Properties - Data (Dimensions and Measures)

Vizlib Combo Chart supports one dimension with multiple measures. In the Data section, you can add dimensions or measures dynamically and decide whether they should be used directly or be added as alternatives.

This topic contains the following sections:

• Dimensions

• Measures

• Measure Representation Types

Dimensions

When you add a Dimension (Figure 1), you can choose a Field and add a custom Label, choose to Include null values, set a data Limitation, choosing from Fixed number (e.g. top 10 values only), Exact value or Relative value (e.g. only show values above 50%). You can also choose to Show others (other values outside the scope of the dimension) and to only display the dimension if a Calculated Condition is met. You can also add a Master Item.

Measures

When you add a Measure (Figure 2), you can set an Expression for the measure, add a Label, select a Number formatting option, and enter a Format pattern. You can also choose to enter a Calculated condition, set the Axis Position and choose to Show Measure Label.

Figure 2: Measure

If the measure has been created from a Master Item, you can choose to enable Master measure formatting, which means formatting for the measure will be taken from the master item definition (you can find master items in the Custom Objects menu in the left hand panel).

Measure Representation Types

You can choose between four types of Representation for your measure: Bar, Line, Icon and Symbol. Each have their own formatting settings.

Bar

When you choose Bar (Figure 3), you can choose to choose the Background color or image, and set the Bar opacity.

Enabling a Benchmark (Figure 4) allows you to create another bar layer behind the existing bars. You can set a Benchmark Value (which can also be an expression), and defines the Benchmark Width, and Benchmark Alignment. You can enter a Custom Tooltip (HTML supported), and choose to Accumulate values (useful for time dimensions if you need to see increments). You can also add a Master Item.
