Qlikview Vertically Compressing (Squishing) Stacked Bar Chart

evanfritts — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hello all,

I am trying to make a stacked bar chart to display certain line item costs that stack to reach a total cost for each department where I work. Qlikview is displaying the information correctly in a stacked bar chart, however, it seems there is ample space on the chart area to display the information, but the bars are scrunched together and even the numbers on the scale (y-axis) are overlapping slightly.

I am wondering why qlikview is scrunching up my graph and how I can fix this.

Hi Evan,

Have you tried unchecking the 'Synchronize Zero Level for Expression-Axis' from the axis tab in the chart properties?

I just tried this and there is no visible change whatsoever, but thank you for the potential fix

Only thing that comes to mind on this one is Static Step being set, see attached screenshot.

I also had trouble with this on a number of bar charts.

I found unclicking the option 'Allow Thin Bars' solved my formatting issues.
