Combo Chart values displaying incorrectly

Hi all,

I am having an issue with the data values on a combo chart displaying on top of each other.

The chart consists of bars and lines, but some data points are falling at a similar value, meaning the values are displaying overlapping.

Has anybody any ideas how to get around this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use dual() function for create a lag with your date point values.With Space ASCII or return carriage ASCII. eg

=dual(chr(32)&chr(32)&sum(Sales),sum(Sales))

Thanks for the response.

I'm afraid this doesn't change the labels which are displayed on the chart when I do this.

The text still sits in the same place even when added spaces or return carriages to the expression

It works in QV. Maybe different behaviour on Sense.

Probably not the response you're looking for, but from a visualization perspective, it's not a great idea to have multiple values on a chart in the first place. If you strictly need the numeric values to be displayed, consider using a table or pivot table (possibly with mini charts included for a visual perspective) instead.
