How to Create a Jittered Bar Chart in Tableau

No comments

Are you tired of the same old boring bar charts? Add some flair to your data visualization with a jittered bar chart! See more of your data without losing scope of the overall. 

To create one, simply add a random amount of noise to the x-axis and y-axis of your bar chart. This will add more granularity to your data, prevent overlapping and give your chart a unique look. Try it out and impress your colleagues with your data viz skills! 

Here’s a video to help you create your own.

How to Create a Jitter Plot

No comments

In this tip I show you how to create a jitter plot. A jitter plot is very similar to a dot strip plot other than it reduces the overlapping of the data points. The data is plotted like a dot plot and then we use either the RANDOM() or INDEX() functions to spread out the dots.

#MakeoverMonday 2021 Week 22: The Plastic Waste Makers Index

No comments
This week I iterated through 18 charts and 3 dashboards. To be honest, I think a bar chart was definitely the best way to represent the data, but I wanted to do something different. I'm not convinced the scatterplot works.

How to Show and Hide Underlying Data with a Set Action

No comments
In this tip, I show you how to use a set action to drill down into the underlying data behind a mark. This example uses a dot plot to go from sales at the category level to then show each underlying sale.

I first saw this technique demonstrated by Lindsey Poulter; I've extended it to include jittering.

Watch Me Viz - #MakeoverMonday 2020 Week 36 - How Healthy Is Your Favorite Cereal?

Watch from start to finish as I create my Makeover Monday viz. I'll start by reviewing the original viz (what I like and don't like), getting context from the original article, then create charts and graphs to make a better version than the original.
