Choosing a different visualization type

Visualizations communicate comparisons, relationships, and trends. They emphasize and clarify numbers. To choose a visualization type, consider what you want the visualization to illustrate and what appeals to the audience for the visualization.

1. From the Cards pane, select the card that represents the visualization you want to open.
2. Click the Choose visualization type icon in the toolbar.
3. Click the visualization type that you want to use.
   Notice how each visualization type communicates data differently. For example, use a bar, column, or line visualization to compare a set of values. Use a line or area visualization to track relationships. Use a tree map or pie visualization to see the parts of a whole.
