In Spotfire:
In a BarChart is it possible to add small target lines for each bar?
A way around I have done is that I converted it to combination chart and the added a line to show the target points for each bar.
But the problem comes if my Bar chart is stacked by some column. In combination chart we have only "series by" and not color by. i.e. I cant combine a line chart and stacked bar chart.

I have done this by putting the Category axis column in the Trellis Column axis instead. Then remove the column from the Category axis, so you get one bar for each trellis panel.
Now you can add "Horizontal line from data table" and set it to "One per: trellis panel".

I have made a bar chart using the count of genders & age groups of a dataset. It came as a normal bar chart.
But, I want to flip the chart horizontally. Simply, I want the Y Column on the Right side of the chart, not on the Left side (The traditional way).
N.B.: I don't want to swap the axis i.e. interchanging x and y axis.
I have created this: Created chart
But, I want to create like this:
Desired chart
A very easy thing to try is to edit the axis (by right clicking on the axis and choosing edit, or by just double clicking on the axis. Then you can check the reverse axis option and see if that satisfies you.
The axis will be reversed as you requested but the labels will still be on the left.
Putting the bar labels on the right requires more effort. One way is to make a separate chart that just lists the labels and then combine both on a dashboard
I've got a chart in SSRS where I have both line and column values.
Is there any way the line can extend out to the extreme left and right of the corresponding column for the month?
The Green line is the target and the orange columns are the Utilisation figures for the months
I've tried Strip Lines but creating the IIF expressions to capture the filtering is too much pain and you can't get varying results by Month.
You could try to stick your line on the secondary X axis and then play with the settings of that axis. Once you get the settings like you want them you can hide the secondary X axis from the chart area.
enter image description hereI want to create a stack bar chart in spotfire with only 1 column of data.
So column name is WORK DONE and the values are YES -10, NO-5, NA - 2
I want to create a stack bar chart in which there will be just one bar colored by different values (yes, no, NA)
But when i am creating the same , i get 3 separate bars ; one for yes, no and NA each.
Is it possible to create such stack bar in spotfire. Please help me in the same.
Thanks in advance.
If not bar chart then maybe some other chart in which i will get a stacked bar?

Go to the 'Appearance' tab of the barchart properties and select 'Stacked bars' under the Layout.
When basing your stacked bar on only one column, clear the 'Columns' field under the 'X-axis' tab. In this case you do not want anything to be depicted in at the X-axis, only one stacked bar with the different values.
Please read this page for more information about stacked bars in Spotfire.
On this page you can find more information about the options on bar charts.
I want to show in one chart report two series of data, one as a horizontal bar and one as a line. When I select for the second series a line chart type, it changes also the chart type for the first series which was set to bars.
This works if I'm using vertical columns for the first series, but it seems it is not working the same with horizontal bars.
Is there any way around this?
No. You cannot create a chart with horizontal bars and lines.
SSRS doesnt allow it.
It is not logical to join two concepts which is transpose of each
other. It is like showing vertical bar chart and horizontal bar chart
in the same graph.
Line charts are used to show overall trends and
patterns over time(usually) or some other series. Bar charts are good
for comparing unordered/nominal items.
You need to reevaluate your decision to show these two together.
I am using SQL Server 2012. SSRS
I have a stacked bar charts that includes interest and dividends. I would like to add the sum of these values to the area just above the stacked bar chart. I have tried adjusting various properties for the labels but I can't get the label position to be anywhere but the middle of the stacked bar chart. Any ideas how to get these labels to be just above the stacked bar charts?
I tried the solutions mentioned here and found them cumbersome compared to this gem: http://peltiertech.com/label-totals-on-stacked-charts/
Add a "total" to your dataset (in my case, a percentage)
Add the total series to your stacked bar chart
Change the total series chart type to a line
Hide the line and line markers by setting their fill color to none
Set the Total series to not show in the legend
Set the data point position for your total series to "Top"
Here is my result:
There is not a way to do this with settings.
Here are a couple of links that give you step by step instructions:
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/65/posts/11575/display-total-on-top-of-stacked-chart.aspx

Basically, the workaround is to create another series or category in your chart that is the totals (which requires updating your dataset to include the totals), make it transparent, and turn data labels on. The MSDN answer says to make it a line chart while the Beyond Relational article leaves it as part of the stacked bar. Either way will work.
