Trendline Problems with Numeric Axis Charts

I am attempting to create a chart in Crystal Report XI that lists the time period (months) on the x-axis and the number of units sold on the y-axis. I have created the chart as a numeric axis bar chart because there are some months that do not have any units sold and converted the dates through a formula to periods where the first month requested equals 0 and each of the following months is incremented by 1. The problem I am having is that the data is displayed correctly but when I request a trendline be displayed, I am getting a trendline that does not correspond with the data. For example I have a 60 month time period where half the months are zero and the maximum number of units sold is 8 and the trend line runs from 30 at period 0 and 24 at period 60. The equation is displayed as y=-1.1x29.9 and the actual trendline should be y=0.0078x0.5802. The trendline in a side by side bar chart is closer but is skewed by the fact that periods with no units sold is not displayed but is closer than what I am getting with the numeric axis bar chart. I have also noted that if I change the scale of the x-axis from automatic or change the gap width, I get wildly different trendlines for each change that still does not match the data. I have also tried to use the date axis bar chart but again the data is presented correctly but the trendline is not correct. So my question is: Can I use a side by side bar chart, in which the trendline seems more accurate, that can account for months with no data and/or is there something that I am missing on setting up a trendline for a numeric axis chart?

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Problem with Stacked area chart

Hi all,
I'm working on delivery data according to month having input(combo) as the year. I'm trying to display the data in percentages in Stacked area chart having series as ontime delivery, 1 week late, 2 weeks late,........5 weeks late and category labels as months. The problem is when I take the Preview of data I get to see the data for ontime, 1 week , 2 week as it should be but when I hover the mouse over the 2 weeks data area mouse over values shows 5 weeks data(0 %) where as in reality the colored area belongs to 2 weeks data. I tried to delete 5 weeks series data and now it shows as 4 weeks data.
What could be the problem ?
Thanks

Thanks for the answer regarding dates. I'm still awaiting an answer on the following part of my question:
"My problem is that I am trying to configure a stacked area chart to show various related financial figures over the period of a year or more. My problem with a regular stacked area chart is that because of the large number of data points (daily) the X axis becomes far too chaotic with the large number of labels. The obvious option seems to be to use the "Show time scale" option in axis settings, however when you chose this option the "Date axis area" chart type is automatically chosen and this chart type doesn't seem to allow stacking. Can anybody help?"
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,
Mark

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.

Problem with numeric types in Abap Proxy

Hello,
We are having problems with some abap proxy calls. When a numeric type is filled with 0 the node it´s automatically removed and no value it's recived in XI. The only way I have found to avoid this problem it's to define the field with type string or change the cardinality to 1..1 instead of 0..1. It's there any way to maintain the type and the cardinality?? Maybe with a pattern??
Regards,
Alberto Pla.

Hi Alberto
I had this problem, and I decided to use xsd:string instead of xsd:integer. This will solve the issue.
Anyway.. check this note:

Problems with numeric values in the barcode

Hi
I have a problem with the data from a numeric field, when it is encoded in the barcode the validation pattern seems to be ignored.
I have set the validation pattern of the numeric field to be
num{9999}
And when I enter a value like "0200" it is displayed in the form as "0200", which is correct.
BUT in the barcode the value is captured as "200", which i NOT what I want. I need all four characters to be in the barcode. Even when the first one i 0 (zero).
How can I do that?
Kirstine

Can you send the form to [email protected] and I will have a look. Please include a description of the issue in the email as the email and this forum are not tied together.

Problems with the line chart - dashboard

I have a problem in the line chart in the dashboard SP4.
Clicking on the legend of the graphic , the serie (line) disappears. Clicking again in the legend, the line appears but the markers don’t.
Someone knows how to solve this problem?
Follow the examples.
Thanks.

Hi Jane,
This is definitely the tool problem.
Might be you can try restarting xcelsius or your computer (sometimes it works, really !)
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to clink on legends.

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 with a pie chart

Hi Gurus
I try to do a pie chart and a i´ve a problem .in the format Categories i use percent 0.00% for to see the value but i can´t see the name of the categories .it´s possible and how ?
thanks Gurs

Hi,
you can use $Category to display the category name in your format of a pie label. Combined with a line break your format string would look like <b>$Category$br$Percent0.00 "%"</b>.
Note that you must have IGS 7.00 patch 10 to use this feature. See also SAP notes <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1076634">1076634</a> and <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1064448">1064448</a> for more information.

Problem with loading column chart in flex2

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem in designing a column chart. I have a page where i have two column charts. The data providr for both the charts is same. I have an xml with three categories of values, and each chart uses two of these with one of them being common and they are actually sorted based on one of those values. The problem here is that one chart shows proper values while the other (though shows proper values) it doesnt render it properly in the sense that the height of the columns and the value of that particular column are not consistent. What could be the issue????

It's necessary to discard the white spaces.
Set the ignoreWhite property to true.
document.ignoreWhite = true;

Problem with numeric screen field....

hi,
   I've gotta situation that,
In sales order we gotto determine WBS element(ps_psp_pnr) based on some conditions, if none of the condition is satisfied then the 'project definition'(prps-pspid) has to be concatenated with '.99' and displayed as WBS element.
Now the actual problem is, WBS element is of numeric character type whereas the projectdefinition(pspid)+.99 is of charcter type. So it throws me a dump. Even then, the screen field of WBS element doesnt shows any non numeric character and shows error message.
So how do i overcome this situation? Can anyone help me? Its quiet urgent.
Prompt answeres will be rewarded with points.
with regards,
praveen.

Hi Praveen,
If you take SE16 and PRPS, you can see how SAP store it internally and show externally. In the first screen where it shows the line items, the WBS element value is the one stored internally and if you double click and see the WBS value in the next screen it is the one showed in the transaction screen.
For the conversion routine, even if the parameters are type less, you have to pass the variable with type.
For example
data: w_POSNR type PS_POSNR,
      w_wbs(8).
w_wbs = '123.55'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_INPUT'
EXPORTING
    input          = w_wbs
IMPORTING
   OUTPUT          = w_posnr
EXCEPTIONS
   NOT_FOUND       = 1
   OTHERS          = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Problems with BusinessGraphics Gantt Chart: WebDynpro 7.1 SP3

Hi,
i tried the BusinessGraphics Gantt Chart and went through the Code Example for Displaying a Gantt Chart on:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/1cd93f5e0f9015e10000000a155106/content.htm
Unfortunately my gantt does not look and behave like it should:
1) The bars are only small sqares in the middle of one day. I use the same data as in the sample, so the bars should be a couple of days long
2) I added an action, added an EventID to the series and to the point, mapped the parameters. When clicking a point a roundtrip is done. I write a success message with the eventID but often the Gantt Picture is a broken image after this (small red cross).
3) The tooltip of the point is not shown in the chart when pointing on the square
Can anybody help, please?
Thanks
Frank

Thanks a lot! This solved one of three problems. The trick is that you can set the marker for the points (without any effect) and for the series (with effect).
The tooltip shows up now, too. No idea why now and not before...

Problems with SVG line charts based on PL/SQL returning SQL

Dear all - I wonder if anyone can tell me whether this problem is likely to be fixed at some point?
It relates to the fact that you can't get more than one series on a chart where the SQL is returned from PL/SQL.
It is a huge issue for us when trying to create complex, dynamic charts, which are simple enough in PL/SQL, but end up quite nightmarish in pure SQL.
Although we have implemented Maani SWF (Flash) charts as a workaround, users don't like them as there's no 'save as...' or copy+paste and they seem to print very badly indeed.
Here's part of a post from last May with more detail:
"If I take a really simple table like this:
CREATE TABLE "CHART_TEST"
( "X" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
"Y" NUMBER(5,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "CHART_TEST_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("X") ENABLE
and populate it with:
X Y
2006-01-01T00:00:00 1
2006-02-01T00:00:00 2
2006-03-01T00:00:00 3
2006-04-01T00:00:00 4
2006-05-01T00:00:00 5
2006-06-01T00:00:00 6
2006-07-01T00:00:00 7
2006-08-01T00:00:00 8
2006-09-01T00:00:00 9
2006-10-01T00:00:00 10
I can create a chart with a single series using syntax something like:
begin
return 'select null link, x label, y value
from chart_test';
end;
and this works fine. However, if I add a second series:
begin
return 'select null link, x label, (y + 1) value
from chart_test';
end;
then the whole of the chart region blanks out.
There's an example at:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=15491:1"
Many thanks,
John.

On some, but not all SVG line charts, I had trouble when some values are ZERO.
Putting a CASE WHEN var = 0 then 0.05 ELSE var END in the select statement
fixed those situations.
I had missing lines when the number of data points in a series exceeded the default number of 15, and I did not set in the series configuration to a number equal to or higher that the number of data points in that series.
And I had one instance, where a couple missing lines reappeared when I exited
the browser and app completely and restarted the app.
All these comments apply to ver 1.6x and 2.0x

Problem with the AXI user signals

Hi,
I created an AXI peripheral IP with one slave and one master AXI port.
When I connect it to my desing to the AXI crossbar the user signals width of my IP is automatically updated according to it.
When I change the user signals width to a value larger than zero the width is updated in my IP.
However, when I change it to zero the value in my IP does not change to zero.
Since I use a microblaze core at one side of the AXI crossbar I need to define the user signal widths to zero, otherwise the validation is failed.
Any one can help with this problem ?
thanks.

No.
I am using an AXI crossbar to connect 4 slaves to 1 master.
The problem is that when I change the user signal width in the axi crossbar to a number > 0 and validate the design it affects my AXI peripheral. But, when I change the width to zero and validate the desing it does not affect its width.

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.
