Summary of settings

• Mapping of x attribute: City
• Mapping of y attribute: Profit
• Common attributes → Split mapped to Desk dimension
• Specific attributes → Columns → Column Type is set to Stacked

Step-by-step instruction

2. Select Columns

3. If there are multiple cubes connected to your application, you must select the cube you want for the chart.

4. To map x attribute, select the groups you would like to see on the horizontal axis, in this case the dimension City.

5. To map the y attribute, select the value (measure) corresponding to the vertical axis, in this case Profit.

6. Set Split to allocate columns to members of another dimension. In the example, Profit in each City broken down by Desk. First, click Options in the Legend area of the chart:

   

   In the Options popup, find the Split attribute and map it to the desired dimension, Desk.

   

   Now each City shows up as a group of Desks columns.
