Bubble chart widget

A bubble chart shows two or three metrics for each value of a dimension on a single chart. Two metrics form the axes of the chart, and an optional third metric sets the size of the bubble. Each value of the chosen dimension gets one bubble.

A bubble chart needs exactly one dimension and two or three metrics.

Here's an example of a bubble chart of campaigns:

Bubble chart of campaigns with CTR on the x-axis, blended CPA on the y-axis and spend as the bubble size

The dimension is Campaign, and the three metrics are:

  1. CTR: the x-axis

  2. Blended CPA: the y-axis

  3. Spend: the size of the bubble

When to use a bubble chart

Use a bubble chart to show two or three metrics for a dimension. Bubble charts are great at showing relationships within your data and at representing a large amount of data.

They are also good at finding outliers. In the chart above, the two campaigns on the right have a much higher CTR and a much lower CPA than the rest. Hover over a bubble to see its values.
