Resolve Scale Independent... but only for one layer?

Is it possible, if I have a chart with several layers, to make the y-axis for only one of those layers to scale independently from the rest but leave the others with a shared scale? I have a several layers of bars that I want scaled the same, but I have one line that needs to have its own y-axis scale. If I use

"resolve": {"scale": {"y": "independent"}}

the bar marks all become independent of each other and don’t keep the same relative scaling that they need.

A quick explanation of what you are seeing in the screenshots below:

  • The green bars and dark blue bar are the same layer with conditional logic going on in the code to make the last year show in blue instead of green.

  • The light blue and gray bars are each separate layers/marks which is what is causing this issue since I need them to share the same y-axis scaling as the other bars.

P.S. I know a PBIX file would help. I will try to work on that, but it’s going to take a while to scrub the data and get rid of a bunch of extraneous other elements. In the meantime, any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi @Dave. AFAIK, scales are either fully dependent (the default) or fully independent (as you noted with the Y-axis, “resolve”: {“scale”: {“y”: “independent”}}). I’m not clear on what you’re going for; as this is a simple graphic, could you create a mockup screenshot (from, say, PowerPoint) of your desired outcome, then review again once your sample PBIX and data are available.
