Change Opposite Axis Member of Stacked Bar

#1

Hello everybody!

I have a Stacked Bar as you can see in the image below. My Issue is that the sorting of the measure descending requires a specific ‘Opposite Axis Member’. In this Example I selected “EMEA”.

When I use a filter on the column and deselect ‘EMEA’ the sorting gets lost because ‘EMEA’ can no longer be the Opposite Axis Member.

I tried to solve it with this script but it doesn’t work.

Script 
// Determine the measure sort policy override.
var measureSortDirectionOverride = '';
measureSortDirectionOverride = dundas.SortDirection.DESCENDING;


// Get the canvas adapter;
var view = this.parentView;

// Create the request overrides object.
var requestOverrides = new dundas.data.RequestOverrides();

// Create measure sorting policy.
var measureSortingPolicy = 
    new dundas.data.MeasureSorting();

/*
var measureSortingPolicy = new dundas.data.MeasureSorting({
        oppositeAxisMembers: 'EMEA.World Region'
    });
*/


var measureSortingByHierarchyLevel = 
    new dundas.data.MeasureSortingByHierarchyLevel(
      {
        direction: measureSortDirectionOverride,
        hierarchyUniqueName: 'Plant',
        hierarchyLevelUniqueName: 'A.Plant',
		// oppositeAxisMembers: 'EMEA.World Region'
      });


var test = new dundas.data.MemberValue(
	{
  oppositeAxisMembers: 'EMEA.World Region',
  hierarchyUniqueName: 'World Region', 
  levelUniqueName: 'World Region',
  uniqueName: 'AMERICAS.World Region'
	}
  );


measureSortingPolicy.directions.push(measureSortingByHierarchyLevel);
measureSortingPolicy.oppositeAxisMembers.push(test);

var requestMeasureOverrides = new dundas.data.RequestMeasureOverrides(
  {
    uniqueName: 'One',
    sortPolicy: measureSortingPolicy
  });

requestOverrides.measureOverrides.push(requestMeasureOverrides);

var hierarchyOverride = 
    new dundas.data.RequestHierarchyOverrides(
      {
               uniqueName: 'Plant'
      }
    );

requestOverrides.hierarchyOverrides.push(hierarchyOverride);


// Get the metric set binging override.
var metricSetBindingOverride = 
    view.control.overrides.getMetricSetBindingOverrideById(chart1.id, chart1.metricSetBindings[0].id);

if(metricSetBindingOverride)
{
  // Update the existing override.
  metricSetBindingOverride.requestOverrides = requestOverrides;
}
else
{
  // Add new override as one doesn't exist. 
  view.control.overrides.metricSetBindingOverrides.push(      
    {
      adapterId: chart1.id,
      metricSetBindingId: chart1.metricSetBindings[0].id,
      requestOverrides: requestOverrides
    }
  );
}
 

// Refreshing Data.
`var dataLoadPromise = chart1.loadData();`

Template for Script

Is there someone who can help me with this issue or has another solution in mind?
Thanks in advance.

Custom Sort, maybe. this works best if the list doesn’t get new items in it often.
You can set the order you want with a custom sort with out the Opposite Axis Member,
https://www.dundas.com/Support/learning/documentation/data-metrics/define-custom-measure-sorting

Not positive this will work but it what I would try next to see it it give the result you are wanting.

Thanks for the answer James. My chart works exactly as you suggested but the Issue occures when I filter on World Region and the initially selected Oppostite Axis Member is deselected the sorting gets lost. As you can see here I choosed ‘EMEA’ as Opposite Axis Member and then deselected it:

I want to change the Opposite Axis Member to on of the left item for example ‘AMERICAS’ in this example.

Hi Petros,

The script should work by re-sorting the measure, and it looks like it’s based on the example:
https://www.dundas.com/support/developer/script-library/data/setting-view-and-metric-set-overrides

When you say it doesn’t work, which event/action did you use for the script? Have you tried it in the filter control’s parameter value changed action?

The above sample has a downloadable sample dashboard, does it work at all at your end?

What if you add a button, put the script into the button’s click action, and update the sort via the button?

Hello Jay,

What do you mean with re-sorting the measure? I guess my script contains incorrect code.

I used a button to run the script and also on the parameter value changed function of the filter but it didn’t work.

I imported the sample dashboard and it works without errors.

Hi Petros,

Can you please send an email to support@dundas.com with a short description, and we can arrange a web meeting if it’s needed.
