Select Variables
Variables are the columns of data used by visualizations. For example, if you have a database of sales information broken down by product, you might associate the total amount of sales for a given with the Size variable in a Treemap. You could also associate the difference between this year’s sales and last year’s sales to the Color variable for the same Treemap. This simple configuration will let you see at a glance which products are bringing in the most revenue and which products are increasing and decreasing in sales.
Each visualization uses a different set of variables, depending on the capabilities of the visualization:
