In azure IoT central, there are 3 modes of visualization:
1) Stacked
2) Unstacked
3) Shared
I understood stacked but what is the use for Unstacked and Shared?
What is meant by this "A graph for every measure is plotted against one Y-axis, but the values for the Y-axis are changed based on the highlighted measure."
Unstacked:In this visualization mode, every measure is plotted against the Y-axis, but the scale is not fixed, it will be changed when you focus the measure to highlighted in the graphic.
Shared Y-axis: It means every measure is plotted against one Y-axis, and the scale for Y-axis is fixed, it would not change. For example, if you are comparing the temperature of two device over the past day, you can create a chart that shows the temperature for each device on a single chart with the same X and Y axes.
The main difference between Shared and Unstacked mode is the scale of Y-axis, one is fixed while another one is dynamic.You can compare the difference from the following image.

Below is a scatter chart that displays two data sets using excel. the blue data set are observed(actual) location coordinates of detected small cars on a world plane. The orange data set represent the same location coordinates, however reconstructed using inverse mapping process which consists of many processes like camera calibration, finding camera pose, etc.
So my question is
is there a way i can connect every blue point with its correspondent orange one in Excel ?
Thanks in Advance
Apologies for misunderstanding problem.
We will will start by creating two series, one for observed and another for reconstructed.
We then create a new series for each observed and reconstructed pair. Each of these series will have a line connecting them.
We then order the series such that the first two series we created, of the observed and reconstructed data sets, are brought to the front.
I have 3 data sets, captured with time stamp. I want to plot the data sets based on time stamp, following the passage of time. Pls refer to the attached picture.
plots(1): simply inserted the chart using the data (A1: D16), with the primary axis for y1 and y2, and the secondary axis for y3, and all the plots are contrary to the passage of time.. I want to change the plots following the passage of time (that is, older data to the left and newer data to the right), so that all plots are shown following the passage of time (monotone increasing)..
plots(2): so, I checked the check box "categories in reverse order" in the Format Axis settings. But this reverses x axis and the plots for y1 and y2 using the primary axis (GOOD), not the one for y3 using the secondary axis (BAD), so I have two plots following the passage of time, and one reversing the passage of time.,
Could someone let me know how to solve it to have all plots which are monotone increasing? Any solutions with/without VBA would be OK. Thanks in advance for your help.
Each axis has it's own 'format axis' option. left click the axis (right or left), right-click>>format axis. Choose the axis options >> values in reverse order.
Please have a look at This Excel chart. Here is a screenshot:
Here is the data:
There is a scatter series of blue of dots (plus a trendline) and a green area series. The chart data are contained within the series.
The problem I have is that the x-axis values of the two series are not aligned. For example, the second and third blue dots at x = 3.1 and x = 3.8 are in the correct place along the x-axis, but in the green area series they appear to be above x = 2.0 and x = 3.3. How to fix this?
Change the Scatter to a Line Chart, then format Line Color so that there is "No Line". Add trendline.
There may be another way to do this while retaining the Scatterplot, I'm not sure, but this seems to be visually what you're looking for, but I think you will need to use a Line Chart for this unfortunately. The problem is summarized in this similar Q on SuperUser:
https://superuser.com/questions/964264/aligning-stacked-bar-chart-w-scatter-plot-data
The short answer is that your combining (unsuccessfully) a categorical series (the columns) with interval/ratio series (the line charts). So, Excel doesn't know how to plot your categories (columns) on an interval scale (the current X axis).
You can verify this by selecting Chart > Layout > Axes > Secondary Horizontal Axis > More Secondary Horizontal Axis Options. Without making any changes to the axes configuration, the second X-axis will now appear along the bottom of the chart, and you can see it is scaled differently from your Scatter data.
I.e., in the Scatter series, the data is X/Y pairs. But in your Area chart, it treats the X-values as categorical, and in this context "1.1" is no different than "Bob" -- it is a cardinal representation of the data rather than an ordinal representation.
The problem I have is that the x-axis values of the two series are not aligned.
So even though the two series appear to share the same set of X-Values, the Chart is simply incapable of treating those as the same type of data. The x-axes are not aligned because they are not the same data or even the same type of data!
All that said, if you change both series to XY Scatter, it is possible (with some extraordinary effort) to apply shading/coloring below a series or between two series, etc.

What you can do is plot the Area graph on a secondary axis. Then go to Chart -> Layout -> Axes -> Display Secondary Horizontal Axis to see the axis, right click for its properties and change the type of the Axis Type to "Date axis". This (kind of) changes the axis to a numerical type, as opposed to a category type.
However, the area graph will still be placed incorrectly too far to the right because Excel will continue to plot the series as a (kind of) category type, with its data points appearing in the centre of each category as opposed to at the correct x value like in an XY scatter plot.
To get the graphs overlaying the most correctly, you can create a Scaled-up x value series which is, say, 1,000 times the original x-values and use this for the x-values of the area plot. By scaling by 1,000 or 10,000, you eventually get the granularity to a point where it looks more like X-Y plot, but is actually an area plot, and the graphs look like they coincide perfectly.
I m designing an application that is suppose to plot multiple graphs for sensor data on a single tablet screen.All the graphs shall have common x-axis that displays time(1 sec to 2 mins) but y axis data for all the plots is different. I was able to successfully plot all the graphs but not sure how to display a common x- axis for the graphs? Has anyone tried doing this?
You can definitely display multiple plots (each containing it's own graph space) with identical domain (xAxis) labeling. The key to doing this is constraining each plot's boundaries in the same way.
Let's say that for the sake of this example your series data uses a time offset in milliseconds as it's x values. For 1 second that gives us:
xMin = 1000 (1 second)
xMax = 120000 (2 minutes)
which translates to:
plot.setDomainBoundaries(1000, 12000, BoundaryMode.FIXED);
If you're using real timestamps instead of offsets, the same principle applies. You'll just have to decide what the starting timestamp should be and then calculate the ending timestamp by adding 120000 to it.
I am graphing 3 datasets on a graph with 2 x-axes and 2 y-axes.
I want:
Series 1 to have Primary X, Primary Y
Series 2 to have Secondary X, Secondary Y
Series 3 to have Primary X, Secondary Y
Is it possible for Series 3 to be on a Primary x-axes and Secondary y-axes? I only see the option for Primary or Secondary, which chooses the same for X and Y.
Unfortunately, Excel does not offer a way to have a single data series plotted on both a primary and secondary axis.
I have had a few situations in the past requiring something similar, and my solution was pretty janky. I made a third graph, setting the x-axis the same as the Primary X in graph 1 and the y-axis the same as Secondary Y in graph 2. I then played with the formatting of graph 2 (removed fill, gridlines, axes, etc. so basically only the series data is visible) and then placed it on top of graph 1, creating the illusion that it was all one graph.
Sadly, this only really works if either the axis min/max values are static or you are willing to put in a bunch of tedious manual work each time you update the data.
