A grid graph is a popular infographic that is often used to visually represent percentages. Studies have shown that combining relevant images with numerical text improves readability and increases what the audience remembers after 3 days by 650 percent!<\/p>\n

Business Analyst Web does not have a grid graph chart type, so we need a creative way to produce one. The answer is to use a table and take advantage of conditional image styling rules to turn each cell (row) in the table into the appropriate visualization. Because we are dealing with a maximum of 100%, we can use 10 rows, and slice the ranges in groups of 10 (0-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc). We then configure image rules on a row by row basis to display different images based on the unit value of the attribute (0, 1, 2, 3… 10, 11, 12, 13… 20, 21, 22, 23… etc).<\/p>\n

In this way, we have 11 rules per row, configured for 10 rows stacked on top of each other.<\/p>\n

The following workflow provides a step-by-step guide to creating a grid graph chart.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create the Grid Graph Table<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using a blank canvas layout, add a new floating panel, then select the table option to add a blank table comprising 10 rows by 1 column.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":291562,"id":291562,"title":"Add a 10x1 Table","filename":"1Table.png","filesize":21809,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/mapping\/how-to-build-a-grid-graph-in-business-analyst-web-in-7-easy-steps\/1table","alt":"Add a 10x1 Table","author":"7181","description":"","caption":"Add a 10x1 Table","name":"1table","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":291472,"date":"2018-07-31 00:21:10","modified":"2018-07-31 00:21:47","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1012,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":112,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":245,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":405,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","large-width":1920,"large-height":1012,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":810,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1012,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":435,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1Table.png","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1012}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Step 6: Modify Each Range of Values Within The 10 Rows<\/strong><\/p>\n

Repeat the process for each row using the copy and paste option in “Modify Table” shortcut to add new conditional image styles to each blank row.<\/p>\n

One very valuable trick is to save your conditional styles to a \u201cSaved List\u201d, which is a rule base that can be reused again and again. This means you can quickly apply styles without the need to recreate the interval rules and symbology logic again. In the example below, I have created a saved list for each one of interval group (10, 20, 30, etc).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":291652,"id":291652,"title":"Saved Lists","filename":"9SavedLists.png","filesize":38076,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/mapping\/how-to-build-a-grid-graph-in-business-analyst-web-in-7-easy-steps\/9savedlists","alt":"","author":"7181","description":"","caption":"","name":"9savedlists","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":291472,"date":"2018-07-31 00:39:06","modified":"2018-07-31 00:39:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1012,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":112,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":245,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":405,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","large-width":1920,"large-height":1012,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":810,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1012,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":435,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/9SavedLists.png","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1012}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
