Introduction to Data Visualization tools
Data visualization is the practice of translating information into a visual context, such as a
map or graph, to make data easier for the human brain to understand and pull insights from.
It is the representation of information and data through use of common graphics, such as
charts, plots, infographics, and animations. Data visualization is a powerful way for people,
especially data professionals, to display data so that it can be interpreted easily.

Data Visualization enables decision-makers of any enterprise or industry to look into

analytical reports and understand concepts that might otherwise be difficult to grasp.

Benefits of Data Visualization:

1. It is easy to understand the information with graphics

2. It made data to be represented in attractive way

3. Shows complex relationships

4. Helps to process large datasets

5. Useful for identifying trends

6. Minimizes ambiguity

Data visualization tools provide the ability to see and understand data trends, outliers, and
patterns in an easy, intuitive way. There are various data visualization tools available. One
must choose the tool based on various factors such as its ease of use, types of graphical
representations the tool can produce, size of the dataset the tool can handle etc. some of
Data Visualization tools are Tableau, Power BI, Google Charts, Python, R, etc.

The following are some common types of data visualizations:

✓ Table: A table is data displayed in rows and columns, which can be easily created in a
Word document or Excel spreadsheet.
✓ Chart or graph: Information is presented in tabular form with data displayed along an
x and y axis, usually with bars, points, or lines, to represent data in comparison.
✓ Geospatial visualization: Data is depicted in map form with shapes and colours that
illustrate the relationship between specific locations, such as a choropleth or heat map.
✓ Dashboard: Data and visualizations are displayed, usually for business purposes, to
help analysts understand and present data
Experiment-1:

1. Understanding Data, What is data, where to find data, and Creating Your First Visualization
in Python.

What is Data?
Data refers to raw facts, statistics, or information collected or stored in a structured or
unstructured form. Data can take various forms, such as text, numbers, images, videos, and
more. It is the foundation of all information and knowledge and is used in various fields for
analysis, decision-making, and understanding trends and patterns.

Data can be categorized into two main types:

Structured Data: This type of data is organized into a specific format, such as tables or
databases, and is easily searchable and analyzable. Examples include spreadsheets, relational
databases, and CSV files.
Unstructured Data: Unstructured data lacks a specific format and can include text documents,
social media posts, images, audio recordings, and more. Analyzing unstructured data often
requires advanced techniques like natural language processing and image recognition.

Where to Find Data?

You can find data from various sources, depending on your specific needs:

Open Data Portals: Many governments and organizations provide free access to a wide range
of data through open data portals. Examples include Data.gov (United States) and data.gov.uk
(United Kingdom).
Data Repositories: Academic institutions, research organizations, and data enthusiasts often
share datasets on platforms like Kaggle, GitHub, and the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): Some websites and services offer APIs that allow
you to programmatically access and retrieve data. Examples include Twitter API, Google Maps
API, and financial market APIs.
Web Scraping: You can extract data from websites using web scraping tools and libraries like
Beautiful Soup and Scrapy. However, be mindful of the website's terms of use and legal
restrictions.
Surveys and Surveys: You can conduct your own surveys or collect data through questionnaires
and interviews.
IoT Devices: Internet of Things (IoT) devices generate vast amounts of data that can be used for
various purposes.
Commercial Data Providers: Some companies specialize in selling datasets for specific
industries, such as market research, finance, and healthcare.
Foundations for Building Data Visualizations :
Creating effective data visualizations requires a strong foundation in several key areas:

Data Analysis: Before creating visualizations, you should thoroughly analyze your data to
understand its structure, relationships, and any patterns or trends. Exploratory data analysis
(EDA) techniques can help with this.

Statistical Knowledge: Understanding basic statistics is essential for making meaningful

interpretations of data. Concepts like mean, median, standard deviation, and correlation are
commonly used in data visualization.

Domain Knowledge: Having knowledge of the specific domain or subject matter related to your
data is crucial for creating contextually relevant visualizations. It helps you ask the right
questions and provide valuable insights.

Visualization Tools: Familiarize yourself with data visualization tools and libraries such as
matplotlib, Seaborn, ggplot2, D3.js, and Tableau. Each tool has its strengths and can be used for
different types of visualizations.

Design Principles: Study design principles, including color theory, typography, and visual
hierarchy, to create visually appealing and effective visualizations. Avoid common pitfalls like
misleading visualizations.

Interactivity: Learn how to add interactive elements to your visualizations to engage users and
allow them to explore the data. This can be achieved using tools like JavaScript, Python
libraries, or dedicated visualization software.

Creating Your First Visualization:

To create your first data visualization, follow these general steps:

Select Your Data: Choose a dataset that aligns with your goals and interests. Ensure that the
data is clean and well-structured.
Define Your Objective: Clearly define what you want to communicate or explore with your
visualization. Are you looking to show trends, comparisons, or distributions?
Choose the Right Visualization Type: Select a visualization type that suits your data and
objectives. Common types include bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, histograms, and pie
charts.
Prepare and Transform Data: Preprocess your data as needed. This may involve aggregating,
filtering, or transforming the data to fit the chosen visualization.
Create the Visualization: Use a suitable tool or library to create your visualization. Customize
it with labels, colors, and other design elements.
Interactivity (Optional): If appropriate, add interactive features to your visualization to allow
users to interact with the data.
Test and Iterate: Review your visualization for accuracy and clarity. Seek feedback from others
and make improvements as necessary.
Publish or Share: Once you are satisfied with your visualization, publish it on a platform,
embed it in a report, or share it with your intended audience.
Document and Explain: Provide context and explanations for your visualization. Clearly
communicate what the viewer should take away from it.
Maintain and Update: If the data changes or new insights emerge, update your visualization
accordingly.

Python has different modules for visualizing data such as matplotlib, seaborn.

Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive

visualizations in Python. It presents data in 2D graphics. Seaborn is a visualization library that is
built on top of Matplotlib.

It provides data visualizations that are typically more aesthetic and statistically sophisticated.

Matplotlib can be installed using the following command:

pip install matplotlib

Once the module installed, it must be imported into the program using the following command
import matplotlib as mpl, where mpl is the alias name given to matplotlib library.

matplotlib.pyplot is a state-based interface to matplotlib.

matplotlib.pyplot is a collection of functions that make matplotlib work like MATLAB. Each
pyplot function makes some change to a figure: e.g., creates a figure, creates a plotting area in a
figure, plots some lines in a plotting area, decorates the plot with labels etc. pyplot can be
imported into the program using following command

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Following are some of the basic data visualization plots

1. Line plots

2. Area plots

3. Histograms

4. Bar charts

5. Pie charts

6. Box plots

Line Plots:

A line plot is used to represent quantitative values over a continuous interval or time period. It is
generally used to depict trends on how the data has changed over time.

Experiment 3: Tableau Calculations, Overview of SUM, AVR, and Aggregate features,
Creating custom calculation sand fields.

Aim:- Tableau Calculations, Overview of SUM, AVR, and Aggregate features, Creating custom
calculations and fields.

Solution:- Tableau offers a powerful set of calculation tools that allow you to manipulate,
transform, and analyze your data in various ways. Here's an overview of some key concepts
related to Tableau calculations, including SUM, AVG (average), and aggregate functions, as
well as creating custom calculations and fields.

SUM and AVG (Average) Functions:-

SUM Function

The SUM function in Tableau calculates the total sum of a numeric field. You can use it to find
the sum of values in a column or as part of a more complex calculation. To use SUM, simply
drag and drop a numeric field into the "SUM" shelf, or you can create a calculated field using the
SUM function.

AVG (Average) Function

The AVG function calculates the average (mean) value of a numeric field. Like SUM, you can
use it by dragging a numeric field into the "AVG" shelf or creating a calculated field with the
AVG function.
Aggregate Functions:

Tableau provides a range of aggregate functions that allow you to perform calculations on
groups of data. Common aggregate functions include SUM, AVG, COUNT, MIN (minimum
value), and MAX (maximum value). These functions are particularly useful when you want to
analyze data at different levels of granularity (e.g., by category, region, or time period).

Aggregate functions allow you to summarize or change the granularity of your data.

For example, you might want to know exactly how many orders your store had for a particular
year. You can use the COUNTD function to summarize the exact number of orders your
company had, and then break the visualization down by year.
Aggregating Dimensions

You can aggregate a dimension in the view as Minimum, Maximum, Count, or Count
(Distinct). When you aggregate a dimension, you create a new temporary measure column, so
the dimension actually takes on the characteristics of a measure.
Creating Custom Calculations:
Tableau allows you to create custom calculations using calculated fields. Here's how to create a
custom calculation: 1. Create a New Calculated Field In the Data Source Pane, right-click on
your data source and select "Create Calculated Field".

Alternatively, you can create a calculated field by right-clicking on a shelf in your worksheet and
choosing "Create Calculated Field".

2. Enter Your Calculation: In the calculated field editor, you can use functions, operators, and
field references to define your calculation. For example, you can create a calculated field to
calculate profit margin as (SUM([Profit]) / SUM([Sales])) * 100.

3. Name and Save the Calculated Field: Give your calculated field a meaningful name. Click
the "OK" or "Apply" button to save the calculated field.
4. Use the Calculated Field in Your Worksheet:

You can now use the calculated field like any other field in your worksheet. Drag it to the Rows
or Columns shelf, use it in filters, or create visualizations based on it.
Experiment 4:
Applying new data calculations to your visualizations, Formatting
Visualizations, Formatting Tools and Menus, and Formatting specific parts of
the view.
Aim:- Applying new data calculations to your visualizations, Formatting Visualizations,
Formatting Toolsand Menus, Formatting specific parts of the view.

Solution:- Applying New Data Calculations to Visualizations.

1. Drag and Drop Calculated Fields: To apply your newly created calculated fields to a
visualization, simply drag and drop them onto the appropriate shelves in your worksheet. For
example, you can drag a calculated field to the Rows or Columns shelf, use it in filters, or place
it on the Marks card to control the appearance of marks.

2. Filter with Calculated Fields:

Create filters using calculated fields to control which data points are displayed in your
visualization. You can use calculated fields to filter by specific criteria, such as a calculated date
range or a custom ranking.
Formatting Visualizations

Tableau provides a wide range of formatting options to make your visualizations more appealing
and informative:

1. Format Pane: On the left side of the Tableau interface, you'll find the Format pane. It
allows you to format various aspects of your visualization, such as fonts, colors, lines,
shading, and borders. Simply select the element you want to format and use the options
in the Format pane to make changes.
2. Marks Card: The Marks card, located above your visualization, offers formatting
options specific to the type of marks you're using (e.g., color, size, label). Click on the
Marks card to access these options and modify how your data is represented.

3. Axis and Gridlines: You can format axis labels, titles, and gridlines to improve the
readability of your visualization. Right-click on an axis or gridline to access formatting
options.
 4. Legends and Color Scales: Customize legends and color scales to provide context for
your visualizations. You can change colors, labels, and the position of legends to match
your data.

Formatting Tools and Menus:

Tableau provides several formatting tools and menus to help you refine the appearance of your
visualizations:

1. Format Menu: The Format menu at the top of the Tableau interface provides access to
various formatting options, including font styles, shading, borders, alignment, and more.
You can use this menu to format text, labels, and other elements.
2. Worksheet Menu: In the Worksheet menu, you'll find options to format the entire
worksheet, including background color, borders, and worksheet title. You can also adjust the
worksheet size.

3. Dashboard Menu: If you're working with dashboards, the Dashboard menu allows you
to format the entire dashboard layout, including background, size, and title.
Formatting Specific Parts of the View:-
Tableau lets you format specific elements of your visualization:

1. Annotations: You can add annotations to your visualizations to highlight important points
or provide additional context. Format these annotations using the options available when you
right-click on an annotation.

2. Tooltips: Customize tooltips to display relevant information when users hover over data
points. You can format tooltips to show or hide specific fields and control their appearance.

3. Headers and Titles: Format headers, titles, and subtitles for clarity and consistency. Use
the Format pane or the Format menu to adjust text formatting, alignment, and shading.

on the data type symbol in the column header.

New Column(Calculated Fields)

Calculated fields can be used if you need to create customized logic for manipulating certain
data types or data values. There are a large-range of functions available in Tableau that can used
individually or collectively for data manipulation.
Pivoting Tableau data

Data pivoting enables you to rearrange the columns and rows in a report so you can view data
from different perspectives.
Experiment 6:

Structuring your data, Sorting and filtering Tableau data, Pivoting Tableau
data.
Aim:- Structuring your data, Sorting and filtering Tableau data, Pivoting Tableau data.
Solution:- Creating Sorting and filtering Tableau data, Pivoting Tableau data:

Tableau supports connecting to a wide variety of data, stored in a variety of places. For example,
data might be stored on computer in a spread sheet or a text file, or in a big data, relational, or
cube (multidimensional) database on a server in enterprise or the data can be from a public
domain available on the web. Data can be imported in Tableau Public from Connect panel on
left side.

For example, an Excel sample data set was loaded into Tableau as follows:
The data store page appears as above. The left pan shows that above dataset consists of 3
worksheets. If we drag orders table, screen appears as follows: Tableau automatically identifies
the data type of each column.

Now drag Returns table onto the Canvas to the right of Orders table. This shows the relation
between the two tables Orders and Returns.
If we click on the link between Orders and Returns table names at the top gives the summary of
the relationship between the tables. Now rename the data store and click on Sheet1 at the bottom
left to proceed. This step creates a data extract which improves query performance.
Experiment 7:

Creating Dashboards & Storytelling, creating your first dashboard and Story, and
Design for different displays, and publish your visualization.

Aim: Creating your first dashboard and Story, and Design for different displays, and publish
your visualization.

Solution:

A dashboard is a way of displaying various types of visual data in one place. Usually, a
dashboard is intended to convey different, but related information in an easy-to-digest form.
And oftentimes, this includes things like key performance indicators (KPI)s or other important
business metrics that stakeholders need to see and understand at a glance.

Dashboards are useful across different industries and verticals because they’re highly
customizable. They can include data of all sorts with varying date ranges to help you
understand: what happened, why it happened, what may happen, and what action should be
taken.

For example, category of sales across months in a year, region is the field added.

The first view is shown below. This can be renamed at the bottom of the screen.

Now go to 2nd sheet for creating second view. The second view is shown below. A bubble
chart was drawn between profit and subcategory. Then rename the sheet
Next third view is created as follows for profit for each subcategory in the category with
averages.

After creating individual views, now a Dashboard can be created by clicking on create
dashboard at the toolbar.
after clicking on new dashboard option, the screen is shown below

Now the sheets or views which are created earlier can be drag and dropped on this dashboard.
The above three created views are placed in the dashboard as follows.

One can follow their own way of importing sheets on the dashboard.
After creating dahsboard, title can be given to the dashboard from Dashboard tab.

Dahsboard can be customized in terms of its appearance by the user if required. Dashboard
once created can be saved on user’s system and can be retrieved whenever required
