Examining a Chart or Table

You can examine the data behind a chart or view a chart based on selected table data.

While designing your story, you can open the Examine panel to explore certain types of tiles:

• Select a chart. The data that makes up the chart is shown in the Examine panel. If you filter the chart by selecting data points or dragging a rectangle around data points, only the selected data is shown in the Examine panel.
• Select a table, or select cells within the table. A visualization based on the selected data in the table is shown in the Examine panel. You can also change the visualization type, or select the icon to apply operations such as sorting and ranking (for example, show top 5 or bottom 5 values).

Enable (Synchronize Visualization Automatically) to update the chart as you select cells (you can disable this option by selecting the icon again).

If the Synchronize Visualization Automatically option is disabled, select (Synchronize Visualization) to update the chart manually.

If you want to save charts and tables from the Examine panel, first copy them to story pages.
