Scaling

The default setting automatic scales the diagram according to the Min and Max values from all data to be displayed. 

Alternatively, you can manually set min/max scaling values for absolute and percentage values under manual. Chart min values > "0" intersect the value axis. 

Synchronize

Comparison Group

You can use the Comparison Group to scale several charts identically. When you assign a Comparison Group, Overlay is displayed in the diagram.
Assign an identical group abbreviation for all diagrams concerned. Now the minimum and maximum of the data basis of this group is used.

Comparison Group in Power BI:
Use unique abbreviations. For example, "ReportName_AA" instead of just a letter like "A" or "B". Otherwise, the Comparison Group may not synchronise in the reports.


This function is not supported by Tableau Desktop.

Synchronize Padding

Specifies whether the padding should be taken from the Comparison Group or whether it should be determined independently for the diagram.

Synchronize Scaling

Specifies whether the scaling should be taken from the Comparison Group or whether it should be determined independently for the diagram.

Synchronize Axes Position

Specifies whether the axis positions should be taken from the Comparison Group or whether they should be determined independently for the chart.

Outliers

Use Outlier Threshold

If the Outliers property is activated, the manually defined value from which outliers are displayed is used.

short - long

Here you select how outliers are displayed. In short mode, the outliers are displayed as small triangles on the axis. In long mode, however, the outliers are displayed over the entire available area, according to IBCS rules.

Size [px]

The size of the outlier character in pixels.

Negative/Positive Threshold

With automatic scaling, this is the value up to which everything in the diagram scales automatically. If a value in the data exceeds this limit, this value is not used for the maximum calculation. All values above this value are then displayed accordingly as outliers.

Negative/Positive Threshold Percent

Same function as Negative/Positive Threshold, but for percentage values in the deviation diagrams.

Scaling Helper

Here you can activate and define if the Scaling Helper appears as a line or area.

Value

Enter the value for the position of the Scaling Helper here.

Line Color

Use the Color Picker or a HEX code to define the color of the line (Line Color).

Bar Line Width [px]

Specify the line width of the Scaling Helper in pixels.

Area Color

Use the Color Picker or a HEX code to define the color of the area (Area Color).
