Hi,
I am working in line graph. I need to show the graph with amount spent on different categories based on month of a year. I need to show the month in x axis as
J06 for january 2006, F06 for feburary and so on
Using decode i am able to get J from january and F from February.But when i am showing in the x-axis, it shows only 8 months, since J repeats for Jan,Jun,July.Same with A (august and april).How to handle this in graph. Anybody come across same issue or any previous postings in forum

Have you tried playing with the display formats of dates to give a shortened version or are you locked in to three character?

Hi,
Got one solution. But now i am facing issue because of sorting.I am trying to implement the custom sorting.Tried using "COLUMNS".
  Across DATES6 AS ''
COLUMNS &VAR1 AND &VAR2 AND ..... AND &VAR12

where &VAR is a dialougue manager value. When i ran this it gives EDA crash error.I also tried
&VAR1.EVAL, but still it gives EDA crash error. Any idea how to solve this. meanwhile the solution i found is here. it works fine for me.
DATES1/MtY=IN_DT1;
DATES2/I4MY=DATES1;
DATES3/A10=EDIT(DATES2);
DATES4/A10=SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 1, 2, 2, DATES4);
DATES5/A10=SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4);
DATES6/A20V=IF ( DATES4 EQ '01') THEN ('J'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '02') THEN ('F'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4)))ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '03') THEN (' M'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '04') THEN ('A'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4)))ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '05') THEN ('M'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '06') THEN ('J'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))|'')
ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '07') THEN (' J'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '08') THEN (' A'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4)))ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '09') THEN ('S'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '10') THEN ('O'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4)))ELSE IF ( DATES4 EQ '11') THEN ('N'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4))) ELSE ('D'|(SUBSTR(4, DATES3, 3, 4, 2, DATES4)));

Take a look at this example, it was used for an fiscale year graph but works also for a normal year.


-* File fiscyear.fex
-SET &FSTART1 = '891001';
-SET &FSTART2 = '901001';
-SET &FSTART3 = '911001';
-SET &F1=EDIT('&FSTART1.EVAL','99/99');
-SET &F2=EDIT('&FSTART2.EVAL','99/99');
-*SET &FSTART4 = '20061001';
-*SET &FSTART5 = '20071001';
DEFINE FILE SALHIST
PLOTDATE/YYM=
IF EFFECTDATE GE '&FSTART1' AND EFFECTDATE LT '&FSTART2' THEN EFFECTDATE ELSE
IF EFFECTDATE GE '&FSTART2' AND EFFECTDATE LT '&FSTART3' THEN DATEADD(EFFECTDATE,'Y',-1);
SALEM3/D12=IF EFFECTDATE GE '&FSTART1' AND EFFECTDATE LT '&FSTART2' THEN OLDSALARY ELSE 0;
SALEM2/D12=IF EFFECTDATE GE '&FSTART2' AND EFFECTDATE LT '&FSTART3' THEN OLDSALARY ELSE 0;
md/TRM=EFFECTDATE;
END
TABLE FILE SALHIST
SUM
 SALEM2 SALEM3
-*BY EFFECTDATE
BY PLOTDATE
BY md
ON TABLE HOLD
END
DEFINE FILE HOLD
PM/M=PLOTDATE;
END
-* will give

GRAPH FILE HOLD
SUM SALEM2 AS 'Sales FY &F1' SALEM3 AS 'Sales FY &F2' 
ACROSS PLOTDATE

If you use a smartdate for the date field the sorting is done as it should be.
