Custom number format for y-axis on Chart - charts

I have created a chart with 2 axes that acts as a panel chart (see image)
As a panel chart I only want to show the portions of the relevant y-axes to the chart next to them. For example, for the right-most y-axis I used a custom number format to exclude anything less than 0:
_(* #,##0_);_("";_(* 0??_);_(#_)
But for the left most y-axis, I'm stuck. I want to show -400 to positive 400. I've tried 2 different options, but neither is producing the desired effect.
[<0](#,##0);[>500000000]"";#,##0_)
[<0](#,##0);[<500000000]#,##0_);""
Here is the result I'm looking for:

I learned something new today (and a bit weird) regarding formats and chart axes
After some experimenting, this is what I ended up using:
[White][>500]_(#,##0_);(#,##0);0;
The odd part: When you change the Display Units of the axis (for me, millions), then the formatting no longer recognizes the original amount (500,000,000).
Once I figured that out, I was able to work out the solution.

Why does AWS CloudWatch dashboard widget does not respect scales when drawing two lines?

I'm new to AWS and CloudWatch.
Here is a screenshot of a CloudWatch dashboard showing two parameters related to a Dynamo table.
As you can see in the pop-up the value of the sample for the orange timeseries is 2,252 while the value of the sample for the red timeseries is 7,000, yet the red chart is drawn under the orange chart. If you check the scale on the left, it seems the red series is the one that get drawn correctly, while the line of the orange one is somehow "inflated".
Can you please help me understand what is the reason behind this?
It looks like your mouse hover point data and the popup data are out of sync. Just a UI glitch.
The popup is showing 09:57 and probably on the chart at 09:57 those are the correct values.
The hover point you chose is a particular peak and is at what time? The last digit is cut off from the display but it's definitely not a 7! Looks like "09:50" maybe?
Minor UI glitch is my diagnosis.
Eventually I come up with this different set up, where one of the series has values mapped on the left Y-axis, while the other series has values mapped on the right Y-axis.
The main drawback is that the two series are not directly comparable, but at least the difference in value is more evident.

Tableau bar chart looks different in worksheet vs. dashboard

Trying to make a cute little dual axis line and bar chart, time is continuous on x axis, value on y axis. For some visual flair (formatting still being worked on) I wanted to make banded columns to show months, which are not calendar months (454 system) and are therefore variable lengths of time.
I got it functionally looking how I wanted to on the worksheet. When dragged to a dashboard, even after a ridiculous amount of resizing, I get these weird lines. When I change the size of it, the lines change places.
Anyone have tips on getting these two graphs to look the same?

multiple stacked area charts nvd3 - errors

I am trying to create a dashboard with multiple area charts on the same page. I have two issues.
I want to get rid of the small circle on the chart that indicates value point and moves along with the cursor and the interactiveguideline. What is the name of that circle and how do I remove it?
After some research, I figured out how to change the Y-axis values to percentages. But I would like some graphs to show percentages and others to show regular numbers. Is there an easy way to do this?

SSRS sparkline with small difference in values

I have created a sparkline in SSRS. Since the values are small i get a straight line graph How do i improve the sensitivity of the graph.
the difference is like for every month
60.06
60.40
60.14
You need to look at the Sparkline Vertical Axis Properties.
Testing with data like yours and a simple Tablix/Sparkline I get results similar to yours:
Opening the Vertical Axis Properties I can see Always include zero is checked by default:
Unchecking this option has a major effect on the sparkline:
So this is one way of doing it. Other than that changing the Minimum and Maximum values here will also have an effect - you just need to play around and find the right combination for you.

Sigmaplot: How to scale x-axis for correctly displaying boxplots

I want to display overlapping boxplots using Sigmaplot 12. When I choose the scale for the x-axis as linear then the boxes do indeed overlap but are much too thin. See figure below. Of course they should be much wider.
When I choose the scale of the x-axis to be "category", then the boxes have the right width, but are arranged along each single x-value.
I want the position as in figure 1 and the width as in figure 2. I tried to resize the box in figure 1 but when I choose 100% in "bar width" than it still looks like Figure 1.
many thanks!
okay, I found the answer myself. In Sigmaplot, there is often the need to prepare "style"-columns, for example if you want to color your barcharts, you need a column that holds the specific color names.
For my boxplot example I needed a column that has the values for "width". These had to be quite large (2000) in order to have an effect. Why ? I have no idea. First I thought it would be because of the latitude values and that the program interprets the point as "1.000"s, but when I changed to values without decimals, it didnĀ“t get better.
Well, here is the result in color.
Have fun !
