Time Dimension & Value not adding correct

Anamika

I have a model which has the time dimension (in days) and line items which are date formatted. I'm trying to create a chart which correctly replicated the progress of time change but for some reason any value is not mapping to the x axis of the chart. I have attached a picture for better understanding. In the picture you can see that no matter what the value is, the data point is always at 0 (i.e. 2024).

I am wondering if this is a system constraint or is there a work-around it?

I'm always wondering if the TIME dimension is being treated as a numeric value rather than a time value.

Thank you!

Can you share a screenshot of the pivot of the module view and also how the final data looks?

As you can see, the sales order is the selector (which is fine), but the Time dimension is improper on the chart.

The 2 line items (LC and FC) are date format line items.

@Anamika - Since your line item is Date format that's why the chart comes up this way. Try it out with a number format line item.

@Dikshant I understand that the data is coming incorrect because it's a date formatted. What would be the number equivalent of the date? I do not want to change the output (which is dates) for the charts. Hope this clarifies further, thank you :)

I think its due to the date format and needs a number format line item.

Workaround01: Possibly you can create a new line item and convert the date into number format using functions like DAY, MONTH, YEAR< TEXT, VALUE, so 01/01/2024 will look like 20240101, and based on this number, it might show the chart the way you're expecting.

Workaround02: Try other charts as well.

Try it out. Not sure of the result but let's see how it goes. I'll also explore this one!
