Default Line Chart Incorrect Data Display

Hi,

Not a lot of information to go, but try checking the line chart is not of
the stacked variety.

Cheers
Andy

Default Line Chart Incorrect Data Display

Hi Andy
Thanks so much for your quick response but I had read through the threads
and had already checked to see if it was a stacked linear chart. It was not.
I resolved the issue but probably not in the best way. When I clicked to
edit the Y axis, I saw that the maximum field was set to 1.2 so I just
uncheched that field and changed the value to 1.0 and it seemed to work.

Hi,

Not sure how setting the max to 100% has solved the problem. I think you
have just masked the problem by cutting the line so section above 100% is
not displayed. Of course the slope of the line will still be incorrect.

If you want to send example I will take a look.
