Bubble Charts

Note:

Bubble charts are available only in dashboards, not in the Analyzer.

A bubble chart is similar to the X/Y chart. It plots one value on the x-axis and another value on the y-axis. The data source must have at least two columns. The chart displays an elliptical bubble for each row of the data source. The measures are used as follows:

  • The first column determines the horizontal position of the bubble.

  • The second column determines the vertical position.

  • The third column, if included, determines the radius of the bubble.

  • The fourth column, if included, controls additional colorization that is added to the bubbles. All data rows that have the same value for the fourth measure are shown in the same color.

  • The fifth column, if included, determines the opacity of the bubble.

Other columns are ignored.

The following example shows a bubble chart that uses two columns:

This graph shows patient count and population. The data is represented as circles (also called bubbles).

This chart is based on the following pivot table:
