Chart - Y axis is not scaling and always show min. 5

[majaovergaard]

Anyone else experiencing this or knows how to change it?

I am building a chart which has values between 0 and 1. However, the chart’s Y-axis seems to have a default minimum value of 5.

Tried to narrow it down to the most simple scenario:

The data

The chart

Seems like it is a bug in my opinion. Anyone else also seeing this behaviour?

Hmm. I don’t think we have control over that.

Can replicate.

I would say it is not a bug but not that well designed

Men god vind fra Cph

@majaovergaard could you go for percentage or the like to get greater values ?

Just found this as well:

Something happened to bar charts

So there are always seven numbers on the y-axis, the math calculates what numbers to show based on the data it’s given. The reason it looked nice above is because it’s the numbers from 0-6 so it was exactly 7 numbers. It seems like now, the max number is 5 in your data so it’s trying to get 7 numbers from 0 to 5 so that it can fit the bars. This is why there are decimal numbers.

Confirms it’s not a bug, but indeed not very well designed.

Hmm… what a bummer! I’ll redesign accordingly then.

Agree that this should have been better. You can customize charts by building it on Quickcharts, though.

Quickchart.io: the Cloudinary of Charts —on the fly charts!

GAME CHANGER! Stumbled upon this site today—a way to create on the fly charts using data from your Glide tables. Images render instantly and you can select one of 14 different charts, customize colors, styles etc all through URL parameters! The video below shows my first attempt to create a chart from scratch and implement it in Glide. Took me less than 5 minutes. End result: [Screen Shot 2020-09-17 at 10.10.46 AM]
