Radar charts
Radar charts compare multiple quantitative variables and are useful for visualizing which variables have similar values, or if outliers exist among the variables. Radar charts consists of a sequence of spokes, with each spoke representing a single variable. Radar Charts are also useful for determining which variables are scoring high or low within a data set.

Creating a simple radar chart

  1. In the Chart Type section, click the Radar icon.

    The canvas updates to display a radar chart template.

  2. Select a Columns variable from the drop-down list.
    Note: Click Add another column to include more columns. At least three columns variables must be defined.
  3. Click the Save visualization in the project control. Select Create a new asset or Append to existing asset. Provide a Visualization asset name, an optional description, and a chart name.
  4. Click Apply to save the visualization to the project. The new visualization asset is now available on the Assets tab.
