This section shows some visualisations to use and how it works.
Creating a visualization
You create visualizations from pre-defined charts or custom objects. You must be in Edit mode to be able to add a visualization to the sheet.
- Drag the visualization from the assets panel onto the sheet, or double-click the visualization.
Add dimensions and measures to the visualization. The number of dimensions and measures that are required depends on which visualization you selected.
Dimensions determine how the data in a visualization is grouped - for example total sales per country or number of products per supplier. For more information, see Dimensions.
Measures are calculations used in visualizations, typically represented on the y-axis of a bar chart or a column in a table. Measures are created from an expression composed of aggregation functions, such as Sum or Max, combined with one or several fields. For more information, see Measures.
Adjust the presentation, for example sorting, coloring, or labeling.
For more information, see Changing the appearance of a visualization.
You can convert from one visualization type to another by dragging a new chart to a visualization on a sheet.
For other methods of creating a visualization, see Creating and editing visualizations.
