Only numbers - Showing Numbers in visuals
Sometimes, just showing the data as text is the most effective
way of conveying information.
Single value chart
When you just have one number, it’s best to just report
it as-is. Plotting a single value graphically (such as with a
bar or point) usually isn’t meaningful if there aren’t other
values to compare it to.
Single value with indicator
An indicator compares the single value to a second
number. This is often to compare a metric’s value between
the current period and the previous period.
Bullet chart
Chart type comparing a single value to another number,
often a benchmark rather than another data point. The
single value is shown with a bar’s length, while comparison
points are shown as shaded regions or a perpendicular line.
Table
Compares data points (rows) across multiple different
attributes (columns). Usually sorted by an important or
prominent attribute to improve utility.
