[SOLVED] Graph: Format Data Values with Dollar Amounts
Hello,

I am displaying a graph with the sum of amounts plotted on the Y axis.

On the Properties tab under Y-Axis, I have Value Format: $10,000. This shows the summed amount on the Y-axis correctly. However, I'm unable to format the data values.

I went to Properties --> Settings --> Graph Settings and checked the box that says "Show Data Values" - which displays the total amount above the bar, but rather than "$100,000" it shows "100,000" (same as when hovering over the data). I want it to be consistent and show "$100,000".

Please assist. My code is below:

  

ENGINE SQLORA SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION ODSP
SQL SQLORA PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
select fy,
       manager,
       sum(case when future_ask = 'Y' then amount end) future_ask,
       sum(case when pending = 'Y' then amount  end) pending,
       sum(case when past_due = 'Y' then amount end) past_due
 from prop_pipeline
where fy >= table.get_FY_function
group by fy, manager
order by fy
END
GRAPH FILE SQLOUT
SUM COMPUTE PAST_DUE_AMOUNT/D20CN=PAST_DUE; AS 'Past Due' COMPUTE FUTURE_ASK_AMOUNT/D20CN=FUTURE_ASK; AS 'Future Ask' COMPUTE PENDING_AMOUNT/D20CN=PENDING; AS 'Pending' 
ACROSS FY 
WHERE MANAGER EQ &MANAGER.(OR(FIND PROP_PIPELINE.PROP_PIPELINE.MANAGER,PROP_PIPELINE.PROP_PIPELINE.MANAGER IN prop_pipeline)).Select a Manager:.;

Hi,
You can add:
 
setTextFormatPreset(getDataText(),6);


in order to format Data Labels.

As for the tooltip,
You can try adding:

setUserToolTip ('[SL] for [GL] is $[YV]' );


But this may not work if you are on the older WebFOCUS release.
Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Nick Z,

Thank you for your assistance.

I found that:
setTextFormatPreset(getDataText(),6);


formats the data values in the bar graph with the dollar values and commas, so it displays $100,000 above the bar on the graph. Thanks!

When hovering over the data, the pop-up removes the commas that were originally there, so now displays 100000. I tried adding:

setUserToolTip ('[SL] for [GL] is $[YV]' );


but nothing changes and the hover still shows 100000 with no formatting at all (I'm on version 7.7.03).

Does anyone have any thoughts on the tooltip pop-up when hovering over each bar to display $100,000 instead of 100000?

Thanks,
Aimee

In WF 7703 custom tooltip setting only worked in Graph Applet mode.
You would have to change
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
to
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT OFF

And also(very important) remove
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG

But I do not recommend using Graph Applets...

Highly recommend upgrading to an 8x release.

Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Nick,

Thanks again for your help!

ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT OFF didn't change anything and removing ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG gave me a java related error.

I tried to just turn off the tool tip since you helped me get the dollars display correctly on the graph, but that didn't work. I tried:
setToolTipMode(false);

We are planning to make the switch to WF8, so going to add that as part of my testing and just make the change then.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Hi Aimee,
to turn off tooltip:
setToolTipDisplay(false);

What errors were you getting when you tried to use applet?
What browser are you using?

Are you getting something like:
https://techsupport.informatio...et_oraclejre170.html

If you do, you need to contact CSS and they will provide you with a patch.

Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Nick,

Thank you, again!

setToolTipDisplay(false); did work for me and I appreciate your help with this!

I'm using Internet Explorer 10. After making the following changes:
 ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT OFF
-*ON GRAPH PCHOLDFORMAT PNG

I do get the error that you mention in your link. I will contact CSS for the patch.

Thanks so much for your help with my issue. It is greatly appreciated!
