Describe a Pie Chart

About the analysis

This out-of-the-box narrative app generates a narrative that describes a pie 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:

  • the totals as numbers and percentages.

  • the biggest and smallest contributors, contributors with uniform distributions, and outliers.

Note

Dates are always reported using the formal American written format. For example, "January 1, 2021".

Required dimensions and measures

This app can analyze:

  • two or more measures (no dimensions)

  • one dimension (can be a time dimension) and one measure

Minimum requirement: two measures, or one dimension (can be a time dimension) and one measure.

Important

The Entity Type field of each time dimension must be set to DateTime in Step 1 of the wizard.

If your data selection does not meet the specific requirements for a particular app, that app is grayed out and unavailable for selection. For example, if no time dimensions have been configured, the Time-Based Variance app is disabled:
