Title: Bullet chart - modifying values direction (from maximum to minimum)
Post by: Vegaelce on 02 Feb 2017 03:32:05 AM
Hello,

On gauge charts, it is possible to have maximum values on left and minimum values on right by putting "counterclockwise" in direction property of Gauge axis.
On bullet chart, I haven't managed to do the same.
Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Which version of Cognos 10 are you using? I have little experience with bullet in Cognos, but I think they made some progress with them during newer versions? Or maybe it's just my futile hope...  :-\

We are in Cognos 10.2.2.

That's right there are a lot of progress. I can customize a lot of things on these bullet charts ... except the direction of the values  :(

If you have a fixed or at least limited range of values (say, percentages), you can use [value] * -1 as your measure for the graph, then omit the negative sign via data format.
