Describe a Bar Chart
About the analysis
This out-of-the-box narrative app generates a narrative that describes a bar chart and highlights statistically relevant insights from the underlying data to explain the chart in more detail.
Details covered in the analysis
The length of the narrative and the level of detail the narrative contains depend on which narrative length option is selected in Step 3 of the wizard. The narrative includes some or all of the following:
descriptive statistics, stating total values and outliers across the first two selected dimensions.
a time-based variance analysis, if a time dimension is selected.
Note
Day-on-day, week-on-week, month-on-month, quarter-on-quarter, or year-on-year analysis will be performed depending on the dates covered in your dataset.
Note
The order of drilldown is determined by the order of dimensions set in Step 1 of the wizard.
