What is ‘Data Visualization’ ?
Science or art to present data in a visual way in order to make the information more readable and understandable.
- 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.
- “A picture is worth a thousand words”
What you need to define
- Input: data
- Tools / apps: Qlik sense, Power BI
- Output: dashboard (factors / KPIs, charts)
Purpose first
A visualization is useless if it doesn’t have a clear purpose :
- Who is my audience ? Who read my report ?
- Which problem / question am I trying to answer with my visualization ?
- What new questions my visualization can reveal ?
- Is my visualization covers all the questions ?
- Which information does the reader should retrieve from my visualization ?
- Does it help to take a decision ?
then think of the source of data
Once you got the purpose, it’s easier to look at the data you need :
- Which dimensions do I need ?
- Which metrics do I need ?
- Where can I find these information ? What is the data source ?
- Who is behind these data sources ?
- What type of data source is it ?
- How often the data is produced ?
- Data model ?
finally the type of chart
You should choose the right type of chart to convey your message
- Bar chart ? Good for evolution and comparison
- Line / Area charts ? Good for trends
- Stacked charts ? Good for distribution
- Pie charts ? Good for part-to-whole and distribution
- Maps ? Only for geographical data
What is Qliksense ?
- Data discovery and visualization tool
- Self-service BI application
- Intuitive solution
Qliksense Desktop, Server or Cloud ?
| Qlik Sense Desktop |
|
| Qlik Sense Server |
|
| Qlik Sense Cloud |
|
Wrap-up : what can we do with Qliksense ?
- Import data from different sources (Excel, Access, Databases, etc.)
- Create charts, tables and other kind of visualizations
- Aggregate data with simple to complex functions
- Explore data with drill-downs
- Create custom views filters using bookmarks
- Share your applications
