Single dimension charts

A single dimension chart splits your data by one dimension, so you can compare its categories. For example, a column chart could show the number of supporters in each region.

For how dimensions and measures work, see Dimensions and Measures.

Add a single dimension chart

Most single dimension charts need one dimension and one measure. Combo charts need one dimension and two measures. The Single Dimension Charts group also has the table, which has its own page. See Table tiles.

To add a single dimension chart:

1. Add a tile and choose a chart from the Single Dimension Charts group as the Tile Type.
2. Under Dimension, add the dimension.
3. Under Measure, add the measure, or two measures for a combo chart.
4. Select Apply, then Save the dashboard.

For the chart's other settings, such as its sort order and data labels, see Measure settings.

Chart types

Each chart type shows the categories of one dimension in a different way.

Column

A column chart shows a column for each category. The height of each column shows the measure.

Bar

A bar chart is a column chart turned on its side. The length of each bar shows the measure.

Pie

A pie chart shows each category as a slice of a circle. The size of each slice shows the category's share of the total.

Donut

A donut chart is a pie chart with a hole in the middle.

Line

A line chart draws a line through a point for each category, such as each year. The height of each point shows the measure.

Area

An area chart is a line chart with the area under the line filled in.

Radar column

A radar column chart arranges the categories around a circle, with a column for each one pointing out from the centre. The length of each column shows the measure.

Radar line

A radar line chart arranges the categories around a circle and draws a line through a point for each one. The further a point is from the centre, the higher the measure.

Radar area

A radar area chart is a radar line chart with the area inside the line filled in.

Funnel

A funnel chart shows each category as a segment of a funnel, sized by the measure. Use it to show how numbers fall at each stage of a process, such as from enquiry to first donation.

Combo chart

A combo chart shows two measures. The left axis shows the first measure as a column for each category, and the right axis shows the second measure as a line.
