Solved: Questions about the new charts feature - Page 2

I love the charts feature that’s in beta, it works really good for my apps because I have been using quickcharts to create energy performance charts.

I’m still working on understanding how the new tool works but I’m hoping someone will know whether what I’m hoping to do is be possible.

Can I create charts with multiple axes? I’d like to be able to recreate this.
I’d also like to create charts using 15 minute interval data for solar production and energy consumption which are 2 separate sheets. I plan on having a chart with 1 week of 15 minute intervals which is 672 data points.
How can I adjust the colors of the fields?
Can I capture the chart as an image and include it on a document template? I know this isn’t possible with legacy charts.

Charts with multiple axes : not at the moment, to my knowledge
charts with 15 minutes interval ==> probably. You will have to play some tricks to display datas properly, with a column “timestamp”. You will probably need to use some actions to copy datas from your 2 sheets into a 3rd one that will support all the datas you plan to display. However, because you don’t want to display the same unit informations, I’m afraid you will need to keep on 2 separate charts, maybe one above the other
I’m afraid colors in the new chart feature are not adjustable at the moment.
Capture Charts as images : yes you can, you will need to use the SNAPSHOT() expression. Please see : SNAPSHOT() | AppSheet Help Center
