Understanding Data with Alteryx Auto Insights

Executive Missions-Identical Measures + Segments, Different chart options

Hi!

I am trying to understand why I am getting two different chart options under the same type of data. I am creating a page under total tags by company name rolling range 2018 vs 2017-2016. 

Under data 1 I get the option to use a line graph to analyze but under data 2 I am not getting that option. Any insight as to why the system is treating them differently? My only theory is that the first data set is half the rows of the second.

Hi @ebdevore can you share some screenshots of what you're seeing? 

When I attempt to do the same queries (total tags by company name rolling range 2018 vs 2017-2016), I can get a line graph for both datasets.

We do dynamically adjust the available chart types based on the data - when doing a breakdown like this (by 'company name') we only provide the line chart option when there are fewer than a certain number of data points (I think 10?), and in both datasets I see that there are 5 companies.

HI Bradshaw!

 

I'm not sure if its because I built the page myself then. But i did not get that option when i went to custom edit the mission.
