Enabling a Continuous Axis on Dimensions

You can customize your visuals according to their data type. To look at trends and the rate of change, use a continuous axis on numerical dimension, which shows data at equal intervals. Compare visuals that use a continues dimensional axis to results with a categorical axis, which only plots dataset values.

Availability Notes:

To use regular intervals, navigate to the Axes menu, and select the Make Dimension Axis Continuous option.

Continuous axis on a dimension

The image on the left shows a categorical X axis where each label represents a value in the dataset, from 50 to 160. The image on the right shows a continuous X axis where labels are auto-generated, in equal intervals starting from 0 to 160. Notice how enabling this feature gives a clearer visual representation of where the calorie levels fall within a range of values.
