Step 1
Select the fields in the Data window that you want to include in the view. Hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard to select multiple fields.
Step 2
Click Show Me! on the toolbar.
Step 3
In the Show Me! dialog box, select how you want to visualize the data. A default type is automatically selected based on the fields you selected.
Step 4
View the result.
The view below shows the total sales vs. discount by region and product category using color and shape encodings. All five fields you selected are used in the view. You can see that discounts on Office Supplies are low in the South, but so are sales.
If the result is not exactly the view you were thinking of, click Show Me! again to select a different style.
Hint: If you don't know which one to select, roll over each option with your mouse to learn more about it. Try them all and see what you can find in your data.
Step 5
Click OK to transform your data into a completely different view. The view below uses the same fields as above except this time we see stacked bars instead of a scatter plot.
