Chart

Type

You can select the desired diagram type by clicking on the corresponding icon.

Orientation

All diagrams can be used horizontally and vertically aligned:

  • horizontal for developments over time (Time),
  • vertical for structural comparisons (Structure).

Base Chart

The Base Chart checkbox shows and hides the basic chart. This allows deviation charts to be used without basic charts.

Chart Type By Series

To display combination charts, select the desired chart type from the dropdown (None, Bar, Line, Offsetbar, Pin, Stackedbar, Waterfall).

Deviations

Configuration

Use the + sign to create deviations, which are shown above the basic diagram. To remove a deviation, click the red trash can. By default, an absolute and a percentage deviation are shown. The checkbox (de)activates the visibility of a deviation.

Configuration Pop-Up

The checkbox Enabled sets the visibility of the selected deviation.

  • Label: Name the deviation.
  • Type: Choose between absolute or percentage deviation.
  • Minuend: The value to be used as a reference value.
  • Subtrahend: The value that is checked to see how far it deviates from the reference value.

Calculation:

Absolute: minuend- subtrahend

Percentage: (minuend - subtrahend) / | subtrahend|

The order in which these deviation axes are displayed corresponds to the order in the Deviations Configuration.

Calculate Deviations from NULL

Specifies whether deviations should also be calculated from NULL values.

Good Color

Here you can set the color for positive connoted values by clicking on the corresponding colored circle to open the color picker.

Bad

Here you can set the colors for negatively connoted values by clicking on the corresponding colored circle to open the color picker.

Neutral Color

Here you can set the colors for neutral connoted values by clicking on the corresponding colored circle to open the color picker.

Negative Deviation Is Good

This option inverts the color scheme for the colors of the deviation. For example, negative values can be displayed with green color when using the original colors.

Deviation Bar Width for Scenarios

The Bar Width applies to the bar width (percent or absolute) of the absolute deviations. (Applies if the option 'Scenarios in Deviation' on the Data Tab is activated).

Deviation Pin Width

Use this option to define the width of the needle in the percentage deviation chart. The option takes effect when the 'Scenarios in Deviations' option is enabled on the Data Tab.

Pin Line Black

This option colors the needle line in the deviation graph black.

Use Pin Head Color

(De)activates the selected Pin Head Color. If deactivated, the stored color values of the deviations are applied (default: green/red)

Pin Head Color 

The head color of the needle in the percentage deviation diagram. The color is not applied to the needle heads in the base chart.

Pin Head Shape

Select which shape in the line chart is used for a data point. The following options are available:

  • circle
  • rect
  • rhomb
  • triangle
  • wedge
  • none

Spacing

Spacing also in [px] defines the distance between the basic and deviation diagram.
