Matrix chart is a type of tabular visualization that contains aggregated values instead of simple tabular data with duplicate records.
It summarizes a large amount of data on multiple dimensions arranged in rows and columns. Various aggregates can be shown on the intersection of each row and column. This helps you create a cross tabular report, that draws attention to key values.

In this example, a Matrix chart is created to analyze assignees and types of issues assigned to them in Jira.

To create a Matrix chart:

  • Select the ‘Assignee’, ‘Type’ and ‘Status’ columns while holding the Ctrl key and right-click > Select View> Change> Matrix.

Data Configuration

  • Click on the mceclip5.png icon for data configuration options.

Row

You can specify the column whose unique values will be shown in the rows.

To change the column:

  1. Click on the mceclip6.png icon to remove the existing column.
  2. From the Data Panel, drag the desired column and drop it onto the Visualizations Panel’s “Row” section.

Values

You can add multiple columns (non-summarized and summarized) to this section.

Add a Column (Non-Summarized)

Matrix chart shows only the unique values of the non-summarized columns. E.g. If the ‘Status’ ’ column is added, then all unique values will be shown on the Matrix chart. It helps you explore data in a more detailed manner. 

  1. Drag the desired column from the Data Panel and drop it onto Visualizations Panel’s  “Values” section.
  2. Click on the mceclip7.png icon and select the ‘Don’t summarize’ option from the drop-down.  
Note.pngNote: You can add only one non-summarized column. 

Add a Column (Summarized)

You will see the aggregated values in the Matrix for the added column(s).

  1. Drag the desired column from the Data Panel and drop it onto Visualizations Panel’s  “Values” section.
  2. Click on the mceclip8.png icon and select the aggregate function to summarize the data of this column. 
  • Aggregate functions for textual data: Count, Unique Count
  • Aggregate functions for numerical data: Count, Unique Count, Sum, Min, Max, Avg 
Note.pngNote: You can add a maximum of 6 columns to a Matrix chart.

Reorder Columns

  • Select the column and drag it to the desired position and drop it. 

Edit Column Name

  • To change the column name in any of the above sections, click on the column name or the  mceclip9.png  icon and type in the new column name.

Remove Column

  • Click on the mceclip10.png icon to remove a column from the Matrix chart.
