Configure a facet scatter chart - Quick BI - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Prerequisites

You have created a dashboard. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

Overview

Use Cases

A facet scatter chart plots points from two sets of data on a coordinate system, helping you identify correlations between variables or understand distribution patterns.

Key insights include:
- The quantitative correlation between variables.
- The nature of the correlation (linear or curved).
- Outliers that deviate significantly from other data points, allowing you to analyze their potential impact on your model.
Benefits

Automatically calculates conversion rates.
Example

Limitations

A facet scatter chart is configured using the Y-axis/measure, X-axis/measure, and color legend/dimension fields:

The Y-axis is determined by a measure. You can select a maximum of one measure.
The X-axis is determined by measures. You must select between 1 and 3 measures.
The color legend is determined by a data dimension. You can select a maximum of one dimension, and the maximum value for that dimension is 1000.

For example, when you select Product Type for the color legend, a maximum of 1000 product types can be displayed.

Configure Chart Fields

On the Data tab, select the required dimension and measure fields:
- From the Measures list, find order amount and double-click it or drag it to the Y-axis/measure field.
- From the Measures list, find order quantity and double-click it or drag it to the X-axis/measure field.
- From the Dimensions list, find product type and double-click it or drag it to the color legend/dimension field.
Click Update to refresh the chart.
(Optional) Configure auto refresh.

Automatically refreshes the chart data at a set interval. For example, a 5-minute interval refreshes the data every 5 minutes.

Configure Chart Styles

The following style settings are specific to this chart type. For general style settings, see Configure the chart title area.

	Show title and unit	Shows or hides the axis title and unit for the X-axis. You can also configure their names, positions, and text styles.
	Show axis labels	Shows or hides labels on the X-axis. If enabled, you can configure the Axis label display format and Text style. The display format has two modes: Auto and Custom. Auto mode is used by default. In this mode, the axis label inherits the data display format of the measure field on the X-axis. If multiple measure fields exist, the format of the first field is applied. In Custom mode, click the icon to open the Data Display Format Settings dialog box and configure the data format. For more information about the configuration items in the dialog box, see Data display format > Custom.
	Show tick marks	Shows or hides tick marks on the X-axis.
	Show gridlines	Shows or hides gridlines for the X-axis, and configures their line style, width, and color.
	Axis value range and interval	Allows you to set the Maximum/Minimum values for the axis range automatically or manually. Allows you to set a custom interval by step or by number of divisions.
Left Y-axis	Show left Y-axis	Shows or hides the left Y-axis.
	Show title and unit	Shows or hides the axis title and unit for the left Y-axis. You can also configure their names, positions, and text styles.
	Show axis labels	Shows or hides labels on the left Y-axis. If enabled, you can configure the Axis label display format and Text style. The display format has two modes: Auto and Custom. Auto mode is used by default. In this mode, the axis label inherits the data display format of the measure field. In Custom mode, click the icon to open the Data Display Format Settings dialog box and configure the data format.
