I inserted a graph matrix in my document but I cannot understand how to chang the kind of graph I want to see.
in the documentation (http://www2.microstrategy.com/producthelp/9.3/WebUser/WebHelp/Lang_1033/formatting_a_graph_matrix_visualization.htm) is written:
From the Shape drop-down list, select the shape to use to display graph elements in the visualization.
But I cannot find this Shape drop-down list.
my proprerty menu look like this:
By the way I dont want to change the kind of item shown in a graph (square, circle), I want to change the kind of graph (line chart, pie chart, scatter chart).
Are you looking for this option in the properties?

I am trying make a bar graph of the data shown below. The x-axis should be "Years" and the y-axis, should be "INCOME," "SPENDING," and "TIPS." In my attempt below, it can be seen that "TIPS" are not following the correct "Year" input.
I created this graph be using the Graph Wizard in Excel.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.
You can use PivotChart. Go to Insert -> Charts -> PivotChart
In excel charts can we change design of bars from

Background: I have taken agile project plan excel template from https://www.smartsheet.com/agile-project-management-excel-templates, but I didnt like the bars without arrows and hence I want to change these bars to look something like bars in https://www.smartsheet.com/agile-project-management-excel-templates#agile-product-roadmap-template
Lead here is appreciated.
Half... Let me show and you decide :)
This arrow is not a chart object. It's a shape, a drawing:
However, we can use shape object in Excel charts.
Remove text (you'll see in the last picture why) and Copy the excel object (picture above).
Mark the chart series you want to replace (notice I marked all of them, small circles)
Then just paste :D!!
Notice one bar has a border line, just click on the bar -> "Fill & Line" -> "Border" -> "No Line" to hide the border line around your shape object.
You can do it individually with different colours. When the graph changes the size of your bars changes too (according to your data). It's a bit more "maintenance" but looks better. General rule, the better it looks, the more "special" it is (more manual involvement)...
I'm using Tableau 9.0.2 to generate graphs and I can't for the life of me figure out how to move (ideally drag, right?) the field name for my x-axis from the top to the bottom of the graph, by the units, where it should be.
I'm attaching a picture because it's probably the easiest way to make clear what I'm trying to do, given this is a question of positioning:
This Tableau graph has the field name "Iterations" at the top of the graph, not the bottom, where it should be. While this might not seem like a huge concern, it means that these graphs are not immediately exportable.
How can I move the label "Iterations" to the bottom of the graph, next to its axis?
The answer currently offered below allows for manual image modification within Tableau, which is unsatisfactory. It seems bizarre to me that the default, unchangeable behavior of Tableau goes against standard practice in graphing (labels next to labelled).
If the goal is just to get the headers and the axis label in the same place, one alternative would be to move the headers to the top of the chart (as opposed to moving the axis label to the bottom).
Go to Analysis/Table Layout/Advanced... and uncheck the option "Show innermost level at bottom of view when there is a vertical axis". This will move your Iterations headers to the top of the chart, and now everything will be in the same place.
If that's not an acceptable alternative for you, here's the only (kind of unfortunate) solution I can think of:
Place your worksheet in a dashboard.
Right click the axis label and select Hide Field Labels for Columns.
Create a text box with your desired axis label (in this case "Iterations") and place it below the chart. Your headers and your DIY, home-brewed, hacktastic axis label will now both be at the bottom.
Hide the columns axis label then enable / edit the caption within the bottom of the dashboard. Then center the value of the caption. Should look better.
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).
Is it possible to drag and drop the shape of graphs in Excel?
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
-if I click and hold the graph I can drag it up and down
-if I click on a point on the graph and then click and hold on another point, I will drag an interval of the graph up and down
No. What you are asking for is "Interactive charting". The Excel VBA charting interface draws the entire chart based the parameters you define for it. It doesn't have an interface to manipulate the individual components of the chart thru VBA. (Something like move line vertice to new point). In addition, the points of the graph are based on spreadsheet values. So it would have to detect your mouse events over the chart, convert those movements to the scale used in the chart to reverse calculate a value and then change the associated cell in the spreadsheet. And then a graph repaint of the entire chart would be requested. This total repaint would look pretty choppy.
