Text in stacked bar when no data - how?
- 5 years ago
Honestly speaking, a bar of ZERO LENGTH next to bars of data pretty much sums it up. Why would you explicitly need to state: "There is no data for this member"?
Oh, let me guess, because 'that's the way they have seen it in the old system so they expect the same here.' How close am I?
If that's the case, then I will give you my honest suggestion, if you can: Cut your losses on this, go with what you can get, and try to wow the users with other features to make them forget about this extrememly minor shortcoming. Stuff like native support for mobile platforms, usage reports on the service, maybe even a Key Influencers grapph. Basically, convince the users that even though they can't see it THAT way doesn't make it a bad product.
Best of luck
Hi there,
Thanks for the follow up 🙂
I guess I can make a bar that is the full length of the max value and then make it black or something instead.
I need the blank one to be there as the users wanted to know it had been reviewed and there was just no data present. Its part of some audits.
Is there any way to do custom data labels in the standard visuals so I could change the text value? Or would I need a custom visual to do anything like that?
Cheers
