How to Visualize Data with Pareto Charts Using JavaScript

July 11th, 2023 by Shachee Swadia

Pareto Chart built using JavaScriptWelcome to this step-by-step tutorial that will empower you to create an interactive Pareto chart using JavaScript that will look nice on any device and in any browser!

A Pareto chart is a captivating graphical combo representation that showcases individual values through descending bars, while a line graph illustrates the cumulative total. It is a powerful tool highlighting the relative importance of different categories within a dataset. Named after the visionary economist Vilfredo Pareto, the Pareto chart embodies the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. This principle reveals that approximately 80% of effects stem from a mere 20% of causes. With their ability to pinpoint the most significant elements driving a specific scenario, Pareto charts have become indispensable in certain areas of data analysis.

Every chart needs data, and for this tutorial, I have chosen a dataset to serve as an example for illustration. Together, we will embark on a journey to visualize the major customer complaints for consumer loans in a Pareto chart, demonstrating how easily you can achieve it at every step. So get ready, and let’s dive into the world of Pareto charts and create our own interactive masterpiece!

Creating Decomposition Tree in Qlik Sense

June 27th, 2023 by Alejandro Wassermann

Created Decomposition Tree in Qlik SenseHey Qlikkies, are you itching to explore your data ad-hoc across multiple dimensions and conduct root cause analysis like a boss? Look no further than the Decomposition Tree visualization! I first stumbled upon this gem in Power BI, but guess what? Now you can harness its power within the realms of the Qlik Analytics Platform. In this tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how you can easily create amazing decomposition trees for your BI dashboards and apps in Qlik Sense.

A decomposition tree is a type of chart that uses a tree-like structure to represent how a whole metric or outcome can be broken down into its constituent parts or factors. It provides a hierarchical view of the relationships between different dimensions or variables and their contributions to the overall metric. By visually displaying the decomposition of a measure, such as sales or revenue, into various components, such as product categories, regions, or time periods, the decomposition tree helps identify the key drivers and understand the underlying factors influencing the metric. And I’ll use the tech layoffs data to show you how this can look and work in reality.

Let’s dive in and unleash the decomposition tree power in Qlik Sense!

Building Column Charts with JavaScript

December 29th, 2022 by Shachee Swadia

Building Column Charts with JavaScriptWith data everywhere around, we should know how to graphically represent it to better (and faster) understand what it tells us. One of the most common data visualization techniques is column charts, and I want to show you how you can easily create interactive ones using JavaScript.

A column chart is a simple, yet powerful way to display data when you need to compare values. From this tutorial, you will learn to make its different variations — basic single-series, multi-series, stacked, and 100% stacked column graphs — and apply effective customizations in a few more lines of JS code.

As a cricket fan, I thoroughly watched the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held last month in Australia. I decided to use some data related to the championship for illustrative visualizations. JavaScript column charts built throughout this tutorial will let us look into the batting statistics, and more precisely, the number of runs scored by the top 10 batsmen at the tournament. Let’s have fun learning!

How to Create Word Tree Using JavaScript

October 14th, 2022 by Awan Shrestha

A word tree chart in JavaScriptIt is a pure fact that a graphical or pictorial representation of data, known as a data visualization, conveys information faster than raw data in arrays, spreadsheets, or dense reports. Charts make data easier to understand, which further helps to quickly develop valuable insights. Interesting, right? Now, let’s have a look at one chart type called a word tree and see how to build it with ease.

A word tree is a data visualization form designed to show multiple parallel sequences of words (or phrases) as they appear in a text. Analyzing texts becomes easier with word trees as they display, by means of a branching structure, how selected words are connected to others.

In this tutorial, I will walk you through the process of creating a beautiful word tree chart with JavaScript (HTML5). The text being visualized will be the famous speech “I Have a Dream” by minister and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. Each step will be explained in detail, and you’ll see everything is pretty simple. Sit tight and enjoy the learning!
