Plot members from the same dimension in certain charts

Certain visualizations can now plot members from the same dimension, which makes it easy to view and compare members quickly.

In the following example, all members of the month dimension display in the Line chart as measures on the y-axis.

Notice in the Fields panel, the Color field shows an item that is called y-axis: 3 members, which shows that there are three members that display in different colors on the y-axis. This item in the Color field acts like any other hierarchy. You can drag it from the Color field to other fields like the Repeat (column) to see individual charts for each member.

You can click into an empty y-axis field to plot another member. To remove an existing member, click the menu icon for the member you want to remove and select Remove. When the set changes, the y-axis field also updates to show the members in the new set.

Similarly, when you create a combination visualization, members of the column dimension are plotted on the Column length or Length fields and the Color field displays the set of members.

In the Line and column chart, members of the column dimension appear on both the Column length and Line position fields. You can then choose which members display as columns and which member should be a line.

The following visualizations can plot multiple members from the same dimension:
  • Column
  • Line
  • Line and column
  • Bar
  • Stacked bar
  • Stacked column
  • Marimekko
  • Point
  • Area
