  • 1.  Line and Column Chart

    Posted 03/23/20 01:29 PM
    Hello Dashboard experts,
    as indicated in a dashboard (charttype "line and column"): 
    line is placed higher with lower value than column with higher value.

    Any idea how to correct this to get a more logical picture?



    Thanks,
    Oliver

    Hi Oliver

    For this example using a "Line and Column", the 2 Y-axis have their own scaling... so they are not related - typically these charts are used for different measures like revenue and quantity where this would not be a problem. We are updating the chart soon to allow single axis to solve this.

    For now, I would suggest to use the line or column chart for similar measures.

    Thanks for your feedback Torben.
    Mentioned soon solution "to allow single axis" means we get the possibility to define line for measure 1 and column for measure 2 in one chart, isn't it?

    You can do that today, with the Line & Column chart - what we are adding is the flexibility to use a single axis (instead of Y1 and Y2) if you are using the same measure type on both Line and Column.
