Process Your Life

As we have integrated BIRT into your Process Management System Stages I want to start post some tips and tricks about building reports:

Generally a mixture of side-by-side bar charts and stacked bar charts is not really supported by BIRT. But with a little trick it’s possible to create a chart like in the picture below:

Create a Chart and select a side-by-side bar chart and choose “More Axes”.

This is more or less the trick. Each stacked bar will be on a separate axis.

In addition you need a dummy series on each axis. This dummy series will be marked invisible and not stacked as you can see below.
Stacked bars on multiple axis will normally placed on top of each other, but with this dummy series you move the stacked bars. See the “Format Chart” configuration:

Here you can see the result on our process management system Stages:
