Good business analyst to provide insight through data for the user but also gives data glamorous and full combat armor. Build your own data in the color of the article we mentioned, the amount of color data of color is regular, is evidence-based, can give the appearance of bright lights data. Today we share with you how to create exclusive armor data, so that data becomes more "fighting."
Here is a simple example, Analysts often the actual data and target data for comparison. How will the results of the comparison show it effective ? Such as the actual number of the target or budget comparison. This is also one of the data analysis of the most common contrast. By cross-tabulations, this process can be very simple and straightforward. For example, here we have a small set of data on operating expenses and budget. We put on the budget and actual data column, the region on the line, the results come up pretty good.
Chart 1
But really this is over yet ? Further thought, maybe we can do more for the user ! Let's take a moment to look at the results, we can find out how fast the actual completion of which is below the target areas the most, which Up above the target area actually completed. Chart 1 is not very intuitive, is not it ? To solve this problem, you can do a very simple thing: add a difference column, and may be significant color on the end result landmarks, such as an icon two shows, low real complete amount the budget is red. At this point we can see that the North is the only one to complete the target area.
Chart 2
Do here is done? As analysts, we not only see the results to the user, and more, we should provide insight to users so they take the next step of action. Now we convert the table with Power BI to show and see what we will reap.
Figure III
Figure III dashboard that we can quickly the North has completed the goal. East, South and West have not completed goals, goal difference as far as Eastern and Southern Districts. Sales need to refuel.
Intuitive dashboard can tell users who do well, who did a poor job. But we could take the same thing with a map to show, rather than as Figure III is divided into four different dashboard it? We continue to explore. From the fourth Clustered Bar graph we can clearly see the North East and the objectives set in more than three million, representing a target amount of 68% of the four zones, so we know East and North Market bigger. In addition the actual completion of the North has exceeded the target, the future is not possible to set a target of a large number of North and North to make sales share sales experience.
Figure IV
Of course, we can also replace the polyline and Clustered Bar Clustered Column, figure 5, although the content and IV show the same, but the visual effect from the fold line and easier Clustered Column allowing users to focus on actual completed.
Figure V
Figure V we can see that in addition to the North, the remaining three target areas are not completed, then we continue to look at how to find out which area to complete the amount of the farthest distance of the target, is the Eastern or Southern? From five in the diagram, you can quickly discover the actual completion of the Southern District in four areas in the distance is the biggest target, confirmed the eyes, it is what I want the map! I have not found a more Figure V Figure VI of view, more compact and more full? At this point you can answer the questions at the beginning of the article. South at this time need to sell more business to understand what the problem, companies need to provide the kind of help can increase the amount of the actual completion of the Southern District.
Figure VI
In the Power BI, we can find a lot of visual components, how to select the most appropriate components, and ultimately we still have to take into account the content and audience data . Use a suitable way to show data, if the data to create a strong set of armor, let invincible. And today we are here to share it, please pay attention to more exciting content Chushi Sheng Hua micro-channel public number.
