Quadrant Charts in Yellowfin

Hi All,

I was wondering whether it is possible to set up a Quadrant Chart in Yellowfin - can't find much information online.

The data involves a top 10 gross profit and top 10 costs column, resulting in a total of 20 points on the chart. The data comes from a database that is frequently updated. The issue I'm having is that there is no way to put a 50% point unless you use predefined values (by the looks of it), which is a concern if the values keep rapidly changing.

One thing I have tried is to convert the values to a percentage of the total for that column however, there are 20 points (10 + 10 via two SQL select statements under a UNION). In a attempt to get around this, I've set the SQL in a view to have a column dedicated for containing the total but now there are two totals (one for gross profit and one for costs) due to having different companies in the top 10 depending on costs or gross profits.

In this layout, the same company shows up with different values. For example, Company A has 20% profit and 40% costs on the top 10 profits SQL statement but it appears as 20% profit and 60% costs on the top 10 costs SQL statement.

The end result is that the same company may appear twice. Their costs are the same but the calculated percentage isn't. Each company has a color based on whether the record is related to the cost or gross profit. Due to this, blue = cost, orange = profit, if there are two records as the company is in the top 10 for both categories, it appears as grey.

Now it's possible to add a reference line in the chart however, it looks like you cannot set it to the 50% mark dynamically unless you convert to percentage.

Preferably, I do not want to remove the duplicate row as it would be good to have the two points overlap on the chart and show a different color to indicate that the company is in top 10 for both categories. The chart works nicely if using the raw values (in $$$, not %) however, setting the quadrant lines becomes an issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Jim
