All right.

Next up want to do a quick demo of what I feel is one of the most underrated chart types the tree map

you'll find the tree map right here in the visuals pane looks like a little box split up into smaller

boxes which is exactly what the visual is going to look like.

And obviously we're a little tight on space.

I don't want to squeeze it in here.

Try to resize anything we already have.

So I think it would be a good idea to modify our total orders by category bar chart here because the

way we're showing data in this view actually lends itself very very well to a tree map visual and I'll

show you what I mean right now with one click we can convert that from a bar into a tree map and basically

a tree map is designed to show composition.

So in this case we're seeing how the total order volume breaks down into different categories and segments.

In this case product categories.

So without even looking at the data labels themselves you can get a very clear very quick picture of

relative volume and proportion here.

So you can see that accessories drove the largest order share followed by bikes followed by clothing

by simply comparing the size of the rectangles that they make up.

And in fact one thing that I really like about tree matte visuals is that they can be extremely effective

without showing a single number at all.

So to show you that let's actually go into labels and I'm going to turn off the data labels entirely.

So now we're not seeing a single number yet we're still communicating a very clear story about how those

order volumes break down by product category.

And of course we still have a tool tips which kind of embeds deeper information if the user chooses

to access it.

Otherwise it's a very simple very clean yet very effective visual.

And now remember because we also have subcategory built in here as well into the fields list that means

we have access to our drill down capabilities.

So check it out.

Here's a tree map by subcategory.

And the way to read this again is just by looking at the relative sizes of the rectangles for each subcategory.

So you've got tires and tubes starting in the upper left helmet's road bikes bottles and cages mountain

bikes and then you start getting into smaller and smaller and smaller fractions of that total order

volume until you're down here and bike stands which is the lowest volume which you see is reflected

right here in the bar chart as well.

So obviously our title might need to change if we're allowing viewers to see this tree map by either

category or subcategory.

But let's drill back up will default to showing it by category.

And there you have it.

I think that gives us kind of a nice balance.

We've got some visuals that are very dense very information heavy.

We've got others that are designed to really just draw attention to key business metrics.

We've got purely visual designs as well plus user controls so that our clients can completely customize

the view that they're looking at.

So I'm really happy with this executive summary view.

I think it serves its purpose.

Next step we're going to continue to dig into a few different visual types start exploring some more

advanced tools and build out a new tab to really dig deep into product specific performance.
