I have a small application for booking cars into a Garage.
Tbl_Bookings:
Date in: 6.8.2013
Brief: Full Service
Approx. time: 4 hrs
Next car : 6.8.2013
Brief : Brake pads
Approx. time: 2 hrs.
Workshop capacity on any day -16 hrs.
Now my customer would like to look at a pie Chart, per date, showing 16 hrs green and 6 hrs red, so that if he can see at a glance if he still has capacity for more cars on any certain day. I can insert a Chart, but not sure how to make it do what I want.
I'm trying to create a chart in a form, this is not a problem, however, the chart types available are a bit limited compared to if i inserted a Microsoft Excel Chart object.
I'd do that except I'm trying to create a chart based on a query.
Is there a way to make the chart wizard use the Microsoft Excel Chart object as its chart creator so I have access to the chart types available in that object?
I'm a bit stuck on creating a chart in Access 2010. Not sure if I've set my table up right or not
Here's my table design
And the input form
My data is laid out like so
When I insert a chart though, I'm lost. It's like it's totally ignoring my data. The data isn't mine, it says east, north and west like a 'default preview chart'. The row source is
Code: SELECT [student_id],Count(*) AS [Count] FROM [tblProgressLevels] GROUP BY [student_id];
Which means nothing to me I've managed to get most of the other stuff figured out, but these charts are confusing me.
Output??
What I want it to do is show how the student is progressing but I've got it all back to front I think. How could I lay my data out so I have a single English column, a single maths and a single science and they still go up in terms like my form shows; they're all in the same table at the moment laid out the same way as I set up the English tracking.
I also just realised I'm trying to chart alphanumeric values stupid boy... Can Access do a conversion where I make a lookup table so that 1c = 1, 1b = 2, 1a = 3, 2c = 4, 2b = 5 etc. or would a query work?
I have a chart in a form which gets its data from a cross-tab query. The chart was working fine and still is besides the fact the it is skipping the first row of data, or reading/treating it as a header. I had this problem before and the only way i could get around it was to re-create the charts. As there are many charts i want to avoid doing this again and find out why this is happening to prevent it happening again.
I made a form pivot chart. When I open it by going to forms and opening, it opens in the pivot chart view. However, I created a button on a switchboard form for easy access to this pivot chart form and when it opens from the button it is in form view and not pivot chart view. How can I get it to open in pivot chart view from this button so that the users don't have to keep switching it to pivot chart view manually?
I have just tried experimenting with placing a Chart control within a form (Access 2010). Although the chart ultimately seems to work (based on my one simple example), I'm getting an Error 1907 (Could not register font.......) each time I launch the database or reload or edit the form.
This error message is itself contained within a "Configuration Progress" screen for MS Office Prof + 2010 which seems to complete if I select Ignore the error message but runs again each time the database is launched (with the same error message showing up part way through). I am logged on as Administrator.
I have a form with a chart , 2 textboxes for start date and end date and a button to filter the data( filter the data by date range) How do i continue from that? The chart isnt updating.
We have a chart that is showing jobs by customer. I'd prefer it be in a pie chart but it's way too many to read. We changed it to a bar which is much easier to read but it displays the percentages as 100% for everything.
i have two charts in ms access and i want to combine these two charts in one chart. do you know how i can have two y-axis in ms access charts with two fields for data area.
I've developed an Access 2003 database (split) and so far so good. The main thing I'm not happy about is that I can't (or maybe don't know how) to implement a horizontal scroll bar with a line chart. I thought it would be a matter of selecting the option in a Graph but seems not. So I'm left with just selecting Top 50 records and plotting them.How could the MS Access team not know that people would want this or am I missing something? to get a scrollable line chart.
i have a form which displays 2 charts, i am able to export them to word document but i donot know how to paste them one after the other. currently they get printed one over the other.
here is the code :
Code:
Private Sub cmd_Print_Click() Dim MyChartObj As Object Dim MyLineObj As Object Set MyChartObj = [Forms]![MainForm]![Sub_DisplayFm]![Graph_Chart] Set MyLineObj = [Forms]![MainForm]![Sub_DisplayFm]![Graph_Line] MyChartObj.SetFocus DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
I have a pivot chart that has site locations, and hours on the bottom, and then count of records with each site. Which is how many people used this site during this time for each bar. My problem is when I generate my pivot chart, every single time I have to fix the scale on the right hand side because it has decimal points in it. They only appear when I add dates/times to it.I want to give this to my boss that has access runtime, so all he has to do is click the button to get the chart and then print or send it off. How do I get rid of those decimal points when the report is generated?
I have a chart I am trying to create that pulls data from a table. It pulls from a list of about 7 items. The issue I have is when I do this it is showing the ID numbers in the legend and not the actual names>
I have a number of charts that correspond to form fields. Once the fields are filled out and the form is saved I want the data automatically to update in the chart. I tried inserting a button to allow the user to manually do it, but it says that it is unavailable. The charts update when i click refresh, however I dont want the user to have to do this.
I am using a one column chart on a form (unbound object) which references a query that sums a field in my table that tracks monetary amounts. As I enter records and go to the next record the chart does not update. It only updates when I close and then open the form. Has anyone had experience using this type of chart on a form and had it update after each record was entered?
i have about 1500 records in my database and i want to display a bar chart for each record, i can tryed creating one but when i try adding the months it says i only can add 6 fields but i want to include each month not just 6 months in the chart, this is an on going database so in the future there will be more months added. here is the picture of the form i want to be able to show 2005 and 2006 figues in the same chart
I have a status form which I use to show users the progress of various routines as they are performed. It's pretty basic; just a textbox and a couple of coloured labels; one for the outline ('things to be done') and one for the progress so far ('things done').
I have a function which I call periodically during the runtime of the routine which passes as arguments the text to display in the textbox (i.e. a description of which 'thing' is being worked on at that time) and two long integers representing what is 'done' and what is 'to be done' (i.e. 3 'things' done out of a total of 7)
So if I can divide a function into 7 distinguishable 'parts', I would call that function 7 times during the life of the overall process to show the updated status each time.
The function redraws the labels (i.e. sets the width of the 'done' label as a proportion of the width of the 'to be done' label, based on the ratio of the two arguments) and repaints the form. So you get a nice animated progress bar which can be easily controlled by calling the same function and just incrementing the 'done' argument each time.
Now - and admittedly this is purely aesthetic and for my own curiosity rather than anything fundamental - I was wondering if it were possible to represent this progress as a 3D pie chart rather than a horizontal bar (label)?
For no other reason than I think it would look really tidy.
I know it's possible to add a chart object to a form but the chart wizard insists I link the chart to a table or query. In this instance, I don't want to do that; I merely want to draw a very basic pie chart based on the two values passed as arguments to the status function.
I have inserted a bar chart onto a form using a totals query. The query is grouped by days on stock, eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc. which is therefore the labels on the x-axis.
The chart displays the correct data, however, the chart automatically displays the categories on the x-axis in alphabetical order... '0-30', '120-180', '30-60' etc.. Is there anyway to adjust this order to be eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc?
I am using Access 2007 with Windows XP. I have a scatter chart embedded in a form that is plotting data from a subform with a trendline that is extracted and used on the form for calculations. After having the table set up correctly and running fine, I closed the database and then reopened it to have the table plotting the data in a made up 1 to 1 relationship rather than what is in the datasheet. The only way I have been able to fix this error is to change the chart type to something else then back to a scatter plot and remake the trendline. Why this is happening and how to prevent it?
I have a pivotchart subform who's Filter Property I've set to:
Code: [EEIC_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[EEICBuffer],0) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer]="",[AG_TYPE_ID] Like "*",[AG_TYPE_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[TypeIDBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer]="",[AGENCY_ID] Like "*",[AGENCY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[AgencyBuffer],"")) And IIf([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer]="",[FACILITY_ID] Like "*",[FACILITY_ID] In ([Forms]![MainDataControl].[FacilityBuffer],""))
The issue is that none of the parameters are recognizing the textbox controls even though the references appear to be correct. Per access.mvps.org/ access/forms/frm0031.htm, I've attempted several versions of the syntax.
I believe that I've done this successfully in several other forms, though none have been been via a pivotchart. What's more, this exact same filter string worked when the pivotchart was its own popup and the referenced form was a separate window. Once I embedded it (being the pivotchart) as a subform, however, I began to be presented with the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog, even though the control's address had not changed. Note: the form with the embedded pivotchart is separate from the control's parent form.
In essence: the filter property of a pivotchart subform has a parameter that references a control on a seperate popup form, and every one of the syntactual statements I've tried returns an "Enter Parameter Value" dialog (where they did not when the pivotchart was not a subform). I've also attempted to isolate this issue by putting the text box controls on the parent form (rather than the separate popup form) and referencing them via the pivotchart subform, but this provided no resolution (the same thing happened).
I am trying to change dynamically the text of the PivotChart, according to the current filter. This is a user request. The VBA code should run whenever the view is changed to pivotchart. I'm im Access 2007
This is my code so far:
Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object) If Not (Me.CurrentView = acCurViewPivotChart) Then Exit Sub Me.ChartSpace.HasChartSpaceTitle = True Me.ChartSpace.ChartSpaceTitle.Caption = Me.Filter End Sub
This generates an error: Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Cannot change chart attributes in an event handler
I am stuck. Is there any way around? I have placed a button to the datasheet view of the form to take users to PivotChart view. I can change the chart title from the code of that button. But I can't prevent users from using the built in ribbon button for pivotchart view, so I need to run this code from an event.
I'm having problems relating a pivotchart with search criteria automatically after the search - all on the same form. This will be a nifty trick if it is possible, and I can imagine other uses for a form like this.
Without being overly wordy, I attach a mdb in hopes that someone with a bit more skill than I will take an interest and set me on the right track.
