These examples are using a user uploaded layer that contains the count of nonprofits by Pennsylvania House District.

In this layer:

  • In the Variables section, the Label column includes two variables: Geography and Number of Nonprofits.

  • The Number of Nonprofits variable has been given the unit nonprofits.

  • In the Geographies section, the variable selected to be used as the label on a visualization is Geography.

Here's how these present in different visualization types.

Callouts

Tables

Bar charts

The next example is using a user uploaded layer that contains asthma rates.

In this layer:

  • The shown variable has been given the unit Rate per 100,000 people.

  • In the Geographies section, the variable selected to be used as the label on a visualization is Geography.

Time series

Note: Labels, units, numeric formats, and decimals can be changed when creating the visualization itself, but the goal here is to show how the defaults are used.
