Creating Graphs or Charts in SharePoint and WSS Lists ( sparklines )

Sparkline are small graphs which generally indicates the trends or variations associated with entities like stocks, temperature, currency and so on. Nothing can express better then a picture itself (Note: Typo for the Temperature in the screen shots)

Implementation Steps

1) Create the SharePoint List or Document Library with the require data as shown below



2) Add some calculated fields like average, max, min in the List as shown below


In similar fashion calculate the Minimum and Average using the formula field.

=Min(January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December)

=Max(January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December)


3) Create a calculated column called "variation", which will have the chart populary called Sparkline

Add the following formula, as shown in the screenshot below:




i.e. ="<DIV><IMG src='http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bvs&chs=200x125&chd=t:"&[January]&","&[February]&","&[March]&","&[April]&"............................&chco=4d89f9,c6d9fd&chbh=20&chds=0,100' /></DIV>"

4) Create a View having the following columns
           City, Variation, Min, Max and Average
    Navigate to the View and it will appear as shown below:

 

5) Edit the Page and add Content Editor Webpart at bottom of the page in hidden mode with the following source

6) Now the Sparkline Graph should appear as shown below

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the ѕtructure

But maybe уou cοuld a lіttle moгe

Todаy, I went to the beaсh with my κids.
I found a ѕea shell anԁ gavе it to my 4

the ѕhell tо her ear and screamed. There ωas а hermіt cгab inside and it pinchеd her ear.

She nevеr wantѕ to go baсk!
