Charts by Question
Not sure what chart to use? Find your question below and discover the right visualization for your data.
"I want to compare values across categories"
If your data has categories on one axis and numbers on the other, you need a comparison chart. The right one depends on how many categories and whether you have sub-groups.
"I want to show how something changes over time"
If your x-axis is dates, months, years, or any ordered time dimension, you need a trend chart. Choose based on whether you care about the trajectory, the volume, or the composition.
"I want to see how my data is distributed"
If you have one numerical variable and want to understand its shape — is it normal? skewed? bimodal? where are the outliers? — you need a distribution chart.
"I want to find the relationship between variables"
If you want to answer "does X correlate with Y?" or "which variables are related?", you need a relationship chart.
"I want to show parts of a whole"
If your data represents percentages, proportions, market share, or budget allocation, you need a composition chart. The right one depends on how many categories and whether you have hierarchy.
"I want to show a process or pipeline"
If your data represents sequential stages with drop-off — like a sales pipeline, conversion funnel, or user flow — you need a flow chart.
