Limits
An arc chart consists of Source/Dimension, Target/Dimension, and Connection Value/Measure.

Source/Dimension and Target/Dimension are determined by the data’s source dimension. Select only one dimension, such as region or product type.

The Limit Value/Measure is determined by a single data measure, such as Total Sales by Region.

In the Source/Dimension column, select data by double-clicking or dragging.
