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 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'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.
I'm looking to set up a scroll bar in Excel that corresponds to what set of data I use for a chart. I have built a 2-value doughnut chart that acts as a percentage gauge (green section is completed and grey is 100% minus the completed part).
I want to be able to choose what month's data I use for this chart using the scroll bar. All I can seem to find online is how to modify the number of rows and columns that are displayed on a graph rather than actually using the scroller to pick what data to display.
In addition, how would I make it default to the current month? Any help would be appreciated!
For anyone that is looking for a similar solution, I have figured it out. It works with something called a dynamic range. Use the value of the scrollbar to determine the offset of rows (pick which row of data to use). Then link that dynamic range to your chart in place of where you would select the data.
I am currently able to use the tile feature in Power View to view data much more quickly. However I haven't figured out a way to have nested tiles to further drill down into the relevant data.
For example, I want a tile strip at the top of my view of all the different "Projects." Once I click on a tile, I want to see all the relevant data for that project and have part of that container have a strip of tiles to show "Risks, Issues, Action Items, etc." and other items in a list. See image in this link (it is a non-working dashboard, but showing you all to get a better idea of the hierarchy).
Does any one know how to do this? I know I can use slicers instead for one of the levels or view filters but I want to be able to use tiles for both.
If you use a slicer within your tile it will almost do what you want. However, you wouldn't get the nice icons for warning & error to be the source of selection. You could make it more visual by separately having a table that includes the images so that when a user selects a slicer value, it shows the appropriate icon.

I made the pie chart clickable in active report and linked to data deck and to filter on lists but the thing here if it's possible to multi select on chart and how to make it reset to show all items I can't make it anti select so it show all as when it loaded
anyone faced that before
I think I understand what you are trying to do here.
You appear to be trying to set the value of a filtered pie chart in an active report to be unfiltered, or similar to a case where you have "selected all"
The simplest way to do this is to create a button that will set the variable filtering the chart to empty. Since you are not filtered all values will be shown.
