It takes a lot of discipline and dedication to run a blog properly and that is one of the main reasons why I admire bloggers and tech gurus like Chris Webb (who has been putting out high quality blogs for ages in a consistent manner!). Sadly, I am not very disciplined when it comes to writing blogs and it takes a significant external force to make me write nowadays. I had written a blog almost 3 years ago on how to create SSRS charts with data tables like in Excel and from then onwards, I have had a lot of readers ask me on how to do the same with line charts (both through comments as well as emails). I knew it was possible but was too lazy to write a blog on it, until I had 2 readers ask me the same question yesterday in the comments. Finally, I decided to check it out and write about it. The solution is not perfect and is more of a workaround but should be ok for most of you I guess.
The allure of Rolex watches is undeniable. Renowned for their precision, luxury, and timeless style, Rolex has become a symbol of status and success. However, owning a genuine Rolex watch comes with a hefty price tag, making it unattainable for many watch enthusiasts. This is where Rolex replica watches come into play. In recent years, high-quality Rolex replicas have gained immense popularity for their exceptional craftsmanship and resemblance to the real deal. In this article, we’ll explore the world of Rolex replica watches, where to find the best super clone 1:1 copies, and what you should consider before making a purchase.
The Rise of Rolex Replica Watches
The demand for Rolex replica watches has grown steadily over the years. These replicas have become more than just imitations; they are often referred to as “super clones” due to their astonishing accuracy in replicating the original Rolex design, movement, and functionality. The rise of super clone Rolex watches can be attributed to several factors:
Affordability: Authentic Rolex watches come with a price tag that often exceeds the budget of the average consumer. Rolex replicas, on the other hand, offer a cost-effective alternative for those who desire the prestige of a Rolex without breaking the bank.
Quality Improvements: Advances in manufacturing techniques and materials have enabled replica watchmakers to produce highly detailed and meticulously crafted super clones that are almost indistinguishable from the genuine Rolex timepieces.
Accessibility: With the advent of e-commerce, it has become easier than ever to find Rolex replica watches online. Numerous websites and sellers cater to this growing market.
Where to Find the Best Super Clone Rolex 1:1 Copies
While there are numerous sources for Rolex replica watches, it’s essential to exercise caution when making a purchase. Counterfeit products and low-quality imitations are abundant in the market, so it’s crucial to do your research and buy from reputable sources. Here are some tips to help you find the best super clone Rolex 1:1 copies:
Reputable Online Sellers: Several trusted online stores specialize in high-quality replica watches. Look for websites with a good reputation, customer reviews, and clear policies regarding the quality and authenticity of their products.
Ask for Recommendations: Seek advice from fellow watch enthusiasts who have experience with replica Rolex watches. They may recommend trustworthy sellers or websites.
Study the Details: Pay close attention to the product descriptions, specifications, and high-resolution images provided by the seller. The best super clone Rolex watches will closely resemble the authentic models, down to the finest details.
Reviews and Feedback: Read reviews and feedback from previous customers to gauge the quality and reliability of the seller. Genuine customer testimonials can provide valuable insights.
Warranty and Return Policy: Ensure that the seller offers a warranty or return policy, as this indicates their confidence in the product’s quality.
Considerations Before Purchasing a Rolex Replica
Before purchasing a Rolex replica watch, it’s essential to consider the following:
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Rolex is a protected trademark, and selling counterfeit Rolex watches is illegal in many jurisdictions. Ensure that you understand the laws in your area and the potential consequences of owning a replica watch.
Your Motivation: Be clear about your reasons for buying a replica. If you’re looking for a quality timepiece that emulates Rolex style, a super clone 1:1 copy may be a suitable choice. However, if your intention is to deceive or pass it off as an authentic Rolex, this is both unethical and potentially illegal.
Maintenance and Care: Just like genuine Rolex watches, replicas require maintenance to ensure their longevity and accuracy. Be prepared to invest in regular servicing.
Conclusion
Rolex replica watches, especially super clone 1:1 copies, have become a popular choice for watch enthusiasts who appreciate the elegance and craftsmanship of Rolex timepieces but may not have the financial means to own an authentic Rolex. While replica watches offer an affordable alternative, it’s crucial to exercise caution, do thorough research, and buy from reputable sources to ensure you receive a high-quality product that meets your expectations. Keep in mind the legal and ethical considerations surrounding replica watches and enjoy your Rolex-inspired timepiece responsibly.
For illustrating the solution, I am using a simple dataset which shows the sales by Product and Month.
To follow this solution, you must be familiar with the technique I mentioned in the previous article. If you have not read that, please the previous article first and then follow the steps below 1) A lot of readers already found out that if the technique described in the previous article was used, then we will only get points and not actual lines. So, the very first step here is to modify the source query such that for every actual point in the line chart, we get 2 more points which gives the start and end for that point. With this, now we will have a line joining 3 points for what would just have been one point before.
;WITH Src
AS (SELECT Product,
MonthNo,
Month,
Sales,
CASE
WHEN MonthNo = 12 THEN NULL ELSE (lead(Sales, 1, NULL) OVER (PARTITION BY Product ORDER BY MonthNo) + Sales) / 2
END AS LeadSales,
CASE
WHEN MonthNo = 1 THEN NULL ELSE (lag(Sales, 1, NULL) OVER (PARTITION BY Product ORDER BY MonthNo) + Sales) / 2
END AS LagSales
FROM (<Source Query>) AS O)
SELECT Product,
MonthNo,
Month,
‘1’ AS Type,
CAST (LagSales AS FLOAT) AS Sales
FROM Src
UNION ALL
SELECT Product,
MonthNo,
Month,
‘2’ AS Type,
CAST (Sales AS FLOAT) AS Sales
FROM Src
UNION ALL
SELECT Product,
MonthNo,
Month,
‘3’ AS Type,
CAST (LeadSales AS FLOAT) AS Sales
FROM Src;
Note that LeadSales column is actually the (Sales for next point + Sales for Current Point) / 2 and LagSales column is actually the (Sales for previous point + Sales for Current Point) / 2. This will help us get a smooth line when we join our different lines. Also, we have to ensure that for the first and last points, NULL values are assigned. The bottom part of the query brings all three columns (Sales, LeadSales, LagSales) into a single column called Sales but each one is assigned a different Type.
2) Repeat the steps 2 and 3 in previous article to make the matrix and the two rows above it.
Also add the Type column to the row group, delete the columns only and then filter the Type group for 2 only. The reason is that we only want the actual Sales to be shown in the data table, which is 2. Type 1 and 3 are used for the sole purpose of making the line chart.
3) Now you should be able to follow the rest of the steps in the previous article with the sole exception that you will be using a line chart and not a bar chart.
Make sure that you set the CustomInnerPlotPosition and CustomPosition appropriately like in step 10 in the previous article, so that graph appears continuous. I used the below settings for this line chart.
4) Instead of step 11 in the previous article, I chose to make a new column to the left for the vertical axis, and just made sure that the vertical axis for the line charts all have the same scale. 
Note that the series expression for this column is just 0, and there are no category or series group. This ensures that we just get a dummy line for the axis. You can start hiding the orders to ensure that the graph looks continuous.
5) I also added an expression such that the markers and tooltips only show if the type is 2.
6) With all these changes and a bit of formatting, we can get the below result
This should be good for most people. However, there is one minor drawback which is that the lines do not join that smoothly. I have just zoomed in one part so that you can see the issue. Maybe, this could be solved by fiddling along with the properties some more, but I feel this is not that big of an issue.
Hopefully this will put to rest some of the questions I keep getting on data tables in SSRS, so that I can go back to my lazy self 
(just kidding)
For this demo, let’s say – I want to display a green up arrow or a red down arrow based on whether my measure is positive or negative. For that, follow the steps below:-
