With just a few clicks, you can switch between formats to find the best way to represent your data.


Seamless Map Integration
Charts in Cadence aren’t standalone visuals, they’re fully integrated with your spatial analysis.
- Add charts directly to your map for side-by-side exploration
- Include charts in slide panels to show them in published stories and slideshows
- Enable cross-filtering to interactively link charts and maps
Charts can be embedded into Cadence’s storytelling tools, helping you present insights in a structured, engaging way. Whether you’re building a slideshow or publishing a data story, charts provide the visual backbone for clear communication.
Flexible Data Sources
Cadence gives you complete control over the data behind your charts:
- Use datasets from the built-in data catalogue
- Upload and visualise your own data
You can also define the geographic scope of your analysis by using:
- Your project’s default bounds
- Custom boundaries tailored to your needs
This flexibility ensures your charts always reflect the context that matters most

Powerful Filtering and Aggregation
Refine your analysis with advanced filtering and aggregation options:
- Apply geospatial or attribute-based filters (including thresholds like “over 100”)
- Aggregate data across different geographies (e.g. LSOA to Local Authority District)
- Choose aggregation methods such as Total, Average (mean), Count, or Maximum
These tools allow you to move effortlessly between granular and high-level insights.
Customise for Clarity
Cadence makes it simple to tailor charts to your audience:
- Sort values ascending, descending, or alphabetically (A–Z)
- Apply your project’s default colour schemes
- Align visuals with your organisation’s branding
The result is a consistent, professional look across all outputs.
