Add a Language Narrative Visualization
The Language Narrative visualization provides insights into your company's data. These insights can be in the form of breakdown or trend.
About the Language Narrative Visualization
The Language Narrative visualization creates natural language descriptions of the attributes and measures in your dataset. The descriptions provide insights into your company's data in the form of breakdown or trend.
For example, if you create a workbook with Sample Sales and you drag the T00 Calendar Date time dimension and the 1-Revenue measure to the canvas and then select the Language Narrative visualization, you'll see the following description:

The natural language description capabilities are provided by the integration of Oracle Analytics Cloud with its artificial intelligence technology partner Yseop.
Supported Data Element Combinations
You can use the Language Narrative visualization with the following combinations:
- Two attributes and one measure.
- One attribute and two measures.
The attributes that you select can be regular columns or time dimensions. And columns may contain long character names and special characters.
Use these tables to understand the type of analysis that Oracle Analytics Cloud performs based on the attribute (regular or time dimensions) and measure combination that you selected.
Item | Dimension 1 | Dimension 2 | Measure | Chronological Order | Unrelated | Result |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
One regular or time dimension One measure |
Regular or time | - | Regular | Yes | Yes |
Trend analysis for the time dimension. Breakdown analysis for regular column. When you initially create the visualization, these analyses are the default. If needed, you can choose the other analysis type (trend or breakdown). |
One regular or time dimension One measure |
Regular or time | - | Regular | No | Yes |
Trend analysis for the time dimension. Breakdown analysis for the regular column. When you initially create the visualization, these analyses are the default. If needed, you can choose the other analysis type (trend or breakdown). |
Two regular or time dimensions One measure |
Regular or time | Regular or time | Regular | Yes | Yes |
Trend analysis for the first dimension, if it's ordered (namely, is a time dimension), and breakdown for the second dimension. Breakdown analysis if both dimensions are regular columns. Time dimension is trend analysis and regular column is breakdown analysis. |
One time dimension One regular dimension One measure |
Time | Regular | Regular | Yes | Yes |
Trend analysis for the first dimension. Breakdown analysis for the second dimension. |
One regular dimension One time dimension One measure |
Regular | Time | Regular | Yes | Yes | Breakdown analysis for only the first regular dimension. |
One Attribute and Two Measures Combinations
Item | Dimension | Measure 1 | Measure 2 | Chronological Order | Unrelated | Result |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
One regular dimension Two measures |
Regular | Regular | Regular | No | Yes | Breakdown analysis for the first and second measures individually, based on dimension. |
One time dimension Two measures |
Time | Regular | Regular | Yes | Value verses reference | Trend analysis for the first measure with a value comparison to the second measure. |
Other Limitations
Note the following limitations for Language Narrative visualizations:
- The text in the visualization can be displayed in English or French. Other languages aren't supported. Oracle Analytics Cloud maps French locales (fr and fr-CA) to the French language, and maps all other locales to English.
- Presentation mode and embedding items such as dashboards aren't supported.
- The color change and data brushing functionality isn't applicable to this visualization type.
- Data actions aren't applicable to this visualization type.
- The Use as Filter option isn't available for this visualization type.
- Oracle Analytics Cloud can't generate a natural language analysis if your visualization contains two attributes and the second attribute has more than 50 elements.
