The Data Visualisation Catalogue

12 Things Successful People Do in the First Hour of the Workday Seven things I learned about data visualization Last week, the World Bank Data team descended on New York City for Visualized - a two day event exploring the “evolution of communication at the intersection of big data, storytelling and design.” It was awesome. Here are seven things I learned: 1) Iteration is the path to perfection By now you’ve heard of Nate Silver - the statistician behind FiveThirtyEight and a near-perfect prediction of the 2012 US elections. Shan Carter from the NYT graphics team showed how newspapers have struggled to represent the potential scenarios and actual outcomes of US elections ever since the late 19th century. That’s 257 revisions. 2) Competitions can waste creative talent Scott Belsky of Behance - an online showcase of creative work talked about “the future of creative careers.” I paraphrase, but Scott gave the example of a company’s logo design contest that had a prize of EUR 1,500. But wait Tariq! Johan and Amparo (my economist colleagues...) point out that “life is a trade-off problem.”

In other words, a data set that has no influence of your current selections. A year over year or a month over month sales comparison is a handy example for you to use Qlikview set analysis for. Like those fun lego games, you can start with all data in your application and then add, remove or change data to create another set that you want. I admit that the syntax of the set analysis in qlikview is bit intimidating for a beginner, but it’s not as daunting as it looks once you master the concept. Let’s start with the basics first. The very word set analysis ought to remind you of a guy named John Venn. With that said, set analysis provides a method to create a set based on another set. Example: 1. 2. 3. 4. Elsewhere:
