How do I create a PI Radar Chart?

This article will explain how to use Pentana Risk Browser Charts to plot PI data on a Radar chart. Our example will look at comparing a PIs value against their target and benchmark values.  

We’ll begin by creating a PI trend chart. For a more expansive guide on creating trend charts please see our Trend Charts guide.  

We’ll select ‘BV10’ as our PI, and include monthly value data from 2007/08.

For more information on how to add additional series, see the 'Adding a Target' section of the 'PI Trend Chart' guide.

Now that the additional series have been created, we can now change our chart to a Radar type. Click on the ‘Appearance’ header and select ‘Enable Radial X-Axis’ 

Our Chart has now been turned into a Radar chart:
