BAR CHART
Where to Use (Use Cases)
⦿ Compare sales across different products
or categories
⦿ Show profit vs loss for regions
⦿ Track performance over time
(monthly/quarterly)
A bar chart is used to compare different categories. The
length of each bar shows the value, like total profit or
sales.
For example, we can compare profit and loss across
product categories or regions
PROFIT VS LOSS BAR CHART
⦿ Bar chart compares profit and loss
values
⦿ Each bar represents total profit or total
loss
I created a calculated field called Profit
Status to classify each record as either
Profit or Loss.
If the profit value is greater than zero, it is
labeled ‘Profit’; otherwise, it is labeled
‘Loss’.

SCATTER CHART
Where to Use (Use Cases)
⦿ Analyze how discount affects sales and
profit
⦿ Identify outliers (very high/low values)
⦿ Explore correlation between variables
A scatter chart is used to see the relationship between
two variables. Each dot represents a record.
For example, we can check how discounts impact sales
and profit. We can also identify products that are
performing very well or very poorly.
