Thanks for your reply but the user want to see graphs.  So is that normal when the data values does not get displayed ?

yes, especially when their values differ by orders of magnitude. There is not enough screen real estate to truthfully render both values as bars.

    Thanks for your reply.  So it seems that I am stuck because the user do not want tables but rather graphs?  Do you there is any other visuals I can get in the market place that will cope with that or will this still be an issue with other market visuals ?

      The only option I could think of would be a logarithmic scale.  I am not sure your business users will like that though.

       

      Make them understand that what they are asking for is physically impossible, no matter what visual you use.  (Having said that I have seen crazy visuals like exploding pie charts that have extra details for the "other" slice)
