HELP: Line chart VALUES NOT COUNTS!

I'm having trouble here. Not sure what I'm missing. 

 

Scenario

  • Two tables; both have exact same column names
  • One table is forecasted values, other is actual values
  • Relationship screen shows 1-to-1 for both tables
  • There is a date column; both tables have the same dates
  • There is a temperature column; each table has different temps and I want to show the difference between tables

I can't figure out how plot the differences between the two charts on a line or stacked bar chart! When I pull temperature column of one table to the "Value" field of the visual, I get a "Count of Temperatures". I don't want a COUNT, I want to see all temperatures over the time period. 

So then I drag the time column to the "Axis" field of the visual. Cool, I get a time scale along the x axis with "100%" showing for each temperature COUNT.

 

Basically, how do I change the visual to show me the VALUE of the temperature column over time instead of the COUNT of temperature readings?


Thank you!

Hi @ericOnline,

 

Why did you use the 100% Stacked Column Chart while you don't like the % columns? Maybe you can use another visual instead. If you can share a sample file, please upload it to the cloud drive like OneDrive, GoogleDrive, then share the download link here.
