Empower Data-Driven Decisions with Tableau Hierarchy Charts
Tableau Hierarchy charts are a type of visualization that allows you to show the hierarchical structure of data in a clear and easy-to-understand format. They are particularly useful for displaying data that is organized in a tree-like structure, such as categories, subcategories, and sub-subcategories.
There are several types of hierarchy charts available in Tableau, including:
- Tree maps: This chart type displays hierarchical data as nested rectangles. The size of each rectangle represents the relative size of the data, and the color represents a dimension of the data.
- Sunburst charts: This chart type is similar to a pie chart, but with multiple levels of nested slices. It can be used to display hierarchical data and is useful for showing how the different levels of data are related to each other.
- Heat map trellis: This chart type displays hierarchical data as a grid of heat maps, where each cell represents a combination of two dimensions of the data.
Hierarchy charts are a type of chart in Tableau that are used to display hierarchical data, such as an organizational structure or a family tree. There are several types of hierarchy charts available in Tableau, including tree maps, sunbursts, and treemaps.
To create a hierarchy chart in Tableau, follow these steps:
- Open Tableau and connect to the data you want to use. The data should include a hierarchy or parent-child relationship.
- Drag and drop the measures you want to use for the size or color of the nodes onto the Size or Color fields in the Marks card.
- Drag and drop the dimensions that define the hierarchy onto the Path field in the Marks card.
- Select the hierarchy chart option you want to use from the Show Me panel.
- Customize the appearance of the chart by adjusting the marks, labels, and other chart options as needed.
Hierarchy charts are useful for visualizing hierarchical data and can help you see the relationships between different levels of the hierarchy. They can also be used to compare the size or importance of different nodes within the hierarchy.
