Histograms render data into multi-colored bars with relative sizes to help you make fast comparisons. Three similar types of histograms are available: basic, side-by-side, and stacked.
Example: Todd wants to analyze current budget values for each project in the Corporate Projects portfolio. He also wants to compare this data to the BL Total Cost for the current project phase. He navigates to the Portfolio Analysis page and customizes the portfolio views, filters, and histogram chart options shown below. He sets Project to appear on the x-axis and Current Budget on the y-axis. When the chart appears, each bar represents a project; the size of the bar represents the Current Budget. He configures a second histogram to display the Current Phase on the x-axis and BL Total Cost on the y-axis.
