Working with Portfolio View Histograms

Histograms provide bars to help you compare data. Three similar types of histograms are available: basic, side-by-side, and stacked.

Example: Todd wants to analyze original budget values for each responsible manager (OBS) in the organization. He also wants to compare this data to another portfolio showing original budget for each risk level. He navigates to the Portfolio Analysis page and customizes the portfolio views, filters, scenarios, and histogram chart options shown below. He sets Responsible Manager to appear on the X-axis and Original Budget on the Y-axis. When the chart appears, each bar represents a responsible manager (OBS) element; the size of the bar represents the Original Budget. He configures a second histogram to display Risk Level on the X-axis and Original Budget on the Y-axis.

Side-by-Side Histogram: The Group By field is added. In this example, Actual Labor Cost is tracked along the Y-axis for each Division/Office grouped by low, medium, and high Risk Level along the X-axis.

Stacked Histogram: The Stack By field is added instead of the Group By field. In this example, remaining labor costs expressed in units of time (hours) are graphed for each phase. The data is stacked by location.
