Similar to a standard bar chart, a circular bar chart shows trends over time and compares data points. This topic describes how to add data to a circular bar chart and configure its style.
Prerequisites
The dashboard has been created. For more information, see Create a Dashboard.
Chart Overview
Scenarios
The visualization is simple and intuitive: the length of each bar represents its value, making it easy to compare differences and trends across data groups.
Key Benefits
Calculation: You can configure year-over-year, month-over-month, or cumulative calculations with a single click.
Visualization: You can display labels, legends, and custom backgrounds.
Example Visualization
Limits
A circular bar chart has two axes: a value axis (measure) and a category axis (dimension).
The category axis uses one dimension, such as Province or Product Type.
The value axis uses one measure, such as Order Amount or Profit.
Chart Field Configuration
On the Fields tab, select the required dimension and measure fields:
In the Dimensions list, find Region. Double-click it or drag it to the Category Axis (Dimension) area.
In the Measures list, find Order Amount. Double-click it or drag it to the Value Axis (Measure) area.
Click Update. The system updates the chart automatically.
To view data for a specific Region, you can apply a filter to display only the data that you need.
Auto-refresh
You can enable this option to automatically refresh the chart data. For example, if you enable auto-refresh and set the interval to 5 minutes, the chart is updated every 5 minutes.

This section describes how to configure chart styles. For more information about common chart style settings, such as the chart title, see Configure the Chart Title.
