When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”A ranked comparison drawn as a thin stem with a dot at the value — the same information as a bar chart with far less ink. It stays legible where a bar chart would turn into a solid block: many categories, or a dashboard already dense with heavy marks.
Field wells
Section titled “Field wells”| Well | Accepts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Category | dimension | |
| Value | measure | |
| Tooltip | fields | extra fields shown on hover |
Click a field in the Fields list, or drop it on the chart, and it goes to the well that fits it — see where a field goes. To choose the well yourself, drop the field on it or use its + Add field.
Measure wells carry a quick-calc dropdown (running total, YoY %, % of total, …); SquareX measures are listed with the fields, under Measures.
Format options that matter here
Section titled “Format options that matter here”- data labels
- reference lines
The full panel is described in Charts & formatting.
- With few categories and a mixed audience, a plain Bar is the safer read — lollipops trade a little familiarity for a lot of clarity at scale.
