Visualizations

Turn raw query results into charts, tables, and maps that surface the patterns in your data.

Visualization is the representation of your raw data in graphical form. Holistics supports a wide range of visualization types, from simple tables to fully custom charts, grouped here by the kind of data they're built for.

Types of Visualizations

Tables

Tabular and grid-style visualizations for detailed, row-level data and structured breakdowns.

Data table

The default view: every row of your query result, sortable and formatted.

Pivot table

Cross-tabulate values across rows and columns to compare groups.

Cohort retention

Track how groups of users behave over time after a starting event.

Conversion funnel

Visualize drop-off across the steps of a multi-stage process.

Metric sheets

A spreadsheet-style grid for laying out metrics side by side.

Single value, KPI, and metrics

Compact visualizations for highlighting a single number or tracking it against a goal.

KPI metric

Show one headline number, with optional comparison and trend.

Gauge chart

Plot a value against a range to show progress toward a target.

Line, bar, and other charts

The core chart library for trends, distributions, comparisons, and relationships.

Line chart

Show how values change over a continuous dimension like time.

Area chart

A line chart with the area below filled in to emphasize volume.

Bar chart

Compare values across categories with horizontal bars.

Column chart

Compare values across categories with vertical columns.

Combination chart

Layer bars and lines together to plot two related measures.

Pie & donut chart

Show how parts make up a whole as proportional slices.

Scatter chart

Plot two measures against each other to spot correlation.

Bubble chart

A scatter chart with a third measure mapped to bubble size.

Pyramid & funnel chart

Show staged or ranked values as tapering segments.

Radar chart

Compare several measures across categories on a circular axis.

Word cloud

Size words by frequency to highlight prominent terms.

Maps

Geospatial visualizations for plotting data across locations and regions.

Geo map

Plot your data on a geographic map. The starting point for all map types.

Point map

Drop a marker at each location to show individual data points.

Heatmap

Shade areas by density to reveal geographic hotspots.

Filled map

Color regions by value for choropleth-style comparisons.

Dynamic content blocks

Build custom, data-driven content using HTML and Markdown templates.

Dynamic content blocks

Render data-driven content with your own HTML or Markdown templates.

Getting started

Set up your first dynamic content block step by step.

Syntax reference

The template syntax for binding data into your content.

Template gallery

Ready-made templates you can copy and adapt.

Custom charts

When the built-in types don't fit, build your own with the custom chart library.

Custom charts

Define bespoke visualizations using the custom chart framework.

Box plot

Summarize a distribution with quartiles, median, and outliers.

Candlestick chart

Plot open, high, low, and close values over time.

Histogram

Group values into bins to see how a measure is distributed.

Waterfall chart

Show how sequential increases and decreases add up to a total.

Operations with Visualizations

By default, Holistics displays your report data in a table. While this gives you a full view of your query result, sometimes interesting patterns only show themselves when you give them shapes and colors.

Enforce a custom order for your Visualization's legends

By default, Holistics would sort the legends in your Visualizations alphabetically. Consider this workaround from the Holistics Community to override this behavior.

FAQs

Error: Too many columns, not showing all data

This error happens when you add a field (which contains more than 100 values) to the **Column Field **(of Pivot Table) or Legend Field (of other charts) in the Viz Setting.

Currently, we only support showing a maximum of 100 columns. If the field has more than 100 values, Holistics will visualize a preview of the first 100 columns. It is recommended that you use a column with low cardinality in the Column field or Legend field to reduce visual clutter, which will improve the readability of your chart.
