# Multiple Charts Layout

The multiple chart layout is a chart type that allows you to combine multiple different charts created based on a specific dataset and have these charts consolidated and show on a single chart.

Unlike other chart types, the multiple chart layout chart type does not provide you a UI to start creating charts instead it will provide you an option to select how many charts you would like to show. You would then select any of the charts that is already created based on the selected dataset. Here is an example of how it would look like: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4749ddf8-aa05-4f3f-80e1-07a5d2d0f137/Images/Documentation/image(476).png)

## Reference Content

If you're new to visualizing data in Preset, we recommend the following reference articles:

- [Creating a Chart](https://portal.document360.io/v1/docs/creating-a-chart): A walkthrough of the overall process of chart selection and creation.
- [Using Preset Chart Builder](https://portal.document360.io/v1/docs/using-preset-explore): How to work with the Chart Builder page, the primary interface used when creating a chart.

## Creating a Multiple Chart Layout

To create a multiple chart layout, you need to define the following:

- the **dataset** to be used. This will define all the charts that is available to be selected.
- how many charts you would like to be shown. There is currently a cap of only 4 charts that can be selected and combined into 1 view.
- whether you would like to display the legend list for each of the charts.

Once you have a clear idea of the above items, you can start with your Multiple Chart Layout chart type creation. All configurable fields are self explanatory.

## Using the Multiple Chart Layout on Dashboards

A multiple chart layout is added to a dashboard like any other chart. The whole grid is one element: you drag, resize, and position it as a single block.

- **Dashboard filters** apply to every cell, so all cells stay comparable.
- **Cross-filtering** works the same way as on a regular chart.
- **Download and export** include the entire grid.

## Supported Chart Types

The layout works with most chart types, including line, area, and bar charts, pie and funnel charts, box plots and histograms, Big Number and maps.

**Do note that you would need to create these charts first using the same dataset that is selected when creating the Multiple Chart Layout chart type else no charts would be shown for selection when configuring the Multiple Chart Layout chart type.**
