Bar Chart Alignment with no dimension

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:26:36 GMT

I am seeing strange behavior in QV10. When I create a bar chart that has multiple expressions and no dimensions, the bars are aligned to the left creating strange empty space on the right. When a dimension is used with a single expression, the results are centered as normal. Can anyone explain why this is and how we can resolve the issue? I have attached a very small qvw example to illustrate.

Hi Aaron ,

May be it's happening because when no. of expressions increases chart tries to auto-size itself to fix to the axis length , try to give a single expression with no dimensions then u'll get a bar on the center of the chart & try giving 2 or more expressions then the style of the chart is grouping to itself & trying to autofix its size.

thanks

Meher

The way I fixed the problem is to create a calculated dimension. In the calculated dimension I just put a '1'. Also uncheck 'Show Legend' and 'Label'. The goal is just that there is some dimension for the chart. It fixed my Qlikview. I hope it will fix yours.

Although the formatting problem seems like a bug that should be fixed, in at least the above example, selecting a continuous axis also fixed the problem.

For me this problem came when I was using two dimensions instead of one. Did not know it can come with no dimensions as well.
