Bar chart too wide gap

[asamariaekrickl]

Hi there,

I have created a bar chart with FinancialYear as the dimension and two expressions showing current year and previous year.

The problem is the big gap between the bars and that the bars are at each side of the chart.

Do you have any idea what might cause this gap?

Hi,

 we can custom bar distance by options like

Thanks, but I have tried all those without success.

This looks like two bars per year, with the 'wrong' year evaluating to zero, so there are two zero bars in the middle. If you provide more information (or preferably a small sample qvw illustrating the problem), then you will get suggestions on how to remove the extra zero bars.

Hi,

I'm sorry I can't share a sample qvw unfortunately.

There are two expression:

Expression 1
avg({<[Performance Indicators / Measures]=, YTD=, QTDLQ=, MTDLM=, FinancialYear=,[FY Year Number] = {'$(=$(vMaxFYYear-1))'}>} [KPI Value])

Expression 2
avg({<[FY Year Number] = {'$(=$(vMaxFYYear))'}>} [KPI Value])

Variables
max(right(FinancialYear,2)-1)
and
max(right(FinancialYear,2))

FY Year Number is 

If you have any ideas how to remove these extra bars, that would be amazing.

Can you Try creating the same chart using straight table that would help us check if there are any years in between with 0 or 0.000789 kind of values and then treat the situation accordingly

No clues there I'm afraid

A clue though is that this is gap is happening in all charts in this app. And there are a few... 🙂

the issue here is that 2 expressions are used and one of them is null whereas the other has value thus an empty placeholder for the Null expression gets created, try using a single expression and that will help you understand the cause better
