Hi,

I have a graph report in which i need to display both positive and negative values. Also i need to display the datatext values ABOVE the vertical bars.Now the issue is the negative datatext values are displaying inside the bars and positive values above the bars. I need all the data text values to display above the bars. Is there a property, so that i can specify data text position to negative values separately. Or some other property to detect the negative datatext values???

We can have an alternative work around for this as below, in which we are splitting the field as two one having positive and the other having negative value so that we can identify negative and positive values seperatly as a getseries().
Then using the following to identify the negative data:
setTextFormatPattern(getSeries(0),"-###,###");

-SET &V1=0;
-REPEAT LOOP1 2 TIMES
-SET &FLAG = IF &V1  EQ 0 THEN FLAG1 ELSE FLAG2;
-IF &V1 EQ 0 THEN GOTO LABEL1 ELSE GOTO LABEL2;
-LABEL1

-GOTO SKPLAB2
-LABEL2

-SKPLAB2

 DIFF/D20=IF COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' THEN ( DCOST - RCOST ) ELSE RCOST - DCOST ;
 NEGDIFF/D20=IF DIFF LT 0 THEN -1*DIFF ELSE 0;
 POSDIFF/D20=IF DIFF GT 0 THEN DIFF ELSE 0;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COMPUTE FLAG/A6= '&FLAG.EVAL';
COMPUTE DIFF1/D20 = IF FLAG EQ 'FLAG1'      THEN NEGDIFF ELSE 0;
COMPUTE DIFF2/D20 = IF FLAG EQ 'FLAG1'      THEN POSDIFF ELSE 0;
COMPUTE FLAG2/D20  = IF FLAG EQ 'FLAG2' THEN HEIGHT  ELSE 0;
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS FILE1
END
-SET &V1 = &V1+1;
-LOOP1
