I've cannibalized a chart from another database, hooked it up to my new data source and solved most of my formatting problems except for one, the Y axis of the chart won't display the scale properly. The minimum is set at - 3 and maximum is set at +3, but when the report opens the scale reads from -0.003 to +0.003. I've tried all the number formats I can think of. Currently it is set to General. If I set it to a number with anything less than 3 decimal places it formats as 0 or 0.00.
I have a pivot chart in ms access and i want to have auto-axis for y-scale. I want that when the data will be changed the scale would be automatically arranged.
I have set up a form on which there is a graph which draws data from a query. I have set up a text boxes to take in the Y axis min, max and interval values so the user can customize the graph according tot he range coming out of the query. This all works fine and is perfect, however, i also need a report and set up a report with the same graph which can be printed to pdf, however, i cant get the y-axis to adjust like i do with the one on the form,
I´ve had this problem for a while but it only just recently became very annoying.
I have a chart on a form displaying data over time. I´m using two comboboxes to select start date and end date. There are A LOT of data in the underlying query. However the problem does not seem to be related to that.
When I select the starting date to be before a certain date, the chart suddenly sets its own minimum to 0 so that the line in the chart becomes almost flat (since the data reaches from maybe 20 to mayb 25).
This has to be a common problem, but is there a good solution?
I´ve checked the data so there´s no problem there.
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.
The Total Ongoing Calls The Ongoing Calls in Area 1 The Ongoing Calls in Area 2
Ideally the Total Ongoing Calls should equal the other two but this is never the case due to calls in wrongs areas etc. To display this I have the Total Ongoing Calls shown as an Area Chart on the Primary Axis with the other two figures shown as a Stacked Area Chart on the Secondary Axis.
This way if I manually fix the Primary and Secondary Axis Scale to the same then I can see at a glance the total in both areas and the discrepancy from the Total. Great.
The issue is that the Primary Axis will almost always be slightly higher than the Secondary Axis which means that whenever the Scale changes I would have to manually change the other Axis. Is there any way, programaticallly or otherwise, that I can link the two Axis together so that if one changes up or down the other changes with it.
Thanking everyone I am about to confuse in advance.
I have data in a chart over four groups that are just labeled A, B, C and D in the underlying data. The table wants to label the x-axis of the chart SumOfA, SumOfB, SumOfC, and SumOfD. Ideally I would like to drive these labels by text boxes on a form, but I can't even figure out how to change them manually. I got to the data table in the chart designer and changed them there, and they'd show as changed in design view, but then they weren't changed in report view.
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 have a pivot chart based on a crosstab query. I would like the items on the category axis (x-axis) to appear left to right in the order that they appear in the query results.
Some specifics: Tables: tblFreq FreqID (PK, Number, Range 1-7) Frequency (text)
tblResp RespID (PK,Number, Range 1-5) Response (text)
tblResults ResultID (PK,AN) FreqID_FK RespID_FK
Query: TRANSFORM CInt(Nz(Count(tblResults.ResultID),0)) AS CountOfResultID SELECT tblFreq.Frequency FROM tblResp INNER JOIN (tblFreq INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblFreq.FreqID = tblResults.FreqID_FK) ON tblResp.RespID = tblResults.RespID_FK GROUP BY tblFreq.Frequency, tblFreq.FreqID, tblFreq.FreqID ORDER BY tblFreq.FreqID PIVOT tblResp.Response;
[code]...
Which I suppose is alphabetically ordered.I am unable to use OrderBy in the forms property sheet because tblFreq.FreqID is not an available field, even though it's an expression in the query.
Hi all, apologies for the long post but this is a long nightmare!
Using A2k on Win2k...Due to roll out a DB today, just made my final tweaks and decided to compact/backup as have done many times before. It's not a split DB but it is secure so I copied the mdw onto my desktop and accessed it using a special compact shortcut which points to the desktop copy DB not the one on the network. When I compacted though Access went about it's business for a while and then threw up the dreaded "Network connection may be Lost" error message (roughly translates as "your database is nicely corrupt now") which I have had in the past when I tried to compact on the network. I've never had this error before compacting locally but anyway I tried again and same error message. I tried opening some forms and stuff and sure enought the DB was corrupt. No probs I thought, I can just go back to the original and start the process again. I used the normal shorcut to open the original DB just to check everything was ok and the same error message appeared with same problems. Minor panic ensued and I thought i'd got the shortcuts mixed up or something... I hadn't, Both DB's were affected.
Next option. Create a new DB and import all the objects. I did that and re-set all the permissions and the "Network Connection Lost" message dissapeared but some really strange things were happening. Forms opened but the buttons on them would do nothing. Then the forms Close button didn't work and the database wouldn't close.
I forced my way out of the DB and re-started my machine. Couldn't even log in to windows. Now at another machine and can log in to windows but DB is still having same problems. My instict tells me that the problem is something to do with the workgroup file becuase how else could compacting a copy corrupt the original? The only common link is the mdw.
Should I re-create the mdw and then try opening/importing the DB objects again? Or is there any way I can un-secure the DB and then re-secure it later?
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?
Hello all. My client has decided they like the pivotchart format better than the regular chart format, especially for its dynamic quality ( it can expand and contract with form adjustments.
One chart I am having trouble replicating in pivotchart format is one that plots two data series. One series is made of columns representing large numbers, generally several hundred or thousand, and the other data series needs to be a line which usually ranges between 0-10.
Obviously they cannot be represented on a y-axis with the same scale. This is simple to handle in MS Chart.
Is there a way to make a pivotchart with a dual-scaled y-axis, and map a data series to each one?
I have form with a label and input textbox and a cmmdbutton.In that text box you can fill a number and that number is the scale in minutes.When i click on the cmmdbutton, a table or query shows up with the time and its scale.For example if i put in the form, the number 10 in the textbox and click on the button, A table must show up with the values 00:00, 00:10, 00:20 ,00:30,00:40,00:50,01:00, etc till 23:50.
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.
I have created a db in which the front end has been distributed around the office and opened in runtime. The basic function of the db is to track current projects and contact between ourselves and clients.
When we have update meetings we use the large screen TV to view the db but it only takes up one small corner of the screen and is near on impossible to read.
I would like to know if there is any way that the picture can be stretched to fit the screen that it is being displayed on? Or would I have to create a separate version for the large screen so that people can read?
I have a problem when i create a pivot table . X axis and Y axis is show the number of ID (Primary key value) instead of owner name. How can i change this ? I high light with red rectangle . I want name there , not number ( this number come from table primary key).
Hi all, I want to create a pivotchart from a query, embed it in a form and use a combobox in the main form to allow the user to select the x axis value. So in a query with fields city, state, country, etc the user would be able to chose one of those fields as the category(x axis across the bottom) to display data. Is this even possible? If it is, how do I do it? As it is now I can add multiple categories to my chart- but it just makes a big mess of the chart. I can embed a chart in a form and use a combobox- but it allows me to choose from within a field- but not from among fields. Also- how do I access the code to manipulate the chart? Thanx in advance
I'm trying to build a query that will normalize some graphical data along the x-axis. To do this I need all the peaks to be at the same point. I'll just talk in generic terms of FieldX and FieldY for the X and Y variables (resp)
In my mind the steps require me to 1) Determine FieldX at Max(FieldY) 2) Determine difference between FieldX and arbitrary normalization point (probably 100k) 3) Shift FieldX at all points to put Max(FieldY) over 100k (its a log scale so I'll be dividing)
Steps 2 and 3 are easy, but step 1 is giving me grief.
Ok, so I know how to find Max(FieldY), easy enough. Now how do I find FieldX? My first thought is a complex series of subqueries. At some point in the past, where I was smarter than I am today, I created a query that would do numerical integration. Looking back at the query I can't understand it, but I think the principle will be similar.
Select Year,Type,Count(*) from Table group by Year,Type;
I am running the above query to create a bargraph:
Result of my query: Year Type Count ---- ----- ------ OCt-10 Type1 5 Apr-11 Type 4 4
Expected graph:
Y axis Counts X axis Year and then Type together
Two bars in total : One bar for Oct-2010,Type 1 showing a count of 5 One bar for Apr-2011,Type 4 showing a count of 4
Is it possible to show Year as well as the Type values as labels in X axis in a barchart. I know it can be done with pivot charts but I dont know how to create it as a report with pivot barchart .
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%"
I continually receive a runtime error 1004 " unable to get tick labels property of the axis class"
if I remove this code, then I error on the following code:
Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart If FrmGraphObj.SeriesCollection(2).HasDataLabels Then
also a runtime 1004: "unable to get the seriescollection property of the chart class" on the last line above
searched this forum and found:
If your chart is in a form (or report), you have to:
1) refer to the form (or report) name (Form_Charts)
2) refer to the name of the object frame holding your chart (.Graph1)
3) refer to the object within the frame (.Object)
4) refer to the application that created the object (.Application)
5) refer to the actual chart itself (.Chart)
6) refer to the axes collection and select the axis you want to reference - in this case the category, or X-axis (.Axes(xlCategory))
I made the assumption, that I would just replace xlCategory with xlValue for the Y-axis. So I'm back to:
Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Graph With FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue) .TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%" End With
Same error....
Looked in the Microsoft Graph Visual Basic Reference and it indicated:
"Tick-mark label text for the value axis is calculated based on the MajorUnit, MinimumScale, and MaximumScale properties of the value axis. To change the tick-mark label text for the value axis, you must change the values of these properties."
I reset my code to call these 2 functions prior to changing the number format.....
Public Sub txtMaxPercent_AfterUpdate() Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = txtMaxPercent End Sub Public Sub txtMinPercent_AfterUpdate() Dim FrmGraphObj As Object Set FrmGraphObj = Forms![frmE Weekly Efficiency]![gph_WeeklyEfficiency].Object.Application.Chart FrmGraphObj.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = txtMinPercent End Sub
now I am receiving error 1004 again, this time it states "Unable to set the minimumscale property of the axis class" erroring on this line....
I have a stack bar chart that shows hours an event took including delays so its 3 stacked bars. I want to add a goal or target line to the chart but can't seem to keep the bars stack because I have to change the chart type. Any ideas ??
