Chart: y-axis minimum?

I have a small spreadsheet that I'm trying to chart. All of the numbers run between 10,000 and 20,000. I have created the chart, but the Y-AXIS always starts at 0. Because of this scale, the fluctuation in the numbers appears small on the graph.
I'd like to tell the chart to only show the Y-AXIS between 10K and 20K instead of from 0 to 20K which would emphasize the fluctuation. Easy in Excel, no so intuitive in Numbers as I haven't been able to figure it out.
Any help?

Select the chart, open the Inspector and click the chart tab. The next-to-last item at the bottom of the Chart inspector window (Value Axis Format) allows you to set the minimum and maximum values of the Value axis, as well as the number of steps between these extremes.

Chart y axis scaling using msum

hi,
Is there any possibility to change the y-axis(sales- msum) range in the charts? I did search, but couldnt find the proper answer for this.
Let us say I have my y-axis sales range 0 - 1million, but dont have any values under 0.8million. So I want to keep my chart y-axis range starts from 0.8million. I have the sales in the chart that is calculated using msum.
Is there any such option to customize the y-axis scale ?
Thanks,
Mani

Hi Mani,
You can do that by setting minimum value and maximum value in Axis scaling tab(middle tab in 5 tabs for chart ) in chart view.
Thanks

Pivot Chart X-Axis Values

Hi
I generated one report using pivot char. In pivot chart row page i added datetime and time field.
In my chart x axis should be display time label only. But values should be group by Date.
How to set x axis time value only in my chart.
If i removed date from row page the value will be wrong.
Thanks

Hi,
You can retain both the datetime and time field so that your group by date option doesnt get effected.
When it comes to display..To have only time value in the X axis heading as well as Scale labels. Please follow the following steps.
1. Heading: Pivot table View : Axis titles and labels : Change the title
2. Scale Labels: Pivot table View : Axis titles and labels : Labels : Format : Truncate : 6.
By Truncating the labels. You may get two dots in the end of each label. But hope this may help you.

Can't remove decimals from chart value axis

After several hours trying to create a simple bar graph in Pages and the same in Numbers (iWork '08) for a class assignment, I am at a loss. To any kind soul who can help, I will be very grateful.
Here is the dilemma.
In Numbers as well as trying this in Pages '08, I selected a blank document, clicked on the Chart icon, and in the Chart Data Editor I entered titles for 2 rows, and title for 3 columns along with their values. Then in the Chart Inspector I entered the following values under Value Axis Format: minimum= 3, Maximum= 26, and Steps=9.
I Need to have along the y-axis (the left column, from bottom to top) the numbers starting from 3 up to 26, in increments of 3, i.e. 3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24 and at the top 26.
I have the correct sets of columns which is: 3 sets of bar graphs (2 bars side-by-side, 3 sets).
The problem I have is that I NEED the left column of numbers, my y-axis, to be whole numbers. But Pages keeps converting them into whole numbers with 3 decimal places to the right. How can I fix this? I also keep running into a problem when entering values in Minimum-Maximum-Steps, in which I'll put 26 or 27 as a Maximum, 3 in Steps, and the Max changes to something like 96. This happens a lot, although the number changes to different values than what I enter. My Chart is a standard chart, not a stacked chart. I've tried searching and find no answers to this. And I do need the step increments to be exactly as I stated. There must be a way. I tried it in Excel 2002, and was able to do the entire chart in about 5 minutes. Numbers must be able to do this, I'm not even using calculations or formulas.
I would insert a picture of the way the chart needs to look here, but I don't know how to do that in Posting this question.
In God's Harmony,
RODDY

It would be useful to give us the used values so we may give you a response.
I made a test with this setting:
Minimum 5.0
Maximum 9.5
Steps 5
and I got: 5.0, 5.9, 6.8, 7.7, 8.6, 9.5
which is perfectly correct.
It's our duty to check that ((Maximum - Minimum) / Steps) * 10 is an integer.

Pivot chart vertical axis label show percentage

Hi All,
I have a pivot chart showing percentage of the row. the vertical axis label can only show 0, 1, 2; I change it to specify value with 'Minimum' 0 and 'Maximum' 1.
Wondering how to show vertical axis label with minimum 0% and maximum 100%, instead of 0 and 1.
Thank you,
Ling

Hi lets try once like this,
In Pivot table go to edit view-Position-Graph only-Edit graph properties-click on scale tab-Axis Limits-in drop down list select specify. Here u can select minimum and maximum scale.
Please mark if it help you.....

Pivot table charts Y axis scale

Hi,
My Pivot Table creates 6 charts as my Dimension in Section for Pivot Table has 6 values. But each chart depending on the values for Y axis has a different scale, for example my first chart has $0.000, $4.000, $8.000, $12.000, $16.000, $20.000 my second chart has $0.000, $15.000, $30.000, $45.000, $60.000, and my 3rd chart has a whole set of different numbers, is it possible for me to make all the charts have the same values in my Y axis, even if my graph is going to look odd(thats what the client wants)?
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi
We can give the minimum axis value and max value for axis.Give this min and max for all the charts and try.In pivot view top left corner-->Axis scaling-->mark specify manually and mark max and min and give values.Hope it will helps u.
Thanks

Limit range of chart value axis

I'm sure this is blindingly obvious, but I can't figure it out. I have a simple line chart (graphing dollar values), and I want to limit the range of the value axis. Specifically, I want to raise the minimum value displayed to somewhere near the smallest data value, so that my curve isn't flat across the top of the graph. If I enter a number into the Minimum field under Value Axis Format in the Inspector, the vertical axis labels all collapse to the bottom of the chart.
I can't imagine that what I'm trying to do is at all uncommon - how could it possibly be this hard?
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
Well, I have to say that what you show is exactly as you described. I've never seen that and have no idea what might cause it. I can only offer a few bits of general advice. Run software update and make sure you have the latest update for Numbers 08, Restart your computer, try to duplicate the problem in an fresh Numbers document. If a fresh document works properly, copy your content over, keeping track of your additions so you can try to identify the content that causes the problem should it reappear.

Value Axis: Minimum locked at 0

Inspector > Chart > Axis > Value Axis Format > Minimum throws away any changes I make. I can successfully adjust Maximum and Steps. Minimum is locked at 0.00. This will force me back to Excel for this bit of charting work I need done. :/

Hi Garthk,
Welcome to the Numbers discussions.
My bet is one of your Y axis data points amount is zero. Numbers doesn't allow Minimum to be more than the lowest data point.
To test this I created a chart setting a Y axis data point to zero, Numbers wouldn't allow the minimum to be raised. As I raised that cell amount the minimum increased as well.
Hope this helps you. If I've missed your meaning please post back with more information.
Sincerely,
RicD

Chart Data Axis (Y) Scale - keep constant over groups, dynamic for report

Crystal XI
I want to chart how many transactions there are at a teller, showing number of transactions per hour, with a separate chart for each day in a range that the user specifies at run time through paramaters.
So I group on date at report level, and make my chart on change of hour show count of transactions, and that works.
But using autoscale, EACH CHART is scaled on the Y axis, so for a day that has a peak of 5 tx per hour, that hour reaches top of chart, where next day, there is an hour with 100 tx. So you can't tell at a glance that day 2 was busier than day 1.
I like the auto scale, but I'd like it to consider the report for the scaling. Is there a way to do that? Or do some chart types let me do it and others don't? (I've looked at Bar and Area charts)
I can't use a fixed scale, because different customers have wildly different typical numbers. (I could use a dynamically calculated fixed scale, but I don't see that that's an option) If there's a way to use a formula for the data scale, I'm missing it, and that would probably solve my problem.
Assuming I'm out of luck there - I can change the query as necessary, and I suspect I'm giong to have to use some gimmick like chart my maximum value in invisible ink, if someone's been down the road and knows a solution, if you can give me a quick hint on that, I'd appreciate it.

If all else fails, you can do this easily with our CRChart add-in using the @SC family of macros which allow you to set the Y-Axis scale min/max dynamically (i.e. map them to a field or formula at runtime).

Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

Hi Guys,
     In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted. Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
     And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
     Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series. The solution is at this link:

I am drawing a bubble chart with two types of axes: Linear and Log. The bubble points do not get plot correctly in case of Log Axis. Linear axis show fine though.
Any clue why it might be showing wrong ?
Thanks,

I got the solution myself !!!
I was using Flex 4 SDK which has this bug in LogAxis. I used Log Axis of Flex SDK 3.0 and it ran perfectly fine.:)

Stacked bar chart x axis crunching up

Post Author: Pranab
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have purchased Crystal Xcelsius Workgroup 4.5. I have created a dashboard in which I have used webservices call to get data from database.
One of the three charts of my dashboard is a stacked bar chart. Now my problem is, when the webservice gets data and refresh the chart, the x-axis of it becomes squeezed and the main chart becomes very small. It becomes so in runtime. However in design mode i didnt notice such behavior.
But same flash file s showing fine when I am using it somewhere else.
I am facing big trouble, as I tried to search in web about this problem, but couldnt find such case.

Flex chart x-axis data spacing

hello
i am using flex chart line series and column series. i want
to display 100 data points, with different dates along the x-axis,
but i don't want all 100 points to be displayed at the same time as
the x-axis dates will not be readable. i want to have a fixed space
between each x-axis point and the user then scrolls along the
chart.
i read the API but do not see any way to add the x-axis
spacing?
also how i do put more data information, with each data point
if a mouse if placed over it, not just the X & Y data points.
thank you for any assistance.
Tony

you mentioned about using min/max values on the x-axis. That
is a good solution except i would then need to add buttons to say
,show the next 30 days.
I really want to to show 90days of data data, with say 30
days appearing at once, and the user just scrolls to see the rest
of the days data without having to press buttons for more data. Any
idea how i can do this?

Display Column Chart Y Axis Labels in Kilo(K), Million(M)...

Hi Folks,
I would like to display the Y-axis labels of a column chart in Kilo, Millions etc. I used the below mentioned formula in excel for that set of data. Here is the formula [>=1000000]0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
Though in embedded excel it displays the values as desired, when I assign them to the column chart in Xcelsius the Y axis labels are not as expected. For Kilo it works fine but when it comes to millions it is not displaying accordingly. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sukumar

Hi Sukumar,
If You want to display the Y Axis Labels like Kilo(k),Million(M),Billions(B)...etc.Do the following things ,
goto column chart properties->behaviour->scale in that Enable the Fixed Label size checkbox.

Ramana
