Once you have chosen rows and columns and selected the type of chart you want, you can further explore your data using interactive features such as brushing an area of the chart to zoom in or clicking on a legend to hide the members of a group.
Zooming
Zooming lets you view a smaller area of a chart more closely. Zooming can also be helpful when the labels at the bottom of a chart are difficult to read, because only the labels corresponding to the selected area are displayed.

Zoom cannot be saved as part of an Ad Hoc view or a report. When you save an Ad Hoc view, or create a report from an Ad Hoc view, the zoom is automatically reset to show the whole chart. |
To zoom in on an area of a chart:
| • | Click and drag or brush the area you want to zoom in on. As you are dragging or brushing a pale blue area indicates the selected area. The view zooms to the area you selected. |
To view the whole chart after you have zoomed:
| • | Click Reset zoom at the upper right of the canvas. |
The following images show a bar chart before and after zooming:

Hiding Group Members
Use the legends below the chart to hide or show group members.
| 1. | To hide a group member, click on the member name in the legend below the chart. The member is removed from the chart and the legend is grayed out. |
| 2. | To unhide a group member that has been hidden, click on the grayed-out legend for the member. |

Hidden members cannot be saved as part of an Ad Hoc view. When you save an Ad Hoc view, or create a report from an Ad Hoc view, the chart is automatically reset to show all members. |
