Hello, I have a set of data that if correct should present to form limit lines. For example one set might be:
y-axis x-axis
#amount amount
15 100
15 600
30 1,200
30 1,400
Idealy for the limit lines to present correctly the line would be connected from 100 to 600 then disconnected from 600 to 1200 and connected from 1200 to 1400.
All I can get is them the apear in point forms or one whole line. Is there a way, what should i try.
Any and all help is greatly apriciated, thanks
Collin.

Hi Collin,
So how can we or the graph know which dots should be connected and which dots shouldn't be connected?
Maybe there is a workaround that adds a new column to group these dots. Please download the demo and give it a try.
1. Create a column.
Column = if([X] <= 600, 1, 2)
2. Add it to the legend.
Best Regards,
Dale
Thankyou Dale that Worked,
One more thing,
is there a way to have a diffrent or added legend to the graph without changing the data.
the graph looks good but would like the legend to catagorize diffrently.
thanks for the help.

Hi Collin,
So what's the result you expect?

The x and y values line up with a units column, so if you had:
y-axis x-axis
units #amount amount
1 15 100
1 15 600
2 30 1,200
2 30 1,400
id like the legend to show the 1s and 2s not the Y vaules.
Thanks for replying, -Collin

yes, Thankyou, that equasion was exactly what i needed.
I have another question. I have a graph that looks like this currently .
This is the data for the chart above-------------
ID | Frequency | Requirement Level | Values in chart |
1 | 1 | 70 | point 1 |
1 | 15 | 106 | ? |
1 | 30 | 106 | ? |
1 | 15 | 96 | ? |
1 | 30 | 96 | ? |
1 | 30 | 106 | ? |
1 | 400 | 96 | point 4 |
I would like it to show all 7 points and not sum diffrent things. i have made the frequency and requirement columns set to not sum from the modeling tab. "values in chart " is not part of graph.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Collin,
How about applying the same trick on this topic? If it can't work, I would suggest you create a new thread in this forum. One topic, one post. Please also mark the proper answers as solutions. Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Dale
