Types of Chart Views
You can create the following types of chart views:
-
Area
Displays a shaded area to represent each data set
-
Bar
Displays a graphical summary of multiple data values for comparison purposes
Bar charts can be plotted vertically or horizontally
-
Column
Displays stacked bars that represent different data sets on top of each other
The height of the resulting bar shows the combined result of the data sets.
-
Combination
Provides a visualization that lets you merge into one chart any combination of bar, line, and area charts.
Use this type when you have two different sets of data that are plotted on the y-axis. You can add a secondary Y-axis on the opposite side from the primary Y-axis. Adding a secondary Y-axis lets you display the scale for one measure that doesn't scale appropriately with the other measures on the chart; for example, showing a percentage measure and a currency measure on the same chart.

Line

-
Pie
