Creating a new bar chart

You can add a new bar chart to the sheet you are editing. When you create a new bar chart, you can add dimensions and measures to it in various ways, according to your preferences and depending on if the app is published or not.

To create a new bar chart, you need to carry out the following steps:

  1. Add an empty bar chart to the sheet
  2. Add one or more dimensions to the bar chart
  3. Add one or more measures to the bar chart

You can add dimensions and measures to the chart in different ways:

From one or more data fields Creating a new visualization from fields
From reusable master items Creating a new visualization using master items
Tip noteIf you double-click on or drag a measure from the panel on the left-hand side, a bar chart is added on the sheet using the measure. You only need to add a dimension to make the bar chart complete.

When you have created the bar chart, you may want to adjust its appearance and change settings using the properties panel.
