For all the graph experts, I hope you can help me. This is my first graph attempt and I am stumped. I've been scouring the forums for a similar issue but haven't found one. I get the report above the graph(good) which indicates the percents of 6%, 22%, 69%, and 3% for my pie graph(these are the correct percents). I am building off a hold file for my graph(hold file gives same percents) and when I run the graph ...the slices have 6%, 22%, 67%,and 5%......Can anyone see why my percents are off by two??? Thank you in advance. Michelle

Look over this article

Prarie, The issue MAdams1 is having is that TWO of the percent numbers changed. The total still adds up to 100% but TWO of them changed values.

MAdams1, it looks like you are recalculating the percent in the GRAPH FILE section. Try adding an AS phrase to the PCT.STUDENT... in the TABLE FILE that creates the STYPEHOLD file. Then in the DEFINE before the GRAPH FILE change the PERCENT/P9%=[the AS for the PCT field in the HOLD File]. This might do the trick.

MAdams1, Another thought is it looks like you could remove the PCT. on the 'PCT.STUDENT_APPL_HISTORY_DIM.STUDENT_APPL_HISTORY_DIM.percent' field. If the field already contains a percent value then you do not need to perform a PCT. on the field. this may also be throwing off your numbers. This is because it performs a PCT using the values of the percent field whereas the DEFINE causes the PCT in the GRAPH FILE request to perform the percent calculation on a real count.

Thanks Prarie. This article is great!

[SOLVED]

To Mickey,

Thanks..your second post did the trick. I also noticed I had some issues with my hold file. It's fixed. Thanks a bunch.
