PROBLEM

The ArcGIS Dashboards serial chart category does not display labels for all data

Last Published: December 22, 2022

Description

In ArcGIS Dashboards, a serial chart displays a series of data points along a horizontal (x) and a vertical (y) axis. However, in some instances, the serial chart category does not display the labels for all data. For example, the image below shows the number of homicides in each city in the US, but the labels for some cities are not displayed in the chart.
