Once you have created a chart, you may want to customize it by:
- Renaming selected elements
- Reordering selected elements
- Changing visualization layout by handling points, series, and filters
To customize a visualization, switch to the customize mode by clicking the gear icon.
- To rename selected elements, click the pencil icon.
- To reorder selected elements, drag-and-drop (e.g. click Austria and drag it below Belgium).
- To change the layout, switch between points, series, and filters by clicking the letters P, S, and F, respectively.
- Chart (all variations of line and bar). Series are elements of legend, while points are axis categories.
-
Tables. Manipulate columns and rows (instead of series and points, as in charts). For example, open the dimension that contains the information you want in the table columns. Choose C for columns.
-
Pie and donut charts. Points are pie shares and series are the timeline.
-
Radar. Series are elements of legend, while points are corners of a radar.
-

-
Treemap, sunburst, and tree charts. Rows are elements of the chart.
