Report Services Document Analysis Guide Exploring Your Data with Visual Insight Analyses 4
The graph styles available for a Graph Matrix visualization are described
below:
• Line: You can display your data as a vertical or horizontal line graph, to
view lines representing metric values for each element of an attribute.
• Bar: You can display your data as a vertical or horizontal bar graph, to
view bars representing metric values for each element of an attribute.
• Scatter: You can display a scatter plot that allows you to visualize the
trends of two different metrics for a set of attribute elements. In the
scatter plot:
One bubble is displayed for each attribute element.
Each bubble’s position on the X-axis represents the value of the first
metric.
Each bubble's position on the Y-axis represents the value of the
second metric.
• Bubble: You can display a bubble plot that allows you to visualize the
trends of three different metrics for a set of attribute elements. In the
bubble plot:
One bubble is displayed for each attribute element.
Each bubble’s position on the X-axis represents the value of the first
metric.
Each bubble's position on the Y-axis represents the value of the
second metric.
The size of each bubble represents the value of the third metric.
• Grid: You can use the Grid style to identify trends across combinations of
data. Each marker in the grid can be automatically sized or colored based
on the value of a metric. For example, a separate bubble can be displayed
for each combination of Region and Product Category. Bubbles
representing large revenue values are displayed in dark green, and
bubbles for smaller revenue values are displayed in light green.
Click on graph elements (such as lines, bar risers, or bubbles) to drill up
or down and examine your data at the level of a specific attribute element,
or filter the data to display only the graph elements that you are
interested in.
