One of the more annoying things about Xcelsius charts is its inability to show data lables. That is to say, you can’t see the values of each data point on a chart without hovering over each point. In this video, I show you how you can leverage one of Excel’s oldest tricks to actually show chart values without hovering. Even cooler than that, I show you that you can do this without adding a data grid, textbox or any other component to the chart visualization. That’s right, show chart values without the aid of any other components. Enjoy!!

This month SAP is holding the Innocentive Xcelsius SDK component challenge, enabling developers to create and submit innovative add-on solutions that bring value to the Xcelsius 2008 environment. This is a great opportunity to earn recognition for your submission(s) and to possibly claim some prize cash should you emerge as a category winner.
In this multi-part series, we will enumerate fundamental pieces of the SDK and how to properly use them, including custom component development, property sheet development, component packaging and advanced component integration topics.
Let’s get started with a few common items to be aware of.
Dynamic Visibility
Although there is not a utility available in Xcelsius that can provide you with this common feature as an inherent part of your component, it is possible to wire up dynamic visibility (albeit not true Xcelsius dynamic visibility) to some extent. Continue Reading…
We want to be first to let you know that Centigon will be opening its doors in June to accept BETA users, but as one of our readers you can sign up now to test their newest component, the ‘CSV Connector’! For those who don’t know what CSV stands for it means ‘comma separated value’. Seats are limited, the BETA is not yet public so get in now.
Guru Honest Review - This is by far one of the easiest ‘live data connectors’ in Xcelsius we have ever used, which makes sense since the owners of this company were developers themselves. No rigid formats, special headers or customized scripts! Signing up on the page below takes on 2 minutes so do it now.
