Chart 1 - Project Completion Rate
This is an example of a carelessly truncated axis.
Download the starter file from Tableau Public and create this chart. You’re going to be creative with the y-axis and set it to start at 85% instead of 0%.
Columns shelf: Month field
Rows shelf: Project Completion Rate field
Mark Type: Line chart
Y-Axis: Right-click the axis, then choose Edit Axis. Select ‘Fixed’, and the start value is .85. Make sure “Include zero” is not selected.
Initially, Alex’s performance data appears misleading due to a carelessly truncated axis range. After you adjust the axis minimum to zero, it provides a true visual representation. Now, re-analyze Alex's results.
