The default grid view of query results may look unremarkable. Use CloudBeaver's Charts feature to quickly explore patterns and trends without exporting data. You can visualize data in Bar, Line, Pie, or Area formats.

Creating Charts in the SQL Editor

To create a chart in the SQL Editor:

1. Run your query.
2. Click the Charts button () on the left toolbar in the result area.
3. Your data will appear as a chart.

Creating Charts in the Data Editor

To visualize data from Data Editor:

1. (Optional) Sort and filter your data using the filters.
2. Click the Charts button () in the Data Editor's left toolbar.
3. Your data will appear as a chart.

Note: By default, the data for Y-axis is taken from the first column of the table containing numeric values.

Creating Charts in the Grouping Panel

To create charts from grouped data:

1. Group your data in the Grouping Panel.
2. Click the Charts button ().
3. Your data will appear as a chart.

Editing chart settings

To edit your chart:

1. Click the Configure button in the bottom menu.
2. Adjust settings in the dialog box that appears.

Setting Axis X

• from the Field dropdown, select a column for the X-axis
• name the X-axis in the Axis title field
• optionally, use Breakdown by to group results by another column

Setting Axis Y

• choose a column for the Y-axis from the Field dropdown
• select an Operation to define how values are aggregated (e.g., SUM, AVG, COUNT, MIN, MAX, FIRST, LAST)
• label the Y-axis in the Axis title field
• click + Add measure to include additional measures

Using Breakdown by

The Breakdown by option lets you split the chart into multiple series based on the selected column. For example, if you choose last_name, the chart will display a separate line or area for each unique last name.

When you hover over the chart, a tooltip appears showing values for each series in that point.

Note: The Breakdown by option isn’t available for Pie charts.

Adjust visible data range

Use the slider below the chart to control which part of the data is displayed. Drag the handles on both sides to zoom in or out on a specific data range.

Tip: This is useful when working with large datasets – you can focus on a smaller section without reloading or filtering data.

Setting other options

You can also set the following chart options:

Setting	Description
Chart type	Select visualization type: Bar, Pie, Line, or Area
Field	Choose a column for the X or Y axis
Axis title	Enter a custom label for the axis
Breakdown by	Group data by an additional column (creates separate series for each value; not available for Pie charts)
Operation	Select a function for data aggregation on the Y axis
	AVG - Calculates the average of the values
	SUM - Sums up all the values
	FIRST - Displays the first value
	LAST - Shows the last value
	COUNT - Counts all the values
	MIN - Finds the minimum value
	MAX - Identifies the maximum value
Add measure	Add another Y-axis field to display multiple measures on one chart
Add stack group	Combine selected measures into a single stacked group. Each group appears as one stacked bar or area segment.
Row count	Limit the number of rows to include in the chart
Show values on chart	Display numeric values directly on the chart bars or points
