Bubble charts
The bubble chart is a variation of the scatter chart, and its data points appear as bubbles. Your search must have at least one attribute and two measures to generate a bubble chart.
The bubble chart displays three to five dimensions or measures of data. In addition to the traditional X and Y axis, the size of the bubble represents a measurement. Bubble charts can show two more attributes, when you slice and/or slice by color.

This chart type lets you slice and slice with color. You can also slice scatter charts.

. We also used store region
to slice by color.
If you hover over a data point, you can see what store type and store region it represents. Here, we have a large
store in the west
region:
