Overview

A Financial Chart is a composite chart with two visual zones — a Main Panel (the primary view) and a Navigator (a secondary chart strip used to navigate a time range within the Main Panel). The Financial Chart is the standard visualization in Lens for time-series financial data where viewers need to explore long ranges interactively, with the Navigator providing a compact overview and a movable selection that drives what the Main Panel shows.

Financial Charts are authored from Lens → Design → Chart Designer → Visualization → Financial Chart. The Main Panel and Navigator are configured independently — each carries its own Panel Type, and the Navigator additionally carries a Chart Type, Measure selector, and Panel Window Size. Other Properties and Columns inherit from the Bar Chart.

When to use it

  • Time-series financial data on Dashboards — price, volume, returns, performance over time.
  • Long-range data where viewers need to zoom into specific periods (the Navigator provides the overview and selection).
  • Side-by-side display of two complementary signals — e.g., price as a Line in the Main Panel and volume as a Bar in the Navigator.
  • Interactive exploration on Dashboards where the chart’s display range should adjust to the viewer’s selection.

Key behaviors

Two visual zones, configured independently. The Main Panel and Navigator are configured as separate property groups, with the Navigator exposing more configuration (Measure, Chart Type, Panel Type, Panel Window Size) than the Main Panel (Panel Type only, per source content). This implies the Navigator is the more flexible zone — viewers see the Main Panel as the primary content, and the Navigator carries the overview-and-selection role.

Time-series Dimension assumed. Financial Charts are designed for time-series data — the Navigator’s range-selection mechanism implies an ordered Dimension along which a window of values can be picked.

Navigator drives Main Panel range. The Navigator’s selection window controls what slice of the dataset the Main Panel shows. As the viewer drags or resizes the selection on the Navigator, the Main Panel updates accordingly.
