About MultiTab Charts

MultiTab charts show data for two dimensions, unlike standard charts that show data for one dimension only.

The first dimension is a numeric value that is then divided into colored parts based on a second dimension, called a category.

For example, the following graph is a standard bar chart showing the number of COPD hospital visits by admission type.

Standard column chart.

Placing the pointer on a bar shows that the emergency department saw 5,156 COPD visits.

Compare that to the following MultiTab bar chart showing the number of COPD hospital visits by admission type and a Facility category.

Multitab column chart.

Each column in the standard chart now appears as a group of five columns (The column for Sanctuary Op is empty). The data is broken down by Facility. Placing the pointer on a group of category bars shows the number of emergency department COPD visits for each hospital. When you add the number of Emergency visits for all facilities, the total is 5,156.
