Creating a trellised visualization
A visualization that is trellised is split into a number of panels, where each panel represents a subset of the data. Using trellised visualizations, you can spot similarities and differences between the subsets of data, or within the subsets.
About this task
For splitting data per data columns, see Visualizations trellised by data columns.
For example, the image below shows temperature data that is gathered
for the different seasons during a three-year period. The maximum temperature
per year is displayed in a bar chart.
Assume you want to compare the highest temperature per season category across the years. By trellising the visualization by season you can view the seasonal temperatures in different panels.
The panels above are placed horizontally, but you can also place them vertically, or evenly distributed in a matrix.

Note: Table
visualizations, cross tables, and summary tables cannot be trellised.
Before you begin
Procedure
In the
Data in analysis flyout, click the column
containing the categories you want to split the visualization by, and drag it
on any of the trellis drop targets.
The visualization splits into panels.
Tip: In
the
Properties popover for the visualization, the
Trellis section, more
trellis options are available.
