Using dates in charts

Hi,
I want to know how I could make dates quantitative in charts.
What I mean is this: I want to plot date (e.g. 09/12/09) v.s. activity (in hours).
But when I plot a graph, it shows the dates (in the x-axis) with the SAME gap length. E.g. the same gap length between dates that are 1 day apart, and those that are 20 days apart. I want the dates also to be QUANTITATIVE.
I hope it makes sense, please help.
Thanks,
Edam

Edam,
I'm sorry that I don't have Numbers 08 at my present location to check this out throughly. I do recall though that an easy workaround is to set a base day and assign days since the base to the X-axis, rather than true dates. Then you can use the Scatter Chart and get proper spacing. All the other chart types are Category Charts which plot each piece of data with equal spacing. In Numbers 09 we can use true dates for the X-axis in a Scatter Chart, but I don't think that was the case in Numbers 08.

Can't seem to draw a chart (line chart) using dates rather than numbers

I'm trying to draw a Line Chart but rather using numbers i want to use dates for example: Switzerland 23/06/2008 - 23/08/2008. Can't seem to get it to work? it seems to all go wrong when I change the cell format to 'date'
Can anyone help?
Thanks
PS. I can do it easily in Excel

Hello
From my point of view, it's not surprising.
In XL, a date is a number to which a date format is applied. So, it may be charted.
Same thing with the good old AppleWorks.
With Numbers, a date is NOT a number, it IS a specific class of data.
The consequence is that it can't be charted directly.
Happily, we may easily convert a date into a number.
In column B the formula is
=A-$A$1
which calculates the numeric difference between stored dates and the date stored in A1.
So, we may chart the results.
I know that it's far from perfect but we have to live with the choices made by Numbers's designers.

Can we see dynamic data on charts using Excel Services

hi all,
i would like to know if there is any option in SharePoint 2013 for developing dynamic "responsive/interactive Charts" with SQL server as data source. And the connection should be there online, i mean the charts should refresh data based on
the SQL data all the time.
When i saw the feature of excel service, i could see only retrieving of data using data connection from sql and after adding that data to workbook, we can create responsive charts with required filters. However, i dint see option of data refresh from external
source without opening the excel work book.
What i want is, once i added the chart using chart webpart, if any new data is added or modified in external data source i.e., like SQL in my case, the chart should automatically updated with new changes in the data.
please let me know if my requirement can be fulfilled using OOB.
thank you beforehand .
Thanks & Regards Raj

Hi ALL,
Linda, I know you are only trying to help but when you answer questions where you don't know the answer you only mislead the user asking the question at best but every one else who reviews the post... we have been performing data refresh on page
render and every 5 minutes by default since SharePoint 2007. We build Business Intelligence Dashboards and Score Cards using Live data with Excel Services, and features like PowerPivot, PowerView
Data in a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that has been displayed in Excel Services can come from two different locations. The data may be stored directly in the workbook, or it may be stored in an external data source, such as in a database or
in an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube.
If the data comes from an external data source, the workbook author or administrator has defined the connection information, often in an Office data connection (.odc) file, which describes how to locate, log in, query, and access the external data source.
When you are connected to an external data source, you can perform a refresh operation to retrieve the updated data. Each time that you refresh data, you see the most recent version of the data, including any changes that were made to the data since it was
last refreshed.
Refresh all connections
On the Excel Web Access toolbar, under the Update menu, click
Refresh All Connections.
Periodic refresh
By using Office Excel 2007, the workbook author can specify that data automatically refreshes at a specified interval after the workbook is opened for each connection in the workbook. For example, an inventory database may be updated every hour, and so the
workbook author has defined the workbook to automatically refresh every 60 minutes. For more information, see Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Help.
A Web Part author can select or clear the Allow Excel Web Access Periodic Data Refresh property to enable or disable this periodic refresh operation, if the property has been defined by the workbook author. When the time interval elapses,
by default, the following refresh alert prompt is displayed at the bottom of the Excel Web Access Web Part:
Refresh data for <List of Connections>? (Now) (Always) (Don't ask me again)
An Excel Web Access Web Part author can also set the Display Periodic Data Refresh Prompt property to control the behavior of the message that is displayed when Excel Services performs a periodic data refresh during a session:
Always      means that the message is displayed with a prompt at each interval.
Optionally      means that a user can choose to continue periodic refresh without displaying a message.
Never      means that Excel Web Access performs a periodic refresh without displaying a message or prompt.
For more information, see
Excel Web Access Web Part custom properties.
I have only listed a couple of the ways you can have Excel services update external data, this is not an exhaustive list

Hi Mario Castro,
                          In selection Screen initially u have to enter the input value after provides some user command only next screen will be trigger.
In the next screen PBO event you cant assign selection screen Variable into next screen fields.
Eg.
Selection Screen Variable
          s_belnr
           s_bukrs
           s_gjahr
Next Screen
           t_belnr
           t_bukrs
           t_gjahr
In PBO you can code
          t_belnr = s_belnr
          t_bukrs = s_bukrs
         s_gjahr = s_gjahr
Revert back if any difficulties to do.

How to extract data from Chart History?

Dear all, I have read a lot of posts, but still don't understand how to extract data from Chart history.
Suppose you acquired 1024 points of data every time, then use "build array" to build an array, then send to intensity chart to show, then save the history into a .txt file, but how to extact data from the file?
How Labview store the data in the 2D history buffer?
Anybody has any examples?

The simplest would be to save the 2D array as a spreadsheet file, the read it back the same way.
Maybe the attached simple example can give you some ideas (LabVIEW 7.1). Just run it. At any time, press "write to file". At any later time, you can read the save data into the second history chart.
If you are worried about performance, it might be better to use binary files, but it will be a little more complicated. See how far you get.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Sort issue on graph (line/bar) X-AXIS when using dates

I have a line chart using dates on the x-axis, formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. This worked fine until the new year and now the sort order displays 01/xx/2008 before (left of) a 12/xx/2007 date.
My quick fix was to change the format to yyyy-mm-dd, but I really don't like the way this looks.
Is there a better solution?

Hi Jason,
here is the steps you should follow in order ro set the sorting for barchart.
1. go to chart expert
2. click on data tab
3. select the field in the selected list of report columns on which you have to sort, then the order button will be enabled
4. click on the order button
5 it will open new window by name "chart sort order", where you can set the sorting order(ascending order, descending order, specified order or the original order) for the selected report column.
I hope this will help you..

Problems with displaying data in Chart

Hi, everyone
I am stuck with displaying data in Chart. I set the minimum
and maximum for LinearAxis of a LineChart, so the chart only
display the data within this range. But sometimes I still need to
keep the trend of all data even the data is out of range.
eg, the range of verticalAxis is 0 -100 and I got data 70,
120, 90. Neither I want to set the data 120 to 100 in order to keep
the data point nor make the data 70 connected directly to data 90.
All I want is to keep the shape, from 70 to 120, from 120 to 90,
but 120 doesn't display in the chart.
My another question is when I try to select an area of a
chart to zoom in, how can I the get the exact area that I select to
zoom,
for example: I want to use exactly the result of the
following line:
((firstMouseX - this.mouseX)/ this.dataRegion.width) *
chart.dataProvider.length
that is I don't want to use methods ceil or floor to get the
approximate area.
Excuse me, I got one question more. The weird things is my
chart won't resize itself when I resize the VDividedBox or other
containers. I set the width equals 100% wherever it needs to be.
Just like the Flex sample - dashboard. If I open a small window at
the very begining and then maximize the window, the chart still
keep the small part of its container. I don't understand why.
Sorry for too many questions.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Use of makit chart for multiple values against month

Hi all,
here is my test data:
var testDate = { mycollection : [ {Consumption : 200, Consumption1 : 170, ReadingDateTime: February},
                                 {Consumption : 300, Consumption1 : 170, ReadingDateTime: March},
                                 {Consumption : 200, Consumption1 : 130, ReadingDateTime: April},
                                 {Consumption : 200, Consumption1 : 230, ReadingDateTime: May},
                                 {Consumption : 200, Consumption1 : 270, ReadingDateTime: June},
                                 {Consumption : 200, Consumption1 : 200, ReadingDateTime: July},
In this consumption is for present year and consumption 1 is for previous year.
I want to implement both the values against the month using makit column charts:
var oChartj = new sap.makit.Chart({
     height: "80%",
     width: "100%",
     showRangeSelector :false,
     primaryColorPalette:["#18458D"],
     category : new sap.makit.Category({ column : "month" }),
     values : [new sap.makit.Value({ expression : "consumption"})]
     var jsonModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
      jsonModel.setData(testData);
       oChartj.addColumn(new sap.makit.Column({name:"month", value:"{ReadingDateTime}"}));
      oChartj.addColumn(new sap.makit.Column({name:"consumption", value:"{Consumption}"}));
     oChartj.setModel(jsonModel);
       oChartj.bindRows("/mycollection");
in this way i am able to print the data as consumption against month, I need to add consumption1 also.
How to do this?
Regards,
Arun

Hi All,
I was able to do the same with the help of series property in makit charts.
series : new sap.makit.Series({ column : "year" }),
In our test data we need to create the data's based on this value, for example if we are plotting consumption against month then the year should be a differentiating quantity within the test data.
So that the graph will iterate for that and plot two values for the same month.

Arun

Why does "itunes accounts" use data with all settings OFF?

Does anyone know how to keep "iTunes accounts" under system from using cellular data?
I have already:
1. Toggled OFF all settings in the "Use cellular data for" menu.
2. Turned OFF all automatic downloads and any other options under iTunes/app store settings.
3. Turned OFF Background App refresh.
4. Turned OFF all options under iCloud sync menu.
Right now, the only thing that keeps "iTunes accounts" from pulling cellular data is turning Cellular Data completely OFF, but I don't want to do this because I lose some messaging and voicemail functions and I need to be able to use Find My Phone. I have two identical iPhone 5c's on this account. One is running iOs 8.1.2 and the above settings control it's data usage nicely. The other phone is running iOs 8.1.3 and this one uses 50-100 mb a day even with all the above settings off and the phone almost always on wifi.
I am aware that the phone will lose it's wifi connection when asleep, but that shouldn't be a problem if all the apps/settings are already set not to use cellular data. What am I missing. I've read a bunch of threads on this issue and they all suggest settings I already have OFF.

My personal phone is on 8.1.2. My daughter's phone is 8.1.3.
It is her phone that is currently having this problem, but I reported it under my account; sorry for the confusion.
My phone has had some data problems in the past, but I have been able to control them by keeping almost all data options OFF and the overall switch ON. My usage is back to less than 50 mb per month which makes sense since my phone is almost always on wifi and I don't use data dense applications.
Everything about my daughter's phone is the same as mine except for the 8.1.3 upgrade. She does use things like Instagram more than I do, but I have them all set to not use Cellular Data and the option to change these settings is locked. When I look at the usage on her phone, it isn't her apps that are pulling unexpected data; it's "iTunes accounts" under system services. All the options under iTunes/App Store (auto downloads, home sharing, etc.) and all the iCloud options are already OFF.

Can we load data in chunks using data pump ?

We are loading data using data pump. So I want to clear my understanding.
Please correct me if I am wrong on my understandings -
ODI will fetch all data from source (whether it is INIT or CDC ) in one go and unload into staging area.
If it is true, will performance hamper in case very huge data (50 million records at source) at source as ODI tries to load entire data in one go. I believe it will give better performance if we load in chunks using data pump.
Please confirm and correct.
Also I would like to know how can we configure chunk load using data-pump.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Dinesh.

You may consider usingLKM Oracle to Oracle (datapump)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/integrate.1111/e12644/oracle_db.htm#r15c1-t2
In 11g ODI reads from source and write to target in parallel. This is the case where you specify select query in source command and insert/update query in the target command. At source side Odi reads records from source and add them to a data queue. At target side a parallel thread reads data from the data queue and writes to the target. So the overall performance would be the slower of the read or write process.
Thanks,

Item Cost Is not Updated when using Data Object OinventoryGenEntry in DTW

Hello Everyone,
I'm using data transfer workbench (OInventoryGenEntry) to send the production to sap-bo. All The info that I entered in the layouts Documents.csv and Document_Lines.csv are correctly loaded, except the info related to the field "price". Do you know what changes should I apply to the layouts in order to make the DTW transfer the Item Price?
(version: SAP Business One 2005A SP:01 PL:27)
Thanks a lot

Thank You Vincent. It works for finish goods that currently have cost in the sap-bo (taking std or avg) . Do you what should I do when the item is receiving the first-transation and it is an inventory entry coming from DTW ? Because when I test this conditions, the field "price" is ignored and when I check the inventory entry sent using dtw the recorded cost is "cero".
Thank a lot

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

Issue using data link in XML Publisher

Dear All,
I am new to XML Publisher, for the first time trying data link concept in XML Publisher tool. The issue is very simple, I have two queries Q1(say it fetches sales_order_number, application_name ) and Q2 (say it fetches sales_order_number , error_number, error_description). And sales_order_number is passed as input using data link to Query Q2 from query Q1 and Q2 will retrive more than one row for a given sales_order_number.
Say for a given dept_name 1001 the output will be something similiar like
Q1:
SO# | Appl.Name
1001 | 'Invoice '
Q2:
SO# | Error.# | Error Desc
1001 | 1512 | No Data Found
1001 | 1513 | Invalid Entry
1001 | 2674 | Error while inserting the record
and the query which I have used in XML template goes like this
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select sales_order_number, application_name
                  from T1
                 where sales_order_number = :in_sales_order_num]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="LINES">
<![CDATA[
select sales_order_number , error_number, error_description
from T2]]>
</sqlStatement>
<link name="Dummy_LINK" parentQuery="Q1" parentColumn="sales_order_number" childQuery="Q2" childColumn="sales_order_number" condition="="/>
</dataQuery>
<daraStructure/>
And the grouping is as follows
<group name="G_Q1" source="Q1">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="application_name" value="application_name"/>
<group name="G_Q2" source="Q2">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="error_number" value="error_number"/>
     <element name="error_description" value="error_description"/>
</group>
</group>
And in the RTF template I have properly used <?for-each:G_Q1?> <?for-each:G_Q2?>- --
<?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
Ideally the header (Q1) should have one row and the lines (Q2) should have 3 rows. But the issue here is even Q1 produces 3 rows.
If in case Q2 has 4 records, then Q1 also plots 4 records in the report output. Hope I am explaining the issue correctly. Any help to resolve the issue would be a great. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Antony.

Hi Shonti,
The DI 11.7 installer can be used to upgrade a DI 6.1 local repository (e.g. the upgrade is supported). This will migrate all jobs and flows. They will remain intact, however, this is always a major migration effort and should not be taken lightly. If you do upgrade, please make sure this is a planned effort with rigorous testing and validation. You should also ensure that you consult the release notes and [supported platforms documentation|https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712240&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202] for the 11.7 package you intend to install. The DI 11.7 documentation also contains info about how to install and configure the Excel Adapter, and what functionality it provides.
Thanks,

Why does my phone use data with cellular data turned off?

I have problems with my iPhone 5 using data on its own. It usually happens at night, with all the apps closed and plugged in to charge (should be connected to my wifi). Recently, I started turning off my cellular data any time I'm at home out of desperation to save my data. Last night, my phone used 6MB of data with my data off, plugged in. I use My Data Manager to track, it matches up with AT&T's record of my data usage, so I'm pretty sure the app is not wrong. I have the 200MB plan, so I have to be very careful and it's incredibly frustrating to wake up and find 6MB gone when cellular data was turned off. Does anyone know what's going on? I haven't bothered calling Apple or AT&T, I never get anywhere with either one.

I'm not familiar with My Data Manager but from the name I would think it would tell you what app or apps have used the data and that might help narrow down the problem. If it doesn't have that information, you can go to Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For and that shows usage by each app and if you click on System Services in that list it will also give details of that usage. The numbers are since you last reset the statistics (bottom of that screen). With a little time and detective work you may be able to identify the cause.
Also, there have been many discussions on various internet forums of AT&T (and other) reporting of the time of data usage not matching the actual time of the use. The usage numbers over a number of days for example are accurate but usage reported at 2AM may actually be a summary of some types of use that happened the previous day.
