Funny Line Graph Results

Hi i am trying to plot a line graph for two different vendors and how there unit prices for the same part varied over time. However, when the unit price is the same, the data points are plotted on the same date on the graph, thus showing incorrect interpretation of the pivot table data.

I inserted this screen shot with highlighted figures to better explain what the problem is. The highlighted dates on the pivot table are missing from the line graph.

Does someone know what this is happening?

Thanks

I think you need to fix your first dimension here.

You currently have

=Aggr(Max(Date([PO Date])), UnitPrice)

and need to change it to

=Aggr(Max(Date([PO Date])), VendorID, PartID, UnitPrice)

I suggest to share a demonstrative sample. Have a look here: Preparing examples for Upload - Reduction and Data Scrambling

This is because you calculated the max date aggregating against the Unit Price. What is expected output?

Your are right Amit. The aggr function was incorrect and is now working perfectly fine.
