Y axis is wrong in Graph Builder

EmmaRose — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:28:46 GMT

Day1	0
Day2	0.008
Day3	0.008
Day4	0.010
Day7	0.010
Day8	0.011
Day9	0.012

I want to plot a simple figure: Day vs Weight with Graph Builder. But the y axis looks incorrect. It uses my data value in axis, and I can't change it to, e.g. 0, 0.004, 0.008, 0.012...

Your Time column appears to be a Character column, not a Numeric column. Go into the Col Info dialog and change the Data Type to Numeric, and the Modeling Type to Continuous

Thanks for answering my question. I changed what you suggested, unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

Check the Modeling Type on your weight column. I think you'll see that it's either Ordinal or Nominal. Change it to Continuous and the axis will be numeric and continuous also.

Hi Jeff,

My weight column is continuous. I just found out that I have value ordering in my column property. Once I removed it, the y axis became normal. Thank you for your help!
