Portions of a Whole

Lab 12:

Goals

  • Decide which parts-of a whole visualization is most effective for your data
  • Explore different methods to visualize the same dataset, communicating a similar story

Parts of a Whole

  • Pie Chart
  • Multiple Pie Charts
  • bubble bar Charts
  • Tree maps
  • Heatmaps
  • Stacked Bar
  • Multiples Scattered
  • Waffle

The key to a Waffle Chart is the auxiliary table. You need an excel spreadsheet with row number, column number, and percentages. This will provide the framework to build your visualization on. This is the “Tableau Waffle Structure” Sheet. You can use this for every Waffle Chart you ever make.
