How do I display charts?

Text

To display data points as text labels:

1.	From the Attributes list, drag & drop a field to the shelf of the Rows card. Analysis reports will display labels for the field along the left side of the Pivot Grid.

2.	From the Measures list, drag & drop a field to the shelf of the Columns card. Analysis reports will display a scale along the bottom edge of the Pivot Grid.

3.	From the Attributes or Measures list, drag & drop any field to the Label field of the Encodings card. The Abc... default text is replaced with the text value of the data.

Bar chart

2.	From the Measures list, drag & drop a field to the shelf of the Columns card. Analysis reports will display a scale along the bottom edge of the Pivot Grid.

3.	On the Encodings card, select Bar from the Marking drop-down list.
