Nominal Comparison Data Relationship
- Compares the values of a nominal variable based on the values of a second, numeric variable
- Compares the sizes of each category
- Compares the values of a nominal variable based on the values of a second, numeric variable
- Compares the sizes of each category
Nominal Comparison Data Relationship
Nominal Comparison Data Examples
Bar charts, column charts, dot plots
Distribution Data Relationship
Shows how the values of a numeric variable are distributed, or spread out, by providing the lowest value, the highest value, the medium, the interquartile range, etc.
Shows how the values of a numeric variable are distributed, or spread out, by providing the lowest value, the highest value, the medium, the interquartile range, etc.
Distribution Data Relationship
Distribution Data Examples
Histograms, violin plots, box-and-whisker charts
Deviation Data Relationships
- Shows how a set of actual values deviated from their reference values, which are budgeted or forecasted values
- Identifies different when results are higher or more favourable then expected, lower or less favorable than expected, and if targets are unreasonable
- Shows how a set of actual values deviated from their reference values, which are budgeted or forecasted values
- Identifies different when results are higher or more favourable then expected, lower or less favorable than expected, and if targets are unreasonable
Deviation Data Relationships
Deviation Data Examples

Ranking Data Relationship
Orders the values of a variable sequentially based on the values of a second variable

Part-to-Whole Relationship
Compares parts to the whole and looks at how the different parts compare to each other
Compares parts to the whole and looks at how the different parts compare to each other
Part-to-Whole Relationship
Part-to-Whole Examples

Correlation Data Relationship
Indicated the degree to which two variables move in the same or opposite direction

Scatterplot
Time Series Data Relationship
- Defines the values of a variable at sequential points in time
- A visualization requires a time unit such as a minute, hour, day, or week, and a variable that changes over time
- Defines the values of a variable at sequential points in time
- A visualization requires a time unit such as a minute, hour, day, or week, and a variable that changes over time
Time Series Data Relationship
Time Series Data Example
Line chart, bar chart, column charts, area charts, waterfall charts, sparkline charts
Geospatial Data Relationship
Numeric values are assigned to locations and encoded through coloring or shading and the sizing of the bubbles within the visualization
