Data Visualisation
Data visualization describes the presentation of abstract information in graphical form. It allows you to spot patterns, trends, and correlations that otherwise might go unnoticed in traditional reports, tables, or spreadsheets. The human brain processes visual information 60,000 times faster than text
âIn fact, visual data accounts for 90 percent of the information transmitted to the brain. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, a visual is worth a thousand data points. The right visualization will help you gain a deeper understanding in a much quicker timeframe.â
Data visualization conveys one of the following types of information:
- Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
- Relationships
- Comparisons
- Distributions
- Compositions
