I am using Data-Studio to generate charts. I am generating charts for compute instances based on their CPU usage,in time-series. When I generate a chart(a line chart) a few instances are represented as lines in the chart, which have specific CPU usage values, but the majority of instances get accumulated into a category called "others" and therefore I am unable to show the metrics for others and the chart is not very useful.
Is there any way this category others can be avoided in data studio? so that all the instances are represented by a line or a bar?
I am new to Data-Studio. Kindly help. Thanks
There are a couple of ways to display the chart Without the Others series:
1) Time Series Chart
If you are using Date in the X-Axis (Dimension) then I'd suggest a Time Series chart as it's designed for Dates, and automatically sorts by Date as well as allowing for Date Range comparison (it also don't display the Others series, and series can be displayed as a line or bar).
2) Line Chart
Regarding the initial question (Line Chart) - Tested this out in a number of different Reports and Data Sources to confirm, and it seems to do the trick:
Create a Time Series chart;
Change the Chart Type to a Line chart;
Sort by Date in Ascending order.

I have a Google Data Studio pie chart showing the % of the Record Count metric, for various slices, but on hover, the tooltip shows the absolute number of Record Count. I don't want to share the absolute numbers with the customer receiving this report. How can I hide that?
Unfortunately it seems not possible as of now, here is the same question in the official support forum.
As stated by a user, the only possible workaround is to add a trasparent square over the chart, this would prevent the hover functionality to work.
Define your metric used in the pie chart as a percentage by setting the Comparison Calculation field to "percent of total". When hovering the mouse, something in the format 10%(10%) will be displayed on the card. Thus, the absolute value does not appear, even if the percentage is doubled.
Im showing identical data in two different charts:
But for some reason all bar charts show different time series for the graph. It should start from Mar.25 and end Apr.9
You might try looking at the style tab for the charts and selecting the correct range setting on the x axis.
Is it possible to extend the stock chart beyond the date of data being passed in?
For example, at 9:30am, I'd like to show the data that I have, but have the time range of the chart extend out to 4pm and show no data.
(Almost like a live view as the stock is being generated.)
I have tried adjusting the ranges, but it seems the chart just adapts to the data I have. Any help would be appreciated!
Currently, we can offer you the workaround: the additional null points will create the necessary empty space.
I need a quick help my requirements are a bit complex. I need to show multiple timelines against months accordingly. Such that on the left side i have all the Products and in the chart i want to show Dates on a time line and bottom line represents months.
So i need to display multiple time lines against all those products according to months i am attaching an image of requirements.
I just need to know whether this kind of report is possible in QlikView.
We are already using QlikView for our project and have developed many reports but not kind of this report.
Please provide your input whether this kind of report is possible in QlikView and if you can provide an example and some explanation of controls that would be helpful.
Thanks
I found this helpful when i made a similar type of project chart.
Here is an example .qvw also
To be able to create this chart, you need some type of event in the data model, where each event has a start date (or time) and possibly also an end date. Further, an event should belong to some grouping, typically a project or a phase in time.
Given the above, we can now start making the graph:
Create a bar chart with the appropriate event grouping as dimension (e.g., project, phase, or other group of events)
Add the duration of the project as expression: Max(EndDate)-Min(StartDate). If you only have one date per event, you just replace both StartDate and EndDate with the date that you have. The duration will then be the time between the first event and the last.
Add the start of the project as an offset to the bars: Min(StartDate). [Chart Properties-Expressions-The plus sign to the left of the Expression-Bar Offset]
Set the graph orientation to horizontal bars. [Chart Properties-Style-Orientation]
Remove the “Force 0” option. This option will force the start of the time axis to be Dec 30th 1899. [ChartProperties-Axes-Expression Axes-Force 0]
Format the expression axis labels as dates or as months (e.g. M/D/YY or YYYY MMM). [Chart Properties-Number-Date]
Now you should have a Gantt chart. If you want to improve the way it looks, you may want to consider the following suggestions:
Add a grid. [Chart Properties-Axes-Expression Axes-Show grid]
If you want a label on each bar, add a second expression defining the text for the label and use this as “Value on Data Points.” [Chart Properties-Expressions-Display Options] Don’t forget to disable the “Bar” option for this expression. This is the first check box in the Display Options group.
If the chart shows a range which is too large, add static min and static max to define the display range of the expression, e.g. Min(StartDate)-5 and Max(EndDate)+40, respectively. The additional distance on the upper limit is to leave space for the text. The unit is number of days. [Chart Properties-Axes-Scale]
If you have a second dimension, you can add this too. But if you do, make sure you use the “Grouped” option and not “Stacked.” The latter does not work well with bar offsets. [Chart Properties-Style-Subtype]
You may want to use the same color within each value of the first dimension, e.g., one color per project. One good way to define the color (e.g. RGB values) is to do it already in the dimension table in the script and use this color in a color function in the bar background color, e.g. RGB (ProjR,ProjG,ProjB).

I am trying to load dataset during initialization of the JFreeChart. But every time I tried to create a dataset with higher "number of item per series", the more data (all data) displayed visible in the chart (the bigger the dataset, the smaller the graph). But actually what I wanted is to have the fixed range of dataset values displayed on the chart while the rest is still hidden. Just the same way the data would normally be displayed in the actual trading platform, let's say Metatrader (MT4). First time when I open the chart I can see the screen filled with the only visible dataset of the chart and if I left-scroll the chart I will be able to see the old/history dataset as well. Does anyone have idea how to achieve this using JFreechart?
Really appreciate for any help or any thing/articles I can refer. Thanks so much!
You can use setRange() on either the domain or range axis, as shown in this fragment. If you've already tried this, it may help to edit your question to include an sscce and/or image that exhibits any problems you encountered.
