14 New Data Visualizations Posted

There are very few things that teach better than examples and direct experience.

To that effect, we've recently posted 14 new visual examples - which brings our total to 67 real-life examples of data visualizations based on data and scenarios you might encounter in your daily work life.

Every single visual example shows a data visualization and a description of the situation it's analyzing. But best of all, each one has a packaged workbook with the data for download. You can interact with the vizes and create new ones yourself. If you don't already have Tableau Desktop, download it now and use it for 2 weeks. You'll be able to create new vizes, modify the ones you see and bring in your own data.

Among the 14, I have my own favorites:

  • Using Google Analytics to Improve Website Content: Great way to take website data and make it more insightful and actionable.
  • Pollution Analysis: Easy to understand views about "particulate matter (PM)" and "carbon monoxide (CO)" in areas across the U.S.
  • NBA Top 40: Even a non-sportsnut like me can appreciate this look at the 40 top scorers and their cities of origin.
  • An Analysis With Teeth: Having worked with a few packaged goods companies in the past, I just love this look at tooth decay over time and thinking about how a toothpaste marketer might use this view.
  • Credit Fraud Analysis: Given the TARP turmoil, it's informative to see how financial institutions themselves assess risk and spot fraud.

Whether you're into economics, web analytics, research, education, geographic analysis, government, oil & gas or any of our 36 topic areas and 17 industries, you're bound to find something of interest.
