How to get two different month dimensions on X axis?

Thu, 30 Oct 2014 09:06:39 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have two line charts of Open and Closed positions by month. Both charts have two different months as the dimension.

I want to merge the charts by taking only one month as dimension and giving two expressions for open and closed positions.

The problem is, whichever charts month I use as dimension in the merged chart, the other charts expression gives wrong count.

Eg. If I use Open Positions charts' dimension in the merged chart then the trend of closed positions give wrong count.

Please help, I want the charts to be merged for having a comparision monthly trend view of it.

Thanks in Advance,

Pratik

Hi,

You can create a master calendar in your data model and then use matercalendar 's month field as dimension.

there are many threads in community where you can get the idea to create and use master calendar..

"I have two line charts of Open and Closed positions by month. Both charts have two different months as the dimension." -- Are you using different "month fields" for both the charts??

are u using different month fields ?

If not then keep only 1 month field . And try... if still the same problem persists please share any sample data or sample .qvw file.

You cannot solve this without modifying the data model. It's not possible to combine two date dimensions in a chart into one dimension for the x-axis. You'll need to create a new month field in the script that links to your Open and Closed months. Can you post a document with some data so we can look at your data model and show you a solution?
