Remarks
If Scalar is False, the values on the axis are not scalar, that is, the axis displays only the values present in the data. If it is True, the axis displays a set of values on a continuous scale. For example, if the dataset contains data for January, March, July, November, and December, a non-scalar axis displays only those months, while a scalar axis displays all of the months in the year.
Scalar cannot be True if the axis has more than one grouping, has a static grouping, or has a grouping with more than one group expression. Scalar only affects axes in which the data contains numeric or date values.
