Grid Chart

    Working With the Grid Chart in the Visualization Editor

    The grid chart is a visualization option for displaying data, which presents the information in a matrix. You can resize a column's width by selecting the grid header, which will highlight the whole column. Drag the side left or right to modify the column's width.

    Resizing a column's width in a grid chart

    You can adjust the size of your font by going to the Settings section and choosing a different size. The default one is Small. The Medium size will increase the size by 2px, whereas Large will increase it by 4px.

    Different options for the font size

    You can also set the first column to be in a fixed position by checking the Fix First Column option under Settings. This is particularly useful when working with many columns.

    Note

    The grid chart is suitable in a dashboard when the number of rows and columns is less than 10. When you're dealing with small amounts of data, the preferred approach may be to "just show the numbers".

    Column Sorting in Dashboard View Mode

    The grid chart allows you to change the sorting of your columns (ascending or descending) in Dashboard View mode. You can do so by selecting the arrows icon next to the column name.

    Grid Chart Sorting Columns Options

    You can apply more than one sorting criteria. Then, you will see small number icons appearing next to the existing column headers. The direction of the arrow will help you determine whether you applied ascending or descending sorting.

    Sorting View All Numbers

    You can also choose to remove any existing sorting options you have entered with the None or Clear All options. If any other sorting options remain, the order in which they will be applied will be determined by the number next to the column header.
