Hi Sudha,
A screenshot would help, but I understand you have too many labels and they
overlap. The best solution for now is to rotate them vertically. If you
would be interested in a new feature like label staggering or automatic drop
of some labels, please file a bugzilla enhancement for it.
To rotate the labels, follow those instructions (from another thread):
"You could go to Chart builder -> Attributes -> X Axis -> Labels, then
you'll
find a button beside the Label grid -> Font. Click the button to invoke Font
Descriptor, there is an attribute named Rotation. By changing the value of
rotation, You could set the X-Axis label to be vertically or arbitrary angle
you like."
Thanks,
David

Hello David,
I am able to rotate the X.axis attirbutes. Thanks !!
I got one more doubt.
I have 'Month_year' column whose datatype is 'datetime' in SQL server
table and the values i entered in that column are in the formatll be like
'12/1/2004'. But when i used this "Month_Year" column in BIRT iam getting
the time stamp too.
Example :
Iam getting the format as "12/1/2004 00:00:00"
I want it in the format "Dec 2005 " but it will show in the column as
'12/1/2005'and no time stamp beside it.
I dont have facility in the SQL Server2000 other than
'datetime','smalldatetime' and 'timestamp' datatypes.
So can i use expression builder to get the format i want ?.If so HOw can i
use it.Could you send me the sample.Could you please send me your email to
send the screen shots.
Thanks

Sudha,
There are several formatting options for datetime values. Where are you
using it? If it's an chart you can invoke the format specifier by clicking
on the 0.0# button next to the Data Definition. If it's in a data element,
you can go to the property editor view and select Format DateTime in the
properties tab.
Hope this helps,
David

There will be several Dates like "05/1/2005 00:00:00" , "04/1/2005
00:00:00" on X-axis and cost values on Y axis.
Now my point is I want them as " May 05 " instead of "05/1/2005 00:00:00".
The value in SQLServer table is in the format '12/1/2004' under
"Month_Year" column with datatype "dateTime". So when iam trying to use
this column in chart x-axis the format is comming up like "05/1/2005
00:00:00" instead of " May 05 ". Is there any way to convert it ?
I tried 0.0 button and changed the value to datetime from number but no
luck. I dont understand how to set it in property editor view because it
is going to expression builder and when i dragged and dropped "getMonth()"
method from date functions i dont see any change. May be i need to code
properly apart from dragging and dropping "getMonth()" function onto
expression area.
Hope you got me.
Sudha.

Sudha,
Please try the following steps:
Invoke Chart Dialog -> Data -> X Axis; Set Type: DataTime, then invoke the
0.0# button next to the field.
In Format Specifier -Base Axis dialog, Set Data Type: Date/Time, then go to
Advanced, Set Pattern: MMM dd
Hope it is what you want.
Cheers.
Regards,
Nina
