Xcelsius Dashboard: Right click on chart data point

Hello friends.
I am working on Xcelsius dashboard development and I have question regarding drill down or connectivity from particular point from a chart.
I have a line chart with different data points and now i want to show some details for a particular point on chart. What are different approaches to connect it to system and show details. I heard we can right click at some data point and then connect to BW system through Webi and show details.
Can anyone let me know about this? Any pointers will be surely appreciated,
Thanks,
Agasti.

Hi Agasti,
you can configure the dril down properties of your chart so that the selected value is written in a cell. Add then a URL button (Web Connectivity), assign an openDocument URL to it and set under the Behaviour tab the drill-down cell (ie. the cell where the drill down value is written to) to be the trigger.

Discoverer Bar Chart Data Points

Hi everyone,
I am creating a Bar Chart in Discoverer with the data points to be displayed at the top. Does anyone know how to make the datapoints not display decimal places. I've tried to change the number format in the table and through administrator as well. The table does not display decimal places but the Bar Chart Data Points continue to do so. Any suggestions or thoughts to try would be welcomed. Thanks!

If you edit the chart and choose X-Axis Scale I believe you can set the number of decimal place there. Should be able to set it to 0.

Is it possible to link a text box or shape to a specific chart data point

It seems you may be trying to make a timeline. There are timeline tools out there that may be better for your particular task than Numbers.
Google search"
http://www.beedocs.com/easytimeline/

App Store result for a search "timeline - calendar" produce several options
Numbers has no object like a textbox or line that takes input from a cell of a table. You can make suggestions to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"

Line charts: data point symbol resize?

I'm working with charts in Pages and would like to be able to have a greater variety of lines in my line chart. In addition to selecting the data point symbol (square, circle, etc), I wish I could resize that symbol. I know I can resize the line width from the Graphic tab of the Inspector.
Is there a way to shrink the data point symbol from the Inspector? From anywhere?

If I understand your question, this from the Pages online help may give the answer:
To mark line, area, and scatter charts with data point symbols:
Select the entire chart. You can also select the chart series (the line or area shape) that you want to mark with data point symbols.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart Inspector button.
Click Series (except for scatter charts).
Choose a symbol from the Data Point Symbol pop-up menu.
Choose one of the following options from the Symbol Fill pop-up menu:
To fill the symbol with the same color as its outline, choose Use Stroke Color.
To fill the symbol with a solid color, choose Color Fill, click the Fill color well, and pick a color.
To fill the symbol with a gradient, choose Gradient Fill and use the gradient controls to set the colors and change the angle of the gradient.
To fill the symbol with an image, choose Image Fill and select the image you want. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.
To fill the symbol with a tinted image, choose Tinted Image Fill and select the image you want. Click the color well to the right of the Choose button to change the tint color. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.

Customize Mouse over values when hovering on a chart data point

Hi
Can someone please help me here? I have a dashboard which displays 4 series in a combinational chart. Along with the numeric values, I have another column which displays the commentary / justification of a data point on a particular date.
I want to show this as a mouse over value to change when user hovers over different dates.
Is it possible?

Web Application Designer (Line Charts-Data Points)

Hi
I have to display the query in WEB as a Line Chart
The Query is on Cal Day Vs Mean Value
The user enter the Cal Day (From/To)..the Line chart is supposed to display mean Value on No of Cal Days users choosed.
In query created variable for Cal Day..but how can i define the Data Points for the chart in the Web designer.
Bydefault we have to specift no of data points we required..how can i change that to be based on the range user entered
Than ks

Hi Krishna,
When you define a chart, you define a number of series, but when you run the WAD, it takes the number of series it has the query.

Why can't I access the data when I right click my pie chart any longer?

I don't know what happened but I need to change some data in my pie chart but I nolonger get the data option when right-clicking the chart...

then I guess at some point it has been ungrouped, which makes it simply a collection of objects, rather than a graph. you're supposed to get this message when that happens. did you see this at any point? when did it stop being editable?

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Erratic pointer: right clicking in VISTA under Leopard Bootcamp

Hi! This is my first post, so please be gentle! I have searched the forums and, although I can find many similar threads, I haven't been able to locate an identical one to this. Or, more importantly, a solution.
I have the 2.16ghz, Black MacBook which came with Tiger installed. I had been using VISTA under Bootcamp Beta for some months with no problems. I recently ungraded to Leopard (keeping all my original settings etc), upgraded the Bootcamp drivers and everything was still working fine.
Since upgrading to Leopard I had felt that the Mac OS was a little slower in certain areas. Nothing severe, just mainly the time to display the contents of a folder could take a couple of extra seconds. A few days ago, I thought I would start afresh and would do a fresh install of both Leopard (erasing and installing) and VISTA. Leopard now runs perfectly. Very smooth and noticably faster.
VISTA installed with no apparent problems and I used the Leopard disc to install drivers. After they were installed and the machine restarted, VISTA gave me a problem retort saying certain drivers were not installed (iSight, null issues etc...etc...), although they definitely had been. I noticed this problem report is mentioned in the Apple trobleshooting questions but in says it may occur before installing the drivers and installation will resolve the pronlem. However, I didn't get the report till after installing the drivers. Anyway, that in itself is not the most obvious problem (as things do seem to be working, mainly).
My main issue is... When I right-click in certain ares (2 fingers on trackpad and click on button), the pointer "jumps". Sometimes vertically, sometimes horizontally. However it only happens when rightclicking on an item which is part of a list or number of options. For example, if I open the GAMES folder in the start menu and try to right-click on Solitaire, the pointer will jump making it impossible to make a selection. The same problem will occur when selecting from a list of items in a folder. I can right click on the desktop with no problems.
VISTA worked perfectly under Bootcamp BETA and under Bootcamp 2.0 before erase and install. I have tried to install an old trackpad driver from Bootcamp BETA that I found on another forum but when I try to install it, I am met with "...you already have the up to date driver" and it will go no further.
Can anyone help?

Do you know how to remove a driver (may need to do a Safe Boot for some), reboot, and install the driver you want.
Sometimes, maybe during testing? maybe the presence of the older driver first, and then update.
Meaning that having the older drivers from 1.3 etc, then apply the 2.0 Apple drivers, works best. Remove, install, see how that goes, and maybe then apply 2.0 drivers if you want (I'd wait and see how it goes).
Also, you might want to look into cloning and backing up Vista. I can say that Acronis TrueImage looked good, but eventually learned hard way they don't yet support Mac (EFI/GPL parttitions). So I use Norton Ghost 12. WinClone is working on an update for Leopard.
Might want to send feedback to Apple about BootCamp which is always useful and helpful.
Just a guess/hunch.

Chart date out of order

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have a chart that is grouped on the date by month. The data in the main crosstab report is in the correct order but the dates are grouped incorrectly in the graph. The graph is listing in this order:
1/2007, 10/2007,11/2007, 2/2007,3/2007....
It's picking up the first number as the sort order instead of the date. I've checked by date format and everything is correct in my report. What can I change to get the chart date order correct?

Chart date out fo order

Upgraded 10g to 11g. Most graphs are displaying correctly however have 1 chart that the dates are out fo order, though there is a sort on the calendar ID. I have a field called calendar ID with data such as 201101 = 2011 Jan and 201102 = 2011 Feb. If I view this in table view it shows correctly, but as a chart starts at like Jun 2001 then Aug 2011, etc. Is this a know bug or a easy fix?

Best practice to implement different Xcelsius dashboard for different users

I'm implementing an Xcelsius dashboard that requires to show each individual user with different content (e.g. When a user logins in, the dashboard shows her name and job title, her performance and her subordinate's performance). I'm just wondering what's the best practice to implement scenario like this? Thanks.

Hi Thomas
What you are looking at is "Row Level Security" within BusinessObjects and the options you have are determined by what type of data you are reporting off of (relational data, OLAP data, BW data, etc.)
For instance, if you are using relational data with a Universe you could setup a database table with the BusinessObjects username to correspond with their e-mail address or other unique identifier. From there, you could add security to your universe using the @variable('BOUSER')
That way, any objects created off of the universe (whether it is a Crystal Report, Web Intelligence, BI Web Service, QaaWS, LiveOffice, etc.) will filter the data based on this security model. So any Xcelsius dashboard based on this underlying data will also be filtered.
And that is just one of the options you have, depending on your data source.

Hi Sy,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53851.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Now follow the directions under the sub-heading 'Adjust horizontal and vertical scrolling' in the document on the link below to configure the scroll options as you require.

Add Xcelsius Dashboard to Web Dynpro via Flex Wrapper

Hello all,
I'm trying to get my application, similar described in [https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001894392008E.pdf].
When running the app in Flex Builder 3 i got the following error in firefox(i guess flashplayer debugger?!)
SecurityError: Error #2047: Verletzung der Sicherheits-Sandbox: parent: file u2026bin-release/xyz.swf kann nicht auf file u2026bin-debug/xyz.swf zugreifen.
     at flash.display::DisplayObject/get parent()
     at mx.managers::SystemManager/executeCallbacks()
     at mx.managers::SystemManager/docFrameHandler()
Help: Because the description of the error is in German, I'll try to translate: file xyz.swf cannot access file xyz.swf!
(xyz.swf) is both times in the same folder, so I suggest, that would be the same file... But where can I change that? And where in Flex Builder do i have to add my swf exportet from Xcelsius? Any help available?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much for your fast reply.
I found that documentation before, but my Slider is embedded in an Xcelsius-Dashboard. I tried to get the event-handling working, but only in VC, and not in Web Dynpro4J.
I use the GenericXcelsiusWrapper.swf as Wrapper for the Xcelsius Dashboard, and I can write data in the Flash Island and display it, but after a change in WD the changed value will not be displayed in the TextView.
Do I have to handle an GAC-Event-Property, and if yes, which name should I use?
Hope, anyone has experience with that or has a document, because I didn't find any, and can help.
Best regards,
Bonita

Reg: How to send Xcelsius dashboard through mail

Hi all,
I want to Email the Xcelsius dashboard. Whenever the backend data changes ,notification have to send through mail like scheduling the report.
Is it possible to schedule the Xcelsius dashboard?
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

Hemalatha,
Unfortunately that is not possible.
Below is what we did for the similar requirement...
--> Developed dashboards in Xcelsius.
--> Published dashboard on the portal.
--> When ever data is loaded in SAP BI, using "Information Broadcasting" an email is triggered to the end users, like "Data is now available for 06/2009"
--> Users access dashboards logging into portal.
Hope this helps...
