Visualizing Proportional Measures with Rectangles | AWS QuickSight

Chart for Dimension Visualization

Question

MSP Bank, Limited is a leading varied Japanese monetary institution that provides a full range of financial products and services to both institutional and individual customers.

It is headquartered in Tokyo.

MSP Bank is hosting their existing infrastructure on AWS.

MSP bank has many segments internally and they are planning to launch a self-data discovery platform running out of AWS on QuickSight. Using QuickSight, multiple datasets are created and multiple analyses are generated respectively.

The Team is working on visuals.

The team is looking for a chart to visualize one or two measures for a dimension with rectangle representing each dimension and size of the rectangle representing the proportion of the value for the selected measure that the item represents compared to the whole for the dimension.

Please advice.

A. B. C. D.

Answer: D.

Option A is incorrect -Use tabular reports to see a customized table view of your data.

To create a table visual, choose at least one field of any data type.

You can add as many columns as you need.

Plus, you can add calculated columns.

Option B is incorrect -Use heat maps to show a measure for the intersection of two dimensions, with color-coding to easily differentiate where values fall in the range.

Heat maps can also be used to show the count of values for the intersection of the two dimensions.

Option C is incorrect -Use line charts to compare changes in measure values over period of time, for the following scenarios:

One measure over a period of time, for example gross sales by month.

Multiple measures over a period of time, for example gross sales and net sales by month.

One measure for a dimension over a period of time, for example number of flight delays per day by airline.

Option D is correct -Use tree maps to visualize one or two measures for a dimension.

Each rectangle on the tree map represents one item in the dimension.

Rectangle size represents the proportion of the value for the selected measure that the item represents compared to the whole for the dimension.

You can optionally use rectangle color to represent another measure for the item.

Rectangle color represents where the value for the item falls in the range for the measure, with darker colors indicating higher values and lighter colors indicating lower ones.

The type of chart that the MSP Bank team is looking for is called a Tree Map.

A Tree Map is a visualization technique that shows hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles, where each rectangle's size represents a proportion of the selected measure for the dimension it represents. The larger the rectangle, the larger the proportion of the selected measure for the corresponding dimension.

In the case of MSP Bank, the dimension could be something like customer segments or product categories, and the measure could be something like revenue or profit. The Tree Map allows the team to see the overall proportion of revenue or profit for each dimension, as well as the relative proportion of revenue or profit for each sub-dimension within that dimension.

Tabular Reports would not be the best choice as they would simply display the data in a table format, without any visual representation of the proportionality. Heat Maps would also not be the best choice as they are typically used to display density or intensity of data, rather than proportions. Line charts would not be the best choice either as they typically show changes in data over time or a continuous variable, whereas the Tree Map is better suited to display hierarchical data.
