Intro
You wanted to quickly see changes in rank over time, so we created bump charts. With bump charts, you can prioritize the change in rank over the change in numeric values.
Powering Bump Charts
The bump chart requires the x-axis dimension, the y-axis measure and the series for multiple lines. For information about value, category, and series data, see Understanding Chart Data. In the Analyzer, you choose the columns containing the data for your bump chart. For more information about choosing data columns, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart. For more information about formatting charts in the Analyzer, see Visualization Card Building Part 2: The Analyzer.Customizing Bump Charts
