Customize Scale Marker dialog

Use this dialog to set the value for one of the following items for a graph:

• Position of a line scale marker

• High value of a range scale marker

To set the value, you can use a static value, a presentation variable, a measure column, or a SQL query. If a value is not valid, then the scale marker is ignored.
