I'm using iReport to try to create a chart for bug tracking. I need a stacked bar chart for the different severities of the open bugs by day and a line showing the total number of bugs by day. It's easy enough to build a multi-axis chart but it always shows up with distinct ranges on the Y axis. I want the Y axis to be the same range so that the total bugs line floats above the stacked open bugs bars. This is simple to do in Excel or Crystal Reports but I cannot see a way to do this in iReport. I need to be able to either merge Y axis in a multi-axis report or be able to change the series type of one of the series from stacked bar to line. Any tips/reading materials would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if it were more automated, but you can use a solution like this pretty easily:
Instead of calculating the Range Axis height automatically, create your own variable to decide an appropriate value for the maximum value. Then you can set the Range Axis Max Value to the same thing for both charts.

Trying to make a cute little dual axis line and bar chart, time is continuous on x axis, value on y axis. For some visual flair (formatting still being worked on) I wanted to make banded columns to show months, which are not calendar months (454 system) and are therefore variable lengths of time.
I got it functionally looking how I wanted to on the worksheet. When dragged to a dashboard, even after a ridiculous amount of resizing, I get these weird lines. When I change the size of it, the lines change places.
Anyone have tips on getting these two graphs to look the same?

I built a gantt waterfall chart in tableau to represent sales difference over time. I want to add columns in the beginning and end, to show the total sales before and after the sales difference occurs.

You could do a dual axis to get this, with the ending total value on the second axis... *might need an LOD calc to exclude the slicing dimension for the bar on the one axis.
Or, you could create two sheets and align them side by side on a dashboard to do this.
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.
Is there a way (or workaround) to conditionally set the max and min values (and perhars even tick intervals) of an axis in a crystal reports chart?
I want to be able to have the same scale on two different line charts where one is peaking about 75' and the other around 110', which makes auto values choose different scales. Setting the values manually means I have to change the values if the numbers undergo larger change at some time, and makes the report less reusable on other differently sized business units.
I've run into the same issues with charts in Crystal Reports. The best I've been able to do is play with the "Number of divisions" option on the Axes tab in Chart Expert. Also, in the "Data Values" section, the Auto Scale checkbox is not checked by default in my version. In Xcelsius (Crystal Dashboards) you can easily set the axis range by cell reference but Crystal Reports doesn't appear to give us that option.
SSRS 2008. Working with 3d Area Chart.
In Excel you can label the X, Y, and the Z Axes, but in SSRS I seem to only be able to label the x and y axes and the Z axis labels seem to be only go in the Legend. I don't want a legend though, I need to have the text describing each color area right next to it.
Thank you very much!
Since charting in SSRS 2008 is an implementation of Dundas I contacted their support department where I was told that the feature I'm looking fro does not exist in either the SSRS embedded version or the box version of their product for that chart type. I contacted other chart vendors and found anothe rbig one that does have the feature I seek, but when I attempted to us it in the demo, the results were illegible with no way to format the labels in such a way that they did not cover each other up. I have not yet found a product (outside of Excel) that is able to clearly display labels on the Depth axis.
