Choose the Right Data Visualization for Numbers

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.

Year Over Year calculation using Pivot Table

Instead of creating a formula outside of the pivot table, you can do this inside the pivot table. Start from the image with column D empty. Drag Revenue a second time to the Values area. Look in the Columns section of the Pivot Table Fields panel. You will see a tile called Values that appears below Date. Drag that tile so it is below the Date field. Your pivot table should look like this: Double-click the Sum of Revenue2 heading in D4 to display the Value Field Settings dialog. Click on the tab for Show Values As. Change the drop-down menu to % Difference From. Change the Base Field to Date. Change the Base Item to (Previous Item). Type a better name than Sum of Revenue2 - perhaps % Change. Click OK. You will have a mostly blank column D (because the pivot table can't calculate a percentage change for the first year. Right-click the D and choose Hide.
