Value range(column chart): management cockpit

Question

Hi friends,
how can i put value range condition in column chart. my situation is like this 
I have 10 employees with expereinces 4.1(i.e 4 yrs 1 month),5.5, 1.2, 0.5, 3.5, 0.2, 4, 6, 7 and 8.
I want to present in column chart in x-axis like <1 yrs, 2-4,5-6,>7 and in y-axis count.
How can i achieve this. I maintained calculated keyfigues(for <1 yrs, 2-4,5-6,>7) on key figuer total experience and, in bi report i'm getting correct output. Even total experience is also calculated key figure and perfectly viewing this value in cockpit. But in managment cockpit, remaining calculated keyfigues(<1yrs,2-4,5-6,>7) i'm not getting. So i want to prefer to set value range in chart.
pls suggest me.
thanks,
raju

Hello  Raju,
You can achieve this by simply using a User defined Periodization & Time Variable.

Defining Periodizations
1.     To define a periodization, choose Periodization in the dialog structure.
2.     Choose  to switch to change mode.
3.     Choose New Entries.
4.     In the Periodization column, enter a name for the periodization (up to four characters).
5.     In the Fiscal Year Variant column, choose the fiscal year variant on which you want to base the periodization. (The periodization itself is based on periods of the fiscal year variants.)
6.     In the Long Text column, enter a descriptive name for the periodization.
7.     Save your entries and return.
8.     In the list of periodizations, select the periodization you just created.
9.     Choose Interval in the Dialog Structure.
10.     Choose New Entries.
11.     In the Interval No. column, enter a sequential number for each period to be defined, starting with "1".
12.     Specify the left time limit (= Start column) and the right time limit (= End column) of the range by entering the respective period of the fiscal year variant on which it is based.
Eg: In your case you follow this
               Start Column          End Column
Period 1(<1 yrs)           1               12
Period 2(2-4 yrs)                     13               36
Period 3(5-6 yrs)                     37               60
Period 4(>7 yrs)          61               specify the no. of months you want to calculate for
13.     Save your entries and return
In the Cockpit-Frame-Design screen for the mesures(KPI) on the Y-axis you select the check box of Periodization and select this User defined Periodization created by you. You click on the aggregation box too to get the cummulative value for the defioned periods.
Hope this helps. Revert incase of any query or let me know if it doesnot work as I have tried this with quarters and its working fine in my case.
