Area Chart

lowcodera Area Chart Component

Purpose

With their mountain-like appearance, Area Charts are used to represent quantitative variations.

Variations

‌There are several variations of Area charts which are supported through the configuration of data and component properties.

• Basic Area Chart

• Spline Area Chart

• Stepline Area Chart

• Area chart with Dashline

Working with Data

‌The data format for the Area chart is the same as for other bar charts. You can bind your chart component's items property to a Power Apps collection which includes either static data or dynamic data e.g. SharePoint.

Static Collection Example

In this example, a collection with static data called ColAreaChart is defined in the Power App. The items property of the bar chart component is then bound to this collection.

Table(
    {
        name: "Actual",
        data: ForAll([
            {
                label: 2001,
                value: 44
            },
            {
                label: 2002,
                value: 60
            },
            {
                label: 2003,
                value: 28
            },
            {
                label: 2004,
                value: 32
            },
            {
                label: 2005,
                value: 36
            },
            {
                label: 2006,
                value: 43
            },
            {
                label: 2007,
                value: 55
            },
            {
                label: 2008,
                value: 21
            }
        ],{Value:ThisRecord})
    },
    {
        name: "Budgeted",
        data:ForAll([
            {
                label: 2001,
                value: 25
            },
            {
                label: 2002,
                value: 42
            },
            {
                label: 2003,
                value: 50
            },
            {
                label: 2004,
                value: 18
            },
            {
                label: 2005,
                value: 17
            },
            {
                label: 2006,
                value: 19
            },
            {
                label: 2007,
                value: 58
            },
            {
                label: 2008,
                value: 35
            }
        ],{Value:ThisRecord})
    }
)

The above code snippet will generate the following bar chart.

Dynamic Collection Example

The below example represents, Dataverse table's data in a dynamic manner. The dataverse table structure looks like below:

The below code snippet will generate dynamic collection to be consumed by component.

ClearCollect(
    ColAreaChart,
    {
        name: "Actual",
        data: ForAll(
            Finances,
            {
                Value: {
                    label: ThisRecord.Year,
                    value: ThisRecord.Actual
                }
            }
        )
    },
    {
        name: "Budgeted",
        data: ForAll(
            Finances,
            {
                Value: {
                    label: ThisRecord.Year,
                    value: ThisRecord.Budget
                }
            }
        )
    }
)
