Chart Separation

Separate by Factor

SeparateByFactor() will separate the chart into a grid of subcharts based on the bar groups. It takes in an integer as the number of columns in the grid. If empty, it results in a single-column grid.

Unfortunately, there are some limitations to the usage of this function. The Separate by Factor function can be used with a certain amount of columns and/or factors. And that number is unique to each chart. The following chart displays some of the possible combinations of factors and/or columns. It has the column input with numerical and nonnumerical data and the factor input columns.

Can you use SeparateByFactor with these inputs?
Amount of Column Input	Amount of Factor Input	Bar Chart	Pie Chart	Histogram	Line Chart	Scatter Plot	Box Plot	Violin Plot
0	1	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
0	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (non-numerical)	0	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
1 (numerical)	0	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
1 (non-numerical)	1	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (numerical)	1	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes
1 (non-numerical)	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (numerical)	2	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes
2 (non-numerical)	0	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
2 (numerical)	0	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
2 (non-numerical)	1	No	No	No	No	Yes	No	No
2 (numerical)	1	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
2 (non-numerical)	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
2 (numerical)	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No

Separate By Series

SeparateBySeries() will separate the chart into a grid of subcharts based on the legend (series). It takes in an integer as the number of columns in the grid. If empty, it results in a single-column grid.

Unfortunately, there are some limitations to the usage of this function. The Separate by Series function can be used with a certain amount of columns and/or factors. And that number is unique to each chart. The following chart displays some of the possible combinations of factors and/or columns. It has the column input with numerical and nonnumerical data and the factor input columns.

Can you use SeparateBySeries with these inputs?
Amount of Column Input	Amount of Factor Input	Bar Chart	Pie Chart	Histogram	Line Chart	Scatter Plot	Box Plot	Violin Plot
0	1	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
0	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (non-numerical)	0	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
1 (numerical)	0	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
1 (non-numerical)	1	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (non-numerical)	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
1 (numerical)	2	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes
2 (non-numerical)	0	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
2 (numerical)	0	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No

2 (numerical)	1	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
2 (non-numerical)	2	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
