The sharing pane lets you see who

13. Smart Lookup lets you explore

14. The Treemap chart provides a
colorful hierarchical view of your

different levels of categorization.

15. With a Waterfall chart, you can
quickly illustrate the line items in
your financial data and get a clear
picture of how each item is
impacting your bottom line.

16. Commonly used in statistics, a
histogram automatically displays
the frequencies within a
distribution. For example, use the
chart to display the distribution of
the book prices in inventory to
ensure you are meeting your
customer’s needs.

17. The Sunburst chart shows the full
hierarchy of the groups to
provide deeper analysis
capabilities. With a Sunburst
chart, it’s easy to see the largest
contributing segments within a
hierarchy of multiple levels.

18. Using the Pareto chart, you can
discover which opportunities in
your data provide the largest
impact. The chart automatically
sorts the frequency of category-
based data, like customer service
request issues, and shows the
additive contributions of each
issue.

19. The Box & Whisker chart shows
the distribution of your data in a
simple format. For deeper
analysis, this chart goes further by
providing key insights about the
distribution in one view, including
range, quartiles, mean and
outliers. And you get all of this
information with a few clicks.
