Dumbbell charts are an eye-catching way of comparing two values. They can be used for detailed comparisons or simple KPIs. Dumbbell charts are effective at displaying the relationship between two data points and highlighting the magnitude of change between them. By using a simple yet powerful visual representation, dumbbell charts enable you to easily compare and contrast data points, identify trends, and uncover insights that might be hidden in traditional visualizations.
In this video, we explore the benefits and uses of dumbbell charts, and show you how to create them in Tableau to add depth and clarity to your data storytelling. Whether you're looking to analyze changes over time, compare categories, or highlight outliers, dumbbell charts are a valuable tool to have in your data visualization arsenal.
