Always make sure to save your chart.
2.4. Visualize Your Data with Different Charts
Before we start, we should note: you don’t have to use every chart type to do proper analysis. Most of the time you’ll only need tables and line charts.
Tables
In many cases, you want to see many metrics at once, list their exact values, and be able to sort those metrics. You can do this by adding or removing columns, or adding multiple filters to make it easier for you to find certain values.
The image above shows users what a Table looks like.
If you also want to summarize the grouping of rows or switch columns and rows, using a Pivot Table would be better.
Line Charts
You may also often want to present data as a time series to see how a particular metric has changed over time, and you would use a line chart for in this case. A time series is any chart that involves tracking data by time, such as day, month or year. A line chart provides a simple shape for the data, making it easy to see if the numbers are trending up, or if they are cyclical, or what the maximum value was for the past X days, among other things.
The image above shows users what a Line Chart looks like.
Let’s walk through some common situations to help you choose the right visualization chart to show your findings.
When You Only Have One Value
Number Visualization
When you only have one value, especially for static numbers, or at least a number that doesn’t change too frequently, use the (appropriately named) Number Visualization, which is good for at-a-glance values.
The image above shows an example of what Number Visualization looks like.
Keep in mind that a single number may lack context, so it’s best used on a dashboard that provides that context.
The image above shows an example of a Dashboard combining different charts together to provide context for your data.
Comparing Metrics
Often, we want to see how multiple values stack up against each other. The most common comparisons are a single metric’s performance over time and a single metric across other dimensions.
Static Comparisons
For measures that won’t change, like responses on a survey or an annual report, you can compare values with a Bar Chart (sometimes called a Column Chart). If you have a lot of different items you need to compare, you could try switching to a row chart to see if that makes the bars more legible for you.
The image above shows users an example of what a Bar Chart looks like.
One Measure Over Time
When you want to compare and emphasize two sequential values of a metric, or have a number that can be broken down by time, you can use a Trend Chart. Trend Charts show the current value of the metric and the previous value of that metric at whichever interval you’re tracking it at.
The image above shows users an example of what a Trend Chart looks like.
If you don’t need to emphasize the most recent data, consider a time series instead, so that the shape of the metric over time can be seen. This is especially useful if the most recent data is uncharacteristic of larger trends. Trends are also great for situations in which teams need to look at a metric weekly and roughly know its behavior.
Line charts are the classic format for time series, but you can also present series values as a Bar Chart or an Area Chart.
Multiple Measures Over Time
You can layer two time series on a line chart, with each line sharing the y-axis. If your measures have different scales or units of measurement, then you can use a combined graph with two different y-axes to highlight this difference.
This image shows users an instance where a chart has two y-axes, both showing different data being tracked despite them both revolving around a monthly basis.
Showing The Relationship Between Measures
Sometimes you’ll want to see how two different measures correlate with each other.
The most basic way to see a relationship is to plot one variable along the x-axis and the other variable along the y-axis, and see if a pattern emerges. This graph is known as a Scatter Plot Chart. You’ll often see scatter plots used with data that hasn’t been summarized or aggregated. Each dot on the chart represents an individual record in the data.
The image above shows how each dot on the chart represents its own individual data separate from the other dots.
If you want to introduce a third variable, you could change the size of each dot to reflect the value of the additional variable, turning a scatter plot into a Bubble Chart.
The image above shows users an example of a Bubble Chart.
Breakouts
A breakout shows the composition of a measure. Breakouts are categories that make up a bigger set of data and can include Pie Charts, Area Charts, and Bar Charts.
A Metric With Several Groups or Categories
Pie Charts show how several parts make up a whole.
The above image is an example of a Pie Chart.
While the Line Chart is more suitable for data with a trend over time, the Pie Chart shows the percentage of a category in the whole. You could even use a Dynamic Pie Chart to combine them both together. You can see how the values and pie charts change over time, instead of a new pie chart needing to be created every day.
The gif above shows users how the values change over time in the graph as reflected by the Pie Chart.
Categorical Breakouts Over Time
If you need to show how a number changes over time, and show the composition of that number at each interval, then consider using a Stacked Area Chart or Stacked Bar Chart.
The above image is an example of a Stacked Bar Chart.
Relative Changes Among Categories Over Time
If you need to see how different categories change relative to each other over time, regardless of the specific numbers, you could use percentages in your stacked bar charts.
The image above shows the percentage option being used to represent the data on the y-axis in the Stacked Bar Chart.
There are so many different customization options and real-life uses for each of the mentioned types of charts.

Adding Filters to the Dashboard
Filters can be added to our dashboards to allow for a wider range of applications, as well as to avoid any repetitive work.
Filters are usually applied in:
Creating a Dashboard with a Filter
To set up filters on a new dashboard:
Step 1: Create a dashboard without any filter.
Dashboard items can have filters individually, but for more complex applications, it is more practical to just create a dashboard filter that is applied to the items inside of it. You can then set which item you want to associate with the dashboard filter.
Note: If the charts you selected already have filters on them, you can delete the filters manually. To delete filters:
Step 1: Click on Advanced.
Step 2: Under Filter, click on the x mark on your unwanted filters.
Step 3: Make sure you Save to keep any changes made.
The image above shows users how to manually delete filters that may come with some charts.
The gif above demonstrates how to delete filters from charts manually.
Step 2: For multiple charts, you can add a filter linkage. Click on add a filter on the top right corner, and select the type of filter you would like. You can choose Time, ID, Location, and Other Categories. For the purpose of this example, we will select Time.
The image above shows where the Add a filter button is located and the available filters you can use.
Step 3: Select the type of filter. In this case, we will use Month and Year. You will be provided with different options for each filter as well.
The image above shows that you need to further specify your filters, with this one being Month and Year.
Step 4: Select the chart you want to associate with the drop-down filters on each chart, then set your Default Value as needed before clicking Done to finalize your settings.
The image above shows users where to set their filters and default value.
The gif above demonstrates how to link charts together using the same filter based on Steps 1 to 4.
