Process visualization over time

[mr_novice]

Hello all!

I have a very simple process where items are in different status over time. I have visualised the current status and amount in a table as below. Very simple. Now, I need to show how these statuses have changed over time and I don't want to create a table for each day in history... So how do you suggest this can be displayed in the best way?

Sparklines in the "current" table? - Comparison would be difficult.

Trendline chart with amount on Y-axis, time on x-axis and status as dimension?

Any other suggestion?

Current:

Status1	Status2	Status3	Status4	Status5
200	300	50	20	10

Yesterday:

Status1	Status2	Status3	Status4	Status5
100	400	25	80	90

I think that line chart is the best idea ... Time and Values on axis.

Hi,

If you want to compare status volume in two different times, I would try to work with incremental values in a bar chart with status as dimension.

Thank you Alessandro. Thats my best alternative right now.

Hi Marc,

What do you mean by incremental values on a bar chart? - One bar per status and amount on the y-axis? Should I use a stacked bar chart to show the values for different time? the x-axis would be status and time? or time and status?

Sorry for all questions.

Hi,

I meant something like this:

If you want to compare current and yesterday, the incremental display will be fine. Otherwise, if you need to analize the current amount, use bar chart with total amounts.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

If you need to see both amount and compare to yesterday, you can make like this:

Does it fit for you?
