I’m having trouble building a bar chart that would have few categories and in each of them a metric should be split by a pivot.


For example I have number of sessions and two dimensions:


time: this week, last year
type: new, returning

I would like the barchart to look like this:


 _____
|new |
|_____|
|ret |
|_____|


and this bar chart to be repeated by pivot: last year, this year etc.


I can’t achieve that. I create table with new/ret as dimension and few measures (last year, this week etc.) but I can’t make the bar charts to be split by the category… any thoughts?


– edit


Now when I think about it, it would be pretty easily accomplished if we had transposition…

Hi Dawid,


If you have a dimension that splits timestamps and one that splits the type, it should not be a problem to achieve this.

What is the measure you are using?



  1. If you put in - for example - a date_year-field as a regular dimension with a filter on the past 2 years.

  2. Then add the type as a pivot.

  3. Add the measure

  4. Choose Bar Visualisation

  5. Under Edit, click on Stacked


Or am I missing something?

If you want to transpose measures, I coincidently just read an article on that:



Kind regards,


Daan
