Why does a chart seem to hide small values or use an axis above zero?

Where to find it: TIME MACHINE results → charts / Detailed Cash Flow

Chart axes can be scaled to the displayed series, so an axis need not start at zero. When one series is much larger than another, the smaller values can also be difficult to see. This does not by itself mean the table’s amounts are missing.

Use the legend and hover details to identify the series, then check the underlying year table. In Detailed Cash Flow, row headings can open a chart of that particular measure. Keep the dollar view consistent between the chart and table.

For consumption charts, read the sign and source labels: withdrawals supply spending while deposits can appear on the opposite side. A balance chart and a flow chart are different measurements.

If the chart still conflicts with the table, send the chart title, run and year through Contact us. Include the two amounts that disagree.
