Graphical table

A graphical table is a summarizing visualization designed to provide a lot of information at one glance.

Note: Graphical tables must be authored in the installed client.

A graphical table can be set up to show columns with items such as

  • sparklines that are line charts in miniature
  • calculated values that are derived from aggregations or expressions
  • conditional icons that indicate certain conditions
  • bullet graphs that compare two values symbolized by a horizontal bar and a vertical line on a colored background.

The items are dynamic, which means they respond instantly to filtering and other property changes.

In the graphical table below, the dynamic items show sales performance for different categories within each region.



You can add any number of dynamic items to a graphical table. Each dynamic item column uses its own axis expression and it can also be filtered and limited by markings separately. This way, you can show both the total values for some calculated value and the currently filtered values simultaneously.

When a hierarchical structure is set up, the graphical table is grouped into sections and sorting can be performed within each section by clicking a column header.
