X axis starts at 1, not 0.

Hi, 

I am fairly new to looker. I'm trying to build a chart that displays key events over time. I'm fairly close, but can't seem to format the x axis the way I would like. Here is a pic:

I've tried "align both axis to 0" but nothing seems to work. Anyone know what I am missing?

0 2 77

It looks like you want to set the Y axis to start at zero, not the X axis.

In the Style tab, can you manually set the Y axis minimum to zero?

You can choose these type of Line chart:_0-1742549547121.png

 

It provides another function to separate the X-axis and Y-axis. Check below:_1-1742549633412.png

 

By the way, I don’t recommend adding too many metrics, especially when the data has significant differences in a single report. That can easily cause the issue you mentioned. Instead, separate the reports—it will also help readers understand the data more quickly
