Visualizations
Learn how to create useful charts in Querio.
Querio uses visualizations to make data easier to compare and explain.
The best visualization requests are specific about what you want to compare, what should be on each axis, and how the data should be grouped.
Good visualization requests
| Good request | Why it works |
|---|---|
| "Bar chart of revenue by region, sorted descending" | Names the chart type, metric, grouping, and sort |
| "Line chart of monthly sales for the last 12 months" | Gives a metric, time grain, and timeframe |
| "Scatter plot of order value vs margin, colored by region" | Defines both axes and the color grouping |
| "Heatmap of orders by weekday and hour" | Gives a clear shape for the visualization |
What to specify
When creating a chart, include:
- Chart type: bar, line, scatter, heatmap, donut, histogram, or area
- Metric: the value you want to measure
- Grouping: the category or dimension to compare
- Timeframe: the date range or time grain
- Sorting: if the order matters
Common chart types
Bar charts are useful for comparing categories.
Line charts are useful for trends over time.
Scatter plots are useful for relationships between two measures.
Heatmaps are useful when two dimensions interact.
Histograms are useful for distributions.
If the first chart is not right, send a follow-up. Querio can change the chart type, filters, labels, or grouping from the same explore.
