I am working on a dashboard in Cognos. One of the diagrams in which is a marimekko diagram, as shown below:
Presently, the widget offers percentage for the entrire diagram. I would, however, like to know how to get the x- axis values of each stacked bar (48.9 thousand - the value of the stacked bar on the very left, 80.2 thousand etc) either below or above as shown in the diagram below? Using summary or KPI widget additoinally either below or at the top, does not solve the issue when the diagram becomes interactive and the width changes.
The sample data used for producing the marimekko figure is:
You can tune your Marimekko visualization by using a IBM Cognos custom visualization and follow this stackoverflow post on Marimekko with D3.js visualization.
The standard Marimekko viz from IBM does not support what you are asking for - data entry slot for sum per bar.

I am trying to include Multi-level (two levels) labels for Category Axis while generating chart with OpenXML. The top level label should be right aligned and bottom labels should be centrally aligned.
I tried using "NoMultiLevelLabels" with the value "false" to be added in "CategoryAxis" instance.
I also tried using multiple "CategoryAxisData" series to be associated with "CategoryAxis" but nothing works. I can see only one level of labels.
A small example will definitely a welcome relief. I am using C# and OpenXML sdk.
I am using Cognos 11 to build a report. I am using a bar graph and I am trying to show actual values on top of each bar. Below is a picture of the graph I am trying to create. The writing in red is what I ultimately want to show for all bars.
I have tried everything but cant seem to find out how to do this. I think cognos 11 just may not support it. Any ideas or suggestions on how to show each bars values specific number in Cognos?
It depends on some factors:
What class of visualization are you using? (11.1, 11.0, legacy,
charts)
What kind of visualization is that? (I assume clustered
column)
Here are a couple examples to get you started.
For 11.1, clustered column:
Select the visualization.
Change the Show value labels property to Yes.
For charts, clustered column:
Select the visualization.
Click Select a chart object and select Bar.
Set the Show values properties by clicking on the ellipsis.
I'm having trouble with a combination chart. I'm using the old-school chart because same vis in the Legacy Visualizations and New Visualizations forces a second values axis with a different scale on the right. I don't want that.
The trouble I'm having is that not all of the observations are showing up. I have a page with a chart and a list. Both use the same query, but some observations are missing from the chart.
[MATSLabNumberNumeric] = cast ( substring ( [MATS Lab Number], 6 ), int ) where MATS Lab Number is like FA0200088 (for the first observation in the list). All observations are displayed if the MATS Lab Number is used, but not if MATSLabNumberNumeric is used.
I tried resizing the chart, but as expected, changing the layout had no effect on the data being presented. It just made the columns wider or narrower.
I have had the same results in all combinations of these:
Cognos Analytics 11.0.13
Cognos Analytics 11.1.7
Interactive Viewer
Compatible Viewer
11.4 styles
10.x styles
combination chart
bar chart
column chart
area chart
line chart
Any idea what could be causing this? Is there a property I inadvertently flipped?
You can try adjusting the width of the chart under the Size and Overflow property.
Please find attached example image, mark red color as zoom points.
I want to achieve interactive zooming in line chart, I come to know using SSRS its not feasible. Can you please suggest any software or tool can achieve zoom functionality which can be integrated in SSRS.
Currently i am using drill-down to show another chart
If user drag on particular mark the chart should be zoom on that point.
I was wondering if there is a way to integrate a bar chart and a line chart into "one single chart", where the bars are "on top of the line plot? See picture for a clearer view.
(Obviously the bar-chart is not supposed to be outside the actual plot...)
This is a bit of a hack, but you could create two charts with the chart area fill transparency turned to 100%. This allows charts to be placed on top of each other, but in a way that both can be seen. Turning off any elements in the chart that you don't want (for example, duplicate axis) would enhance the presentation.
Problem solved. It was actually just a matter of scaling data, and using two "line with markers" type charts. The lines in between each dot in the one showing the percentage, were then removed. Then, using a certain layout, a line connecting the two series could appear (as shown in pic).
