I have a pie chart and I'm displaying the text and % on a feeler line.

When the % is displayed it has ( ) around it. This denotes a negative value for us.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the ( )
We are running WF 7.1.3

Here is some car code.

Thanks,

Lenny


DEFINE FILE CAR
BTYPE/A20 = IF BODYTYPE = 'CONVERTIBLE' THEN '2 DOOR CONVERTIBLE'
ELSE IF BODYTYPE = 'COUPE' THEN 'LOW SLUNG COUPE'
ELSE IF BODYTYPE = 'HARDTOP' THEN 'BROKEN DOWN HARDTOP'
ELSE BODYTYPE;
BVAL/D6.1 = IF BODYTYPE = 'CONVERTIBLE' THEN 3
ELSE IF BODYTYPE = 'COUPE' THEN 5
ELSE IF BODYTYPE = 'HARDTOP' THEN 10
ELSE 3.9;
END

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM BVAL
ACROSS BTYPE

Hi Lenny,

I tried the example code a few times, and it looks like that the () cannot be removed when displaying both the slice label and percentage %. To confirm this and/or submit a New Feature Request to be able to remove (), please contact Information Builders' Customer Support Services and open a new case. You may call at 1-800-736-6130, or access the online system InfoResponse.

Just wondering, will it help if the graph can display values? The following topic from Information Builders' online documents may be of interest then:

Hope this helps.

I think I have a way around the problem.
If I concat the value to the description then I can imbed \n in the string to make it print on 2 lines.

I'm also going to ask IBI to make this a new feature request.

I know IBI is going to show some new graph stuff at Summit. I think I'll bring it up there.

Thanks Kerry,

Lenny
