Overview
The Statistics tab is part of Insights (Insights → Statistics). After you upload a .csv to a workspace and complete data mapping, you can use the Statistics tab to generate graphs and view your data visually.
What you can do here
- Choose to view your data in a Line, Bar, Scatter, or Line3D chart.
- Download your chart as an Image or Export as CSV.
✅ Prerequisite
Upload your.csvto a workspace and map its columns to the platform. Once mapping is successful, open Insights → Statistics to create charts.
Typical outcomes
- Visualize time-based trends (e.g., a Line chart with a time column on X-Axis).
- Compare categories (e.g., a Bar chart with a categorical column on X-Axis).
- Explore numeric relationships (e.g., a Scatter plot of one numeric column vs another).
Accessing Statistics Tab
Follow these steps after you’ve uploaded and mapped your .csv in the workspace.
To access the statistics tab, do the following:
- Open your Workspace that contains the mapped
.csv. - Select Insights tab and then click the Statistics tab.
The Statistics page is displayed. In the page, you will see controls for:
- Chart Type (Line, Bar, Scatter, Line3D)
- X-Axis
- X-Axis Type (Value, Category, Time, Log)
- Y-Axis
The X-Axis and Y-Axis drop-downs list the columns from your mapped .csv. If a column you expect isn’t listed, verify your CSV mapping first.
Understanding the Chart Controls
The Statistics tab provides four core controls. Use them together to produce a meaningful chart from your mapped .csv.
Chart Type
| Chart type | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Line | Plots a sequence over an ordered domain | Time-based data (e.g., timestamped series) |
| Bar | Compares magnitudes across items | Categories (e.g., country, region) |
| Scatter | Shows relationship between two measures | Two numeric columns |
| Line3D | Line chart with 3D perspective | Dense sequences where depth aids readability |
X-Axis
Select the CSV column to display along the horizontal axis. Typical choices:
| Item | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Time column → X-Axis Type = Time | Your X data is dates/timestamps | CaptureTime, PublishTime |
| Category column → X-Axis Type = Category | Your X data is names/labels | CountryName, RegionName |
| Numeric column → X-Axis Type = Value/Log | Your X data is numeric (use Log if values span orders of magnitude) | CapacityBarrels |
X-Axis Type
| Item | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Time | X is a date/time column | Plot CaptureTime on X |
| Category | X is categorical labels | Plot CountryName on X |
| Value | X is numeric (linear scale) | Plot CapacityBarrels on X |
| Log | X numeric spans orders of magnitude | Plot CapacityBarrels on X with Log |
Picking the correct X-Axis Type is essential. If dates appear as repeated labels (not a timeline), switch the X-Axis Type to Time. If category labels overlap, consider a broader category or reduce the number of categories.
Y-Axis
| Item | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric column on Y | When you are measuring totals/counts/continuous values | FillBarrels, CapacityBarrels, CylinderHeight(m), HeightDrop(m), RadiusAverage(m) |
