Xcelsius Drill Down With Column and Line Chart

Hi Guys,
I am working on an Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard. I would like to integrate two charts, a column and a line chart. The column chart is supposed to show the results for each quarter. With a selector it changes the view and name of the different numbers.
Then I would like to enable the drill down so that I can see the results for the three months of the corresponding quarter in the line chart. Is that somehow possible? I am totally lost. Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,
You cannot integrate a column chart and line chart to make drill down possible. You could drill down a column chart to show the values in another chart bt that would be just two different charts and not an integrated one.

Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.

Please re-post if this is still an issue

Combining Column and Line charts

I'm trying to put together a composite graph, consisting of
both LineSeries and Column Series, for a financial page. I'm
rendering the entire graph inside of a ColumnChart. However, when
multiple points for the lineseries are close together, the
mouse-over only displays a single dataTip. When working in a
LineChart, multiple dataTips are displayed for any points close
together or on top of each other; is there any (preferably simple!)
way to replicate that functionality in a ColumnChart?
Thanks!

And to make it even more fun, I just know discovered that
interpolateValues="false" does not seem to function properly within
a columnChart. Does anyone know a workaround for this
problem?

Chart missing Columns and Lines

I have created a Column Line Chart and allow the user to input different values that change formulas to produce the columns and line on the graph. I can see the graph perfectly fine with all columns and the line on the canvas view. Whenever I try to export to any file type, upon opening the file, all but two of the columns are missing and the line is missing in all spots except for at two points.
I've noticed that if I remove my formulas from my spreadsheet and just put in hard coded values in place of the formulas, the report populates correctly, but this takes away all functionality of allowing the user to adjust inputs, which is the entire reason we are using this software.
Please advise how I can fix this issue so that my chart shows all data.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan
This is common - this can happen due to possible reasons like
1) The data in preview mode on which the formula is applied is not same as the hard coded or the one in design mode. So when you go to preview its different view in the chart
2) Some other component is messing with the excel ranges you are using for formula for the chart - some components which can drop values as per their destination property.
This is how you need to test
- Add a test spreadsheet table component ( from selector category) and map all the cells that's included in the formula - the original range, the input values from the user interaction, and the final ranges with formula and the range to which chart is mapped to if different from the formula range.
- Preview the dashboard and see whats going on in those cells and if they all are behaving as expected.
- if the original data range and the input data are what you anticipate and not changed by any other variable you are not considering.
Use more than one spreadsheet table if the ranges I suggested are not contiguous.
Please try the above and post the updates.
Thanks

Problem in Combo chart columns and line

I select chart type is combo in my vc model and select data series is columns and line.
I define 5 series in the chart.
once i deployed the model the output shows the columns are overwrite in stacked position.
eg:
series 1: 10%
series 2: 20%
series 3: 45%
series 4: 25%
series 5 is line type
but in the chart the only one column will display,its top value 45% and itself shows 10% and 20% in different color.Don't show the 25% value on that column.
How to display the chart columns in clustered type in combo chart.
thanks in advance
Aravind.S

Hi
When you select 'Combo Chart' you will not get options for 'Stacked or Clustered'. By default it will be 'Stacked' chart only. Combo charts are generally used for less number of data series. Normally these charts are best suitable for 2 Data series only.
Still in your case is there any reason to use 'Combo Chart'? Consider following points -
1. If you want to use this type of chart then selction of 'Columns + Line' will be difficult because it will treat only 'Last Data Series' as line & all others will be columns & what you said problem will appear.
2. Instead of that select 'Column + Lines', so that only first 'Data series' will be column & rest all will be 'Lines'. So that you will get better visibility in that graph.
I think this will help you, If you have nay problem let me know.

Xcelsius drill down problem.

Hi gurus, I'm developing drill down chart and table.
I want to reset, making cell blank, the drill down cell when i click combo box.
I used push button to refresh or reset drill down value but it can not refresh(reset) drill down cell
because the destination cell of the chart remains drill down value
I tried like below way
*Dashboard explanation
this dashboard consists of one chart, one table, one combo box and one push button.
Of course, chart has the drill down function
a : drill down value
Goal : make drill down cell turn to blank after i used drill down once.
1ST.
when i click the chart and use drii down, a is entered into drill down cell
2ND
by using "push button", i tried to reset drill down cell
but unfortunately it does not work.
Although drill down cell changes instantly to blank after just one second, it changes to a, drill down value
Drill down cell changes like this
1 -> 2 -> 3
a -> blank -> a
i have to eliminate (2->3) phase or find another way to refresh drill down cell.
I think problem is the chart which remains drill down value(a) although pushbutton reset the drill down cell to blank.
Is there any way to refresh or reset drill down value when i click combo box?
Should i develop custom-component? i'm waiting for your answer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kwon

Amit,
Can you confirm if what you're saying also holds for components with the "Enable Drill Down" option enabled, and the "Default Selection" is set to "No Selection (-1)"?
I'm running into an issue where the "Default Selection" value is not cleared out after performing 3 levels of drill-down. On the third time I do a drill-down, by default the first element is selected, even though I've set the "Default Selection" to "No Selection (-1)".
Thanks.

Drill down in Columns

I am currently working on a report that have the drill down capabilites in rows. In other works, when I drill down in rows, the dependants show up. However, I also want to drill down in columns but it does not work.
Example: I have the total year as a heading of a column. Is it possible to drill down and have new columns show up for quarters and months?

I set the option as "Expand by overwriting rows" and then try the drill down again. IT WORKED!
The only thing about drill down by columns is that if you want to drill down to HLEVEL ="6" then you have to set the current view at Hlevel="4" with the MemberSet of SELF,DEP. Once this is set, one should be able to drill down at the dependant of Hlevel="4" to drill down and display Hlevels 5 & 6.

Cfchart yaxis scale is wrong when combining bar and line charts

Hi, I am trying to combine a bar and line chart ti display data. Everything looks good except that the yaxis scale is off. I set the scaleMin to 0 but that doesn't help. Below is my code, the custom XML style and a screen shot. My ultimate goal is to get the yaxis to start at 0, not -1,000 as is currently the case. I have combined this data with each set represented as bar charts and do not have this problem. It must be the combo of bar and line charts together. Any assistance is most appreciated.

Drill down with Parent at the bottom

Does anyone know how to set the drill function so that the new rows are inserted above the parent? The default setting for inserting new rows always insert new rows below the parent. By the way, I am using BPC 5.1.

Another way is to use DEP,SELF. This gives immediate children of CV with parent at the bottom. Then if you double click on one of the children it gives you its immediate children with itself at the bottom. It allows you to drill down any hierachy and then come back up and drill down another branch.

Bar chart and Line chart in a single chart??

Hello,
Was wondering if there is any way to create a bar chart and line chart in a single Flash or SVG chart? If not, are there any plans to introduce such a chart type in the future releases?
Regards,
Dev

Dev,
I don't think you can do that using standard Flash or SVG. However, you can do this
using my XML Chart Package
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:58
and the instructions given on
http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/index.php?menu=Gallery&submenu=Composite
You can modify the package to do that for you.

Combination stacked bar and line chart

Is there a way to create a combination stacked bar and line chart in Web Intelligence XI R2 reports?
This can be done in Excel and I'm thinking that it should be possible in WebI reports too.
Thanks

Drill down with two row expansions

Hi,
I am expanding rows by two dimensions: ProfitCenter and Account.
I have it set so it expands like this:
   ProfitCenter1    Account1
   ProfitCenter1    Account2
   ProfitCenter1    Account3
   ProfitCenter2    Account1
   ProfitCenter2    Account2
   ProfitCenter2    Account3
I want to drill down on ProfitCenter1 and get its children, and for each child, I want to have Account1,2,3.
   ProfitCenter1             Account1
   ProfitCenter1             Account2
   ProfitCenter1             Account3
     ProfitCenter1.1        Account1
     ProfitCenter1.1        Account2
     ProfitCenter1.1        Account3
     ProfitCenter1.2        Account1
     ProfitCenter1.2        Account2
     ProfitCenter1.2        Account3
   ProfitCenter2             Account1
   ProfitCenter2             Account2
   ProfitCenter2             Account3
Is this possible to do it through DrillDown? I would like to avoid 'Insert Members' if possible.
Thanks very much,
Michelle

Hi,
If all of them have a common Porperty, you can mention
PROPERTY NAME = "Value"
You can use the following keywords or combination of them to achieve your requirement
MEMBERS, BASMEMBERS, BAS, All, DEP, ALL, SELF
Hope this helps.
