FAQ
What scenarios is a Matrix Bubble Chart suitable for?
- Use a Matrix Bubble Chart when you need to compare two dimensions together with one value size.
- For example, you can use the X-axis and Y-axis for two category dimensions and use bubble size for a key metric.
- This type of chart works well for business distribution analysis, project priority review, and user segmentation.
What determines bubble size?
- Bubble size is determined by the field selected under "Bubble Size."
- After you choose the field in the data configuration panel, larger values usually produce larger bubbles.
- If the visual difference is not obvious, check whether the selected field is an appropriate numeric field.
How to make a bubble chart easier to read when bubbles overlap?
- First, use "Data Filter" to reduce the amount of data shown at one time.
- Then use "Series Color" or chart element settings to improve visual distinction among data points.
- If the chart is still crowded, adjust the analysis dimensions or split the data into multiple charts.
How can I use a Matrix Bubble Chart in reporting materials?
- Select the chart and click the "..." menu in the upper-right corner.
- Choose "Copy as Image" or "Export as Image."
- Insert the generated image into a report document, presentation, or other reporting material.
