# Matrix Charts

Use matrix charts to create a table that represents measures visually, allowing you to quickly spot extreme values.

For example, you can show which product families are generating the most opportunities.

## Create a Matrix Chart

Use a matrix chart to compare one or two measures across two dimensions.

For example, use a matrix chart to compare the number of opportunities by sales rep and pipeline stage.

1. In the lens, click ![Chart Mode button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_chart_mode_button.png) and then select the **Matrix** chart type.
2. In the X-Axis field, add a dimension to analyze the measure by. For example, select **Stage**.
3. In the Y-Axis field, add another dimension. For example, select **Opportunity Owner**.
4. In the Bubble Size field, add the measure that you want to analyze across both dimensions. For example, select average opportunity amount.
5. In the Bubble Color field, add another measure that you want to analyze across both dimensions. For example, select **Count of Rows** to look at the number of opportunities.
    
    By default, the matrix shows a color gradient based on two colors.
