Configuring chart click actions to redirect to a specific metric ### 4. **Group X-Axis** Enable grouping to group your data along the x-axis to streamline visualization. #### Use Case: Let us take a combo chart with dual scales showing quantity sold (purple bars) and profit (blue line) by store name and client name. When you toggle on **Group X-Axis**: * The detailed view automatically consolidates into four main store name groups * Both quantity sold and profit values are aggregated within each group * The result is a clearer visualization showing consolidated performance by store Grouping x-axis values to consolidate chart data for clearer comparison ### 5. **Sort on Metric Card** Sort the data directly on the metric card for better insights. * Turn on the **Sort on Metric Card** Toggle and save the metric to Dashboard. * Right Click on the chart to sort the data in either ascending or descending order. Sorting chart data directly from the metric card using right-click options ### 6. **Switch X axis, Switch Y axis** You can add Metric Filters for each card just like "Dashboard Filters". For an in-depth guide on adding metric filters, refer to the below link. Learn how to toggle between axis dimensions to change your chart's view dynamically. ### 7. **End user measures & dimensions** To configure dimensions and measures for charts and adjust them as needed, enhancing interactive data exploration capabilities. **Use Case:** Let us take a line chart with multiple metrics – quantity sold, unit price, and profit across stores. When you toggle ON **"End user measures & dimensions"** and select: * **Dimension**: store name * **Measure**: quantity sold The chart immediately simplifies to show only quantity sold across stores, making it easier to analyze this specific metric. Configuring end user measures and dimensions to refine chart data ### 8. **Drill Down** * For charts with multiple dimensions, toggle the **Drill down** option. * **Cross Dashboard Drill-down**: Adjust the entire dashboard based on your selected dimensions. Enabling drill down functionality within charts for deeper exploration For more details, kindly refer the below links: Learn how to enable and use drill-down functionality on metric cards. Configure and apply cross-filters across dashboards using drill-down context. ### 9. **Forecasting** Enable or disable forecasting to predict future trends. **Use Case:**\ Let us take a line chart showing quantity over time (2022–2024). When you toggle ON **"Forecast"** and configure: * **Time Grain**: Choose the relevant time intervals * **ARIMA Model Options**: Choose from linear, constant, or constant + linear * **Prophet Model Options**: Select linear or flat trends * **Adjust Hyperparameters**: Fine-tune your forecasting models Configuring forecasting models such as ARIMA and Prophet for future trend prediction ### 10. **Hide Coloumns Using Custom Underlying Data Dropdown or Security Actions Dropdown** * **Hide Columns by SQL Query**: Write the corresponding SQL query to hide required columns from Underlying Data. Hiding underlying data columns using custom SQL query * **Hide Columns**: Conceal specific columns from view. * **Hide Columns from CSV data**: Prevent certain columns from being included in CSV exports. Using security action settings to hide columns from charts and exports These options may vary depending on the **"Chart Type"** chosen.
