Hi,

I have one problem that I don't if it is my fault or not. We have chart which has argument and value columns from dataset and also we use auto key series column for grouping graphs. We've checked and rechecked data but it seems that for some reasons when we use stacked bar or spline or whatever and use it with auto series column it creates charts that do either duplicate argument values, for example some of the argument values are shown twice, or even showing values on wrong xaxis argument.
When we don't use auto series column it is all right. The problem is just for some of the data in xml which we use as data input.
Please advise, maybe we are using auto series column wrong, maybe we should sort series by argument to make it work correctly..
I don't know if someone experienced the problems with auto series feature, but for us it is not behaving as it should.
Maybe we are doing something wrong when defining auto series column? We only want to group data by one column, maybe we should use 'select valuecolun from dataset by groupcolumn' instead.
Maybe we understood wrong the auto series column feature? We need for to create graphs group by one column in data set.

Please advise.
Thx in advance,
Kind regards,
Igor

In the next prerelease build we are planing to add a new feature for grouping based on ArgumentDataColumn property for AutoSeries.

We'll inform you in that topic about this feature when it is available.

Thank you.

In the next prerelease build from 2 May, this feature will be available.

Thank you.

Would you please explain how this is done, grouping?

Hello.

Please see an example for the case when amount of series is different for each automatically created series.

The paths in that report is for drive d, so please unpack the archive there:

Hi,

I have almost the same issue with Auto series key data column. I think there is something wrong in my configuration. I've tried to download the example but it wasn't there anymore.
could you please help me to find a way to use this feature.

Thanks

Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
I am using version 2011.1.1000.
I was trying to build a dynamic chart for a query, which contains "Day of the week","Name" and "Amount". I want to put "Day of the week" on X axis, create a series for each "Name" to show their amounts changes during the week.

My problem is when I set the "Auto Series Key Data" to "Name","Day of the week" as Argument and "Amount" as a "Value", they way I think I should put them together, it wont result to a correct diagram. I've relocate theses fields between those properties, but still doesn't work correct.

I think maybe I made a mistake to set the values so I was looking for an example of how these fields should be set properly.
I really appreciate your time, if you please help me to solve this issue.

Cheers,
Ali
