Bar Chart

A bar chart represents data with rectangular bars. The height of each bar corresponds to a quantity of the metric data and each bar belongs to a category. The categories come from the grouping you specify and each bar represents a single category.

Line Chart

A line chart plots your metrics by connecting the data points with lines. Each data point represents a value of the metric at a specific time period. Line charts help you visualize and understand how metrics change over time.

Table

The table view shows the metrics data in a tabular format, similar to a spreadsheet.

Export Chart Data

You can export the raw data of your billing report metrics chart in JSON format by selecting Export Chart. The export adheres to any filters and settings that you have applied to your chart. Therefore, make sure you’ve applied the changes you require before exporting.
