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.

Use an absolute reference ($B$2:$B11), instead of a relative reference (B2:B11)so the referenced range will stay the same when you copy the formula down to the cells below order : (optional) This argument tells Excel whether to rank the list in ascending or descending o...
