Graph Axis Autoscale Double Counting on X-Axis

Protonsponge

Hello,

I have a graph showing the number of projects under certain teams/criteria. At the moment there is only 1-2 projects for each criteria. When using a bar chart, I am seeing the scale double count as per below.

Has anyone seen this before and know the root cause?

Grateful for any shared experience,

This is expected actually. It is based on the scale of the data in relation to the size of the actual widget. Data with higher numbers or a smaller widget will fix this.

Can you share your underlying data and settings? This half looks like you have a scale that is actually 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and is then being displayed rounded to the nearest 1.

Thank you for the reply @Jgorsich - the data is a series of 1 and 2 (whole numbers) and so confused as to why the scale is showing up like that.

I have changed to a pie chart in the short term as a work around.

Thank you @Paul Newcome, that is helpful. Smaller widgets got me the scale I was looking for.

Grateful,

Happy to help. 👍️

In the past, I have added an extra data set that would output a higher number to force the scaling of the axis and changed the series to white so that it wouldn't be visible on the chart.

For anyone who finds this thread while checking scaling issues - it didn't click for me that it was caused by autoscaling, but I've actually used Paul's trick before to also force consistent adaptive scaling between multiple graphs on the same dashboard by including in each graph a white series that was equal to the maximum (and, as applicable, minimum) of any of the affected graphs. It is a handy way to ensure consistency and ease of interpretation between multiple separate graphs you are displaying in comparison to each other.
