Issues of link type affecting other charts

Hi everyone,

I have all charts on my chart booklinked through link number 1.

Most charts are using Link Type - Symbol only.

A couple of charts are also linked by position and vertical scale (in addition to symbol).

Issue I face is that if I alter scale of one of the charts that has Symbol only link, it also affects charts that have link by position and vertical scale. I ended up having to move those charts to link number 2, which is not ideal.

Is that expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

What you are seeing is how the Linking works. From the documentation for Chart Linking:

The particular Chart Linking option which is enabled on a chart, affects that chart if the corresponding action is performed in another chart with the same Link Number. So in other words, if there is chart 1 and 2, they both use the same Chart Linking number, and chart 1 has Chart Linking >> Scroll Position enabled and chart 2 does not, then scrolling chart 2 will scroll chart 1.
