I built a chart and it turned out chaotic because it had too many series in the legend. Therefore, I want to use the tooltips to show the series title, so that it looks tidy. But I am not sure what is the best way to achieve that.
The goal is that when you hover over a color band on the bar chart the correct title shows up. Below is an example of what it currently looks like, with too many series in the legend.
You can turn on tooltips using the miscellaneous tab of your chart menu. Then, input the value of {{w_chart.hover.series}}.

I have been trying for the last 2.5 hours to figure this out. I have managed to create a custom navigation bar with three links for my ShinyApp. My ShinyApp consists of 3 charts: a bubble chart, a timeline chart, and a histogram, and I want each respective link in the navigation bar to go to a page containing the appropriate chart. I know about the Navbar function in shiny, but it does not look quite the way I want. Here is mine:
tags$ul(class="main-nav",
list(
tags$li(class="active", tags$a(href="link-to-timeline-chart","Timeline Chart")),
tags$li(tags$a(href="link-to-bubble-chart","Bubble Chart")),
tags$li(tags$a(href="link-to-histogram","Histogram"))
))
I have even considered the option to plot them all in a single page and use the anchor tag to link to the specific part of the page containing the appropriate chart, but that would be compromising too much on my design. I really just want to have separate links for them; each in it's own page.
I have a pie chart and I don't want to display percentages, but the whole number value from the source.
I want the chart to display the actual numbers, and not a percentage, how can I do this?
This is quite easy to achieve, just follow these simple steps:
On the design surface, right-click on the pie and select Show Data
Labels. The data labels should appear within each slice on the pie
chart.
On the design surface, right-click on the labels and select Series
Label Properties. The Series Label Properties dialog box appears.
In the Series Label Properties, in the General tab. You must enter the Label data you wish to be displayed. This can be done by
clicking the Expression button (fx) and defining
which column's data you wish to display.
For example: =Sum(Fields!MyColumn.Value)
If you have any trouble, feel free to respond and perhaps add some more information about your DataSource.
can horizontal striplines on a column chart render on top of the data? My chart is rendering like this;
but I want the stripLine to be visible over the top of the data columns not below it. I am able to put the dataPoint text that you can see on top, even though i'd rather it be able to render to the right of the bar, but that doesn't seem to be possible either. any help would be great. Seems like some of these things would be pretty straight forward functionality for such a dynamic report builder but im also a layman.
Striplines are always in the background.
I would add a new Series to the Chart, and change the Chart Type to Line. For the value I would point at a Goal column in the datasource. If none is available you can use an expression or hard-code the value.
The sequence of the series controls which is infront of the other. You can drag the series around to reorder them.
My suggestion would be to increase the transparency of the color of the columns. click on chart, click on custom palette color in Properties on the right hand-side and specify level of transparency in the color's options.
P.S. I had the same issue and that's how I solved it.
Contrary to what I am reading here, it is possible to have the stripe lines on the front as well. However, you will need to create another Series specify the top and bottom value dynamically, and adjust the PointWidth to lets say 0.8 or something along those lines.
Alternatively, you can add in a bar graph with a line graph, that should do it as well.
I have tried searching for this but I do not know the name of the control or UI so I am not having any luck. I'd like to know if there is a name for this UI and if you know of a good link to sample html that would be ideal.
It will be used inside of a jQuery UI dialog box as well as on a standard page within a web app.
Thanks!
You need to use a two-sided multi-select list...
The jQuery two-sided multi-select list converts a normal drop down list into the mock-up you've posted and automatically moves selected items over to the right-hand list as well as adding buttons for movement (plus you can double-click items to move them back and forth).
In an auto-generated chart based on a query (I dragged the chart object onto a blank form to start it), the chart itself is displaying and updating properly, datawise, but I want to change the Legend from reading "SumOfAvgOfield1" and "SumOfAvgOfield2" to regular words suitable for final presentations. But I can't find a way to change it!
I realize this is a late answer, but I was just having a similar issue and figured someone else might benefit from knowing how to get rid of the 'SumOf' labels.
In design view, right click on the chart and select 'Properties'.
Choose the Data tab.
The 'Row Source' field is the one you're going to be interested.
In there you can see various places where it's labeling your data:
Sum() AS [SumOfData]
Just edit the text right in the properties window and you'll be set.
This is WAY late, but here's what I found (Yes we still use office 2007)
Open the form in PivotTable View. Open Property Sheet. Highlight the column you want to change the Legend Caption for. Choose the Captions Tab in the properties window. There you can change the captions for each column.
Had 4 charts on a form. 3 would let me edit the Heading of the Chart, the 4th would not. Read a lot of posts that did not pertain. Noticed the datasheet for the 4th chart was completely empty.
SOLUTION: Clicked on chart until the datasheet appeared. Added mock field headings and mock data to datasheet. I could then click on chart and edit the chart's Heading. You can also highlight and change the color of selected words in the chart's Heading. Very Nice!
Good luck,
Vancer
The SumofAverageOfFiled1, etc is automatically generated. Even if you edit it in the datasheet, it changes back (or at least that is my experience). What I did to get around this is add a Rectangle and fill it with white and size it to cover up the "Sumof" captions. You can Bring to Front the Rectangle. Then you can add text boxes to label the chart's bars to read the way you want them. Drag them over the Rectange and Bring to Front.
Hope this helps.
Everywhere I looked it said just change the Pivot Table to change the Legend Entry.
Well, let me tell you.
First, if you have no Pivot Table that you can see do the following:
go to design view and select the form
right click and hit Properties. Scroll through till you see AllowPivotTableView and select yes.
Now you can go and change the column headers!
This could help
Select xxxxx, yyyyy from zzzz
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(0).DisplayName = ![XXXXX]
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(1).DisplayName = ![YYYYY]
Was very difficult to me to find a way to do it.
