Working with bar charts and histograms
You can choose to copy the information in a bar chart or histogram as a picture or as text to the clipboard. You can also manage the view of your bar chart or histogram, and drill down into the results of a histogram.
Several selection and copy options are available on the Bar Charts page of
the Bar Charts and Histograms pane and in the Histograms window:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Select All | Selects all bars in the bar chart or histogram and all the cells in a heat matrix. |
| Clear Selection | Clears any bars or cells that are selected in the bar chart, histogram, or heat matrix. |
| Clear All Filtering | Clears any filters and reveals any chart items that were hidden. |
| Copy as Picture | Exports the bar chart or histogram and heat matrix (if one is displayed) as a picture to the clipboard. You can paste this picture into another application, for example Microsoft Word. |
| Copy as Text | Saves all the data in a bar chart, histogram, or heat matrix as text to the clipboard. You can paste this text into another application, for example Microsoft Word. |
| Drill Down | Drills down further into the results. This option is only available for histograms that have filters that are based on ranges such as label value or date and time. The range of values must be large enough to drill down into more detail. |
You can copy the chart items that are selected as a result of one or more filters into a new chart by using the Copy to New Chart options on the Analyze tab of the Analyst's Notebook ribbon. Other options are available on the Analyze tab to list the selected chart items or their data records.
