The Information Lab Unit Charts Show Me How:

Show Me How IntermissionBest PracticeBuilding in TableauAlternativesI thought it might be worth a quick break from our Show Me How Series for a “commercial break” Our Show Me How series is all about bringing the Show Me Bar to new users but what happens when the chart type you want isn’t available? Perhaps you’ve graduated from Show Me and you’re wondering how to apply some more advanced techniques to build the chart types you want Well that’s what we’re advertising in this commercial break What goes in Show Me are generally visualisation types that can be created via a simple rearrangement of the pills on rows columns and marks that means that often people ask for visualisations that just aren’t in the standard list One such example is Unit Charts click the image below to read about these charts in the Data Visualisation Catalogue Unit Charts are certainly not best practicefrom a visualisation standpoint I’ve rarely seen a visualisation where a bar chart isn’t a better option However they look cool so we should establish a few do’s and don’t around using them so that we can remain good Tableau citizens DOuse Unit Charts to tell you’re audience what you’re counting (eg people) when it might be unclear DO use simple common symbols your readers will understand DOinclude a legend and ideally a label DOstick to understandable units 1 10 100 1000 10000 etc DON’Tuse varied numbers of symbols to build each stack – it can leave the user confused DON’Tuse partial symbols – again it may leave the user confused If you’re stepping away from the safe harbour of Show Me and the regular chart types then please be aware that there are some choppy waters ahead of us We’ll be using several Table Calculations in the building of this visualisation and if you aren’t comfortable with them then I suggest you sail over to my blog post Understanding Tableau Calculations using SIZE() and INDEX()for a primer I’ll try and explain each step of the build as we go along to help you and I’ve included an explanatory Viz Here’s what we’re going to create [tableau url=”https//publictableaucom/views/ExampleUnitChart/UnitChartDashboard” width=”675px” height=”750px”][/tableau] Step 1 Set up the Parameters Unit Charts usually have several elements the number of rows of pictograms that make up each “bar” (three in the example above) and also the number of items referred each pictogram (100 in the example above) Let’s set up these parameters in Tableau [Grid] Integer Default Value = 3 [Person Size] Integ This method is only really applicable when you have the lowest level of detail in your data in this case orders What happens when you don’t? Well Steve Carter used a great technique in his Adoption Gap visualisation to blend in a grid of data points representing each shape – download his workbookand see what you think.
