Dynamic Line and Scatter Continuous axis

 

I am trying to create a dynamic visual which is comparised of a series of discrete data points and also line data (which i have currently entered as a series of values too). I have used the Line chart visual to be able to do this. However I must have the axis set to "Discrete". This is causing a problem with the display of the values as each column width is set and does not sow the data distribution over time. 

 

A way to get round this is to set each data point on the line as a different day - showing all my other data well over time. However due to the number of data points this only allows me to see a very small portion of my data at once.

 

Any comments/advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

Hi there,

 

Output something like this. Where the horizontal line is a separate series of data and is not related to the scatter data. Both need to be dynamic and change with a selection of data (cannot just add a permanent horizontal line)

Hi @Anonymous 

It seems you may try to create two charts.Then overlap the line chart and the scatter chart.
