User (Legacy) Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 My data looks like such: 2006-03-17 100% 2006-03-18 100% 2006-03-19 100% 2006-03-20 100% 2006-03-21 100% 2006-03-22 100% 2006-03-23 99.999965% 2006-03-27 100% 2006-03-28 99.999982% Using the curve gallery, between the 21st and the 22nd, the curving line goes up over the 100% line, even though there is no data up there. This is happening on another chart too where the highest value is .00072%, yet the line goes outside of the chart before going onto the next point. I also think the curve isn't being drawn when 2 consecutive points are both zeros. I've attached the 2nd one as a picture to this post. -Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 This is by design. Unlike Line Chart, The Curve chart tries to smooth the transition between points. This may mean, in some cases to go beyond the max value to then go to the next point, it all depends on what's before and what's after. In your case, the case is probably that since your scale is so small, the change from 100 to 99.999965 is pretty big, then to go back to 100, the curve needs to be flexed in order to make it smooth. If you simply want a line connecting your points without making smooth transitions, chose a Line chart instead. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com "Lori Adams" <ladams@cloudmark.com> wrote in message news:othUe4cWGHA.3132@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > My data looks like such: > 2006-03-17 100% > 2006-03-18 100% > 2006-03-19 100% > 2006-03-20 100% > 2006-03-21 100% > 2006-03-22 100% > 2006-03-23 99.999965% > 2006-03-27 100% > 2006-03-28 99.999982% > > Using the curve gallery, between the 21st and the 22nd, the curving line > goes up over the 100% line, even though there is no data up there.
