Qlik Sense Line Chart date dimension continous scale grouping does not work

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 15:37:53 GMT

Dear Qlik Fellows.

I need to achieve this:

Line chart
Date dimension on X axis
The whole chart must fit into screen (no scrollbar)
Date on X axis should group automatically to month/year etc.

The described behavior is called "Time-aware chart", however, it for some reason works inconsistently. Appreciate your input.

I have this chart already in Document 1, and it works just fine.

I paste the same chart into Document 2. I replace the initial date dimension with another date dimension (which in principle has a similar date range 2017-2018). And the X axis is not continuous anymore. And there is no date grouping anymore.

I tagged all date fields with tags $date and $day. Still not working.

Where is the trick?

Thank you,

Igor Zhilin.

Solved quickly, but using a method which I don't completely understand.

I added this line to the script to coerce all fields to be tagged as date:

Tag Fields '*Date*' With $numeric, $integer, $timestamp, $date, $day;

This did the trick.

However, I don't get it, why do I need to assign these tags manually to the columns that already come from a database where they have "date" datatype. If you have any clues on Qlik's field tagging, I would really appreciate your input.
