Quick BI:Facet Scatter Chart

Last Updated:Feb 09, 2026

A facet scatter chart shows the correlation and distribution of data. This topic describes how to add data to a facet scatter chart and configure its style.

Prerequisites

The dashboard has been created. For more information, see Create a Dashboard.

Overview

  • Scenarios

    A facet scatter chart uses two datasets to form multiple data points. You can examine the distribution of these points to determine whether a correlation exists between multiple variables or to summarize their distribution patterns.

    It provides the following key information:

    • Whether a quantitative correlation trend exists between variables.

    • If a correlation trend exists, whether it is linear or curved.

    • If one or more points deviate from the majority, they are considered outliers. A scatter chart clearly shows these outliers. You can then analyze whether these outliers significantly impact the overall modeling analysis.

  • Benefits

    The computing capability automatically calculates the conversion rate.

  • Example

Limits

A facet scatter chart consists of the following fields: Y-axis/Measure, X-axis/Measure, and Color Legend/Dimension.

  • The Y-axis is determined by data measures. You can select a maximum of one measure.

  • The X-axis is determined by data measures. You can select at least one and a maximum of three measures.

  • The color legend is determined by data dimensions. You can select a maximum of one dimension. The dimension can have up to 1,000 values.

    For example, if you select Product Type for the Color Legend, the product type can have a maximum of 1,000 values.

Configure Chart Fields

  1. On the Data tab, select the required dimension and measure fields:

    • In the Measures list, find Order amount. Double-click or drag it to the Y-axis/Measure area.

    • In the Measures list, find Order quantity. Double-click or drag it to the X-axis/Measure area.

    • In the Dimensions list, find Product Type. Double-click or drag it to the Color Legend/Dimension area.

  2. Click Update. The system automatically updates the chart.

  3. (Optional) Configure auto-refresh.

    If you enable this option, the system automatically refreshes the chart data at a specified interval. For example, if you set the duration to 5 minutes, the chart data is refreshed every 5 minutes.
