Graph page

You can also choose to view the results as graphs. Graphs can only be made from a single indicator table and only with primary values. An indicator cannot be viewed in graph format if it includes only numerical values.

You can change the indicator shown for each graph if you have included more than one indicator in the search. You cannot select the indicator if it cannot be made into a graph.

Line graph

The line graph shows changes in indicator values in relation to time. In order for a line graph to be made, the results must include more than one year and less than 30 areas.

Vertical bar graph

The vertical bar graph shows the regional values of the indicator through vertical bars. The selection button for the graph is active when the sum of the chosen search regions, years and sex is 30 at most.

Horizontal bar graph

The horizontal bar graph shows the values in order of magnitude. Only one year and one sex can be shown in the graph at a time. The selection button is active when no more than 30 regions have been selected in the search. The graph automatically displays the latest year and one sex.

You can change the sex and year that is displayed if you have included more than one sex and more than one year in your search. The selection is made in the "Show values to be displayed" drop-down menu by clicking on "Show values to be displayed".

Permanent links

You can create a permanent link to results by clicking on the "Create permalink" button provided. The created permalink replaces the button you clicked. You can copy the permalink and use it later for returning to the graph page. When you access a graph page via a permalink, the page is displayed exactly as it was at the time the permalink was created.
