Having an issue with plotting certain date values when using an Advanced Graph.

I'm working with two different graphs that each have different date types plotted on the x-axis. The first graph plots fine, the second graph only plots the first 5-10 points on the x-axis. The second graph is still rendered with its y-values displayed, but fails to display the corresponding x-axis values.

For the first graph I'm using a date format of MDYY from a DEFINE statement, the second a HMDYYH format from the same DEFINE. The difference in the date values being that the first is a standard 'mm/dd/yyy' whereas the second is 'mm/dd/yyyy hh'. Both have the same format type from the synonym file they reside in.

These graphs both utilize a drilldown that works correctly for the instances where these x-axis values exist.

If someone could point me to an API Call or a different date format that would resolve this issue, it would be a huge help!

Thanks!


AG

I have an update with this issue.

One of our developers was able to find a work around. If you convert the date to an alpha numeric character then use it in the BY statement, all data points are plotted and displayed in the x-axis (drill down functioning as well) in the proper order. The specific code in the DEFINE being ..field/A20 = HCNVRT(..field, '(HMDYYH)', 20, 'A20')

I would still like to know how to do this using the date type of that mentioned in the above post.

Thank you,


AG
