Dashboard Chart, what does 100 mean?

Question

What does the number 100 on the Y axis of the Dashboard Chart mean?

Does anyone know? (the 100)

Answer 1

Looks like a bug, see the issue on Magento repo: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7927

Y-axis on dashboard graph always shows range 0 to 100 in steps of 10. That means quantity and amounts do not match actual value in graph. Preconditions

Any working setup for Magento 2 Tested on 2.1.1, but it probably doesn't work in any other

Steps to reproduce

Make few orders and look at the graph in admin dashboard

Expected result

Values shown should be matched with y-axis value

Actual result

It always show range 10 to 100 in steps of 10 and values (qty and amounts) doesn't make sense with that values

Fortunately, that issue is easy to fix: This code (exists in M1, not in M2) needs to be inserted on line 424 in vendor/magento/module-backend/Block/Dashboard/Graph.php (thanks to @ivanweiler)

            } else if ($idx == 'y') {
                $valueBuffer[] = $indexid . ":|" . implode('|', $yLabels);   

Answer 2

It was issue with Y axis components in earlier version. This issue has been solved in Magento v2.2.x version.

I have taken following screen shot in Magento v2.2.4
