Visualization advice

danette — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 11:36:40 GMT

Hello,

I'm developing a dashboard where I need to show some percentages, like a cascade: for example: number of active users and number of inactive users. In the number of active users there are 10% of type A and 30%of type B; in users of type B we have 50% men and 50% women and so on..

I am looking for an attractive way to display this type of information but I cannot find any suitable templates. Do you have any advice/example to show me?

Thank you

TreeMap visual lets you visually see composition of a measure by hierarchy of dimensions.

If that's too busy, you can create a DrillDown dimension with your levels of UserActivity -> UserType -> UserGender, and use simpler chart (ex. pie chart) and allow the user to drill down the levels.

Thank you Stefejoyce for your advice.

Treemap seems to busy to me as I would like to give a quick information with this page and treemap is not that immediate, in my opinion.

I don't want the user to drill down as these are information that he should see as soon as he opens the page.

Yea... I like the sunburst chart but that will be a 3rd party extension.

Maybe 2 separate visuals for Active/NotActive and keep the axis the same so they can be compared with eachother. Then you'll have more options to use 2dimensional charts, like a stacked bar chart with x-axis = product type & stacked by gender. If you needed to, you can have a 3rd chart that's AllUserActivity, same way, but doesn't split by Active/NotActive.

Maybe someone else will chime in with opinions.
