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 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
