An area chart is a variation on the line or time series chart. It uses shaded areas under the plotted lines on the graph to indicate the volume of data represented by the lines. Like a time series, area charts are useful for seeing how your data trends over time.

Area charts in Insights

Area charts let you visualize a single dimension (the breakdown dimension) and a single metric, plotted over time.

Area chart example

The example below shows 2 area charts. Both charts show sales data from a fictional pet store. The chart on the left shows sales of items by category (contained in a Device type dimension). This dimension has 3 values: Personal computer, Smart phone và Other.

The metric In both charts is Viewable (called Viewable in the data source).

These examples show 2 different styles of area chart. The left one is stacked: the series values appear in layers, building one atop the other. The right is unstacked: each series starts at the same baseline.

Time dimension

A time dimension provides a time-based X-axis for your chart. The data type of this dimension determines the granularity of the time series. For example, to visualize daily data, use the Date data type with full year, month, and day. To group the data by calendar quarter, change the data type to Year Quarter.

Drill down

This option appears on charts that support drill down.

Drilling down gives viewers a way to reveal additional levels of detail within a chart. When you turn on Drill down, each dimension you add becomes another level of detail you can drill into. Learn more about chart drill down.

Breakdown dimension

The Breakdown Dimension displays the metric data broken down according to the selected dimension. For example, a chart showing annual sales data could be broken down by a Sales Region dimension to show sales by region, or by an Employee ID dimension to show sales by sales associate.

Metric

Metrics measure the things contained in dimensions and provide the numeric scale and data series for the chart.

Add metrics to the chart by dragging fields from the Available Fields panel on the right. You can also click Add metric in the Data tab.

You can display a single metric in an area chart.

Set the default sort

The Sort and Secondary sort options in the chart's DATA properties panel control the default sorting behavior. You can select any metric in the chart's data source, or any dimension currently displayed in the chart, to use as the primary or secondary sorting field.

The Secondary sort option only appears when there is an appropriate combination of dimensions and metrics in the chart.

Default date range

The default date range property lets you set a timeframe for an individual chart.

Default date range options

Auto

Use the default date range determined by the chart's data source.

Custom

Lets you use the calendar widget to select a custom date range for the chart.

Date compare type

Displays comparison data for the selected time period.

Learn more about working with dates and time.

Filter

The filter property restricts the data displayed in the component by including or excluding the values you specify.

Filter options

Filter name

+Add a filter

Creates a new filter for the chart.

Interactions

When interactions are enabled on a chart, that charts acts like a filter controls. You can filter the report by clicking or "brushing" your mouse across the chart. Learn more about chart interaction filters.

Style properties

A chart's style properties control the overall presentation and appearance of the chart.

Area Chart

This section controls the overall appearance and layout of your chart.

Show Stack

Stacks the data series.

100% Stacking

When checked, stacked charts show the contribution of each data series to 100% of the total value.

Show Cumulative

When checked, data series are summed over time. Otherwise, the data is shown with no additional aggregation.

Show points

Displays individual data points. Viewers can mouse over a data point to display its value.

Show data labels

Displays individual values for the data points in the series.

Compact Numbers

Turn on Show data labels to see this option: Rounds numbers and displays the unit indicator. E.g., 553,939 becomes 553.9K.

Decimal Precision

Turn on Show data labels to see this option: Sets the number of decimal places in metric values.

Number of series

Determines the number of secondary dimension series shown in the chart. If the number of series selected is less than the number of series in your data, only the top N series will be shown (where N equals the number of series you've selected). Remaining series will be grouped in an "other" category.

Color by

This section controls how your data is colored. Learn more about coloring your data.

These options appear when you have a secondary (breakdown) dimension in your chart.

Single Color

You can change the series colors using the color pickers below.

Series order

Use the current theme to color the data according to its position in the chart. This option emphasizes the ranking of the data over the identity of the data.

You can set specific colors using each data series' color picker.

Dimension values

Colors each dimension value in the chart with the color specified in the dimension value color map. This option ensures that your data uses color consistently, regardless of the position of that data in the chart.

Missing data

This option appears when your time dimension is missing data. Insights offers 3 ways of dealing with this situation.

Note: this option has no effect on bar series. The Line to Zero option will affect a trendline, however.

Line to Zero

When you select this option, a line series will drop to zero for the missing dates. This is the default option.

Line Breaks

When this option is selected, missing data appears as breaks in the data series.

Linear Interpolation

When this option is selected, Data Studio will continue the series by connecting the data points on either side of the missing data.

Axes

These options control the display of the chart axes titles and scales. A right Y-axis section appears when you have more than 1 metric in your chart.

Axis options

Show on hover (default)

Three vertical dots appear when you mouse over the chart header. Click these to access the header options.
