Combo chart customization

Hi, 

I'm stumped regarding the settings in my combo chart. As soon as I select a second KPI for the lines, the layout gets completely messed up.

Picture 1: everything is fine - the bars are of an adequate width, the date on the x-axis is displayed MM/YYYY (this format is set in the original dimension) and I could change the bar width settings in the chart settings if I wanted.

Picture 2: As soon as I select the percentage-KPI for the line, it suddenly looks like this:

The bars are just lines, the width-setting has vanished from the bar chart settings, and the month/year-format is suddenly changed into a full date. Also, the mini chart at the bottom can't be changed into a scroll bar, I can just select or deselect it. 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Corfiz !

I was able to reproduce your issue. I believe what is happening is that when you add the second KPI, Qlik automatically enables "Use continuous scale" on the X-axis, and that makes the bars thin, the date format changes, and the mini chart appears.

Try going to Appearance → X-axis → uncheck "Use continuous scale".

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I'd been scouring the settings and thought I had tried everything - that one must have escaped me!
