Metrics Difference as Gantt Chart

by Data Boutiq

When comparing multiple metrics, such as profit for the current and previous years, you can enhance your visualization by displaying the difference not only with a standard bar from the axis but also with a bar that visually connects the peaks of the actual measures. Adding color coding further accelerates data perception, making it easier to quickly identify trends and differences.

How can comparing several metrics help

Comparing multiple metrics can reveal trends and correlations that might be missed when examining a single metric. This approach can:

  • Identify Trends and Correlations

    Spot patterns and relationships between different metrics.

  • Highlight Areas for Improvement

    Pinpoint areas that need further investigation or enhancement.

  • Uncover Growth Opportunities

    Reveal potential areas for business expansion or improvement.

  • Detect Potential Problems

    Identify issues early and provide insights into various aspects of business performance.
