Calendar Chart in Spotfire



I recently had a colleague asking me to show him the data in a calendar format.. Something like this

I basically used a scatterplot for this. You can check out the original DXP here 
http://bit.ly/spotcalendar

Some key settings to make it a calendar. Please note Order date is the date of interest here
These expressions are out of the box expressions, no need to handcode them, but select them in the axis value 
X Axis   <BinByDateTime([Order Date],"DayOfWeek",0)>
Y Axis   Week([Order Date])
Trellis into panels <BinByDateTime([Order Date],"Year.Quarter.Month",2)>
Manual layout 4 X 3
Labels UniqueConcatenate(DayOfMonth([Order Date]))
Shape Tiled Markers
Marker by <UniqueConcatenate([Order Date])>

Happy plotting your calendar!!!

    Cool stuff!

    Two more settings are needed on the y-axis to get this to work correctly:
    - reverse scale
    - individual scaling for each trellis panel

    Can anyone make this work now with SF 7.0?
    I am not able to make the week of date render with individual scales as it shows unable to render with multiple scales with a categorial axis.
    Otherwise is OK,

    Thank you for the great tip!!!

    I was able to do this in Spotfire 7.0, only thing is the calendar is in reverse order. Week (Y axis) in reverse order.

Using Accordions in Spotfire Text Areas

Spotfire 6.0 provides great tools for quickly building your dashboard, but here we will learn to spice up things with the help of new 6.0 text area. If you are not aware the new 6.0 Text area supports HTML, Javascript and CSS. This opens up possibilities for doing a lot more with the text area. Some of the basic stuff can be seen here http://spotfire.tibco.com/qrt/UBSAN/presentation.html?pcode=100044   One of the cool things you can do is build an accordion panel in the text area for better utilization of the valuable screen real estate and helping the overall experience.(Watch the 0:15 second video below to see how accordion works - Sorry for the jitter in the video. The screen recorder does not record fast enough) Here is the html behind the text area : Please note that Spotfire controls are automatically created when you add text area controls, like filters, drop down lists etc. <DIV id="myaccordion"> <H3>Analysis Details</...

Spotfire Auto Save for recovery

This is an extension I build to auto save local copies of currently open DXP every 15 minutes.. I have tested briefly and it seems to be doing its job, please please please try and test it if you can access a server and deploy.. Key Notes - This add-on will Auto Save Files while only in Spotfire Analyst Client. The save time is hard coded for every 15 minutes. Files are saved only if they are changed or user has done some actions like marking, filtering etc. The Files are saved in temporary location of the system, generally which will be like C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Spotfire AutoSave If a Library file is opened it will be saved on your local machine under the temp path C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Spotfire AutoSave\Library Content\ Library path will be replicated in this autosave location. e.g. C:\Users\<username> \Local\Temp\Spotfire AutoSave\LibraryContent\mylibraryfolder\mylibraryfilename_mmddyyyy_HH...
