How to Create Several Column Charts Using Small Multiples

This article describes how to create several column charts using small multiples (panel charts), starting with an existing table like this:

We will end up with several small column charts like this:

Requirements

A table with at least two columns and at least one row.

Method - via the visualization menu

From the toolbar, select Visualization > Bar > Small Multiples Column.
Click on the page to place the visualization.
Under Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Output in 'Pages' select the table that you want to base the chart on. Alternatively, in Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Variables in 'Data', select that data that you would like to be in the rows.
OPTIONAL: If using Variables in 'Data' in Step 3, select the secondary variable to use as your cluster in Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Groups.
OPTIONAL: Under Chart > APPEARANCE change the value in Number of rows of panels to 1 (this will ensure the three charts end up next to each other. Setting this to 2 or higher would show the charts one above the other).
OPTIONAL: Under Chart make additional adjustments to change the appearance of the visualization.
Click Calculate and/or ensure that Automatic is checked.

Method 2 - using an existing table

Select the table.
From the object inspector, go to Visualization > Bar > Small Multiples Column.
OPTIONAL: Under Chart > APPEARANCE change the value in Number of rows of panels to 1 (this will ensure the three charts end up next to each other. Setting this to 2 or higher would show the charts one above the other).
OPTIONAL: Under Chart make additional adjustments to change the appearance of the visualization.
Click Calculate and/or ensure that Automatic is checked.

Note

Important information about editing captions:

Visualization caption edits may not be retained when a visualization with a nested table is switched back to table. Normally, this only occurs when you double-click the caption and edit the text directly. As a workaround, we recommend using Properties > CAPTION > Edit caption to edit your captions.
