Line Chart issues Q9 SR6

[#1]

Hi Expert,

I have a Line graph chart with positive and negative values.There is a problem in line chart the negative values are ovelapping with the positive values. So very difficult to find what are the values are belongs to positive and what are the values are belongs to negative.

I heard its a kind of bug in Q9 SR6, could you pls confirm on the same.

Thanks,

In a similar situation, I advised to use bar chart instead of line chart.

No Michael, as per our requirement it should be in Line chart.

There is no reliable way to prevent overlapping when you have multiple lines with the numbers on data points. The possible approaches I can think of:
- do not show numbers on lines if there is more than one line
- use different type of chart with numbers (table, bar)
- if you have always exactly two lines, split axes.

As for the requirements - they should reflect business needs, and don't create situation where a minor nuance of visual presentation requires inadequate efforts to implement.

You're lucky, QV 10 by default looks different but ok.

You could use set analysis from version 8.50 upwards

=Count( {$<Status={'Closed'}>} Status)

Alex,

Will it be possible to show the values like what is there in 8.2 (Pls refer my screenshots)?

Assume that I am business user I am confusing about the chart.

Because the positive values are belongs to Red line or Green line. As per the graph, it says negative values belongs to Green and Positive values belongs to Red which is quite opposite.

Thanks,
