Data map is a graphical data asset management tool. It provides multi-level graphical display and has various control capabilities to meet the graphical query and assistance of different application scenarios for business use, data management, development, operation and maintenance. Analyze the needs. For a long time, many professionals have hoped to use the data map in their data analysis and business presentations to improve professional quality and communication efficiency. However, because map materials and production tools are difficult to obtain, it is difficult for ordinary office workers to make their own maps, and they can only envy the exquisite maps on foreign media and reports.
In fact, the production of data maps does not require very complex operations, nor does it require a complex operation software—a type of map chart. Compared with the most basic charts such as column charts and bar charts, data maps are only a little more complicated in terms of data source settings.
Next, let's use Smartbi as a tool for drawing maps and introduce you to the steps of drawing maps in several business scenarios.
