Trick of the month:
Visualizing variances with
difference bars and columns

May 2010

Greetings, fellow data analysts!

"Show what is different - immediate­ly." This is rule #18 from Bella's new book, which explains the proper way to use data and graphics (in German). In other words, what interests us the most, whether in reporting or our daily lives, is the difference or variance. As a result, we should strive to show these changes first so that our readers can spot them immediately.

Using graphical tables, we can show and even measure what is different in a very simple, elegant way. And with DeltaMaster we can choose from many different visualization options including difference bars or columns, a new feature which has been especially designed to show differences. Difference bars or columns show experienced users of graphical tables the influence of variances in a data constellation.

In this edition of clicks!, we'll explain how to use this feature as well as other available alternatives.

Best regards,

Your Bissantz & Company team
