Vertical bar in Chart

[Sunchaser]

Dear all,

On Cognos report studio 8.4:
In a chart with the X axis based on dates, is it possible to display a vertical line for the date which is the current date ? (or current month, whatever)
So, a line that would go verticaly from the min value to the max value.
Is there any "standard" functionality ?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Vinc.

hi sun,

im no expert on RS 8.4, but as far as i know there is no standart functionality. thats why, in cognos 10 ibm put much effort into the new chart engine and the new chart (and axis display) options...
but il ask tomorrow a friend of mine, hes working on cognos since 7..if he has an idea il post it :)
cheerz :P

Try using a Baseline ( in the properties of the chart) and then option "Member Value"

Dear Pricter,

Your idea is perfect.
I have managed to get the exact result expected corresponding to "my situation".

Thanks very much,
Best regards.
