Hi everyone! 👋

A recurring question since the migration: in the old experience, some of you could split/ventilate a chart's values by a secondary field (e.g., a bar chart broken down by category). Here's where that stands in the new experience.

📊 Today
This kind of multi-dimension breakdown isn't available as a point-and-click option in the current chart tools.

🔧 What you can do now

  • If the breakdown is a fixed, known need, you can build a dedicated Custom View or a Studio chart pre-configured with that grouping so end users see it directly.
  • For fully dynamic exploration, this is a case where a Code Editor page (custom ods-chart-query setup) gives you the most flexibility today.

If it's important for your use case, tell us more in the comments (which dataset, which fields you'd want to compare) so we can factor it into future explorer/chart work.
