Dumbbell Column Chart

Unleash the power of comparison with the Dumbbell Column Chart

Data visualisations play a fundamental role in answering an important data question:”How does result A compare to result B?”. Typical examples of these questions are:

• How does the sales of this month compare to the sales of last month?
• What is the difference between the number of documents processed this year compared to 2017?
• How does the number of planned-visitors compare to the number of unplanned-visitors at our locations?

Key in answering this kind of question is explicitly visualising the difference between the two results. This is the strength of the Dumbbell Column Chart: showing both the values and the difference between them.
