ssrs not see all the information in chart axis - charts

why when this is little information this sees ok, i am not sure but i believe this work ok with max 8 or 10 axis-information in this case codigos de producto or product code.
this is not the first report which get this bug.
but when this is big information
i dont see the others products code, it show only somes. about 5 or 4 codes,
these are my horizontal option
the answer of #register user works fine

Is your question "how do I get the X-axis to show all product codes regardless of the number of codes?" If so, then explicitly define the Interval = 1 in the Horizontal Axis Properties -> Axis Options -> Interval section. This should force it to show each label every time. You may also want to edit the Horizontal Axis Properties -> Labels and Labels Fonts screens to force rotating the labels, changing the font size, etc., instead of relying on the auto and default options.

Time Stack Chart with years as horizontal axis

I want to add a stacked chart but could not find a way to customize the time-axis.
Currently my x-axis refers to days, however, I search for a way to display years. Since I want a stacked chart that changes over time, I believe I need to use the 'Time Stack Chart' (see screenshot). I would also be happy with simply several stacked bars next to each other (each bar represents one year), but the 'Bar Chart' only supports one bar (I believe).
My model collects data from different sources on the last day of the year and then my chart should display this value for the year, categorized by source. I have tried with different data sets, both where the time is the horizontal value and where it is not.
When I use a dataset where one value is 'Years' (through the getYear() function) this works fine for plots, but not when I want to have a stacked chart (which by default depends on the time).
Is there a solution to this?
Please let me know if you need further information!
You need to go to the appearance part, time axis format, set it to yyyy. Also in the scale section, you need to change model time units to years.

Custom number format for y-axis on Chart

I have created a chart with 2 axes that acts as a panel chart (see image)
As a panel chart I only want to show the portions of the relevant y-axes to the chart next to them. For example, for the right-most y-axis I used a custom number format to exclude anything less than 0:
_(* #,##0_);_("";_(* 0??_);_(#_)
But for the left most y-axis, I'm stuck. I want to show -400 to positive 400. I've tried 2 different options, but neither is producing the desired effect.
[<0](#,##0);[>500000000]"";#,##0_)
[<0](#,##0);[<500000000]#,##0_);""
Here is the result I'm looking for:
I learned something new today (and a bit weird) regarding formats and chart axes
After some experimenting, this is what I ended up using:
[White][>500]_(#,##0_);(#,##0);0;
The odd part: When you change the Display Units of the axis (for me, millions), then the formatting no longer recognizes the original amount (500,000,000).
Once I figured that out, I was able to work out the solution.

Custom Colors in Pie Charts (Crystal Reports 2008)

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 (12.4.0.966), and can't seem to force specific colors in a pie chart.
We are analyzing selected measurement topic (MT) scores of elementary and middle school students. The report has five groups, and the chart is going into the Group 3C Footer (where a parameter can cause it to be suppressed if desired). I have a database column Score that can have values from 0.000 to 4.000. To enjoy some sanity for the resulting charts I impose granularity with the #LetterGrade formula:
SELECT {Reporting_CFSD_MT_Scores_A;1.Score}
CASE IS >= 3.5 : "ADV" // Advanced
CASE IS >= 3.1 : "PRO+" // Proficient Plus
CASE IS >= 3.0 : "PRO" // Proficient
CASE IS >= 2.5 : "APP" // Approaching Proficiency
CASE IS >= 2.0 : "BASI" // Basic
DEFAULT : "BLB" // Below Basic
In the Chart Expert >> Data tab, I've got On Change Of #LetterGrade with specified order based on the order in the formula above, and my Show Value is Count of #LetterGrade. The resulting pie chart gives me the break down of grades that I need.
The problem is that I want each of the six pie slices to have a specific color -- from bottom to top: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, (Dark) Violet -- rather than accept the default colors. I thought I could go to the Color Highlight tab in the Chart Expert and have six entries (e.g., #LetterGrade = "ADV" sets a custom color of dark violet (and I've tried it with and without the quotes around the string)), but the first pie slice is always blue, the second is always tan, the third is always green, etc., regardless of what value it represents.
Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the Color Highlight tab? Is it not possible to set custom pie slice colors in this version of Crystal Reports (after more hoops than I care to think about I'm finally downloading SP5, but at the rate its coming in I may not have it fully downloaded until tomorrow; God help me if the solution is in one of the six 5.X or 6.X Fix Packs)? Or am I just missing a trick somewhere?
EDIT:
For giggles I changed the sort order on the Data tab from a specified order to ascending order and now the pie slices are exactly the colors I wanted. So it appears that I can either specify the display order of the slices and have to accept the default colors, or I can let it display in an undesirable order and get the colors I want. Sounds like a bug to me, unless someone knows a trick for getting around this.
If I'm not mistaken, in the report editor, preview the report and then click on a pie slice so it is selected. Then right click on that slice and select "Format Pie Sclice". Then you can change the color, pattern, gradient, etc.
Let me know if that works.

EDIT: If you want to do it conditionally, I think you may need to specify
#LetterGrade => 2.0
which in the editor should be #LetterGrade is greater or equal to 2.0
instead of
#LetterGrade = "BASI"
But you should be getting a choice of values when you create your conditions. I did a quick sample report with a chart that shows me the onhand value of certain items and I was able to "hardcode" the colors using the steps outlined in my original answer and also conditionally by using the Color Highlight wizard and the predefined values.
It turns out that editing the chart in design view doesn't work correctly. In the design view, when I use the Chart Expert I can either specify the order in which the slices are displayed, or I can designate the color for individual slices, but I cannot do both (also, in the Highlight Color tab, the last box in the Item Editor section -- where you choose the value to match -- does not give me a drop-down menu from which to choose, but instead will only let me type in the value to match: thank you #campagnolo_1 for bringing this lack to my attention, which pointed me toward the solution).
If I instead work in the preview view, click on the chart, and pull up the Chart Expert there (and choose Applied to group template), I can both set the sort order and the highlight color.
I'm guessing this is a bug, but since CR2008 isn't supported any more, I'll just have to live with it.

Sigmaplot: How to scale x-axis for correctly displaying boxplots

I want to display overlapping boxplots using Sigmaplot 12. When I choose the scale for the x-axis as linear then the boxes do indeed overlap but are much too thin. See figure below. Of course they should be much wider.
When I choose the scale of the x-axis to be "category", then the boxes have the right width, but are arranged along each single x-value.
I want the position as in figure 1 and the width as in figure 2. I tried to resize the box in figure 1 but when I choose 100% in "bar width" than it still looks like Figure 1.
many thanks!
okay, I found the answer myself. In Sigmaplot, there is often the need to prepare "style"-columns, for example if you want to color your barcharts, you need a column that holds the specific color names.
For my boxplot example I needed a column that has the values for "width". These had to be quite large (2000) in order to have an effect. Why ? I have no idea. First I thought it would be because of the latitude values and that the program interprets the point as "1.000"s, but when I changed to values without decimals, it didnĀ“t get better.
Well, here is the result in color.
Have fun !

SSRS chart does not show all labels on Horizontal axis

My SSRS report does not show all the labels on the horizontal axis. Please see below.
Note how the red arrows point to the few that do show. So my question is, where are the rest of the labels? Each bar should have one.
For the chart I'm adding number data for the bars, and another field for the Category Groups. That field in Category Group is for the labels.
Does anyone know why some are missing?
Also, a second but less important question, why is the order of the bars not the same order as the dataset?
The problem here is that if there are too many data bars the labels will not show.
To fix this, under the "Chart Axis" properties set the Interval value to "=1". Then all the labels will be shown.
Go to Horizontal axis properties,choose 'Category' in AXIS type,choose "Disabled" in SIDE Margin option
It looks as though the horizontal axis (Category Group) labels have very long values - there may not be room to display them all. I suggest changing the labels to have shorter values.
You can set the sort order for the Category Groups in the Category Group Properties - Sorting section - this may have been previously set; if not, I suggest using this to sort as desired.
(Three years late...) but I believe the answer to your second question is that SSRS essentially treats data from your datasets as unsorted; I'm not sure if it ignores any ORDER BY in the sql, or if it just assumes the data is unsorted.
To sort your groups in a particular order, you need to specify it in the report:
Select the chart,
In the Chart Data popup window (where you specify the Category Groups), right-click your Group and click Category Group Properties,
Click on the Sorting option to see a control to set the Sort order
For the report I just created, the default sort order on the category was alphabetic on the category group which was basically a string code. But sometimes it can be useful to sort by some other characteristic of the data; for example, my report is of Average and Maximum processing times for messages identified by some code (the category). By setting the sort order of the group to be on [MaxElapsedMs], Z->A it draws my attention to the worst-performing message-types.
This sort of presentation won't be useful for every report but it can be an excellent tool to guide readers to have a better understanding of the data; though on other occasions you might prefer a report to have the same ordering every time it runs, in which case sorting on the category label itself may be best... and I guess there are circumstances where changing the sort order could harm understanding, such as if the categories implied some sort of ordering (such as date values?)
Really late reply for me, but I just suffered the pain of this problem as well.
What fixed it for me (after trying the Axis label settings and intervals from those screens, none of which worked!) was select the Horizontal Axis, then when you can see all the properties find Labels, and change LabelInterval to 1.
For some reason when I set this from the pop up properties screens it either never 'stuck' or it changes a slightly different value that didn't fix my issue.

To see all dates on the report;
Set Axis Type to Scalar,
Set Interval to 1
-Jump Labels section
Set disable auto-fit
set label rotation angle as you desire.
These would help.
