Floating bar

The series of the chart does not connect to an axis but next to the axis, which views as floating.

Floating bar visualizations use horizontal data markers to compare individual values. You can use floating bar visualizations to compare discrete data or to show trends over time.

A floating bar visualization can show changes over a specific time period. If the visualization has so many bars that the labels are impossible to read, filter the data to focus on a subset of the data or use a tree map.

For example, this floating bar visualization shows the claim amount range per month.

Create the floating bar visualization by dragging the following data items from the Customer Analysis section in the Sources pane:

• Drag Expiry Month onto the Bars field.
• Drag Total Claim Amount onto the Length field.
• Drag Premiums over claim onto the y-start field.

Use the y-start field to define where the measure must start.
