For example, a spider/radar can be easily used to compare three different types of phones based on five criteria (speed, screen size, camera quality, memory, apps). This allows the reader to easily visualize the “area” (or weight) of each series relative to each other.Ī spider or radar graph is a very useful type of graph for showing qualitative data or the overall “score” or comparison of multiple series. Shows performance on a scale (e.g., bad to good)Īn area chart is a solid area and can be effective when showing stacked, cumulative data series – for example, showing the cumulative sales revenue from different products.Learn how in our data visualization course. To build one you have to combine a pie and a doughnut. The gauge chart is perfect for graphing a single data point and showing where that result fits on a scale from “bad” to “good.” Gauges are an advanced type of graph, as Excel doesn’t have a standard template for making them. For example, to show the distribution of age categories (0-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc.), we can clearly see which categories are the biggest and how many people fall into each.
