Detailed Information About Statistics in Charts

What the Statistics display:

Statistics add valuable insights to the charts, enabling users to analyze the data being displayed. Key metrics include:

1. Basic Statistics for Displayed Data Series:
   • Minimum: The lowest value within the displayed time period.
   • Maximum: The highest value within the displayed time period.
   • Average: The average value of the data series for the entire period.
   • Delta (Min-Max Delta): The difference between the highest and lowest values.
2. Additional Statistics Based on the Type of Time Axis:
   • Hourly Statistics:
     • Night Avg: The average value during night hours (from 20:00 to 6:00).
     • Day Hour Avg: The average value for individual daytime hours.
   • Daily Statistics:
     • Work Day Avg: The average value for workdays, excluding holidays.
     • Day Off Avg: The average value for non-working days.
   • Monthly and Annual Statistics:
     • Total: The total sum for the selected period (month or year).

How it works:

1. Displaying Statistics in Charts:
   • Statistics are displayed in the right-hand panel next to the chart.
   • Each data series has its own set of statistics (e.g., consumption, costs, CO₂ emissions).
   • If more than three data series are present in the chart, detailed statistics are shown in a dialog box upon clicking a button.
2. Interactive Features:
   • Hover and Click: When hovering the mouse over a specific data point (e.g., minimum, maximum), the corresponding value is highlighted in the chart.
   • Toggles: Users can toggle between different metrics, such as displaying a specific meter or data series.
3. Support for Various Chart Types:
   • Statistics are available only for periodic charts with a time axis (e.g., monthly or daily consumption).
   • Statistics are not available for comparison charts or overview charts on the dashboard.
4. Specifics for cDS and dDS:
   • Statistics include cDS (calculated data series) and dDS (direct data series).
   • For cDS, only average values are displayed (minimum and maximum values are excluded in advanced statistics).

User experience:

• Colors and Clarity: Each metric (minimum, average, maximum) is color-coded for easy identification.
• Tooltips: Provide explanations and detailed descriptions of the displayed values.

Notes and limitations:

• Statistics are calculated only based on the available data for the displayed period. If data is unavailable (e.g., for a specific month), the charts will reflect this.
• Charts update dynamically based on the selection of metrics or data series, allowing users to obtain more precise analyses.
