Stacked Bar Chart

Язык статьи: Английский
Перевести

A stacked bar chart can display the trend of each data item over a period of time and the comparison between data items. It can visually display the data of each sub-category contained in a large category, as well as the proportion of each sub-category, showing the relationship between individual items and the overall value.

This section will show you how to add data and configure styles for stacked bar charts.

Notes and Constraints

  • The dimension axis is determined by the dimensions of the data and at least one dimension must be selected, such as date, province, or product type.
  • The metric axis is determined by the metrics of the data and at least one metric must be selected, such as order quantity.
  • The chart will display label values if the query limit is 14 or less, but not if it is greater than 14.

Procedure

  1. In the top navigation bar on the dashboard creation page, click to create a stacked bar chart template.
  2. Select a dataset in the Data area.
  3. Set parameters on the Field, Style, and Advanced tabs.
  1. Click Update. The system automatically updates the chart.

Field

  • Set fields.
    1. Find the data field you need in the dimension and metric lists within the data column.
      • In the dimension list, select the field and drag it to the column.
      • In the metric list, select the field and drag it to the column.

      Columns support the setting of field display content modification and drill-down functions for dimension fields.

      Note

      Drill-down function: When analyzing company sales data, you can change the analysis granularity by drilling down the data, such as drilling down from the regional granularity to the provincial granularity to view the data situation based on geographic dimensions. Connecting data from various dimensions facilitates data analysts to analyze the data and draw conclusions.

      • Set the field display content.

        Click in the column, select Field Display Content and click to modify the field display content on the displayed page. Click OK.

      • Set the drill-down.
