Thanks so much…. but,
On my page its still not reading the URL encodes properly. I’m getting ticks on 1,2,5,7,8,9, which looks like its stripping the endodes and only seeing their numbers, and adding ticks for them.
Damn this is a tough one!
BTW, I read your profile, and assure you I am not “pro-capitalism”. I’m a small business owner who escaped my corporate overlords 10 years ago. But I get it now, after reading your story. Cheers.
I guess I should also tell you that I DO NOT need to use “ticks”.
What I’m trying to achieve is to split the charts display into 3 sections, thirds of equal amount, 1 through 27. The data is locked into 27 being the highest, so I’m trying to visually represent the bottom, middle and top third.
If there is an easier way to do this, I’m game.

Well, ticks should work, so if there’s a problem with it, that’s its own issue and should eventually get formally reported as a bug or otherwise resolved.

IIUC, this isn’t actually what ticks is supposed to do, anyway. It sounds like you’re trying to represent three different visualizations in one chart. Why not just use three charts? The ticks option is for specifying what shows up as markers for a particular scale on a particular axis.
You could:
- Split your data into three sheets.
- Split the display of your data (residing on one sheet) into three charts by applying an appropriate
query.
Ultimately, if there is a problem with ticks, that’s its own issue and I still haven’t explored your test case. But given your goal, I don’t even think using the ticks option makes sense, so….

Also, “a small business owner who has escaped corporate overlords” is an oxymoron (obviously), but that’s neither here nor there in terms of the ticks option. 😛
Hmmm…. I think I’ll stick with ticks and hope for a solution.
I can’t split the data into 3 charts. My use is to rank 27 players, as they progress through a series of competitions. But they all need to appear on the same chart at once, since they move from the bottom, to the middle and top, and all over through the course of the competitions over 12 weeks, and the chart is to track them as they progress through it.
Let me if/when you get a chance to look at the test case.
(I guess I should have said I’m a “sole proprietor”, as I do not have any employees, or have a desire to own a company that does. Just me.)
