Quick BI:Facet Scatter Chart

Prerequisites

A dashboard is created. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

Limits

When you create a facet scatter chart, you must specify measures and dimensions in the Y Axis (Mea.), X Axis (Mea.), and Color Legend (Dim.) sections.

• You can specify only one measure in the Y Axis (Mea.) section.

• You can specify one to three measures in the X Axis (Mea.) section.

• You can specify only one dimension in the Color Legend (Dim.) section. The dimension can have up to 1,000 values.

  For example, if you add product_type to the Color Legend (Dim.) section, up to 1,000 product types can be displayed.

Overview

• Scenarios

  Two sets of data are used to form multiple coordinate points. A facet scatter chart is used to show the correlation and distribution of the data.

  Used to provide key information:

  • Whether a relationship exists among variables.

  • Whether the relationship among variables is linear or not.

  • Whether one or more outliers exist. You can further analyze whether the outliers affect modeling analysis.

• Benefits

  Computing power: A facet scatter chart automatically calculates the conversion rate.

• Renderings

  

Create a chart

1. In the Data pane, select dimensions and measures based on your business requirements.

   • In the Measures list, double-click order_amt. You can also drag order_amt to the Y Axis (Mea.) field.

   • In the measure list, double-click order_number. You can also drag this measure to the X Axis (Mea.) section.

   • In the Dimension list, double-click product_type. You can also drag this dimension to the Color Legend (Dim.) section.

2. Click Update to create the LBS heat map.

   

3. (Optional) Automatic refresh.

   After you select Auto Refresh, the system refreshes the chart as scheduled. For example, if you select Auto Refresh, enter 5, and then select Minutes, The system automatically refreshes chart data every 5 minutes.
