Quick BI:Facet Scatter Chart

Last Updated:Apr 29, 2024

A facet scatter chart shows data correlation and distribution. This topic describes how to add data to a facet scatter chart and configure the style of the 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.
