10 Useful Ways to Visualize Data [With Examples]

Received the following note from the folks at Sisense, the maker of the software that powers Tessitura Analytics.  

"What’s the best way to visualize your data so that it is easy to extract insights?

Well, there's no single answer since it depends on if you want to compare values or analyze a trend. 

Sisense took our most popular and useful data visualizations and created a guide:

You'll learn which visualizations work best for different types of data in order to make it easier to extract insights.

Best regards,

The content from this November 2017 blog post looks interesting and useful.

I'm appreciative of what we can do with Tessitura Analytics.  However, for RAMP folks and maybe others, some of the things discussed here may not be possible for us.  For example:

  • #9 Bubble Chart
  • #10 Treemap
  • #11 Polar Chart
  • #12 Mapping
  • #13 Funnel Chart

don't seem to appear in the list of charts we can use.

can you talk at all about when and how we might be able to get some of these additional chart types or others.  I really do like a box plot or violin chart some times when trying to clarify the distribution of numbers.
