Limit Results to Show

The Limit Results to Show setting is used to limit the number of results to show on a chart.  In the example below, we are creating a pie chart to represent Users by Location.  This setting will allow you to display all or a specific number of Locations on the chart.

From the Chart Library tab, you can create charts and limit results to show.  To create:
