Worksheet to Dashboard issue

Jay Smith Dec 14, 2015 7:12 AM

I have created a chart in a worksheet. I have the chart (date field) set on discrete because there are a lot of years in the data. This works fine on the worksheet. When I go to drag and drop the worksheet over to my dashboard it automatically switches to the continuous view on the dashboard which bunches the years up where its hard to read. I want the view to be discrete so I can move the sliding bar to view whatever year I want to see from the dashboard. Can you not have a chart in discrete view while placed on a dashboard?

Thanks

Jay

Hello Jay,

Can you post some screenshots of what you are seeing/experiencing?

This is strange behavior (If I am understanding correctly). Dashboards shouldn't affect the Pills on a sheets like that.

Hello Jay,

Do you have the Sheet set to Entire View?

If so, you will want to change it to "Fit Height".

It isn't changing it to Continuous, rather it pushing everything together, and the formatting is coming out not as intended.

Let me know if that doesn't resolve the issue.

Regards,

Rody
