About our multi-variable charts

The multi-variable chart allows users to select multiple columns for the x-axis. Each x-axis variable is divided into segments representing different data elements within that column. In the example below, drug tests are compiled on the x-axis while the stacks represent test results (resistant, susceptible, not determined, etc.)

Enjoy a panel-specific legend for ease of interpretation of the different bar stacks as well as a panel-specific dropdown to drill down in specific columns of data!

Example of a multi-variable chart in Microreact

Creating your multi-variable chart

Step 1: Select which columns from your metadata should be shown as bars in the x-axis of your chart.

This chart type allows users to make comparisons across multiple columns consisting of similar data elements. For example:

  • Presence or absence of a certain mutation across multiple gene columns

  • Standard scores across multiple student columns

  • Weather patterns across multiple geographic columns

Step 2: Select which data elements appear in each bar stack. Choose between showing all data elements present in each column, exclude blank values or choose from a list of data elements you want to appear in your chart.

  • Option 1 (All values): Absent, Present, Detected with low coverage, Not tested, null

  • Option 2 (All values except blanks): Absent, Present, Detected with low coverage, Not tested

  • Option 3 (Custom values): Absent, Present
