Specific Axes

[#1]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a design issue i'm facing.

I currently have a graph that repsent a %. Here is an example.

The numbers (293 - 379) are the trip number. This graph includes all dates.

I currently need to put a visual cue or something that would let me identify from different years.

Here is an rough example of what i would wish to have.

Does anyone knows how i can do this??

When I try to use Year as a dimension, this is the result.

As you can see, it stacks the graph, and i needed grouped. Also the Years are Wrong, even tho the year is a field on the same database.

Any ideas??

thanks,

KR

The approach I take is to add an extra expression (but promote it to first)

=if(Year <> above(Year), Year, '')

That will draw a bar in January of each year. Check "Values on Data Points". Put the expression on the right axis and hide the axis. You'll get something that looks like this:

You can get very fancy by positioning the label in the middle, using horizontal lines (Combo chart) instead of bars, bar offsets, arrows. For example, below is a single combo chart. You can see the details of creating it in this tutorial:
