Hi, I am running Kibana 7.16.1. I currently have an Aggregation-based Line Chart that works as intended: ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 12-01-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/5/354c5a53b5fcc41c3cb9afed981f11f94eea1b98.png) Now I have created a copy by clicking on "Clone", and simply changed the field of the Split Series to split by a different field in my dataset. Currently there's only 1 unique field so only one line displayed. The problem however is that the Y-axis is inverted! ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 12-00-41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/d/5d00e84e81fea31047d992039aa1dcf8641fc2c7.png) This is very unexpected since I cloned the original panel, thus all panel settings should be identical. Do you have any feeling for what might be happening? How can I tell Kibana to invert the Y axis? Thanks! ---

This is super weird. No we don't 🤔 Can you share with me with screenshots the configuration of the chart? Also if you create it from scratch do you see the axis inverted or correct? ---

Sure thing! Here come some screenshots of the Split Series and the Y-axis configuration, let me know if I missed something. ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 12-43-25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/4/e472c7723bccd15a70836473beb4994c2aef6979.png) ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 12-43-51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/b/9bbdcb09a26dba29f8e10bd1ff6ea988bd00c89e.png) ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 12-43-59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/d/7d8d461df278ac114d1c26bd3eda1a5d2e659bb5.png) I also notice that the problem is fixed is I remove the "Scale to data bounds" option. My goal is still to have a range of "data range +- 1000" with the correct Y axis orientation. Yes I actually started creating the chart from scratch, then when I noticed it had the Y axis inverted I tried making a clone of the one that was fine. ---

Thanx, except from the split series what else do you have in the chart? If I can understand correctly is a date histogram on the x -axis and the metric? What aggregation are you using? ---

Also what type is the field that you are using as a metric? This could also help because I can't replicate it tbh. Finally, can you try to create this in Lens? Does the problem exist there? ---

Yes exactly, date histogram on x-axis and one metric (Sum of violations). The field I'm using "violations" is just an integer. I can't replicate it in Lens because it doesn't allow me to choose a range for the Y axis being "Data bounds **+- margin**". If I choose "Full range" I get the same behavior as with the Aggregation Based Line Chart. If I add a new datapoint that makes the line no longer be horizontal (either it goes up or down) then the Y axis gets the correct orientation. So perhaps it's just a silly edge case? 🙂 ---

Yes very possible. I will share it with the team, they might have more insights for this case. Thanx for reporting this! ---

@tinrik could you check what does it happen if you reduce the bounds? to 100, 10, 1 Do all 4 data points have the same value? ---

@markov00 Same behavior, just different range in the Y axis (but still inverted). Yes, all 4 data points have the same value. As soon as one of them is different then the Y axis works as expected. It gets even funnier if you set the type to "Area" instead of "Line", then the area is drawn from the line up 🙂 ![Screenshot from 2022-12-23 18-46-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/4/4437e33e24deed955ed6f9877a1e60e4b14872dc.png) ---
