Hi All,

I opened a few days ago ... which was answered accordingly. I now have a follow-up to it ...

There are some graphs/bar charts which don't display enough visible area to fit any values (very small "slices", proportional to the other columns). What are some of the options we have to show some kind of a value for them?

I've uploaded a few examples below:

    Hi @Charles M

    I recall your original thread and from my experience, there isn't much that can be done to resolve this. You could try with playing with the graph size but I doubt that will make a difference.

    Not really. Playing with the scales won't help since it won't be dynamic anymore. At some point the engine will just drop bits and pieces because there's no space to render them.

    Ok, understood, thanks.

    Just grasping a bit here ... but, is it possible to have "mouse-over" capabilities or some kind of line/pointer, coming off the bar, with a value at the other end?

    Regards,

    It’s one or the other, either you have the values displayed (as you have now) or you have the values display when the mouse hovers over a bar.

    As Joel said it's either or.

    ....or D3 / visualization engine of your choice

    You've got an issue showing numbers on the chart -- you are also compounding the issue with using 3D charts ... remove the 3D charts - remove the red coloring (unless you are meaning to convey an alert) ... leave the default with the mouse over ... as non-3D will be easier to read the relative sizes a simple move of the mouse gives the detailed value.

    Ok, thanks all. Would be nice to have the "hybrid" option - some mouse over, some filled-in values. But, should be able to work out something with the business users, given the existing options.

    DV instead of OBI in general maybe?

    Hi Christian ..not sure what that means. What does 'DV' stand for?

    If you are looking for something like this with D3 ...I have shared the code here ...
