Using custom formulas with data graphics in pivot diagrams
by VG9t » Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:08:01 GMT
I am using Visio2007 and have created a pivot diagram. I am trying to show a
progress data bar but the max value is the same for each item. e.g. If I
have 2 data columns (Target Revenue, Actual Revenue), how do I show the
actual as a progress on the target revenue for that specific item?

There's been a great series of articles over on the Visio Insights Blog about
how to customize data graphics

You might use the multi-bar callout in order to enter two fields.

Thanks Al! I picked up on the duplicate function which allowed me to set
each item differently. However, now when I refresh data to update the pivot
diagram, the data graphics revert back to some previous state. How do I make
the current graphics persist after data refresh? Thanks!

I believe you need to make sure that all the shapes in a given level have
the same data graphic.

1.Data Graphic - Custom Formula - Syntax and How To?
I want to add a Custom Formula icon to a Data Graphic. The formula
would be a function of Shape Data.
So question: What is the Syntax to do that? For example if I have
Shape Data elements Length and Width, what would the Custom Formula
look like to calculate the Area, (Length * Width)?
Thanks,

2.Add formula to Pivot Diagram
Any idea how I add a formula to calculate the percentage for each node in a
level, e.g. each Division has revenue of x $ which show up as the total
revenue in the top node. I'd like to add an additional data field to show
that Division 1 is 23% of the total and Division 2 is 77% of the total.
Thanks

4.Using YRulerOrigin in Custom Formula?
I'd like to calculate the Y-position of a shape from the YRulerOrigin
(I think, its the value from Tools|Ruler&Grid|Rulers|RulerZero|
Vertical). Apparently the YRulerOrigin is a page object, I tried
<PAGENAME>.YRulerOrigin to no avail.
To be clear, I know the "absolute" location, but want to use the value
from the "relative" position when the ruler origin is moved.
TIA.
5.Assistance With Visio 2007 Custom Data Graphic
Hello People,
I wish to build a Custom Data Graphic that gets displayed as a Data Bar -
similar to the Percent Complete one that is shipped 'out of the box' but for
use with a Gantt Chart Task Bar. But instead of the Data Bar being driven
from 'percent complete' data - its size is driven from 'Start Date' and 'End
Date' data.
I've built a 'static' version of what I need using stuff from the Gantt
Chart ShapeSheet, but would really like to be able to update Tasks,
Milestones, Dates etc dynamically from Excel - just like can be done with the
Data Bar %Complete. I'm not a programmer so any assistance/pointers greatly
appreciated.
Many Thanks
Cam
