I have a grouped bar chart in QlikView - the bars are displayed in different colors. Is it possible display the last bar in a group so that the border of the bar is red, and the middel of the bar is white?
Short answer; you can't do what you want to do.
You can individually set the thickness/presence of the bars but you can not change the colours of those borders. You will also need to set-up an expression for each you can not affect the border thickness based on the dimensions
And you can colour the bars as per the dimension quite effectively, so without bothering about the borders you can make the last bar always red, you just need to know the dimension you are working with
So this:
Will give you this:
Unfortunately not, within the bar chart object bars do not have a border.

I am trying to set the color of an indicator to different colors based on different values, like 1 = red, 2 = blue etc. Using guidance from a Youtube video (accessible using this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czUmPQmKmGU), I have created a Colors[4] control for the indicator I have after changing it to the "write" function.
The Problem on the front panel is that I am getting a control with numbers instead of a color box where I can select the colors to show based on the value. This was the control I got instead.
This is the control I am trying to achieve (below):
Is there any way that I can get the color box on my control instead of the number controls? I am not sure if it can be changed through a control on the front panel or something but what I have tried so far keeps leading me back to this problem.
Any advice is much appreciated
A color box control is just a U32 number (three bytes for RGB and one which is always 0), which is why that's what you get.
There is a right click plugin which adds a replace with color box option directly to the right click menu of unsigned 32 bit numbers, but I don't remember if it ships with LV or not.
If you don't have that, you can always just right click the indicator inside the cluster, select replace and navigate the palettes to find the color box. You can also copy a color box and then select the indicator and paste, which replaces the selected control.
The color[4] is actually an array of 4 colors (UInt32 as Yair said), that define 2 color gradients, one for the 'Off' state, and the other for the 'On' State of the control.
If you want to set the control's color, you will have to define all 4 of them.
I started working with Tableau and want to create a crosstab that displays a measure per customer over the months.
The goal is to Display every value >95 as green, the values from 85-95 as yellow and everything below as red. Is this possible?
Thanks a lot in advance.
So I start with a view of this
Then I create a dummy calculated field which will represent my color scheme
I drag the Value Color Sum to the color, then the numbers will be colored.
To change the color, click on the color button.
To create the "background", I take the "Number of Records" and drag it to Size.
Then I take the measure and change the marks from "Automatic" -> "Bar". I also click on the small white triangle and choose: "Measure" -> "Minimum" to make the bars in the background to fill up the whole cell.
Then I left-click on the size button and drag the slider to the right to make the bar fill the height.
Video of above steps can be found here: How to Conditionally Format Cell Background Color in Tableau
Depending on your data you might need to adjust your measure to make it aggregate, it depends on your data.
For example, my data looks like this:
If I don't aggregate the data the result will be as picture below, since the color will not be applied to the sum of customer A, rather it will be applied to each "row" and therefore the cell will be RED instead of GREEN (See value 110 for January, Customer A).
By aggregating the value I can direct my color scheme to this variable which make the result as I desire.
In this case I used a LOD on customer and Month to create my Sum Value:
{Fixed [Customer], [Month]: SUM([Value])}
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:
In CombinedChart by adding chart.setFitBars(true) will make the first and last bars visible.
I need to do the same for combining LineChart with BarChart.
Now, first and last bars aren't visible completely.
I've tried
xAxis.setAxisMaximum(data.getXMax() + 1f);
to extend X-Axis towards right side so that the last bar will get enough space. This did the trick.
But what should I do for left side bar?
setAxisMinimum doesn't help.
After adding setAxisMaximum :
EDIT
I've referred this but it gives the solution for only BarChart.
Got it.
xAxis.setAxisMinimum(-0.5f);
I guess, Edited X-Axis label will make it look good.

I have a simple requirement wherein I would like to change the color of the bar chart in Pentaho report designer based on the value of y-axis. In case the number is negative, I would like to show it as a red bar, in case the value is positive, I would like to show this as a green bar.
I took a look at the following example but the color changes based on the values proximity to a goal of 1 million. I am pretty new to bean shell scripting and would really appreciate any inputs on the same: http://type-exit.org/adventures-with-open-source-bi/2011/05/dynamic-coloring-of-prd-charts/#downloads
