Idea: Bar/Line View - adjustable axis ranges/scales?

Would you please introduce the possiblility of adjusting Y axis scale in the new Bar/Line view. I'm trying to show employment and unemployment on the same chart but the movement won't be visible without tweaking the scale.
I've attached an example. - Thanks - Anna

Thanks for the suggestion.

Some workarounds:
- use a "formula" measure, e.g. to subtract 7000 (although your scales will be off)
- use a Graph view

Have a zoom in/out or fixed scale much like you can have in graph view.Especially usesful for when your plotting two(2) graphs which you cannot do in graph view but can do in bar/graph view, scales always start from zero(0) so really hard to see relationship of line movements when plotted as scale is so wide.

Thanks

Summary of this idea: allow origin to be off-screen for line plots, "zooming in" to show only Y axis range that the data varies across.

This feature has been implemented in 2.8 which is now available, click here for more information.

You will be able to fix the range by editing the minimum and maximum value in the "Custom axis range" menu under the Scale menu that is available in the Bar/Line view toolbar.

Welcome!
