- To facilitate understanding and decision-making through visual representation of data
Types of Visualizations
- Quantitative:
- Line charts (trends over time)
- Bar charts (comparisons)
- Scatter plots (relationships)
- Qualitative:
- Heat maps (correlations)
- Tree maps (hierarchical data)
- Word clouds (text data)
Best Practices
- Keep it simple and clear:
- Avoid 3D charts and complex graphics
- Use colors and labels judiciously
- Choose the right chart:
- Select the chart type that best suits the data and message
- Consider the audience and purpose of the report
- Label and annotate:
- Clearly label axes, titles, and legends
- Add annotations to highlight key insights or trends
