So, I created a simple app to record my workouts where I stand on either foot. When i combine the time together or separately, the Y Axis shows 5. ![Screenshot 2024-03-20 at 18-47-30 Heart Up · Glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/175ba933be5680da4525e5f6abee93b67ae2e2d3.png) ![Screenshot 2024-03-20 at 6.53.22 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/2/a278aeb36b56e530fa76df4a50b819d6bb4f0ab5.png) What can I do to reduce the white space between the Y Axis? ---

You would need to use a bit of CSS as Glide doesn’t have a way to control chart styling natively. ---

Ok, I guess I’ll have to… wait a bit then. 😉 ---

That can work too. Any idea? ---

If you don’t have a high range of data, I don’t know why the scale doesn’t reduce. I would resort to Quickcharts or Chart.js in this case. ---

Ok, so i found the solution. Previously i was using a Math column to get a time difference. After switching to Duration, it worked perfectly! ![IMG_2457](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/3/a35364c1993dac97802954a5b6488d96a8e69694.png) ---

Good to hear it works now, but even if it’s a math column I wonder why it didn’t work. Maybe the underlying numbers were so small and the built-in chart has a minimum number for it to work with. ---
