Basic Settings
Field | Description | |
---|---|---|
Name | Enter a name for the custom series. | |
Right Axis | Enable this to display the custom series for the data on the right axis. | |
Mode | Choose from:
| |
Algorithm | Available when Mode is set to Algorithm. Choose from the drop down list:
Sum for Multi-Series Chart Sum for Single-Series Chart For an example chart setup using this option, see Creating a Custom Series on a Chart (Trends). | |
Percentile | Available when Mode is set to Percentile. Enter a number between 0 and 100. For an example chart setup using this option, see Creating a Custom Series on a Chart (Trends). | |
Trend Line | Available when Mode is set to Trend Line. Choose from the drop down list: Linear - represent the relationship between variables as a straight line. This is useful where data increases or decreases along a straight line, at a constant rate. Quadratic - represent the relationship between variables as one curve in a line. This is useful where data fluctuates up then down, or vice versa. Cubic - represent the relationship between variables as two curves in a line. This is useful where data fluctuates up and down. Gaussian - represent the relationship between variables as a bell-shaped distribution. This trend line is also known as normal distribution and is characterised by its symmetric shape around the mean. This is useful for showing a symmetrical plot of data around its mean value, where the width of the curve is defined by the standard deviation. | |
Expression | Available when Mode is set to Expression.This field allows values, e.g. 10, or expressions for calculating rescaling and rolling averages. The expression should return either a single value (fixed horizontal line), an array of 2 values (first and last), or an array of values matching the number of x values/categories. The following Internal Variables can be used:
Example //for the attribute, count, convert negative values to 0 and double the positive values forEach( $item, _value.count, if( $item <= 0, 0, $item*2 ) )
Example //increases each value for Company A by 10 _this.CompanyA + 10 Refer to attributes using the syntax, | |
