file. After that just overlay a line plot on your scatter and have the line represent the curves you are after (note: set a proper interval, because Xcelsius line graphs have line representations that are straight and do not slope nicely.
If it doesn't work, you maybe want to give Tableau or TIBCO Spotfire or Swivel a glance. Qlikview can do it too, but is probably far too heavy (and expensive) for your needs.

Chart Web Part to not plot zeros on a line graph

Hi all,
Is it possible to not plot zeros on a line graph?
I have a line chart with days of the current month along the x-axis and a value on the y-axis. I have a series representing a forecast as a line that will show what the values along for the whole month should be and a second
line chart series representing the actual. This tells the reader how the actual is tracking against the forecast. The data is based on an excel table.
Currently when the latest value is set the line skews back to 0. I don't want this shown, I just want it left blank. On excel you can change the zeros to na() and the line graph will not plot, however, if I leave them as na() in the source data, the whole
column wont be imported in the chart wizard.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

It's true -- the RangeBar chart type only has two field options (X and Y) while the RangeColumn correctly has an addtional Y field. The RangeBar chart should obviously have two X fields if it's supposed to plot a range, as the name and example image indicate.
Neither this thread or the one linked has led to an answer. Can this be fixed?

Popularity trends report always zero

I am migrating serveral site collections from SP2010 to SP2013 farm. After migrated the sites, I enabled "Reporting" feature in site collection feature list.
I found the usage report is always zero and after some research I performed the check suggested here:
http://geekswithblogs.net/bjackett/archive/2013/08/26/powershell-script-to-workaround-no-data-in-sharepoint-2013-usage.aspx
I found the Receivers are not well defined. After running the powershell script suggested I am able to define the Receivers.
However, after 24 hours, all the reports still show zero. What else I can check? Thank you!

Hi Mark,
As I understand, usage report shows empty in your site collection. So far, you have confirmed the related two timer jobs work well as Inderjeet suggested, and defined new receivers as the blog you posted.
Below are the tips you should take into consideration when testing the issue:
1. Site we want to get web analytics report of should be in the content source.
2. Site should be accessed by normal users; site accessed by farm admin users will be ignored by web analytics.
3. Site should be accessed from client machines; site accessed with in server will be ignored by web analytics.
4. System pages like pages under _layouts, _catalogs and web service calls are ignored web analytics.
5. Also give at least 1 day to see data in usage report after you have accessed site.
Below are the suggestions you could check:
1.Confirm timer service is running, search service works well and run a full crawl for the site collection.
2.Ensure the account for Usage and Health Data collection has enough permission.

Popularity Trends Report - Zero Hits and Zero Unique Users

Popularity Trends Report - Zero Hits and Zero Unique Users. Search Service is working and returning results for generic look-ups. I have read numerous postings on this subject, but non that define a step-by-step trouble shooting method such
as what services/checks should be identified as running and so on. Any help would be appreciated. Would like to see what people are actually viewing on my site. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Popularity Trends Report return zero Hits and zero Unique Users.
I recommend to run some PowerShell scripts that added receivers to start data showing again.

Waveform Plot Name in Legend Reverts to default even if I change it with a Property node

I have a waveform chart where I am trying to name the plots different titles, so that they appear in the plot legend with a meaningful name, rather than 'Plot 1', 'Plot 2', etc.
However, no matter what I do, if I try to change plot 0's name to anything, the plot name changes for a split second, and then reverts to the name that it originally had. I can succesfully control the names of the other plots, but not plot zero. I have enclosed the VI with the graph control, which I cut and pasted from another VI.
It seems that the properties of this control (though it is not a custom control) are set, and that these settings take precedence over the Propery Node Instructions. Is this a bug, or am I missing something.
Try it for yourself.

Ignore attributes help says;
If FALSE (default), the plot names in the plot legend automatically adapt to the plot names in the dynamic or waveform data attributes. If TRUE, the plot names do not adapt to the dynamic or waveform data attributes. Change this property to TRUE if you want to change the plot names. This property applies only to graphs and charts with dynamic or waveform data.

How do I plot a y axis on the left and right in DIAdem/VIEW (version 11.0)?

I am trying to analyze flight data, and I would like to analyze plots of certain parameters so that they share an x axis. It is necessary to view these using two different y axis, on the left and right. How do I do this in DIAdem (version 11.0) in the VIEW tab? Is this possible to do in the VIEW tab?

myocom,
You can highlight random points in DIAdem as well.
Here is an example:
Use the cursor to move to the point you wish to highlight.
Press the "Set Data Point and Flag" icon on each data point you wish to highlight
When you are done selecting points, press the "Flags: Copy Data Points" icon - that will copy all X/Y coordinates into two new channels
I created a REPORT Layout using the original data and the highlighted random points (I added the actual point Z-value above the point, they look strange when written at the exact point). I attached the layout for your reference.
The complete task took 3 minutes from loading the data to finishing and exporting the REPORT layout. If you have a REPORT layout already, this will take less than 30 seconds ...
I am not familiar with Matlab, so I can't compare how this works in DIAdem vs. Matlab. You can add the combine the complete process in a Script and it will automatically create this kind of report after simply selecting a few data points in VIEW and then pressing a button ...

Selecting active plot

Hello,
I am reading a number of data file with a while loop and plotting them to a XY graph. I would like to make the graph legend based on the index value. I cannot seem to access the active plot and label it. (Error= Selected invalid property node). Can anyone point out what the error is? Thank you.

"Active Plot" cannot be higher than the number of plots you actually have. You do a +1 twice for ActPlot, thus the first plot you select is #2 while you don't even have a plot yet. Also make sure the property node happens after data reached the x-y graph terminal.
--wire ActPlot directly to [i], the iteration terminal. The first plot is #0!
--add a +1 to [i] before wiring it to LegPlots (input there cannot be zero). If there is only plot zero, you want one legend visible, etc. right?
-- Leave "autosize legend" out, because it does not change. Either set it manually or set it with a property node once before entering the while loop.
-- The first ActPlot (read mode) is useless. Remove it.
See if this helps.
It is probably more efficient to attach th
e actual VI compared to a 1.3MB bitmap. ;-)

Zero Analysis in HFM

Hi All HFM Experts,
As you All know, How HFM Performance could be impacted because of Zeroes.
I would like to get ideas, How best we could track/analyze the Zero in System from FRONT End (Workspace/Thick Client) or at Database Tier
Regards,
Dilip Jain

I have used extracts to analyze the zeros in the system. You can leverage them in 11.1.2.2 you would want to make sure to do some comparisons on zero's that are loaded and zeros that are calculated and/or consolidated so you would want to take several different extracts and compare them. If you are pre 11.1.2.2 you would need to leverage Extended Analytics to be able to extract calculated or consolidated zeros.
Rules leveraging a write to file can also support this process as you may have zero's that don't actually get stored but calculations are still triggered on zeros depending on how the calc's are set up, and unnecessary steps get triggered.
Zero's may not be the only item either, if you have ratios that are stored or other calculations in the rules you can watch out for very small numbers that are close to zero, if there are loops on those it can really kill performance. I have had some excellent success in adding some rounding in various parts of the rules to ensure that iterative calculations stop after some number of iterations, or stop once it gets a few places to the right of the decimal.

These kinds of delays can happen when a service is bound to a particular piece of hardware.
So as an example the [email protected] uses "BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device". So when you enable [email protected], the part between the '@' and '.service' is what it will use in place of the '%i' of the BindsTo parameter.
This was a common problem when there was the change from the old kernel namespace used for network devices to the persistent udev naming scheme. During installation (or any time one was in the live media), it would use dhcpcd@eth0, so it would make sense that enabling dhcpcd@eth0 would set you all up for a nice ethernet connection when you launch the system for the first time. But then the 80-net-slot-names.rules udev file would change the interface name, making the BindsTo parameter time out after a while, since it would not be named something like enp2s0.
See if there are any failed units in the output of systemctl. Of course you will have to do this after systemd claims to have "finished" booting.
thanks, will digg into that. i do have some renaming policy there.. cause i have eth0 shown in ifconfig for example
i remember i did something about it in the past, because i never got used with the new naming scheme.
anyway systemctl --failed

1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
and that fluidsynth is no issue. cause with this installed, it still does same. i have fluidynth uninstalled because my pulseadio doesnt work when that is enabled

How to sample a random signal generated by random generator?

I am new to LabVIEW. Please provide me better solution.

Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response.
I took a look at your VI. In its current state, you will not be able to extract Y values for X values in-between those that you plotted. The XY graph is simply connecting your points to provide a visual representation. No real data exists between the points that you plotted.
What you will need to do is first use one of LabVIEW's built-in curve fitting functions to fit a curve to your randomized data. These functions are located on the Analyze >> Mathematics >> Curve Fitting palette.
Once you fit a curve to your data, you will be able to trace the curve with your cursor. You can observe the XY-values that the cursor passes over by displaying the cursor legend. Right click the XY-graph and select Visible
Items >> Cursor Legend.
You may also want to consider using LabVIEW's mathematics functions to evaluate the x-values you are interested in. One solution would be to vertically shift your best-fit curve by the threshold value and evaluate the zeros of the curve using LabVIEW's built-in functions. These functions can be found on the Analyze >> Mathematics >> Zeros palette.
I hope this helps! If you have further questions, let me know.

Need suggestion in doing functionality similar to What-if Analysis?

Hi,
I have to develop a line chart with some requirements which is little bit tricky. So, was checking out if some one can help me out here. My scenario is explained below:
Suppose if you are a Oil drilling machinery supplier and you receive invoices for drilling machine order from your clients every month. Now last year because of the issue like BP oil spill in gulf of mexico, and this year Japan's Tsunami the client has not received many invoices from oil drilling companies which are working in those areas.
So my invoices numbers are like in Feb 2010 was 10000, in March 2010 was 11000, and in April 2010 was 11500, and after the incident in April 2010 the May 2010 values are 5000, June values are 5500, July is 5700, and August 2010 is 10300.
Same kind of deviated values happened after Japan Tsunami. ( i have just taken these examples to let you understand my problem clearly).
Now with the deviation in invoices after April 2010, and the business restoring to its normal sales after 4-5 months, let us assume that June 2011 invoices are 11900.
Now my user wants to see a line chart in which he will have last six months of data (Dec-2010 to May-2011). Now they want to have another series in the chart which is a prediction of the future three months values. Also they want an option where in they want to see if some disaster happens what could be the drop in their invoice numbers.
For the first prediction i think i can use Trend Analyzer and forecast it to three months by feeding the last 6 months of data and use the resultant values in the series. But for the second scenario what can i do to retrieve a deviation in values.
Please let me know if you need any other details here.

Nicolas,
I think my question was incomplete. Here i am not trying to see of how much deviation happened in my historical data but trying to find what could be the deviation in my future data. As i stated if the values for invoices in April 2010 to May 2010 dropped by 5000 because of a disaster, and after couple of months the business restored back to its regular invoices around 11000.
Now in future consider today is July 2011 and they got 11700 invoices already to be delivered for this month, they want to see a forecast or predicted value for August, September, October of 2011. For forecasting i used Trend Analyzer and feeded the last 12 months of data and i was able to get August, September, October values using the Linear Regression option in the component (the values were some were around 11767, 11821, 11853).
Now if some incident happens like i stated above like an oil spill for their major client and they stopped ordering the machinery how would the forecast values change. For this i understand that i have to feed a data as far as 4-5 yrs and see how deviation is happening because of disasters. But, can we do it manually in Xcelsius is what my question.
I went online and came to know of a tool called "Predictive Wrokbench" but the BI team Manager do not want to purchase the licence of a tool which is used only for only a single dashboard (which totally makes sense).

Question about the programming of a legend

Hello everybody,
I have a question about the programming of a waveform's legend. I
already asked here in this forum about the legend programming (03)
months ago.
I went satisfied but I ve just noticed that this code
(See Code old_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function) operates a
little different from my expectances.
Therefore I have a new question and I want to know if it
is possible by labview programming to plot and show, on a waveform
chart, a signal with activ plot superior to zero (0) without to be
obliged to plot and show a signal with activ plot equal to zero (0) or
inferior to the desired activ plot.
I give you an example
of what I m meaning. I have by example 4 signals (Signal 0, 1, 2 and 3)
and each signal corresponds respectively to a channel (Chan1, Chan2,
Chan3, Chan4). I want to control the legend (activ plot, plot name and
plot color) programmatically. Is it possible with labview to plot signal
1 or 2 or 3 or (1, 3) or (2,3) or (1,2,3) or other possible combination
without to active the signal with the corresponding activ plot zero
(0)?
Let see the labview attached data
(new_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function). When I try to
control the input selected values again I get them back but I don't
understand why they have no effect on the legend of my waveform chart.
Could somebody explain me what I m doing wrong or show me how to get a
correct legend with desired plots? Thank by advance for your assistance.
N.B.
The
both attached data are saved with labview 2009.
Sincerly,PrinceJack

Hi
princejack,
Thanks for
posting on National Instruments forum.
The behavior
you have is completely normal. You can control the number of row displayed in
the legend and this rows are linked to the data you send to your graph. Thus,
if you have 3 arrays of data, let say chan1, chan2 and chan3, you can choose
which data you want to display in your graph using the property node (Active
plot and visible). But for the legend as you send 3 plots there is an array of
the plot name [chan1, chan2, chan3] and you can display 0, 1, 2 or 3 rows of
this array but you cannot control the order in this array! So, to be able to
change this array you have to only send data you need to you graph. I'm not
sure my explanations are clear so I have implemented a simple example doing
that.

Group values on Barchart - Please help Urgent

Hi
I am plotting a bar chart.
I am plotting chart "on change of" first group name.and showing 3 values which i get in formulas.
I had to place these formulas in lowest level of subgroup just above the details ( i don`t need any details).
i am getting all the values properly.
But it is plotting the graph with group A values as group B values.
In other words,
on starting group all the 3 values will be zeros.By the end of this group (after details) i will get 3 values.
I want to plot chart with these values as starting group values.
But as took "on change of" group name it is plotting zeros initially and the result of group A as the result of Group B and so on.
Please help me how can i plot chart after a group is evaluated.
I placed my chart in report header
Please help me .

Hi
I am using bar Chart ( side by side bar chart).
This time i would like to explain in more detailed.Please find my layout and preview as pictures in the following links.
[http://i34.tinypic.com/2wc48w9.jpg]
[http://i33.tinypic.com/2603ern.jpg]
I want show msx3 in the bar chart .so first i initialized it to zero and counted all the records which suits my criteria and showing the same value in the bar against that group.( i am explaining with one formula msx3 only..anyway remaining are similar).
This value is initially zero and will give a count number at the end of this Group #1 Name ( plz see pictures).
My problem is i have take "On change of" Group# 1 Name in the data of chart expert and showing the formulas ( with don`t Summarize option checked).
It is giving me the result properly but plotting the values of first iteration ( when the first time the group is evaluated) ans result of second iteration.I understand this is because of "on change of " option ,when it is plotting all the values will be zeros.
I have to plot the chart with values after evaluating the group #1 but not before evaluating it.
Please give me any idea over it.I am not an expert and it is urgent.
Please help.
Thanks,

Reporting requirements to Filter on query results

Hi Everyone,
Part of our reporting requirements for Billing Data is to display all Invoices Created till the 15th of the Month. Users want to trend analyze Invoice created till 15th of each month for last 6 months. The report has a time filter to get Invoices for last 6 months.
How do we further filter all Invoices created till 15th of each month?
Thanks for all your answers in Advance.
CM

HI,
I think the best way would be - create an infoobject containing the day (from your date). Then you use calmonth and the new infoobject as time characteristics and restrict both (calmonth on the calmonth, calmonth - 1,...) and "day" as fix filter value for 1 to 15.
This will work.
If you can't extend you cube, you should try it with an virtuel cube where you use your original cube as source. the virtual cube contains the new infoobject "day".
Cheers
