We are missing data for some months. If no lines have the month then it just doesn't show up. If one line has it but another doesn't then it seems to sort that month before all the others which looks strange. So we've added in place holder data with a value of zero for missing months but we'd prefer it not actually plot those points.
Ideally, we'd like for all 12 months to show up in the x axis but if a data point is missing (or zero; whatever would make this easier) then we don't want that point to be plotted.
Is dimple able to do this natively, or would I need to manually remove the point with javascript after the chart has been drawn? And if the latter is the case, any pointers to get me started on how to do that would be appreciated.

I am looking for a way to do a year-over-year line chart for comparing values at the same time frame (day/week/month) compared to the previous year. When looking for examples I am seeing a lot of line charts with an x-axis with values looking like "MM YYYY". What I am trying to do is to create a chart with an x-axis with values looking like "MM" and then different colored lines representing those values at a different year. Below is an example from Tableau...I am wondering if I can create something like this in Quicksight
YoY Tableau
Of course, you can.
Pick a line chart on the visualize panel and
on the fields well add the year in the color
The result will be something like this

Was able to get the YoY plot by adding calculated fields for Month=substring(toString(),6,2)
Year=substring(toString(),0,5)

There is a hack suggested to the X-Axis in DateFormat rather than the integer month. Please refer

I am trying to create multi-line subplots such that each subplot represents a rating factor on which firms are rated, and each line represents a firm's change in rating over time. Note that I don't have the date field. I have a string field that says which quarter of the year the Mean of ratings belong to.
I'm new to tableau and I created something like this:
I want to create multiple subplots: one subplot for each of the 8 rating features in the above diagram, and the subplot has multiple lines representing the variation over time for each company. I have 10 companies.
Please guide me on how to achieve this?
A rough sketch of how I Imagine the plot to look like is below:
This will teach you how to make a panel chart in Tableau: https://tarsolutions.co.uk/blog/build-a-dynamic-panel-chart-in-tableau/
It shouldn't to too complex for what you're attempting (fingers crossed!).
Building the panel chart is a little tricky in Tableau. Not terribly hard once you understand table calcs. I suggest starting simpler by moving Measure Names from the Rows shelf to the Pages shelf, then creating the line charts you want - 1 per page. Then learn about table calc partitions and addressing, including “At the Level” to have the info needed to define the panels
To make a colored line chart,
You need one field on columns that you set to display as continuous, making it green. If it is a date field, right click on the field and choose from the second set of groups, like month or quarter.
You need a continuous field on the Rows shelf, use Measure Values in your case
Use a discrete field on color to determine the number of lines, say Shortname
Set the Mark Type to either Automatic or line
We've setup a new Splunk dashboard and I'm looking to improve the trend graphs/panels.
We now have three panels each telling us something about a specific type of event. These panels are shown in the screenshot below:
Top to bottom,
the first shows the number of events in the current rolling period (of 30 days).
The second shows a trend graph of the number of events every day over the past 3 months.
The third and last shows the number of events in this year to the current data (YTD).
I'd like to clean this up and combine it into one panel. Ideally it would look something like:
I've been messing with CSS files, but that is not a sustainable solution.
Also I've found the Splunk documentation on how to Generate a single value. This give me part of what I'm looking for. But this lacks the Year to Data value and I need the trend line to be more prominent.
Any suggestions to how to make this work?
You want to create a custom visualization of a numeric value. I would suggest you start by looking into existing numeric value visualizations from Splunkbase, then customize the visualization code (html/css/js) to do what you need it to.
From a quick view I just had, there is Number Display Viz which also has source code available under the GPL on github: https://github.com/ChrisYounger/number_display_viz
To show all three datapoints on a single panel, you can either tweak the html to retrieve data from three different searches, or use sub-searches to provide all data as a single result.
Consider putting all three visualizations in a single panel. You'll need to edit the dashboard's source to do that, but it's very simple. Just remove the </panel></row><row><panel> tags between the visualizations.
A simpler option would be to move the three panels onto the same row so they're next to each other.
I have a report in SSRS report builder 2008 that has a chart that is a definitive size. I would like to make the matrix table fit neatly under the report as it would in excel. However it expands way past the report. I have tried turning can grow can shrink to false did not work. I have tried putting a rectangle and placing the matrix in there with no success. I tried setting the size in the tablix properties but it extends or shrinks below based on the data in the tablix. The tablix is just 6 lines the top line is a expression for the date and then there is previous year previous cumulative current yeat and current year cumulative and receipts %to last year. i have included the expresssions I used in the tablix not that I think it is causing the issue Any help will be greatly appreciated

Sorry I didn't follow up your comment earlier, it's been busy here...
There is a sledgehammer approach to this that will work, not sure if there is a more elegant way but here goes.
Fist some basics...
Determine how wide your matrix needs to be, let's say 25cm
Let's assume you have a couple of columns on the left that are both fixed at 2cm each. That gives us 21cm to put our varying columns in.
For now assume we only have 28 days, so we need to set the column width of the column group to 0.75cm (21/28).
Test and make sure everything looks OK.
Now here's comes that sledgehammer!
Make another 3 copies of your matrix and adjust the column widths for the next three number of days (so 29,30 & 31).
Now set the visibility of the of each matrix so that it only shows when the related number of days are returned in the dataset.
I don't know what your dataset looks like so I can't give much advice on determining the number of days returned but I often create another dataset that gets the value, in your case something like
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT MyDateColum) as DateCount FROM MyDates
Or I guess you could probably base visibility on the month and whether its a leap year or not.
Hope that helps, if any of it is unclear let me know and I'll try to get back a little quicker this time.
I have a project that im working on at the moment in VB.
Basically I have a Data Table in VB it populates with 4 columns and a variable number of rows, the column names are as follows;
Gear, RPM, Speed, CO2
The data table appears in datagridview correctly but that's as far as I have gotten :/
What I am trying to do is to make a line chart called mainGraph to draw a graph based on these results, I'm getting stuck when trying to populate the chart.
ANY thoughts would be really appreciated.
I am guessing you are using the ms chart controls and not some 3rd party like Telerik.
This should be usefull http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexgor/archive/2009/02/21/data-binding-ms-chart-control.aspx
Also, there is source code found at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4418
in short this is a way to get things displayed
mainGraph.Series(0).ChartType = DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Line
mainGraph.Series(0).Points.DataBind(yourDataTable.DefaultView, "Speed", yourDataTable.DefaultView, "Gear")
These commands should make a line graph with Speed on your x axis, and Gear on your Y. Assigned to "Series(0)"
To add more columns, you need to add more "Series"
mainGraph.Series.Add("RPM")
Do some thinking about how you want this data displayed.
how would you like to set this graph up?
I'm assuming you would want a line graph?
What is going to be the X axis? Is there a missing column that needs to be "time" in the data table?
do you want them all on one graph/chart area?
If you would like more charts, then you need to add chart areas. A series can be assigned to a chart area.
Hopefully this helps.
