Label and Values

Select the label

The label is a column of data that will act as one main axis of comparison. For example, in a dataset mapping changes over time, the label column would be 'Year'.

This would result in the data visualisation below. 

Set the values

The values are the columns of data that will be displayed in the visualisation. For example, in a dataset comparing country population by year, the columns listed under 'Values' will be population number and year.

✨  Use '-' or',' to include multiple columns in your visualisation. E.g. 'B-D' or 'B,D,E'

Swap visualisation type

1. Click Visualisation under Swap visualisation.
