Chart Types

Default chart type.

Each series value shown in separate column.

Shows accumulated series values RELATIVE to 100% totals.

Horizontal bar chart.

Shows accumulated series values RELATIVE to 100% totals.

Displays information as a series of data points (markers) connected by straight lines.

Step-like visuals are added between any two points that have differing values.

Show series as individual pies, and categories as pie segments.

Automatically represented in multi-chart format.

Show series as individual rings, and categories as ring segments.

Automatically represented in multi-chart format.

Show series as individual pyramids, and categories as pyramid levels.

Automatically represented in multi-chart format.

Show series as individual funnels, and categories as funnel levels.

Automatically represented in multi-chart format.

Show series as individual funnels, and categories as funnel levels.

Automatically represented in multi-chart format.

NOTE: A streamlined funnel chart cannot be viewed with a single data point.

Each area item is "stacked" laterally on the chart.

NOTE: The best way to view a plain area chart is usually in 3D mode with transparency.

Shows accumulated series values based on ABSOLUTE totals.

Shows accumulated series values RELATIVE to 100% totals.

Scatter plots use the first two columns of a query to plot the x and y axes (and then every subsequent column). The rows of the query, which are typically used as the basis for the categories of a chart, are only displayed as data points in the plot.

See Multi-Axis charts for more info on scatter charts.

NOTE: A scatter plot chart cannot be viewed with a single column of data.

Bubble charts use the first three columns of a query to plot the x, y and z axes (and then every subsequent set of two columns). The rows of the query, which are typically used as the basis for the categories of a chart, are displayed as data points in the plot.

See multi-axis charts for more info.

NOTE: A bubble plot chart cannot be viewed with fewer than three columns of data.

Draws an area chart on the basis of a 360 degree plane, which has been subdivided into arcs equivalent to the number of data categories in the result set.

Draws scatter plots using a 360 degree Cartesian plane. Polar charts require at least two columns of data (like scatter plots).

Waterfall charts demonstrate how an initial value is influenced by a series of intermediate (positive or negative) values.

Three distinct colors are used to indicate endpoints, positive values and negative values.

Candlestick charts require four data points representing high, low, open and close values.

Stock charts require four data points representing high, low, open and close values.

Stock charts are similar to candlestick charts, but use simple lines instead of candlestick icons.
