Bar charts graphically display values in vertical and horizontal bars across categories.
Bar charts are useful for comparing multiple series of data (i.e. providing snapshots of data at particular points in time).
BarStacked charts are used to compare contributions of values to a total across categories.
Use the BarStacked chart when you need visibility to the combined values for each category.
BarStacked 100% shows the combined contribution of values as percentages where the combined total for each category is 100 percent.
Use when the relationship between values in a category is more significant than the amounts.
The Pie chart shows slices representing fractional parts of a whole.
When you need to display the contribution of fractional parts to a whole.
Spline charts allow you to take a limited set of known data points and approximate intervening values.
The Spline chart is often used for data modeling by taking a limited number of data points and interpolating or estimating the intervening values.
The Spline Stacked chart is a variation of the Spline chart. The areas are stacked so that each series adjoins but does not overlap the preceding series.
The Spline Stacked chart is often used for data modelling by taking a limited number of data points and interpolating or estimating the intervening values.
Use the Spline Stacked chart when you need visibility to the combined values for each category.
The Spline Stacked Area chart is a variation of the Spline Area chart. The areas are stacked so that each series adjoins but does not overlap the preceding series.
Also can be used for data modelling in that it takes a limited number of data points and interpolates the intervening values. This chart type allows the entire surface area for all sequences to be displayed at one time.
The Spline Stacked Area 100% chart is a variation of the Spline Area chart. The areas are stacked so that each series adjoins but does not overlap the preceding series and where the combined total for each category is 100 percent.
Also can be used for data modelling in that it takes a limited number of data points and interpolates the intervening values. This chart type allows the entire surface area for all sequences to be displayed at one time. Use this chart type when the relationship between values in a category is more significant than the amounts.
This chart type displays a set of data points connected by a line.
A common use for the line chart is to show trends over a period of time.
This chart type displays sets of data points connected by lines, with one stacked on top of another line.
Used to show two line series, with one stacked on top of the other.
The Area chart consists of a series of data points joined by a line and where the area below the line is filled.
Area charts are appropriate for visualizing data that fluctuates over a period of time and can be useful for emphasizing trends.
The AreaStacked chart is a variation of the Area chart that display trends of the contribution of each value over time (or across categories). The areas are stacked so that each series adjoins but does not overlap the preceding series.
Areastacked charts are appropriate for visualizing data that fluctuates over a period of time and where the entire area for all series data must be visible at one time.
AreaStacked 100% charts are a variation of Area Stacked charts that present values for trends as percentages, totaling to 100% for each category.
Use this chart type to visualize data that fluctuates over a period of time and where the relationship between values in a category is more significant than the amounts.
The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis.
Uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data
