how do i incorporate meaningful mini chart and linear gauge on my table
Hello,
How do i set up mini chart and linear guage on my tables. They makes your table more attractive. But the problem i have with it is how do a user understand the value of the chart? Find attached
First you need to define what end result is desired.
As in when the Users see the mini chart what information will they derive from it and then what will they do as a consequence of now being aware of that information.
To set them up for the expression in question :
Under Display Options | Representation
Change it from Text to say Mini Chart
Click Mini Chart Settings and set up as required.
If you just wish to make things look prettier then I would not use them as it will just cause a distraction.
Take a metric like Percentage Sales Verses Target. In the table there would be two expressions. The first would be the value and the second would be the mini chart.
As Bill mentioned its all about the desired results so the mini chart maybe a gauge or perhaps its sparklines with time as its dimension. The user can see the actual and see the context (in the mini chart) which allows them to detirmine if the results are trending up or down....
