Create a Range Area Chart

Add a Range Area visualization to your workbook.

To create a range area chart, you need the following columns:
  • An attribute or date column for the x-axis
  • A measure column representing the start value for the range
  • A measure column representing the end value for the range

For example, you can create a range area chart to see the temperature ranges for the first half of the month of January. You can use measure columns representing low temperatures for the start values and high temperatures for the end values, and a date column for the category on the x-axis.
