Visualizations help us understand complex data
The best reason to use a visualization to understand your data is
that most data sets are far too large to consume in their raw
format. Humans are limited in what information we can process
and compare in our heads, especially if that information resides in a
million row data set, but we are good at quickly processing visual

information.

“Visual analytics leverages our pre-attentive attributes – visual cues


humans process automatically with sensory memory. We can notice
and interpret these kinds of attributes quickly and without special
effort.”

Data granularity
Data granularity refers to the level of detail for a piece of data,
wherever you are looking. As data becomes less granular, we might
describe it as an aggregation, or as aggregated data. Aggregation refers
to how data is combined. The level of granularity or aggregation in a
row or chart affects the questions we can ask of the data, and the
discoveries we can make.
radha.diff@gmail.com

• By default, measures placed in a view are aggregated by SUM, which


FMEH37ZJ05

means that the data for that field in all of the rows is combined.
• Measures can also be aggregated as average, median, count, or
count distinct.
• Dimensions break down the aggregated total into smaller totals by
category.
