Visualize Relationships, Connections and Associations in Networks with Tableau Software Clearly and Simplyproudly presents a new guest article: Michael Martin of Business Information Arts, Tableau Partner, Tableau Certified Consultant and leader of the Toronto Tableau User Group shows us how to visualize Network Graphs using Tableau Software. Enjoy. Network Graphs can help us see and measure relationships and connections between people, places, and things over time. This can be expressed as identifying, measuring and understanding process flows, the mix of products in shopping carts, social network and email traffic, affinities and interests people share (or don’t share), and the “hierarchies of influence” in business and / or social systems by identifying who or what triggers events, and the impacts they have on others. Today’s post describes how you can build Network Graphs using Tableau Software versions 6 or 7, including a detailed how-to tutorial and some information on the background of Network Theory. What is a Network Graph? A Picture says more than 1,000 words What are Network Graphs for? Here are just a few practical examples: Contacts Between Philanthropic Twitter Users The Organization of Hierarchical Communities The Path to Products People Buy Last, but not least a Network Graph built inTableau: Association of Food Groups, Brands and Flavors Tableau’s Out of the Box Network Graphs Tableau Desktop is one of my favorite data analysis and reporting tools. Other excellent products such as Visokio Omniscope support network graphs as one of a wide number of supported view types. But what I have always found so impressive about how Tableau is engineered is how various “loosely coupled” features can be re-assembled to create new ones. Examples of this include double axis graphs, bullet charts, and the support for bubble graphs and tree maps in the upcoming Tableau 8 release (Q1 of 2013). Tableau is a fabulous “Swiss Army Knife” for visualizing data. Build Network Graphs with Tableau – The How to My implementation of network graphs in Tableau leverages features that have been around since version 1, the circle and the line mark types, and support for scatter plots – and ability to draw double axis graphs (hackable for years before being officially supported as “combo charts” in version 6). With a little bit of data preparation, this is all you need to draw a network graph in Tableau.
