Create a chart block

After executing a query, you can choose to display the data as a chart in a chart block. Below are the steps to share a query as a chart.

1. Click Graph Results on the bottom of the query block

2. Select the x-axis, y-axis, and optionally the dimension. These options will be automatically selected based on the data in the query results.

3. Select the format of the values (numeric, percentage, currency, decimal)

4. Click Create graph

5. The chart will be embedded directly below the query

At this time the chart blocks only support line graphs for time-series data.

Additionally, a chart can be embedded anywhere within the documentation by using the /Query Chart command. Here's the steps to do this.

1. Use the /Query Chart command in the documentation editor

2. Select a query from the Query option

3. Select the x-axis, y-axis, and optionally dimension, and format

4. Click Create graph
