X-axis labels for months when listing daily data

Hi all,
Have a problem with the presentation of a chart that I need some assistance with, can anyone advise.
OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
I have a chart that is display data along the x-axis for a rolling year, however the selection is excluding weekends. On the date column I have a custom format of MMM-yyyy to produce the months and get 12 labels, however it will often skip one month and duplicate another. So for example I'm currently getting:
Mar-2010, Mar-2010, May-2010, Jun-2010, etc.....
Mar-2010 is shown twice and Apr-2010 is missing.
I appreciatre this is because I'm missing off the weekends, it sometime coincides that a given month has far less days shown.
Can anyone suggest a soilution to get the 12 months listed as the actual 12months rather then some duplicates/missing?
Thanks for any assistance.

Rename cursor axis label for a XY Graph

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.2 and would like to relabel the axis of the cursor legend for a XY graph. Presently the cursor lengend contains X (for the X axis) and Y for the (Y axis). I would like to be able to rename the labels of the X and Y axis of the cursor lengend to give the user a more accurate description of the axis labels.
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The changes that were made changed the names of the cursors, not the name of the X and Y axis. Think of it this way suppose that I have a X Y graph of Frequency (on the X axis) and Amplitude (on the Y axis). I create a cursor on the graph and move it around the waveform to examine the characterictics of the signal. When I move the cursor I would like the see the frequency and amplitude where the cursor is at on the signal. Right now the user has to remember (not to difficult) to figure out that the X axis is frequency and the Y axis is amplitude.
So I would like to be able to rename the header of the cursor location from X to Frequency and Y to Amplitude.

Kaspar

X axis labels for custom group names

I have a report with one group. That group has a customized group name field, and the group name is a formula. When I display the group name in the data section of the report, it displays according to the formula.
I now need to chart two pieces of data - Primary # of Sales and Secondary # of Sales - for that group so I can compare the two # of sales. If I make a chart for the Primary # of Sales, and go to the group tab in the Chart Expert and specify "on change of Group By Value (my grouping), show the sum of the Primary # of Sales", the chart displays as desired, and I see the custom group name (formula) as the X axis label.
But if I go to the Advanced Layout on the Data tab of the Chart expert and specify the Sum of Primary # of Sales AND Sum of Secondary # of Sales in the Show Values section, the X axis label no longer shows the custom group name; it shows the group value.
Any ideas for how to get it to show the custom group name when I chart two fields of data?
Thanks in advance!

Does not display axis label in graph when exported to excel

I have a wierd issue.I have a report with graph with coloum chart and axis labels description on x axis.WHen i export the report to PDF everything looks OK.But when i export it to excel few axis labels disapper.Out of 12 labels only 2 apper when exported to excel.Has anyone encountered this issue.
If so is there a way to fix this.
PS: I am using BO XI 3.1 Webi.
Thank you,
Sanjeev

hi,
I have tried this out with a sample.
In WEBI preview mode and PDF, all axis labels will appear fine.
But when exported to excel, some labels will disappear.
Workaround: We have to increase the chart size in Excel till all axis labels appear clearly.

CR Enterprise - Custom y-axis labels for line chart

Hi
I have data with a discrete status (STATUS-1...STATUS-5) per day, like
Feb 1: STATUS-1
Feb 2: STATUS-2
Feb 3: STATUS-2
Feb 4: STATUS-1
Feb 30: STATUS-4
Feb 31: STATUS-1
This series I'd like to render in a date axis line chart with the daily status ordinals (1-5) on the y-axis.
Now I wonder how I can label the y-axis ticks with the respective STATUS text instead of the ordinal.
Unfortunately, the option "Total (Y) Axis/Axis/AxisLabels/Display Label" is disabled due to the value's numeric nature.
How can I manually overwrite y-axis labels or map them to custom text?
Thanks. Jens

HI Jens,
Have you tried creating a formula and using that in 'Show Values' section of the chart?
Formula:
"STATUS-" & {Numeric_field}

Customize Axis Label for Time

Hello
I have a chart with times (9:00,10:09,11:13,12:21 etc..)on the horizontal axis.
Is it possible to customize these axislabels and show only whole hours, 30 or 15 minutes depending on the scale? Like 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 10:00 or 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 etc..

I would imagine if you create a dataProvider with the desired time increments it should display fine. There was a forum post recently about how to generate a range of date strings, like 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, etc. I would search for that and then see the Flex Builder help sys on charts, and more specifically setting axislabels.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Acrobat Pro XI transposes numbers for month and day in dates when saving optimized pdf to Excel spreadsheet.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Excel 14.3.8 on a mac.
Saved PDF as "optimized PDF" then "save as other" > spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook.
Problem: numbers in some random dates are transposed so that month and day are reversed. No particular pattern to these errors. Only fix we've found is to go through and manually check and correct the date errors - there are hundreds of these errors in the document so this is not a good solution.
(Note: Excel columns with dates are specified as "date" fields. All dates are formatted as m/d/yy)
Any ideas what's causing this problem problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Checking for month boundaries given a date

Hello everyone,
Given a date, I have to check whether a date is the 1st or last in the month, I have some views of doing it ,but looking for the best and efficient method to start with.
Replies are greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
Greeshma.

Hi,
Many of Oracle's date functions allow a parameter where you can override the current NLS settings only for that function call.
For example:
SELECT TO_DATE ( 'JUIL.'
                 , 'MON'
                 , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH'
                 ) AS month
FROM    DUAL;You could also create your own table of month names
NAME     NUM     LANGUAGE
JANVIER   1     FRENCH
JANV       1     FRENCHand look up the names in this table, rather than in a string hard-coded in the function. This might be especially useful if you wanted to allow your own abbreviations or spellings (e.g., ignoring accent marks).

Set up alarm for monthly recurrance and especific dates

good morning,
anyone knows how do I set up a monthly recurring alarm in the clock? Also, can I set an alarm with an especific date?, how do I set up a monthly recurring alarm in the clock? Also, can I set an alarm with an especific date?
thanks,

It's an alarm clock, not a calendar. You can set alarms to repeat on various days of the week. You can't set it to recur monthly or on a specific date. For that, you'd need to use an alert in the calendar.
It's possible that there are alarm apps in the App Store that will do what you want. You'll need to do some searching.
Best of luck.

CR4E Chart Axis Label

I have a report developed with Crystal Reports XI Standard that includes a chart. The axis labels for the chart have been set (via Edit Axis Label) and appear correctly in preview mode of the Crystal Reports XI designer (e.g. "District" instead of "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
When this report is exported to a PDF file via a Java program (using Crystal Reports for Eclipse), the axis labels revert to their original values (e.g. appear as "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
Can the axis labels be set before exporting the report via the JRC API?
Or is there some way to save the axis labels to the report using the Crystal Reports XI designer?
Thank you...

Thanks so much for following up on this. To clarify, converting month numbers to names is nice, and I did that using the specified order suggestion, but it doesn't effect the order of say, May, when Jan thru Apr are missing, and in fact created other issues of data misintrepatation I didn't bother resolving at the time.
I suppose the best solution would be something that supplies a placeholder for blank months, so that the Jan-Dec order remains constast and the data graph bars appear in appropriate months, Jan-Apr no bars, May-Dec with data generated bars.
Does this help?

IChart x-axis labels

I'm having some issues with the x-axis labels on an iChart.
The data I'm trying to display returns a date column I want to use as the x-axis labels. The data returned looks similar to the following:
MY_DATE | project1 | project2 | project3 .... Where the number of project columns returned can be variable, and the column names change as well based on the project name. The one column always returned in the data is the MY_DATE column.
The issue I'm having is that it doesn't display the custom labels for the x-axis. I specify "MY_DATE" as the "X-Axis Label Columns", yet it completely ignores it. I've verified in the javascript that the MY_DATE column is specified as the label column, but it doesn't use it.
I think I discovered what is making it not work, but I cannot figure out why. I have another identical display template, one has a static set of columns returned. I can then specify the "Value Columns" in the "Data Mapping" template category of the display template, as well as the label column "MY_DATE" under the X-axis label columns. In this case it works, but when I take the Data Mapping "Value Columns" away, the dates disappear from the x-axis.
Does anyone have another way to set custom labels for the x-axis? Or any insight as to why it wouldn't work?

Austin,
What do you want the user to see initially? An empty chart? Please explain the initial state of the chart and how the user interacts with it.
1. Is your query time-sensitive? This means in the SQL Query you have designated a Date Column or used the SD and ED tokens in a filter expression. If the query is time-sensitive, the date will automatically map as the X-Axis label. If it is not time-sensitive, in addition to adding the My_Date to the X-Axis Label Colunms, add it to the X-Axis Value Columns.
2. I have found that if I return all the columns in the query, then I simply have to do this to make them show upon some event triggered by the user:
// assume user chose these columns
var valCols = "ProjA,ProjB,ProjC";
var chartObj = document.AreaChart.getChartObject();
chartObj.setValueColumns(valCols);
document.AreaChart.updateChart(true);
3. I wrote a small transaction using the same query and display template in the Chart action block configuration. I created a transaction property for inputting the value columns (a comma-separate list) and linked this transaction property (the source property) to the Chart action's ValueColumns property (the desination property). I then use a PDF Document action and a PDF Image action, linking the encodedImage property of the Chart to the encodedImage. When I varied the content of the transaction input property to use differenct columns, the changes showed in the PDF Document.
Hope this is helpful.
Kind Regards,
Diana Hoppe

Line chart x-axis label overloaded with labels

Hi,
I have a Line chart filled by a large resultset (hundreds of rows). Each row contains a decimal value and a timestamp. The interval between timestamps is short so it is impossible to plot every single date/time in the x-axis label because there is no space.
I would like to hide the the x-axis label for most rows and plot this label for each x rows. Something like this:
18/12/2009 09:00            18/12/2009 10:00           18/12/2009 11:00            18/12/2009 12:00
        |---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
In the previous x-axis example there are many timestamps between 18/12/2009 09:00 and 18/12/2009 10:00 but they are not plotted in the chart. It is possible to do something like this in MII charts?
Thank you,

Hi,
I think Michael is right about the Ticks per label parameter. Looks like it is not working for me because the chart data binding is not behaving as expected.
The chart rowset is composed by two fields: decimal and date time. The date time field is already converted to string. The rowset comes from a BLS transaction.
I think this forum has no support for file upload so I will add links to the xMII workbench screenshots so you guys can see my chart/query configuration.

When I run the chart I get this result: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart1.PNG
As you can see the chart has no X-Axis labels ans I need to add the date/time to the X-axis. If I add the field to "X-Axis label columns" the field values are ploted but the parameter "Ticks per label" is ignored and hundreds of labels are ploted together and is impossible to read them. I think the "Ticks per label" parameter only works for fields added to Labels columns (in data mapping). The problem I am facing is: when I add the date field (http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/data_mapping2.PNG) to Label columns I get an empty chart like this: http://www.vetta-group.com:8080/imgs/chart2.PNG
What am I doing wrong?

How to give individual horizontal axis label to two stacked bar of cartesian chart

I have a cartesian chart showing no. of xyz and no.of abc for a particular period of time. i.e. two bars corresponding to xyz & abc for Jan, and then again two bars corresponding to xyz & abc for Feb, and so on. I have used label function to give label to horizontal axis such that labels look like "xyz abc (nextLine) Jan" ,"xyz abc (nextLine) Feb".
But the issue is that the label is not centre alligned to the respective bars, i.e. xyz is not coming under xyz bar and abc is not coming under abc bar. the whole label's alignment is somewhere in between the two bars on x-axis. And i want to have label centre alligned to their respective bars, i.e 'xyz' should be centre alligned to 'xyz' bar, and 'abc' label should be centre alligned to 'abc' bar, along with the time period value. I have tried giving space in between "xyz" and "abc" but the problem occurs when data varies.They again don't seems centre aligned. I want x-axis label for each bar along with the categoryaxis's category field.
So,is there any way to achieve such functionality??

Could you post a screenshot of your current output and maybe a mockup of the desired output?
