Curious Case of the Missing Column

[Sethenvir]

Hi there,

 

Having a bit of an issue with a column on my chart not rendering and I'm not honestly sure why. The attached is a picture of how the graph is loading.

 

The below is the XML being used to generate this graph: -

<chart caption='Campaign Average Value' xAxisName='Send Date' yAxisName='Average Value (£)' showValues='1'  adjustDiv='0' outCnvBaseFontSize='10' labelDisplay='ROTATE' slantLabels='1' rotateValues='1' placeValuesInside='1'>

Our current theory is that that bar is simply too large in comparison with the other values present but..... I need the Y axis to scale up to it and render appropriately. I'm not imposing a limit on the Y axis max value either so..... thoughts?

 

Thanks for any help!

 

EDIT: The relevant Set node is on line 32 of the XML.

EDIT2: And of course this is using MS Column and Line 3d

Ok this can be closed, I found the issue. Someone had formatted the number being used for the Set Value using ToString("N2") and seems it doesn't like the thousand separator. Guessing it parses it to a number and having the literal character "," causes this to fail resulting in a 0 or null value.
