Graphs
Histograms
• Key Skill Tested: Understanding of binning and identifying patterns in numerical data.
2. Heat Maps
• Scenario: Create a heat map to visualize the total sales across different product categories
and regions. Use color gradients to show high and low sales.
• Key Skill Tested: Ability to use color effectively for pattern recognition and understanding
multi-dimensional data.
3. Tree Maps
• Scenario: Create a tree map to represent sales contribution by product sub-categories within
each product category.
• Key Skill Tested: Summarizing hierarchical data visually and identifying top contributors.
4. Bullet Graphs
• Scenario: Create a bullet graph to compare the monthly sales of a region against a pre-
defined target.
• Key Skill Tested: Benchmarking performance and setting contextual reference lines.
• Scenario: Create a scatter plot to evaluate the relationship between sales and profit. Use
different colors for product categories.
• Key Skill Tested: Identifying trends, clusters, and outliers in paired data.
6. Histograms
• Scenario: Analyze the distribution of order quantities using a histogram. Discuss any patterns
in purchasing behavior.
• Key Skill Tested: Detecting the spread and central tendency of numerical data.
• Scenario: Design a heat map to highlight profit margins by region and segment. Use tooltips
to show detailed figures.
• Key Skill Tested: Handling multi-variable data and identifying geographical trends.
• Scenario: Build a tree map to compare the profit margins of sub-categories with their total
sales contributions.
• Key Skill Tested: Combining financial metrics and visualizing proportional relationships.
• Key Skill Tested: Analyzing performance against benchmarks and managing conditional
formatting.
• Scenario: Create a scatter plot to explore the effect of discounts on profit. Add a trend line to
identify if there’s a correlation.
