How to align vertical axis on line and stacked column combo chart

[Patrickwhelan44]

Hi,

I am having trouble aligning the two verticle axis on a line and stacked column chart. I want the values to use the same grid lines, as opposed to the right hand axis having its own markers. Do anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi there -- a year too late, but if you're still looking for a solution, here's what works beautifully.

1. Repeat the Column Values measure in the Line Values well.

2. So you get columns in the background, and 2 lines. Notice both axis are now in sync.

3. Make the "unwanted" line measure white. 

4. In the SHAPES section, turn on CUSTOMIZE SERIES.

5. In the dropdown, select the "unwanted" line measure and change its stroke width to 0.

Hey, since there is no proper solution, here is a workaround:

Drag a copy of Your “Actual metric” (the one you're showing on columns) to line values as well and use Formetting pane "Customize series" option to make it as invisible as possible not to distract. You need also have "Allign zeroes" turned on, and start and end values for axis left blank/auto.

I hope I helped 🙂

Hi @Patrickwhelan44,

According to your screen shot, both of Y axis values are whole number type. Maybe you can try to set the same range for Y axis(column) and Y axis(line) and check if that setting can achieve your requirement:

1. Select the line and stacked column chart

2. Navigate to "Format" pane and find the Y-axis labels

3. Set starting point and end point for both Y axis(Column) and Y axis(Line)

Best Regards

@Patrickwhelan44 , I think you can turn off the secondary axis

@amitchandak  Thank you for your reply. I still want the secondary axis. I would just like them to be aligned. Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks

@Patrickwhelan44 , I doubt there is an option. You can give the start and end values, as the same. But that means visual axis will not change even when you apply filter
