Hi
Would appreciate some help on why I can't see all the values displayed on the stack bar chart.
I have created a stack bar chart to show bill value broken down by task.
I have a total of 13, 699 broken down by :
Task 1 as 10,599 which is displayed correctly inside center bar
Task 2 as 2,544 which is displayed correctly inside center bar
Task 3 as 484 which is not displaying inside the bar as the bar is too small, only shows when I hover on the bar
Task 4 as 73 which is not displaying inside the bar as the bar is too small, only shows when I hover on the bar
I need to send this as a PDF for the client and they won't see the value displayed for Task 3 & 4
How can I get all the values to display correctly please, can I use another visual on the market place ? It works when I choose position to be "Outside End" but when I do that the value is displayed halfway on the bar and halfway outside and the reason for that is because I have quite a few other visuals on my page and there is not enough space for me to expand on the visual to make it big enough.
Use a table visual.
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)
Thanks for your help and taking the time to reply
