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.

• Doughnut

  Displays a circular graph which is divided into segments to compare data sets to one another

  The blank center displays the sum of all data sets.

• Line

  Enables users to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time

• Pie

  Displays a circular graph which is divided into slices to compare data sets with one another

• Tile

  Enables users to select specific values from a data set, to display in separate tiles

  It emphasis a small number of data points or an individual data point.

The default chart view is a Bar chart. You can customize your chart display and change the default chart view.
