Title: Gauge chart does not show the pointer! Help!
Post by: lorenmario on 03 Feb 2014 11:57:09 AM
Hello,

I need some help to develop a simple gauge graphic.
I need to display a gauge for each store, and show the precise pointer for the indicator "% Mês Atual".

Sounds simple, but the pointer does not appear on the chart, I've tried several different ways, but it does not work.

I have attached the attached report, please help me!
Thank you!

Hi,

You appear to have coded the gauge in such a way that the percentage value (in this instance) cannot be shown - it looks like you have set your gauge axis range manually to a minimum of -1 (-100%) and a maximum of 1 (100%). Since your percentage value is 1.868 (186.8%), it is beyond the maximum value your gauge can display because of the axis ranges defined. This is why you don't see a needle on the gauge.

Hi MF,

Yesterday I was testing various types of rollup aggregate function and found that using the maximum function the result was what I expected.

Thank you!
