I have a column chart with 2 measures on y-axis.
The values display numbers in decimal format. My question is - how can I configure the chart, so it displays the numbers in integer format.
(I am using WebIntelligence, BusinessObjects 4.0)
edit: The chart in question is mixed chart (column and line chart).
There are 3 measures - 2 are displayed as columns, one as line.
Every measure has on top the corresponding value.
Edit: I managed to transform decimals into integers. However, now one of my columns turned into line, and I can't find how to undo that. So the question is - where can I edit (in mixed chart) which measures should be represented as columns and which as lines?
If you go to the chart's formatting options (right-click > Format Chart), go to the Global settings and then Measure Properties. It should be third from the top (General, Area Display, Measure Properties...). From there you can change the display type of the measures in your chart (Bars, Lines, Surfaces).

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
I have tried changing the year ranges to a numeric type to get a visualization of how many years in business into a pie chart so that there is a slice for each range. I have tried using count as well but get error message. help pls
Try just selecting the field 'Years in business' and count(table name) together and click on pie chart option on show_me (ctrl +1) tab.
You pie will be built automatically.
If you desire to divide the pie slices according to some other measure select that instead of count(table) alongwith years in business while clicking pie chart option on show me.
Adding on my previous question here: TimeSeries question
I would like to plot a unit capacity chart over a Time series (which contains a range of dates set by the user).
The chart I am trying to plot is as follows:
For each Unit Name, I have start and end date for the unit capacities, as shown in the PowerBI table as below:
4 sub questions:
How to plot these capacities over time? Maybe using some DAX functions?
Do i need the SSAS cube to solve this problem or can I do all the work inside PowerBI desktop? If not, is there a better way for example in SSRS?
Is there a way to make the x-axis time series dynamic as specified by the user?
Adding to this, after Leonard's response. After converting the OutageStartDateOrig, and OutageEndDateOrig values I tried to create the calculated column as suggested in the youtube link {enter link description here}. However, the DAX formula as shown in the video gives out a syntax error for me stating that the '.' is incorrect when specifying the range of dates. Any ideas for this? [Screenshot below]:
To create such a visual, I'd recommend an area chart (or stacked area chart) with the date on the axis, the unit name on the legend, and the capacity on the values. You could also do it as a stacked column chart too. However, then each date will be broken into discrete columns. See below image.
In terms of data manipulation, you'll need to convert the data with the date ranges you have above into a row for each individual date & unit. E.g. the first row, instead of being 11/2 to 13/2, would be expanded into 3 rows, one for each date.
You can do this in Power Query as you bring the data into Power BI Desktop, or in DAX after bringing it in. There are several solutions to this outlined in this thread (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Convert-date-ranges-into-list-of-dates/td-p/129418), but personally, I recommend the technique (and video) posted by MarcelBeug (https://youtu.be/QSXzhb-EwHM).
You'll also want an independent list of dates (with no gaps) to join the final date column to - otherwise your visual will skip dates when no units had capacity. By default, the chart will begin on the first date with data and end on the last date with data, so in that sense it is dynamic, but you can add a date slicer to give the end-user more control.

I have a chart in excel that desplays number values and line graph in percentage.
Any idea on how I can display the percentage in SSRS.
Please note I can do it individualy in two separate report in ssrs but I want to combine the two. Please see attached image
the bar chart are in Values while the line graph is in percentage
Many thanks
To plot a series against a secondary axis, as in your Excel example above follow the instructions from MSDN regarding secondary axes.
To plot a series on the secondary axis
Right-click the series in the chart or right-click on a field in the Values area that you want to display on the secondary axis and click Series Properties. The Series Properties dialog box appears.
Click Axes and Chart Area, and select which of the secondary axes you want to enable, the value axis or the category axis.
Hopefully this is what you require. Please let me know if your require further assistance
I have 5 columns.
SAMPLE HIGH MEDIUM LOW TOTAL
A________________5______________4______________7_____16
B________________5______________4______________7_____16
C________________5______________4______________7_____16
D________________5______________4______________7_____16
I want to be able to calculate for each sample the percentage of High Medium Low.
High/ total = new value
medium/total = new value
low/total=new value
How do I do this in Tableau?
You can read here for more details, but the general way is to right click on the Dimensions or Measures small window and then click on Create Calculated Field.
When the windows opens, in your case, you'll want to create a new name for the 'New Value', and then for the Formula section you should put:
[HIGH]/[TOTAL]
Just make sure that these are recognized as floats or integers (and not strings). If you select the variables in the Fields section, you are more likely to get exactly what you want. Also, there is a preview on the right of the data type.
