stack bar wrong displaying

[shivani_cog]

I have to create a chart with stack bar in a percentage.
There are  4  values  showing in each stack bar.
1) 25%
2)  35 %
3) 45%
4)  55%
The total %  is 155 % but I want it in a total  100%.  How do I fix it?
Thanks for the help.

Did you try to use "Stacked 100%" chart?

Hi Pricter,
My users don't want 100% Stack.

I have another question.
I am using date prompt (begin date and end date)
How can I see date prompt in a  report instead of opening from prompt page.
I tried moving date prompts in a report page but it still asks me to prompt the date before it opens the report page when I run the report.
I heard that there is a javscript which helps to open the report directly without propmting the date first.
I am creating a dashboard.
Thanks for your help.

Firstly is not clear to me what r you trying to achieve with your bar.

Since the total values are 150% in which way will become 100%.

The date prompts r displayed since I assume that the parameters of them are not optional or you have not declare a default selection for them.

Hi Pricter,
You are correct about the 100% stack. I have to explain to my user about that.

About date prompt, there is no area to select optional.
Date prompt I use from Cognos Date prompt(default).

On the properties of the date prompt under general section there is a property Required set to No for the prompt to be optional.

Moreover in the filter's properties that you use your parameter select Optional in the property Usage

Hi Pricter,
Thanks for your answer.
I already tried with  Required set to NO.
I used Default selection date for beginning date and ending date.
It takes me to the main report now. Then I will prompt different date from the main report.
