Rounding of time in charts

[Ajay Garg]

When I run the following code, the chart generated takes only the hour part into consideration. Is there a way to show the exact time? If not, then at least the hour and the minute?

h2. SQL Job durations

{chart}

I would have loved to be able to provide the datatype for y-axis in this case - whether a number or a time and let the chart macro handle it. I am not an administrator, so can't create macros.

No, it is numeric, so there is nothing you can do there. Suggest creating a user macro that converts a time to a number.

Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply. Showing EndTime as a numeric value is not an option. It confuses. 0.25 could be confused as 25 minutes when it actually would be 15 minutes. I tried forgive=false as well, but that did not help. Any other ideas?

[Bob Swift OSS (Bob Swift Atlassian Apps)]

The y axis values are numbers (not dates) and the default is to forgive bad data if possible. Therefore it is only interpreting the number before the : as valid. You would need to express your end time value as a numeric value like 5.15
