Advanced Charts
In previous exercises, you have explored distributions and relationships across single as well as multiple measures, which allows you to answer essential business questions relatively well. But Tableau offers advanced chart types, which can help answer complicated questions such as What are the trends of profit with regard to sales by year? You can easily answer this question by utilizing a dual axis chart.
In this section, you will explore the following chart types:
- Quadrant charts
- Combination charts
- Lollipop charts
- Pareto charts
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of the advanced charting available in Tableau; there are other interesting chart types such as donut charts, sparkline charts, Sankey diagrams, and waffle charts. But the charts above are some of the essential ones that are most frequently used in business dashboards, and are generally well received by end users.
