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
will appeal to the audience for the visualization.
Procedure
-
Select the visualization that you want to work with.
-
Click the Change visualization icon
in the
toolbar.
- Click the visualization type that you want to use.
Take a look at 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.
-
If you select a visualization type that requires different fields to be used, add a column to
each empty field that has an asterisk (*) in it.
