📈 Exploring Core Chart Types

Participants explored several commonly used

• Line Charts for trend analysis over time

• Pie & Tree Maps for proportional comparisons

• Funnel Charts to analyze sales pipelines and conversion stages

• Scatter Charts to compare performance across regions and categories

Special attention was given to data aggregation and formatting, ensuring values were numeric and correctly summarized to avoid misleading visuals.

🧩 Funnel & Scatter Chart Use Cases

Funnel charts were used to analyze sales performance by country, helping identify drop-offs and bottlenecks in the sales process. Scatter charts enabled comparisons between net sales and quantities, making it easier to spot high-performing cities and regions.
Top-N filtering techniques were also demonstrated to focus dashboards on the most impactful data.
