We are trying to create org chart in Visio using wizard by providing excel file and then saving as web page
We are creating separate page for all the executives. Now issue is if executive has less no. of reportees the shapes are coming good as below
But if reportees are more, then shapes are coming very small which are not readable at all
The question is, how to keep the shape size same as in image 1, so that it can be readable?
For the last 2 column, you may try to put it in 3-4 columns.
Re P S:
Can you?
select the boxes and choose required width/height
break down the org chart, one for department and some for persons

I am putting a footnote in an .rtf template, and before generating a report it seems ok,
but when I load an XML sample and preview the document (.pdf or .doc etc.)
the footnote content goes right into the body of my report (example is in the picture).
I've tried using text boxes, but it doesn't help.
I've also tried just making a paragraph look as a footnote, but since I have a lot of
tags in my template, the footnote-looking text doesn't stay at the
bottom of the page.
and I can't use footers/headers because I need only one footnote at one page.
Try to draw a borderless table with one column and two rows where the first row has fixed hight (exactly) of the size of body, and the second row fixed hight of the size you want to reserve for the footer. Then you place your xml data in those two rows of the table the same way as you put it on the page. I use that for different forms when the position of the data is fixed. There are also other table/row/column properties that you might want to use.
I'm a new tableau developer trying to develop a table based tableau report. I have a column in the table called "Status" which essentially contains 3 values "In progress" , "Blocked" and "Completed". I want to color code the cells of this column based on these text values. I was unable to get this from the tableau community and hence posting it here. Anyone faced this problem? Kindly let me know how you solved it.

First thing, Tableau is not excel. Stop trying to make Tableau work like excel, you'll miss most of the power Tableau brings, and make it inefficiently operate like Excel.
That being said, let me give you an alternative. Instead of text chart (which is what you're using to get a table), select Shape chart. This will add balls in the last column (but you can choose what shape you want)
Now drag the Status to color, and voilà, the balls are painted accordingly to Status. You can customize the shapes too (just drag some field to Shape), and selected what shape and color you want to each value.
This will look more like a "control panel", with the color of the balls something like a traffic light. You can even import some pictures of traffic lights and use them as shapes, that could be cool (if properly used)
I know this post is a couple years old, but there is a way to do this. In a new tableau workbook, import the data from Excel (just one column with the status values). Rename the table to "Status Colors" with a dimension field called "Status". Click the dimension field "Status" and select Default Properties > Colors. Assign the colors to each data item (value). For custom colors (RGB, HTML, etc.) double-click the color next to the value and assign the desired color. Click OK, then publish the data source to the server with the options checked to "Include external files".
You now have a Tableau data source that can be added as data to any other workbooks that when linked, the [Status Colors].[Status] can be used as the color key for the field on any graphs. The default colors are stored in the data source. If you update the color workbook, then it will update any other workbooks that use this data source.
Since SO community has thrown it in active threads, let me propose an answer. Though, I completely agree that we shouldn't replicate features of excel in Tableau, yet here is one workaround.
I took a dummy data like this
create a calculated field say status cf with the following calculation
CASE [Status]
WHEN 'In Progress' THEN 'Yellow'
WHEN 'Completed' then 'Green'
WHEN 'Blocked' then 'Red'
END
create two more CFs say 1 and 0 with just 1 and 0 in these as calculations.
Drag dummy and status to rows shelf. sum(0) and sum(1) to columns shelf.
Drag status cf to sum(0). Edit sum(0) in marks card with type as shape (square), and increase its size. edit colors as fixed in calculation.
Drag status to label in sum(1) in marks card. change type to text
Convert both measures in columns shelf as dual axis.
After a little formatting, you'll get a text table like this
You may optionally hide, status col in rows shelf
i am using Crystal 2008 and Would like to add data table just underneath attached to a Chart. This can be done very easily in Excel. Don't know how to do it in Crystal
please advise....much appreciated
The way your question is worded I'm not clear if you mean under as in "behind" or "below". It would help if you include a mockup drawing of what you're trying to accomplish.
If you mean "behind", the feature you're looking for is Section Underlay. This video gives a small demo of the feature to put a watermark image behind the report, but you can do the same thing with a chart, crosstab, or other object. The "World Sales Report" sample report has another example of this feature to put a table beside the chart.
If you mean "below", you can either just add sections and put your data fields there, or if that's not the type of table you're looking for, you may want to use a Crosstab object.
I'm working on a report which displays a configuration for a product, which depending on the product choosen has specific properties. I thought it would be handy to have one rectangle with a table on the left (tblDetailsB) and one on the right side of the report (tblDetailsA) (don't mind the order of A and B here...).
Under the rectangle I have another table which shows a list of drawers (if they're part of the configuration), this list comes from another dataset.
My problem is the size of the rectangle which holds tblDetailA and tlbDetailB is fixed (that's usually why one chooses a rectangle to hold..) and my tlbLade subreport for the drawers is under a lot of whitespace..
I could use subreports for tblDetailsA and tblDetailsB but I don't want to have too many of them..
I got myself into this mess, maybe someone knows a much better idea to solve this?
Thanks to http://www.sqldev.org/sql-server-reporting-services/hidden-rows-still-displayed-9660.shtml
I found out I have to suppress / hide the rows in the static row group under the details group (switch to advanced mode first..).
When I did that the size of the Rectangle (container) was ignored when the rows where hidden :)

Is it possible to create a table with this crystal reports, because I need to layout or format my data into a table(not cross tab), is there a way to do this cause I think my tool box is only limited to lines and boxes and basic shapes.
There's a few things you can do to make it look like a table:
Create Each row in your report represents a row in the table.
Put a border/box around the table use the 'Insert Box' from the toolbar and simple start drawing the box in the header of the (or group header) and finish in the footer (or group footer) and when you preview the report you'll see a box around the whole table [report]
Column grid lines can easily be done by linking the top and bottom of your box. they will then expand out in preview mode.
Top Tip: Zooming right in, to say 300%, makes getting the joins much easier, and investigate snap-to-grid you may want to simple disable it it may actually make life easier,(when ultimate precision is required)
If you need to display the data as a table, you can get creative with details, groups, subsections, and formulae. For example, the formula sum({A},{B}) adds all the values of {A} for each group {B} (best used in a group footer). If you have any specific questions, I can try to answer them.
Sorry, but Crystal reports can not create tables. It can execute a stored procedure that creates tables, but that's really the procedure creating the tables.
