To make a radar chart like this:
Requirements
You need a table or crosstab with a minimum of three rows (the spokes on the chart) and one column (the series).
Method 1 - via the visualization menu
- Go to Visualization > Radar > Radar.
- Click on the page to place the visualization.
- In the object inspector under Data > Data Source > Data select the table you want to visualize. Alternatively, you can select a variable in Data > Data Source > Variables for the spokes and another variable in Groups for the series.
- OPTIONAL: If Variables in 'Data' is used, tick Convert to percentages/proportions under Data Manipulation.
- OPTIONAL: Under Data > Column Manipulations and Row Manipulations, enter a number for Number of columns from left/right to show or Number of rows from top/bottom to show to take only a portion of the table's results.
- OPTIONAL: Under Chart make further adjustments to change the visualization's appearance.
Method 2 - using an existing table
- Select the table.
- From the object inspector, go to Visualization > Radar > Radar.
- OPTIONAL: Under Data > Column Manipulations and Row Manipulations, enter a number for Number of columns from left/right to show or Number of rows from top/bottom to show to take only a portion of the table's results.
- OPTIONAL: Under Chart make further adjustments to change the visualization's appearance.
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.
