Remove empty subplots in Group X graph

[#1]

Good day,

I have a certain data of Y by X for a range of months and years. I would like to visualize this data without overlays, i.e. where each plot is located next to each other. (The reason is that real Y by X data may already contain several datasets overlayed).

Typically, I would add Year and Month as Group X variables. The problem is this creates a lot of blank "subplots" if there are no entries for each permutation of Group X variables. I would like to remove these empty "subplots".

 Other notes:

• I would like to use both Year and Month as Group X variables, and prefer not to create an additional variable "Year-Month".
• X and Y are typically continuous variables, Month and Year are typically nominal variables.

I'm using JMP 18.1.1.

Attached is the JMP table with a dummy data used for this example.

Creating combined column (like you suggested) is usually the easiest way to solve this fairly common issue you can (and will) come across with Graph Builder. There are some workarounds but they can be risky and will take some effort.

If I remember correctly, there are quite a few wishes about improving this in JMP Wish list.

A related wish, but not exactly the same:
 X group: restrict the values on the axis to the respective group

For date values on the X axis, one can activate Label Row Nesting:

here is a wish to implement a similar functionality for Group X/Y:
Label Row Nesting for Group X
