Hello, all.

 

I am attempting to make a layout in Filemaker that will be a dashboard report of sorts, comparing one time period's sales to a previous time period (user definable).  I have been able to gather the necessary information and display it as text on the layout with no problem.

 

However, what I also want to do is to create a few charts on the page which will display the relationship for a single criteria across the two time periods, but I want to have 4 or 5 of these charts on the page.

 

The problem I'm having isn't creating the chart, it's the fact that I can't seem to format the chart - no matter what I do, I end up with a chart that has a ton of white space around it and the Y-axis values are displayed on both sides of the chart.  This is leaving the actual columns that are displaying the data as a rather small graphic in the midst of a lot of white.

 

Is there any way to have more control over the way the chart is displayed in Filemaker? My Google-fu is weak today, and I have not been able to find anything of assistance when I have looked.

 

I've attached two snapshots - one of what I've been able to make in Filemaker, and one that is more of what I'm looking for, but created in Excel.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

The chart borders can be reduced by excluding the chart legend and decreasing the font sizes of the chart and axes titles. I don't know of a way to remove the double Y axis labels.
