In this video, I break down some of the 'science' behind effective data visualization and how you can build better dashboards by using different tips and techniques that I learned from what I call the "Data Visualization Bible".
You may think your dashboards are great but, as you'll learn, that isn't always necessarily a good thing.

Great Video. I'm new to the BI space, but I came from a design background and used the same principles. I tend to convey the information I'm trying to get across and then brand it when need it. I do use the doughnut chart but not the pie chart.

lmao I know Im bad when the horror movie music starts and I was thinking that's a decent dashboard

Thanks for this - good vid! I don't hate pie charts, i just think they are overused. But if you want to see the relative distribution of a small number of elements that are a part of a whole, it's hard to beat a pie chart. That said, I always start by asking myself "what question is being answered" and if there's a better option!

If you use pie charts correctly, they are absolutely useful! I do get a minor stroke every now and then though, when I see what appears to be 314 different categories cramped into one chart. IT RUINS THE PIE! Anyway, thanks for the great video Adam!

Dashboard error 101!

For me I use a stacked horizontal bar chart when showing the proportion of time/ money/ resources/ etc. spent in a given stage of a linear process. The bar categories are the process steps going left to right. You can quickly visualize most of your resources are going. I find it pretty intuitive and better than a pie chart in this situation.

I agree, that definitely does make more sense than a circular visualization 👍🏻

Thank you for bringing this to light, pie chart has become a staple in dashboards nowadays as its easier to show how 100% of a metric is used. Off to the dashboard video now, however, if you could answer...2 things...how often should we go for drill downs and is showing tabular data on a dashboard is fine in some case?

@LearnBI Жыл бұрын

Interactivity should be used to help the viewer understand the data better. What options you use will depend on the dashboard's intended audience and the requirements they have. And tables are absolutely fine on a dashboard when it is the best way to present the data. Usually, it's when there are too many metrics and dimensions in the query. I like to use conditional formatting on tables as well when it can help the viewer compare different metrics.

I only use binary pie charts! A yes/no or other binary split usually It's very powerful and doesn't confuse anyones Otherwise it's bar or column charts Unless your audience UNDERSTANDS the chart, don't use it!! There's more people maths-illiterate than you realise My guiding principle? Learn from advertisement posters! Very very simple messaging No more than a few items of data to soothe the furrowed brow of the viewer 🤩🌟

Hi Adam, I would like to mention that your videos on Looker Studio have helped us a lot in automating our reporting. With Universal analytics being deprecated and GA 4 taking over. I am eagerly awaiting your informational content on how to go about it using Google Big Query.
