DATA VISUALISATION PLATFORMS

 

DATA VISUALIZATION PLATFORMS USED

Using the data which had been reformatted into Flat Table format, dashboards were created using three data visualization platforms - Excel Pivot Tables, Qlik Sense and Tableau. These platforms were chosen as they were suitable for the client's needs.

All charts presented in this wikipage have been created using randomised substitute data to protect our client's confidentiality.

EXCEL Microsoft Excel has been the most widely used data and spreadsheet modelling tool since its creation. Its interface and functions are familiar to most users including our client, hence it is one of our recommended dashboard tools. Another advantage of Excel lies in its versatility in executing computations alongside its visual and tabular analytical capabilities. Users can compute data using formulations and calculated fields directly within the data source, then load that dataset into a dashboard.

QLIK Our second recommendation for a visualization tool is Qlik Sense. Qlik ranks as one of the top data visualization platforms and a choice solution for many large Multinational Corporations (MNCs), offering improved aesthetics and more user-friendly design processes than primitive visualization software.

TABLEAU Tableau is a popular beginner-friendly visualization software which is similar to Qlik but holds additional advantages for our client. The following is a screenshot of the Tableau dashboard.
