Adding Formats to Dimensions

To add a visual format to a dimension, follow the steps below:

1. If the chart contains multiple measures with individual styles, click on one of the arrows in the 'Visual' panel title bar to select the par­ticular measure that you want to format. (Or click the area between the arrows to select the measure from a menu.)

 

If desired, select 'all' to apply visual formatting (selected in the next step) to all measures.

2. Drag the desired dimension from the 'Data Source' tree to the desired format field in the 'Visual' pane ('Color', 'Shape', 'Size', or 'Text').

If the dimension is not already used on the chart X-axis, this creates a new subseries using the specified formatting for the selected measure.
