Hi !
I have a SQL table available where I wanted to show a radar graph based on its data.
It turns out that BI Viewer is not providing radar or spider graphs, so I wanted to know how to have such graph based on a data table and not a cube view.
BAsed on what I've seen, the Advanced Charts allows to work with cube views or business rules only. Does someone have a business rule in order to extract data from my SQL data table and have it as a source of the graph ?

You can use the below code snippet to create one
Dim sql As New Text.StringBuilder
sql.AppendLine("Select * from Table1")
Using dbConnFW As DbConnInfo = BRAPi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si)
Using dt As DataTable = BRApi.Database.ExecuteSql(dbConnFW, sql.ToString, False)
'Use System.Data.DataTable objects to play with column and rows.
End Using
End Using

You might have to figure out exactly what columns you need so that the chart actually works, but this is a generic Dashboard DataSet rule that queries a table in the application database.
Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.DashboardDataSet._JL
Public Class MainClass
Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As DashboardDataSetArgs) As Object
Try
Select Case args.FunctionType
Case Is = DashboardDataSetFunctionType.GetDataSetNames
Dim names As New List(Of String)()
names.Add("Dims")
Return names
Case Is = DashboardDataSetFunctionType.GetDataSet
If args.DataSetName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Dims") Then
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM Dim"
Using dbConn As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si)
Dim result As DataTable = BRApi.Database.ExecuteSql(dbConn, sql, False)
Return result
End Using
End If
End Select
Return Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex))
End Try
End Function
End Class
End Namespace

Thanks guys !
The thing is, I don't know what should be expected format for the graph and I can't find any documentatio about it. So far, these business rule will allow me to have a table with what's coming from my SQL query, but I don't know what the Graphs Data Adapter is expecting in terms of columns... any ideas ?
