Setting dimension font size in a Gauge Chart

Mon, 03 Feb 2014 10:37:12 GMT

I'm using V10 to create Gauge Chart but the dimension values are quite long and I need to reduce the font size. I can change the expression font size through the Font tab in properties but can't find where to change the dimension font size.

Sorry - forgot you were using a gauge chart. How are you displaying a dimension?

Press CTRL + SHIFT on this chart...

You will get RED BOX...

Adjust SIZE of the data accordingly....

In the Dimensions tab of the Chart I have my field selected as the single dimension. It's one of those speedo Gauge Charts. I think it's the default one with "Look" as the one in the top left on the Style tab in properties. I'm on V10 which may well make this different for most others out there on V11.

Sorry, I've never used this red box thing before. I got it to appear but how do I interact with it?

You can drag the edges of the red boxe(s) to resize the elements.

Hi Simon,

Guage chart is a Dimensionless chart. There cannot be dimensions in a Guage chart.

thanks,

As Rajesh suggested the Gauge charts are dimensional less. Given below is the definition from QlikView help.

"Gauge charts are used to display the value of a single expression without dimensions."

So you may need to revisit your requirement and find out another chart type.

Or you may create multiple gauge charts to compare your dimension values among each.

From the below link you can find that you may create multiple gauges with dimensions in IBM Cognos but I think that may not be possible in QlikView.
