StepDescription
Create a new page 
Add a chart macro
  • Set the chart type, this example uses a pie chart
  • Edit other parameters as needed
  • For this example
    • Set Content orientation to vertical - this is required because we want to use table rows for the values
    • Optional: Set Pie section label to %0% (%2%)
Create a small example table in the chart macro body
  • This is just a quick way to get the chart defined and working
  • Use insert table with a few rows and columns (see example below)
  • The test data needs to match the requirements of the chart type you have selected!
Verify the chart display correctly 
Add a sql-query macro outside the chart macro body
  • We are going to test to ensure that the sql-query macro is going to produce the correct format of table
Add you query to the sql-query macro body 
  • Example SQL
Code Block
sql
sql
select product as "Product", revenue as "Revenue" from revenue
Verify it produces the same table structure as the test table
  • Now you should have both macros configured correctly
Combine the macros - this is the critical step!
  • Cut and paste the sql-macro into the body of the chart macro (discard or save the test data somewhere else)
