I am trying to render a telerik report graph. This graph can have up to 5 different series, though most have 3. I have a odd problem where one (or more of the lines) does not perform as expected and behaves erratically. When I checked the objects, the data appears to be correct.
Any Ideas?
Turns out the points need to be ordered while entering them via C#. If they are entered out of order then you get the above behavior.

I'm building a Grafana dashboard with some Stat panels that show average, minimum, and maximum time values (see below) for specific fields in my database. I'm storing the data in seconds and setting the value's units to seconds after which the panel displays the time in weeks, days, hours, etc. For the sake of consistency, I would like everything to be shown in days but I haven't been able to find a way to force units for the output value. If it's possible to do this, could someone please point me to some docs, or something that could show me which configurations to make in my panels?
So far, I've tried (without success):
Configure each panel to use units of days
The result of this was that everything showed up in years, etc.
Configure each panel to create a new field by performing a binary calculation where I converted from seconds to days and then I updated the units to be days
The result was that the values were not changed at all -> instead of showing X days, or whatever, it just showed the value in seconds without the units. I'm not sure what I messed up there, but it didn’t change anything.
I found this link that discusses setting a time range for queries
This didn’t end up being useful for what I was trying to do because it was actually geared towards changing the query to a specific date range rather than the output.
I looked through the transformations documentation, stat panel documentation, and a few other panel documentation pages in an effort to see if there was any information on how to do it but I was unable to find anything on forcing the output value to use a specific unit.
Edit:
So I kept messing around with the dashboard and got a solution that works - i.e. it's a "good-enough" solution (see below) - but, now, I'm curious if it's possible to show the units along with the value without it converting it to some other unit. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
One thing to note is that the data for this image is different than the data for the previous one so I'm expecting an inexact conversion to days.
You can use a custom unit. It is a bit tricky to enter the unit in the UI because of the automatic selection but if you enter i.e. "days" (without the quotes) in the Unit field ans instead of leving the field with tab or mouse click use the scrollbar of the combobox and select the last entry "Custom Unit: days".
Hope it helps. And for the record: I am using Garafana 7.1.4
I am working on a Crystal Report that is utilizing the Multiple Pie Chart graph type to show some data on change of location. I have run into the situation where a record has 17 locations. I cannot seem to make the chart auto-grow, even though set to only display 2 pies per row, it is showing all 17 pie charts on a single page. This is way too dense. I think the answer would be to count the data-rows involved and dynamically insert a Report Header and single Pie Chart for each, but have no idea how to accomplish this in Crystal. I have spent quite a bit of time looking for information on this and come up with absolutely nothing. I'm pretty much a CR newb. Haven't worked with it since school, years ago. A push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using GA's Core Reporting API to create a report that shows the top exit pages alongside some behavioural metrics for each page. The dimension is ga:exitPagePath, and the metrics I want are:
ga:exits
ga:pageviews
ga:entrances
ga:avgTimeOnPage
ga:bounceRate
ga:exitRate
I'm sorting by -ga:exits. I'm not using any filters or segments.
The query appears to work fine, it doesn't return an error - however the entrances values it returns are incorrect and exactly match the exit values for each page. Other queries for ga:entrances without ga:exits give the correct entrance values.
I may have overlooked it but I can't find anywhere in the documentation indicating that these metrics can't be used together. I also tested creating a custom report within the GA interface with these two metrics and found the same result - no error or indication that I can't create a report with both metrics, but entrances incorrectly reported and exactly matching the exit values. I also get the same result in GA's Query Explorer.
Would love to work this out - it seems perfectly logical to me to want to view entrances alongside exits for exit pages :)
A better late than never response.
It makes sense, because all users that have visited your site (entrances) have left (exits).
It gets meaningful when using it along with the pages (ga:pagePath for example).
I have a crystal report containing multiple subreports. I need to find the way to 'collect' all the data printed on the report/subreports in the following (or similar)
format:
Page1:FieldName1=Value1|FieldName2=Value2|...|Page2:FieldName1=Value1.1|FieldName2=Value2.1|.....
So, the important note is that there is a possibility to figure out on which page (in the PDF generated from report) the particular field value occured.
I tried to do some complex formulas which would 'remember' all the data in a cumulative string within formula(s) (WhilePrintingRecords) but the part I can't achieve is to associate each value to correct Page number of the main, top level, report (the page numbers are of crucial importance in this purpose).
The problem is even more complex because of the groupings and linking applied in main report and subreports, so the Page numbers is at the end of the printing kinda changed comparing to design time order.
Can anyone come up with any idea please?
Thank you Siva, your reply led me to another thing to investigate (I'm new to Crystal Reports) - the issue was actually not related to incorrect execution of the formula keeping the page counter, but rather the one more formula I thought was not executing, since I didn't know that if formula is in the section which is suppressed (and hidden) IS STILL EXECUTING. The counter always counted one more page which was sufficient. When I removed that formula that I didn't need - it worked just fine. So, it was my fault :(
In Crystal Reports, is there a way to get both full set charting and subset charting, in the report headers?
I'm working on a report from an erstwhile co-worker and I'm still trying to make things "better".
While I haven't found the solution to accruing time
( see Accruing over time (non-overlapping) - technique? )
I'll press on with how to use the resulting data once I retrieve it.
The report is a Global Availability report for network technologies, and part of the report is graphic:
Chart availability for different
network types for last "n" months'
time.
Charts availability for each region
(for each network type for "n"
months' time).
She (co-worker) had a global chart, but for each region, she did a separate sub-report containing just the chart for that region. The query isn't optimal, and using the sub-reports, the query is repeated each time.
If there a way to use a single data-set in one report for all five charts, forcing the four regional charts to display only that region's data?
Additional info:
The charts are all Bar charts, design is
y-axis: calculated availability
x-axis: Group by network type (Switches, Trunks, "Network)
sub group by month
Bad Example:
Let me see if I understand this. In your Report Header, you have 5 Subreports for the 4 regional graphs and the global graph. And you want to collapse this all into 1 Subreport if possible?
Yes, but you can't do it like in your image where United States & Europe are side-by-side. They would have to be 1 per row. Also, the datasource also has to be formatted correctly. To do this,
Make a new subreport. Group it by the Region.
In this subreport, make your regional graph in the Group Header section.
In this subreport, also make your global graph in the Report Header section.
Insert this subreport into your main report and you should be done.
Sometimes, the only way out of the fire is through it.
After lots of un-satisfactory refactoring, I spoke with the original (years ago) requestor and got some good information. I have yet to speak to the most recent requestor again (who didn't have any knowledge of the technical requirements the last several times).
Spoke w/ the guy who is tending a related db, and I get permission to add come functions, views, store procedures, etc. to THAT db... Within reason and after code/perf review -- something that isn't normally conducted, so I welcome it. I WILL have the ability to do the procedural stuff through... a procedure. Written as a stand-alone, I should be able to re-use it for any of the queries against future needs.
And... Yes, I am pretty much going to have to (read "get to") re-design, and hopefully get rid of most of the sub-reports. Yeay, me.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
