Minimum object requirements for each graph style

The table below provides information about different graph styles and the minimum object requirements for displaying a graph in each style.

Although the table below lists the minimum requirements to display a graph in each graph style, some graphs require specific types of attributes and metrics to be useful. For this information as it relates to each graph style, see Selecting a graph style and Description of available graph styles.

Graph Style

Minimum Requirements (unless otherwise noted)

Area

One attribute, one metric

Bar

One attribute, one metric

Line

One attribute, one metric

Pie

One attribute, one metric

Scatter: XY

One attribute, two metrics

If there are more than two metrics, the graph may not be useful because Scatter plots are used to plot two values at a time. Any additional metrics are not included on the display of the Scatter plot.

Scatter: XYZ

One attribute, three metrics

If there are more than three metrics, the graph may not be useful because Scatter plots are used to plot three values at a time. Any additional metrics are not included on the display of the Scatter plot.

Polar

One attribute, two metrics

Radar

One attribute, one metric

Bubble

One attribute, three metrics

If there are more than three metrics, the graph may not be useful because Bubble charts are used to plot two values (a first and second metric) at a time. The size of each bubble represents the third metric. Any additional metrics are not included on the display of the Bubble chart.
 

Stock:Hi-Lo

One attribute, two metrics

To ensure that this type of graph displays data correctly, you must include specific types of metrics. For more information, see the Advanced Reporting Help.

Stock: Hi-Lo-Open

One attribute, three metrics

To ensure that this type of graph displays data correctly, you must include specific types of metrics. For more information, see the Advanced Reporting Help.

Stock: Hi-Lo-Open-Close

One attribute, four metrics

To ensure that this type of graph displays data correctly, you must include specific types of metrics. For more information, see the Advanced Reporting Help.

Histogram

One attribute, one metric

3D: Risers

One attribute, one metric

3D: Floating

One attribute, one metric

3D: Connect Group

One attribute, three metrics

3D: Connect Series

One attribute, one metric

3D Surface

One attribute, one metric

3D: Scatter

One attribute, three metrics

Gauge

One attribute, one metric

Funnel

One attribute, one metric

Pareto

One attribute, one metric

Pareto: Percent

One attribute, two metrics

To ensure that this type of graph displays data correctly, you must include specific types of metrics. For more information, see the Advanced Reporting Help.

Boxplot

One attribute, exactly five metrics

To ensure all five sections of the boxplot (minimum, maximum, median, lower quartile, upper quartile) appear correctly on the graph, the five metrics must be defined in a specific way, as explained in the Advanced Reporting Help.

Gantt

 

One attribute, two metrics

To ensure that this type of graph displays data correctly, you must include specific types of metrics. For more information, see the Advanced Reporting Help.
