Break down
This is a Beta feature. The documentation and feature may change rapidly.
Introduction
Analyzing how a metric — such as Sales — is distributed across different dimensions like Country, Product, or Segment is a common use case. Traditionally, doing this means creating multiple repetitive charts for each dimension, which leads to cluttered dashboards.
With Holistics’ Break Down feature, you can instantly dissect a metric or switch between dimensions — all directly on your dashboard with no setup required.
This allows for cleaner dashboards and offers a more intuitive and flexible way to analyze your data.
The Break Down feature also works seamlessly with other interactions, including Drill Down and Cross-Filtering, so you can perform different analyses on the fly.
Supported Visualizations
- Line, column, bar, area and combination charts
- Pie, donut, pyramid and funnel charts
- Pivot table
- Conversion funnel chart
Who Has Access to This Feature
Users with permission to explore the underlying dataset of a visualization — typically those with the Explorer, Analyst, or Admin roles — can use this feature.
This feature is not available to users accessing visualizations via shareable links, as they are limited to Viewer role.
If you wish to allow users with the Viewer role to switch breakdown dimensions, you can configure a Dynamic Dimensions Selection Filter using a parameter field and AQL.
Customizing List of Dimensions (coming soon)
Dashboard builders can configure a list of relevant dimensions to ensure the best user experience.
This feature is currently under development.
