Ignition version 8.1.13. Chart type - bar chart. Data incoming from a DB. Having issue with zoom, any idea how I can fix this or what i am doing wrong?

> [@y.parashchuk](#): > > Chart type - bar chart That's not a bar chart. Can you verify that you're working with the intended component? My guess is that you are actually working with a basic chart.

I'm still unable to replicate this problem: [https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/6/86ea070ccf26d424d566d79ea49b14a226d96928.mp4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/6/86ea070ccf26d424d566d79ea49b14a226d96928.mp4) I have a SQL query binding on the data property. The datatypes of the SQL table are DATETIME and DOUBLE. Do you see any differences in the property settings? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/9/99b297031ae2b07617bb5446fdc4078a41e637ef.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/1/a10ff5b77fbb826e2d0636c9bfbdbf2633a45721.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/5/557250fa5bb25ebc4960ef001b0ae5372a29d792.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/2/d2756a43df98601b40ea8aeefdd50eba7ad6f6d3.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/f/5fe302ce5f82105d01824ce6ec6341abe1be109a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/1/61c0c6d44d6455755347896299183b1842c8b57e.png) ---

I am using margin in Dataset Properties ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/8/881840df4157cc8a1e92cc86d96ff4cc8ecd7878.png) Data type is float in my case not DINT. And data has gaps between, for example can be 5 samples at 3.06.2023 then another 10 data points at 4.06.2023 then few more samples next day 05.06.2023. In 1 day date difference between each point can be from 5 minutes to few hours. ---

I tried it using only your sample data via a SQL query binding with the value datatype set as FLOAT, and it worked properly, so I'm out of ideas. Perhaps you could file a ticket with support, and let them look at this directly. I would like to know what the problem turns out to be.

Are you doing any scripting? ...such as configureChart? ---

Thanks for your time. No, just direct binding from a DB. Without any scripting ---

I am having the same issue but with a line chart. Someone solved this?
