Creating a Microcharts widget The Microcharts widget consists of compact representations of data that allow analysts to quickly visualize trends in data. Microcharts convey information so that a user can, at a glance, determine the trend of a metric over time or how a metric is performing compared to forecasted figures. The Microcharts widget is useful for this purpose because individual microcharts can display attribute and metric data in a small graph that would otherwise be displayed as a single value in a grid report cell. Use a Microcharts widget to quickly visualize the trend of a metric at a glance without having to know many additional details. The bar, sparkline, and bullet microcharts used in the Microcharts widget convey information that an analyst can understand by looking at the graph once. Each of the microcharts provides a unique way to visualize your data, as described below: Microchart Description Bar chart Bar microcharts plot a metric with respect to time using a single bar, displaying a metric’s current value and historical data to visualize the shape of the trend. © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
