In BlueSky Statistics, how can I control the number of decimal places used to display the results of the analysis? It's showing four value after the decimal place and I would like it to round off after two.
You can change the number of decimal places displayed by clicking on the top level menu item "Tools" and selecting "Tools> Configuration settings", then navigate to the "Others" tab and you will see the option to change the number of decimal digits. The default is 4.

I am new to Tableau, but am working to learn how to use it for dashboards. I have created a stacked area chart containing both durable goods and non-durable goods across time. Currently I can't fix the tooltip from showing both values of a date, it will only give the value for the item I am hovering over. How can I edit the tooltip to show both at once? I have attached a screenshot below:
Tableau chart
If you want to show more than just the default measure in a tooltip, make your stacked chart then drag the measures you want to see into the "Tooltip" box on the Marks card. They should show up just below that box. Then click the "tooltip" box and set up your lable text. In your case:
Month of Date:
Durable Goods:
Non-Durable Goods:
Then in turn click to the right of each label, select the INSERT option at the upper right of the tooltip-editing-window, and select the relevant item, and it should then appear in place surrounded by "< >" brackets.
So you would end up with a tooltip looking something like this
Month of Date: <Month(Date)>
Durable Goods: <SUM(Durable Goods>
Non-Durable Goods: <SUM(Non-Durable Goods)>
You can click PREVIEW to confirm that much works. Exit the editor.
Then create your computed fields, say "DG%" and "NDG%".
Probaby something like DG% = FLOOR ( 100 * SUM([Durable Goods]) / (SUM([Durable-goods]) + SUM ([NonDurable-Goods]) )
Maybe you should use ROUND instead of FLOOR because FLOOR isn't defined for some data sources but I think ROUND is always defined.
Drag each of THOSE onto the ToolTip little box in the Marks Card.
As you do that they should show up in the Marks Card as "AGG(DG%), etc.
Then double-click the tooltip box to pop up the tooltip editor, and they should show up when you click INSERT and you can insert them in the tooltip and possibly surround them with "(" and "%)"
Voila.

I would like to ensure the labels of my bar chart are above the bars. Can you force a label on top of a bar chart in SQL Server Reporting Services? If so, how?
The issues are the colors are so dark, it's hard to read them if they are not above the bar in the chart. I could just change the colors, but I'd rather learn how to force the label location if possible.
I'd like all numbers to be above the bar, like over the blue bar below. I have over 100 different charts in my report, so the scale will vary greatly depending on the particular report.
Thank you!
In Visual Studio, design mode, ensure that the properties window is visible, then click on any of the labels on the chart.
At this point, the properties window should show the properties for Chart Series Label.
Find the 'Position' property, which probably is showing the value 'Auto', change this value to 'Top' and this should do the trick.
You have to first make sure the chart type is not stacked.
In my experience the "Position" property doesn't always work.
Sometimes you have to go to the properties of the series, then "Custom Attributes", then "Label Style" then select "Top".
What #niktrs said in the comments of the other answer about setting the AllowOutsidePlotArea property is also true.
Microsoft do not use the label Position property for some of the chart types.
They tell us what they use by default here - in your case "on bar charts labels are placed outside of the bars that represent data points" (they appear to mean "column charts")...but sometimes with a large value it's placed just inside, sometimes partially in-out (and if you try the "Outside" position it just fails to render!).
As #jayvee has mentioned the trick with Column charts is to select the value and change the SmartLabels AllowOutSidePlotArea to True (from Partial).
However if you have a Stacked Bar chart then labels are always in the centre of the particular value.
The hack to get labels on top is to add an extra Stacked Bar value with the Color set to "No Color" and move it to the top of the values (using the Chart Data designer arrows).
The trick is getting a good expression value to use - a constant ends up too big or too small at some point, so I found a percentage of the stacked values works best (remembering to change Nulls to Zeros)...25% to 30% usually works.
Then set the value Label to the value you want to display in the data label.
I just had this issue, I was able to fix it by making sure the chart series "Smart Labels" - "Disabled" property was set to "True"
This is what my properties pane looks like:
I have an expression Sum of Cycle Times in a bar chart. I want to display the equation used to calculate the value of the expression when I hover over the bar in the chart. Right now, the pop-up box displays the dimension value and the expression value. Can I edit what is displayed in the pop-up?
You can create a new expression with your expression formula in quotes and set it to 'Text as Pop-up'. This is a common practice in Qlikview charts as a means to get custom pop-up text. It's still not a perfect solution, but it will take care of your problem.
I'd like to use increment/decrement buttons in numeric control field to quickly span wide range of values. In order to do this I would like increment/decrement buttons to work as multiply/divide by constant.
One example would be to choose resistor values. In order to choose values in E12 series one would start with 1 and multiply it over and over by 10^(1/12). 12 being how many values per decade you need.
Is there a way to change the function of up/down buttons or do I need to write my own control?
Keeping it simple, just have the numeric control as an integer (say N), and wire up 10^(N/12).
You can do this by listening to "Value changed" event, that detects if increment or decrement was used, and force the appropriate value:
LabVIEW 2010 example VI
If you want the user to choose from a fixed list of values like the E12 resistor series, consider using a ring or enum instead of a numeric control (the list in a ring can be changed at runtime, the list in an enum cannot). Use the value of the ring or enum to look up the numeric value from an array.
If you want the user to be able to type an arbitrary value in the numeric control but also use increment/decrement buttons to scale the value upwards or downwards, you could use a numeric control whose increment/decrement buttons are visible but hide the numeric entry field behind a second numeric control with no buttons. Use the Value Changed event for the hidden control as shown in CharlesB's answer to update the value in the visible control when the user increments or decrements the hidden control.
The pie chart is driving me nuts...Excuse me if I sound ignorant but I have figured out the other RS charts with relative ease, and this is the first time I have had to use the Reporting Services pie chart.
I have a dataset:
Columns:
ChildId int
AssessmentType varchar
Score int
All I want is to have a pie chart that displays the percent of the whole for each assessment type. So if I had 10 records returned with the following:
2 "THIS" Assessment Types
5 "THAT" Assessment Types
3 "THEOTHER" Assessment Types
I would want the pie chart to show that the "THIS" Assessment peice of the pie is 20%, the "THAT" is 50%, "THEOTHER" as 30%, but I cannot figure out how to set it up. Can any one help me out on this, or refer me somewhere. I have been looking for some time and can't find any pages that have helped me with this control.
I figured this out...To show the percentage:
Right click on the chart and click on properties.
Go the the Data table, select your "[Value]" and click edit.
Go to the Point Labels tab and check "Show point labels".
In the format code enter P
Edit the expression and calculate your percentage. In my example I would use the code below.
=Count(Fields!ChildId.Value) / Count(Fields!Childid.Value, "MyDataset")
The problem I was having is that I was filtering the data set at the chart level with a filter expression. So when I was trying to calculate the percentage using the code below my numbers were getting thrown off. The filter is not applied the dataset count when retrieved like I was doing it.
Count(Fields!Childid.Value, "MyDataset")
