Hi there!
Firstly, last week, I submitted this Q&A post and I didn’t get the chance to ask for a feature request for it. So if you could do that, that would be great!
Secondly, I wanted to ask if maybe I could approach this another way. This is the radar chart that I’m making:
As you can see, the angles are not correctly placed around the circle (see: the 90 degree value is at a 120 degree angle; we want it to be at 90 degrees). How could I make the angle values be situated at their real angle in the circle? This quite important for the application that I’m working on.
Thank you!
Hi,
To have the values in the right place you could have a calculated field with something like abs({Angle}-360). Now, to have the proper names for the degrees, the only thing I can think of is to overlay the visual with an image of a proper compass with numbers and not showing the values of the visual.
I know it is not pretty but maybe it will put you in the right direction to work arround this.

Thanks @olivercarmont for your question. Looks like @Max tagged your previous post as a feature request. Did @andres007’s workaround help? We hope so. Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi @Kristin, unfortunately, this workaround didn’t work. I booked a slot in the Quicksight Office Hours next week to discuss this further.
Do you know what the normal ETA is for a feature to be implemented? I have a pretty tight timeline and this is a very crucial feature (the feature being: having pre-defined X-values on a radar-chart)
Thank you
Hi @olivercarmont Glad you were able to book office hours.
Thanks for your feedback on the feature. Regarding your question, there is no general ETA for feature requests that are on the roadmap – that would be dependent on the specific feature. (And of course, not all feature requests are placed on the roadmap – they are prioritized based on the goal of building a better service.)
Hope that helps. We will also message you privately in case we can be of further assistance. Thanks!

Hello @olivercarmont,
It is a shame that the workaround did not work for you, it is possible to send me the dataset you used to construct the radar you show in your OP so I can try to make it work?
Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out @andres007
I’ve sent you a private message. Let’s work together on this.
For anyone else seeing this, I’ll post a solution on this thread if we find one!
Hi all,
I posted the solution on a different thread
The workaround is just to have a separate reference line that has all the x-axis values that you want to include in your chart. Just have a constant step-size between these angles (e.g. 15, 30, 45,…) and then they should appear at correct angles around the circle.
Thanks for the help! @Kristin @andres007
