3D charts are graphical representations of data that use three-dimensional space to display information. Unlike 2D charts, which plot data points on a flat plane, 3D charts add depth, allowing for a more immersive and detailed visualization. This added dimension can help reveal patterns and relationships that might not be as apparent in 2D representations.

NOTE
To understand the Advanced Settings, Report Mapping, and other functionalities, it is recommended that you first read the Chart Reports parent article. To maintain the continuity of this feature, a few references from the parent article will be used in this article.
Advantages of 3D Charts
Enhanced Visualization: The third dimension provides a more comprehensive view of data, making it easier to identify trends, outliers, and correlations.
Improved Insight: With the added depth, 3D charts can uncover hidden insights that are not immediately visible in 2D charts.
Engagement: 3D charts are visually appealing and can capture the audience's attention more effectively, making presentations and reports more engaging.
