# Pyramid Charts

Use a pyramid chart to visually highlight relative sizes of stacked dimension values.

## Create a Pyramid Chart

A pyramid chart is a good choice for presenting related measures for one particular dimension, such as number of accounts and account values in a particular category.

For example, you're interested in looking at the overall value and number of accounts in countries where your company does business. A bar chart can show that data in order, but it's not necessarily a compelling or easy-to-read visualization. Changing it to a pyramid chart improves both overall appearance and readability.

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 **Pyramid** chart type.
2. In the Left Axis field, add the measure to include on the left side of the pyramid. For example, select **Count of Rows**.
3. In the Right Axis field, add the second measure. For example, select **Sum of Amount**.
4. In the Bars field, add a dimension to analyze the measures by, like Billing Country.
5. To sort the results by a measure, select the down arrow next to the measure and select the sort order.

    For example, specify whether to show measure axes and titles.
