Charticulator Histogram with Spec Lines
Hello everyone,
First time poster, long time reader. So the python visual I was originally using is no longer being supported by the Power BI service (already opened a support ticket) but regardless, my boss is fed up and wants me to use/create a new visual as we have a lot of data and the python visual was pretty slow/sometimes timed out. Thus, my attempt at Charticulator began. First off, this is what I'm trying to re-create:
Pretty slick, right?
I finally got the Charticulator looking good, but then I noticed that my x-axis was off on my data:
I assume this is becasue I have two glyphs. One is my x-axis with the lower spec (ls), target, and upper spec (us) while my other glyph are the bars itself. I'm sure this is the source of my issue, but I cannot seem to find a way to solve it (on day 4 of searching the web/trying different things).
Does anyone know how I can have two glyphs that use the same x-axis in Charticulator? If not, does anyone have a non-python/non-R histogram with Spec limits developed?
P.s. I've looked at the import visuals histograms and one doesn't have spec lines, and the other has a limit on the amount of data it can process. This visual also needs to be able to be quite small. Any help would be appreciated!
In one of the recent updates, they have changed the Column Cluster chart to have X-axis constant lines, so I am using a measure to have those be my spec lines now! So I technically did not solve the answer of two glyphs using the same axis, but if anyone else is looking for a histogram, it now is just the column cluster chart.

AbigailCole I hardly used charticulator, can you check on the formatting pane if there is an option for the x-axis to change continuous and category? Try changing that and see if it works.

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos to whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
The formatting page for Charticulator is quite different since you can build a lot of different visuals with it, so sadly that is not an option for this visual. Thank you for responding!
