Build and format line, area, combo, pie, donut, trellis, KPI and gauge charts in Sigma, and pick the chart that fits each analysis question.
Sigma charts each suit a different question: a trend over time, two metrics compared in one view, a share of a whole, or progress toward a target. You build each type, adjust its axis labels, tooltips, colors and legend controls, and turn a single view into a grid of small multiples by trellising on one or two values.
What You Will Achieve
- Pick a line, area, pie, donut, KPI or gauge chart that matches an analytical goal
- Compare two metrics on one chart using dual y-axes or a shared axis
- Show proportions and patterns across categories with small multiples split by one or two values
- Track business performance against a target by setting gauge ranges and KPI period comparisons
Program Overview
Line, Area, and Combo Charts
Moves past basic bar charts to show trends and comparisons, with formatting controls and combo charts that place two metrics on separate axes.
- Line charts with axis labels and tooltips
- Multiple line charts for merchant trends
- Area charts and shared legend controls
- Multiple y-axes and combo charts
Pie, Donut, and Trellis Charts
Covers part-to-whole views and organized grids of small multiples that compare categories across one or two dimensions.
- Pie and donut charts with labeled legends
- Trellis rows and columns
- Trellised chart rules and trellised donut charts
KPI and Gauge Charts
Builds performance indicators with key metrics, timelines and comparisons, then gauge charts that show progress toward a goal.
- KPI elements and KPIs from table summaries
- KPI trends and period comparisons
- Gauge charts, ranges and custom formatting
- When to use a KPI or a gauge chart
Certificate Awarded (Paid)
Job Outlook
Building and formatting charts in Sigma supports business intelligence work, where teams track performance indicators, compare metrics over time and show how categories break down.
Good for: Analysts working in Sigma who want to move past bar charts and present trends, proportions and performance targets with the chart that fits each one.
Keep in mind: The lessons center on chart types and their formatting settings, one chapter each for trends, part-to-whole views and performance charts, all built in Sigma’s no-code interface.
Bottom line: A Sigma chart course that pairs each chart type with the question it answers, including trellised small multiples and KPI period comparisons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What software runs the hands-on exercises?
Nothing has to be installed. The exercises run in the browser on an interactive virtual machine that already runs Sigma, so all the chart building happens inside the course.
Is any code written in the lessons?
No. Charts are built and formatted through Sigma's no-code interface, using its settings for axes, labels, tooltips, colors, legends, trellising and KPI comparisons.
What is trellising in Sigma?
Trellising splits one chart into a grid of small multiples, faceted on one or two values such as team, merchant or year, so proportions and patterns can be compared across categories side by side.
What kind of data do the exercises chart?
The exercises use business examples such as merchant trends, customer join years and growth rates, escalation rates by team and merchant, and call durations tracked against a goal.
