Custom visual made with Charticulator not respecting scale

Hi, I tried to create a custom visual via Charticulator. It's a clustered and stacked column chart. Do someone know why my visual is not respecting the scale please? Here only deep blue rectangles...

    Hi Anonymous,

    At a glance, this sometimes happens when an object isn't snapped to a visual guide, however in order to investigate the issue, we'll need the raw file from Charticulator rather than the compiled Power BI custom visual. I did check the link in your OP but could only find the workbook and .pbiviz file.

    If you're able to provide the .chart file, I can take a look. If you're not sure how to do this, please review the Download as Chart section of their doc.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

Hi dm-p,

I made an attempt but I need the data sets (forecast and actual) on the same Y-axis., please see link here:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_-AtkI0RwzPCVYb7lf1w5oNCDlJaL6FQ. 

I suspect that I need to make a nested chart but do not manage to get the desired result, and have found no tutorials online for making a nested chart. Do you have any smart thoughts? 🙂 Or any recommendations on tutorials to solve this issue? (I can´t access the nested chart in your example, it´s blank, so can´t learn anything from there unfortunately)
Thanks,
Helena

    Hi Anonymous,

    There's indeed not many tutorials on Charticulator about, but as luck would have it, I published a blog post last week covering nested charts, which you might hopefully find useful. The scenario is for small multiples but still covers the concepts of nested charts in-general.

    Nested charts have a bug when you first open them, they appear blank and you need to do something to the canvas to make the layout appear. I've got a small section in the above post that covers this, as it took me a while to figure out; I typically drag a guide or something similarly non-destructive and the nested chart will appear. If you do this with my example it will definitely work so you can have a look into it further 🙂

    Regards,

    Daniel
