Making Visualizations

Create (via the Superset SQL Lab) or select a data set and select a chart type to visualize that data set.

Building a Data Set via a Query

Select a chart type

Select dimensions to group data by and metrics to visualize for those groupings.

Metrics can be basic aggregations like MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNT_DISTINCT, AVG, or SUM, or you can define custom aggregations from one or more column.

Setting the metric to visualize

Filter data to a meaningful subset.

Filter values in viz

Format titles, labels, tooltips, timespan slicing, etc.

Annotate axes and name the table

And when the chart is finished, save the visualization (via the save button in the upper right corner). Now the chart is ready to to add to a dashboard.
