Set X-axis range in combo chart

[AndreaDugnani]

Hi everyone,

the question is quite simple: in a combo chart (1 dimension and 2 measures, even though this is not important) I would like to fix the range of values on the X-axis. Generally, this is quite simple: in chart properties >> Appearance >> X-axis >> Range  it is possible to set a minimum and maximum value for the axis.
The problem is there isn't such property for X-axis of combo chart, and the range of it is automatically selected.

Any idea to assign minimum and maximum values of X-axis in combo chart?

I understood what you asked, but honestly I don't understand why you need it like this.

The X axis is related to a dimension field with discrete values. Most of times, we have textual values. For example if the dimension is Product, which values would you put for min and max ranges?

Hi Fosuzuki,

I got your point. I show you a typical example of a combo chart of my app:

The aim of this is to compare the actual performance of a piece of equipment (blue dots) with its expected one (red line). Since the value of the red line are time-bounded and are re-calculated monthly with a complex formula, I cannot substitute them defining a reference line in Qlik and I need to calculate those values using a Phyton script and then I load them in Qlik. This is why I'm using a combo chart.

At the same time, I'd like to fix the X range between 80 and 280 MW, since this is the full operational power range of the piece of equipment.

Now I get your point. Unfortunately it is not possible to set the ranges in X axis for combo chart...

But the X axis's range is created automatically according to the available values. Does your reference line data has values for the desired min and max? Maybe this should fix the chart.
