Chart Display?

Hi All,

I have two queries with my chart I am trying to create.

1) Why is there a gap between the x-axis and where the bar chart starts? And how do I fix this?

2) Is there a way I can turn off the data point when no selections have been made and then when I make a selection the data points will show ?

Thanks in advance.

1) Click on chart

now CTRL + SHIFT

you will see Red Boxes... Using your mouse, you can now set the width and height of Chart which will reduce the gap on x-axis

2) Create two same expressions

For 1st Expression :

SUM(Sales)

Select Bar and untick Values on Data Points

For 2nd Expression

IF(GetSelectedCount(Customer)<>0,SUM(Sales),'')

Untick Bar Chart and Tick Values on Data Points

Here is you select any Customer, then only data points will appear....

Of course, you need to change your expression according to your need..

Select your bar chart and then Click on CTRL + SHIFT and move the dimensions of your bar chart

1) i assume there are negative values if you scroll to the right which means the zero level will be pushed up, not sure why the axis doesent show values below zero though.

2) on the presentation tab of properties you can set "Max Values Shown" for Values on data points, so its only shown when the number of bars is less than what you enter.

1. Use plot value inside the segment.

2. As yoann suggest click on chart and then press Ctrl + Shift for adjustment of the chart display area.

Hi Stephen,

Try selecting Force Zero for issue 1.

For issue 2 you may need to use Alternate States so it shows all bar, but the number only appear when you have selected them.

If you share a reduced version of the App I will try and help

Alan
