PROBLEM

The ArcGIS Dashboards serial chart does not display an exact data count

Last Published: July 21, 2023

Description

Serial chart types, which include bar charts, line charts, and smooth lines, are elements used to display different data types. When hovering over a data point, the data count information is displayed. In some cases, the serial chart on ArcGIS Dashboards does not display the exact data count or value present in the attribute table, but displays an approximate value instead.

The image below demonstrates the problem; a bar chart displaying rounded integer values with a prefix instead of an exact data count.
