Dual Axis Graph Formatting
complete
Nahid, Mir Mahmud
Hi Tim, I have an unrelated question for you. I was trying to format a dual-axis graph. The Dual-axis graph did not allow me to choose a particular color, rather choose from only the palette. The other issue I am facing is to change the format of the data to appear as a percentage, but despite choosing the appropriate type in the pane for each field, it is still showing as decimal, not percentage. Can you suggest a way to overcome these issues?

Going to take the essence of this thread and make a video about debugging formatting when it doesn't appear to work very well.

A great video suggestion here on formatting and why it doesn't always work.

Great suggestion and thanks for taking the time to post this here following my reply on Youtube. Do you have an image you can share in the replies just to get a better view of the challenge you're having?
When you can only choose from a palette it suggests that a palette is applied i.e. its continuous scale so it's letting only letting you change one colour but using a gradient or the colour is from it's set and you can only choose from a limited set.
% formatting can be done in a couple of places. I often fight with this too so I think there's a nice video in here. I've attached an image here with some steps you can try for the percentage.

Nahid, Mir Mahmud: Looks like you're on the pane formatting are you trying to change the axis formatting? if so can you switch over to the axis tab and try changing that?

Nahid, Mir Mahmud: Perfect. I think this is the first use case of a conversation thats worked better than the youtube Comments section and we also have a video suggestion out of it! Glad we were able to help.
