Why is only Auto available in Scale for an axis in a Line chart?

<p>I am very new to BIRT Designer. There are 10+ CSV files that are updated daily for which I like to create line charts from so that historical data can be displayed and trends can be identified. Here is data from one file:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Day,Status,Count</p>
<p>2016-08-13,DOWNLOADED,253</p>
<p>2016-08-13,UPLOADED,206661</p>
<p>2016-08-13,CREATED,206686</p>
<p>2016-08-13,PURGED,154</p>
<p>2016-08-13,EXPIRED,868</p>
<p>2016-08-14,UPLOADED,137264</p>
<p>2016-08-14,DELETED,12</p>
<p>2016-08-14,CREATED,137246</p>
<p>2016-08-14,PURGED,166</p>
<p>2016-08-14,EXPIRED,912</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are several charts that should be generated from the data:</p>
<p>-        One for each status type for all days</p>
<p>-        One for each status type for each day of the week (Mondays, Tuesdays, …)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have created a Data Source and a Data Set, a report with Line Chart where data has a filter on status=’UPLOADED’ and x-axis is Day and y-axis is Count. When I go to x-axis and select Scale, only Auto is selected and everything else is disabled. Any idea why?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If there is any suggestion on best practices for creating such reports I would appreciate any input.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I learned that Scale is associated with y-axis and not x-axis.</p>

<p>Another newbie question: Where should I look to determine the cause of a report displaying the same chart several times? </p>

<p>Is the chart inside a table element?</p>
