Charticulator - setting Y Axis maximum value using a measure?

I've recently started learning Charticulator, and except for a few niggles (like being unable to change a symbol color once created), I love the customisation possibilities. One thing I'd need is th...

Thanks for coming back to me.

Seeing as I have multiple plots on top of each other (I know only 2 in the file I sent), I need to find a way to align the Y axis. They're all set to manually start at 0, so this side is fine, but I also want to align the max. Not via a slicer, but via a measure that would calculate the max for the chart that would have the bigger fluctuation.

So in the screenshot you provided, how do I set the value 60 to be dynamic pls?

IfF this isn't possible, is there a way to use a generic Y axis that I could reuse for multiple charts?

 

thanks

Hey Anonymous, 

 

Did you manage to find a solution? I want to do the same and have multiple series on the same Y-Axis - but can't find a way to make it work. 

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

    Hi sstockda 

     

    I'm afraid no. Another project has taken priority so this has been left for now.

    I'm thinking of whether I should create a measure that calculates axis elements up to the maxmum of all series and use this as a Y axis (pretty much the way the date axis is separate from each measure annd pulled from a separate Dates table) but not sure how to ensure each value exists in the Y Axis values table...

    Do post an update here if you manage to achieve "our" goal

      I have the same question. I would assume it should be the first problem anyone would encounter when having more than one plot segments. I have two lines that are not categories (two distinct measures), and they need to be plotted on the same XY space, but inevitably the second plot segment will show a different Y range than the first one.

      Any help would be valuable!
      Thanks!
