Tricky Combo Chart in Sisense How?

Hi the great sisense community, I need a lot of help on making a combo chart in Sisense. Below is what I want to create:

The purpose of this chart is to show my main baseball team (Yankees) in blue and compare its cost to other teams (orange). Due to the confidentiality of the project, I cannot show the names of the other teams in the bar chart. But I'm allowed to show their costs.

My data looks like below and is already in sisense elasticube.

To achieve the chart in Excel, I have to make a table like below and then use this table to feed the combo chart. Main Team is the blue bar, Competitor is the orange bars and average is the average line.

My chart configuration as below:

Now comes the tricky question. How do I do the same thing in Sisense using my elasticube data? I have uploaded my Excel file as reference

Hey mate,

Sure thing - i've provided a few variables at the top of the script to change selected and unseelcted colors:

let selectedColor = "#F7921E"
let unselectedColor = "#00ACCD"

widget.on('processresult', (w, args) => {
  let categoryItem = widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.dim
  let myTeams = widget.dashboard.filters.item(categoryItem).jaql.filter.members
  
  args.result.series[0].data.forEach((d) => { 
	  d.color = unselectedColor
	  d.selected = false
  
  })
  
  for (let i = 0; i < myTeams.length; i++) {
    let myTeam = myTeams[i]
    args.result.series[0].data.find((d) => { return d.selectionData[0] === myTeam }).color = selectedColor
  }
  for (let j = 0; j < args.result.xAxis.categories.length; j++) {
    if (!myTeams.includes(args.result.xAxis.categories[j])) {
      args.result.xAxis.categories[j] = ''
    }
  }

})

With the value labels, you can do this in the interface (the "Value Label" toggle):

Let me know how you go?

Thanks,

Thank you! Is there a way to only show value labels for the bars, not the line?

Yep - you can remove them by using the args.result.plotOptions in the process result:

  args.result.plotOptions.line.dataLabels.enabled = false

Or all together:

let selectedColor = "#F7921E"
let unselectedColor = "#00ACCD"

widget.on('processresult', (w, args) => {
  args.result.plotOptions.line.dataLabels.enabled = false
  let categoryItem = widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.dim
  let myTeams = widget.dashboard.filters.item(categoryItem).jaql.filter.members
  
  args.result.series[0].data.forEach((d) => { 
	  d.color = unselectedColor
	  d.selected = false
  
  })
  
  for (let i = 0; i < myTeams.length; i++) {
    let myTeam = myTeams[i]
    args.result.series[0].data.find((d) => { return d.selectionData[0] === myTeam }).color = selectedColor
  }
  for (let j = 0; j < args.result.xAxis.categories.length; j++) {
    if (!myTeams.includes(args.result.xAxis.categories[j])) {
      args.result.xAxis.categories[j] = ''
    }
  }

})

Which looks like this:

Hi lalasisi ,

A few steps here.

In the columns shelf you want your teams.

In the values shelf, you want:

your metric for comparison &
your metric for comparison ALL (teams) then click on three dots > Series Type > Line.

Lastly, this widget script will highlight the relevant team:

let myColor = "red"
let myTeam = 'Lily Brown'

widget.on('processresult', (w, args) => {
  args.result.series[0].data.find((d) => { return d.selectionData[0] === myTeam}).color = myColor
})

With the result looking like:

Let me know how you go?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply and I appreciate the help. Your answer would help achieve the basic chart but it is missing 2 of the most critical requirements:

My team would change dynamically when the end user filter to a different team (in the dashboard filter). How to write the script in a way that it will highlight a different team every time the dashboard filter is changed?
How to hide the team names of all the blue bars but let the red team name visible. This also needs to be dynamic as the user can choose "red sox" this time but "yankees" next time.

Missed these - a few extra steps required:

Let's make a few changes to the widget script, where we will detect the selected dashboard filters related to the first category item and then change the color and replace the xAxis text appropriately:

let myColor = "red"

widget.on('processresult', (w, args) => {
  let categoryItem = widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.dim
  let myTeams = widget.dashboard.filters.item(categoryItem).jaql.filter.members
  for (let i = 0; i < myTeams.length; i++) {
    let myTeam = myTeams[i]
    args.result.series[0].data.find((d) => { return d.selectionData[0] === myTeam }).color = myColor
  }
  for (let j = 0; j < args.result.xAxis.categories.length; j++) {
    if (!myTeams.includes(args.result.xAxis.categories[j])) {
      args.result.xAxis.categories[j] = ''
    }
  }

})

Secondly, lets make sure the widget filters behaviour is set to 'Highlight':

This should result in this here:

Amazing! Thank you so much Daniel! Your scripts works wonderfully! I was able to produce what I envisioned. Two more things, is there a way to make the gray bars to appear as #00ACCD and the orange bar to appear as #F7921E? I'd like to show the value labels of all the bars (i.e. their %'s). Is that another thing that needs to be added to the script?

Hi Daniel! Thank you so much for your new script! It works wonderfully. I was able to achieve what I envisioned in the end product which is amazing! Two more things I'd love to knock down:

Can I make the gray bars to be #00ACCD? And the orange bar to be #F7921E?
I want to show the value labels of all bars (i.e. their %s). Is that another add to the script?
