Remember that dashboard your execs wanted?

That dashboard was pretty sophisticated
– Sparklines are “word-sized charts” that can fit into small, word-size spaces
![Page 4: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Sparklines are great for high-level metrics
![Page 5: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Line charts are bigger and offer more context than sparklines
– Ideal for showing trends, history
– Best used for time series and sequences

Bar charts are great for comparing data points
– Line charts are great for trend spotting
– Bar charts are visually better for direct comparisons and proportion
![Page 8: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Data bars are little, bitty bar charts embedded within the row
– We could have made a “full blown” bar chart also
![Page 9: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Gauges are visual analogies
– Great for showing progress
– Two types:
• Radial
• Linear

Indicators are inline gauges
![Page 11: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Maps are awesomeness, pure and simple
– Can show shapes, or shapes with satellite image overlays, or just satellite images
![Page 12: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Pie and doughnut charts are great for showing proportion
– A doughnut chart is just a pie chart with a hole in the middle!
![Page 13: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Shape charts are another handy way to show proportion
– Funnel and pyramid charts are popular choices
– You can define colors, 3D, more

Area charts are great for showing trends
– Displays data contiguously along the X axis (or “category axis”)
![Page 15: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Range charts are similar but have two values (the “range”)
![Page 16: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Stock charts are useful when you have multiple values per data point
– A stock may have an opening price, min price, max price, and average price
![Page 17: What Types of Reports Can You Create?](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54c4d0734a7959ff128b45a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Tables are included in many reports to provide additional context or information relevant to other charts/graphs in the report
