Bi-Variate Charts

A bi-variate chart in Infoveave allows you to examine the relationship between a measure value and a primary dimension while further segmenting the data by an additional dimension. These charts allow you to visualize how different categories affect the measured value across various segments, providing valuable insights into trends and variations.

Example A primary measure value, “quantity,” can be analyzed and plotted against the primary dimension, “order priority.” It indicates the number of items sold under different priority levels, such as high, medium, or low. To gain a more nuanced understanding, the data is further segmented by the “country” dimension, enabling the comparison of sales quantities in each “order priority” across various countries.
