Line charts - dynamically changing line style for future dates

klt64

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am using Actuate BIRT Designer Professional v 4.2.3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a line chart with a solid line. I wish to dynamically change the line style to dotted line for future dates, whilst still plotting the solid line for past dates in the same series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How might I be able to do this ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many thanks</p>

<p>Easiest way might be to create 2 computed columns in your data set, one that holds data for past dates, one that holds data for future dates. Then plot the two computed columns as two different series in your chart. For the series with data in the future, change the style to dotted. </p>

<p>Hope this helps,</p>
