Chart Types

Choose an appropriate chart type, based on the type of data you are presenting.

Comparison

Column

Types Description
Column Column Chart allows you to compare values for a set of unordered items across categories through vertical bars ordered horizontally.
StackedColumn Stacked Column Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through bars stacked one after the other vertically.
StackedColumnPercent 100% Stacked Column Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through bars stacked one after the other vertically.
RangeColumn Range Column Chart displays information as a range of data by plotting two Y-values (low and high) per data point.

Bar

Types Description
Bar Bar Chart allows you to compare values for a set of unordered items across categories through horizontal bars ordered vertically.
StackedBar Stacked Bar Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through bars stacked one after the other horizontally.
StackedBarPercent 100% Stacked Bar Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through bars stacked one after the other horizontally.
RangeBar Range Bar Chart allows you to describe start and end value in a bar chart.

Proportion

Pie

Types Description
Pie Pie Chart allows you to showcase proportionality of each item to the total in the form of pie-slices.
ExplodedPie ExplodedPie Chart allows you to separate one or more sectors from the rest of the disk. This effect is used to either highlight a sector, or to highlight smaller segments of the chart with small proportions.
Doughnut Doughnut Chart allows you to showcase proportionality of each item to the total in the form of doughnut-slices. To plot a doughnut chart, a minimum requirement of 1 value and 1 column is needed.

Shape

Types Description
Pyramid Pyramid Chart allows you to make proportional comparison between values showcased as progressively increasing manner. To plot a pyramid chart, a minimum requirement of 1 value and 1 column is needed.
Funnel Funnel Chart shows values across multiple stages in a process by highlighting different stages with different colors. It allows you make proportional comparison among values showcased in progressively decreasing manner.

Distribution

Area

Types Description
Area Area Chart allows you to compare values for a set of unordered items across categories through filled curves ordered vertically.
SmoothArea An area chart where the data points are connected by a smooth line instead of a regular line. Compares the distribution of values over a time period connected using the smooth lines.
StackedArea Stacked Area Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through filled curves stacked one after the other vertically.
StackedAreaPercent 100% Stacked Area Chart allows you to compare multiple measures through filled curves stacked one after the other vertically.
RangeArea Range Area Chart displays information as a range of data by plotting two Y-values (low and high) per data point.
SmoothRangeAreaChart Smooth Range Area Chart is a range area chart in which data points are connected by smooth curves. It displays information as a range of data by plotting two Y-values (low and high) per data point.

Line

Types Description
Line Line Chart allows you to showcase trends for analysis over a time period with data points connecting using straight lines.
SmoothLine SmoothLine Chart allows you to showcase trends for analysis over a time period with data points connected using splines.
SteppedLine SteppedLine chart allows you to compare the distribution of values over a time period connected using the stepped lines.
LineWithMarkers LineWithMarkers chart allows you to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.
SmoothLineWithMarkers Plotted values are represented with a marker point and those points are connected using a smooth line.

Scatter

Types Description
Bubble Bubble Chart allows you to compare large number of data points represented as bubbles and showcase the difference through its size.
Scatter Scatter Chart allows you to compare large number of data points represented as dots irrespective of time.

Polar

Types Description
Radar Radar chart allows you to display multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point.
Polar Displays a series as a set of points that are grouped by category on a 360-degree circle.
