First Steps

Step by step tutorial

Create a sheet with your data and add it to the dashboard. The sheet must have a column for dimensions and a row for the axis. Make sure the dataset is complete (no null values).

You can further customize the Radar. In this example, the background color and the minimum of the scale are set directly by typing a value in the window. The data color is taken in the sheet.

To create a filter, click the filter icon. Select the target sheet, source field, and target field, then click Save. The filter is now active. Click a dot to apply the filter. Hold Ctrl and click to select multiple elements.
