Data Visualization
Visual representation of data that's designed for:
- easy data comparisons
- to reveal trends and changes over time
- to discover correlation between different variables in the data
- to discover patterns in the data
Good data visualization allows you to better understand the drivers behind the data and to make predictions based on that understanding. Common Data Visualizations include Timeline Chart, Category Chart, XY Chart, and Geographical Chart.
