SATYA TEJA D
 Chart that uses rectangular bars to represent data,
BAR CHART with the size of each bar proportional to the data
value.
Used to represent data that changes over time, to
display categorical information.
Eg:
Data of the population changes every year, marks
obtained, monthly salary etc.

Chart that displays data in the form of vertical bars

COLUMN
CHART that are grouped by category.
Used to compare values across categories or time
periods

Eg:
They can be used to show data like sales figures,
market share, and customer demographics.

Bar charts are means to display a measure against a

STACKED
BAR CHART single dimension.
Used to compare multiple categories, show changes
over time, or track trends.

Eg:
*Compare the sales of different products in a store.
*Track the number of website visitors over time.
 A column chart is a vertical chart, which could
STACKED present a single bar with multiple stacks in it.
COLUMN CHART
used to show the total of two or more categories and
to compare the totals and the differences in their
components
Eg:
Number of people in the world with and without
electricity access from 1998 to 2019.

CLUSTERED A clustered bar chart, also known as a grouped bar

BAR CHART chart or multi-series bar chart.
Used to represent discrete values for more than one
item that share the same category.
Eg:
Sales revenue of various departments of the
company over several years

Chart shows multiple data series using grouped

CLUSTERED
COLUMN CHART vertical bars.
Used to represent discrete values for more than one
item that share the same category
Eg:
*Track monthly sales against profit margins.
*Showcase monthly website visitors versus
conversion rate.
100% STACKED Similar to stacked bar charts, but show each series as
BAR CHART a proportion of the whole instead of numerical
values.
Each stack represents 100%, so you can use color or
patterns to distinguish each data series
Eg:
Product market share changes per year.

Chart displays columns as wholes with segments

100% STACKED
COLUMN CHART indicating the proportions of subcategories within each
whole.
Useful for comparing proportional contributions across
all categories.
Eg:
A company might use this chart to show which product
lines contributed to its revenue by quarter.

A visual that displays data points as dots connected by

LINE CHART lines, and is used to show how data changes over time.
Used to represent large amounts of data over a
continuous period of time.
Eg:
Analysis and preparation of government budget, used in
medicine and pharmacy to work out the correct
strength of drugs.
 An area chart is a visual representation of data that
AREA CHART utilizes both lines and filled areas to convey
information.
Used to show how values change over time or across
categories.
Eg:
Whether it's sales figures, website traffic, or stock
price.

A type of graph that displays the value of multiple

STACKED AREA
CHART groups over time, with each group's value plotted on
top of the previous group.
To show how a total value breaks down by groups, and
how those groups change over time.
Eg:
Market share of different companies in an industry over
a period of time, Carbon emissions over time.

Rectangular chart that shows how the parts of a whole

100% STACKED
change over time by plotting percentages on the y-axis.
AREA CHART
Used to compare the relative contribution of each
category to a total over time.
Eg:
A chart can show how the proportion of the world's
population that was not in extreme poverty changed
from 1820 to 2015.
 A combination of a line chart and a stacked column
LINE & STACKED
COLUMN CHART chart. It allows you to compare two sets of measures
quickly, and can have one or two Y axes.
Used to compare two sets of measures.
Eg: Compare a website's monthly total traffic against its
monthly bounce rate. Stacked columns can show the
contribution of each traffic source, while the line can
show the bounce rate.

LINE & CLUSTERED A visualization that combines a line chart and a

COLUMN CHART clustered column chart into one chart.
Used to compare two sets of measures.
Eg:
They can showcase monthly sales of each product
(clustered columns) against the overall monthly growth
rate (line).

A visual that shows how categories rank over time, and

RIBBON CHART how they contribute to a total. It's also known as a
stacked area chart or stream graph.
Used to compare and display data series, trends, and
patterns
Eg:
To compare the sales of various products over several
months.
 A visual that shows how a series of positive and
WATERFALL negative values affect an initial value.
CHART
They can be used to represent changes over time,
across categories, or for a series.
Eg:
Waterfall charts can be used to plot a company's annual
profit, showing the various sources of revenue and
arriving at the total profit or loss.

A funnel chart is a graphical representation that

FUNNEL CHART shows how data moves through a sequential process.
It's a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing
process flow, especially in sales and project
management.
Eg:
Funnel charts can be used to calculate and track
conversion and retention rates.

A scatter plot is a chart that uses dots to show the

SCATTER PLOT relationship between two variables in a set of data.
Used to observe and show relationships between two
numeric variables.
Eg:
You can use a scatter plot to see if there is a connection
between ice cream sales and the temperature outside.
 A pie chart is a circular graph that displays data as
PIE CHART slices, or wedges, of a pie, where each slice represents a
proportion of the whole.
Used to show how a total amount is divided into
categories, and are best for comparing the contribution
of each group to the whole
Eg:Percentages of the race/ethnicity of public school
students across the U.S. for a particular school year.

A donut chart is a type of pie chart that features a hole

DONUT CHART in the center, similar to a donut.
Used to visually represent the relationship between
parts and a whole, and to show the proportions of
categorical data.
Eg: Donut charts can be used to visualize the causes of
lost production time, such as equipment failure,
maintenance, shortages, and human error.

A treemap chart is a data visualization technique that

TREEMAP displays hierarchical data in a tree-like structure using
nested rectangles.
Useful tool for displaying large amounts of data in a
compact and easy-to-read format.
Eg:
Network administrators often use treemaps to analyze
disk space use.
