Tableau Charts – The Types and Traits Part 02

2. To know about the first 12 types of Tableau Charts, click here to go to Part 01! Line Charts Line Charts are highly suitable for displaying tendencies and shifts over time; hence a date Field is a prime requirement for this chart type. There are three types of Line Charts, Continuous Line Chart Discrete Line Chart, and Dual Line Chart. Let’s take a look at each in the mentioned order. 13. Continuous Line Chart Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 1 or more measures For instance, if you want to show the sales margin of a particular product over time, such as over a year, or two years, or even a span of six months, the Continuous Line Chart will do the work! You can present the sales margin of more than one product simultaneously by adding more lines that are differently colored.

3. 14. Discrete Line Chart Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 1 or more measures The difference between the Discrete Line Chart and Continuous Line Chart depends on the type of data fields that are associated with each. The two types of data fields are Discrete and Continuous fields, mapped accordingly to the former and latter chart types. Continuous fields contain an infinite number of values, while Discrete fields contain finite values. 15. Dual Line Chart Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 2 measures The Dual Line Chart, also known as the Dual Axis Chart, allows you to present two Measures with two different axes. The Measures are assigned to two axes on either side of the horizontal axis, thereby making it easier to compare two Measures over the same time period.

4. 16. Continuous Area Chart Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 1 or more measures The Area Chart, in general, has the characteristics of both the Line Chart and the Stacked Bar Chart. It helps you to distinctly display the relative proportions of totals or the percentage relationships between Dimensions. In the event of more than one Dimension, the Area Chart stacks the volume, in colour, beneath the Line. As a result, the total of the fields and also, their comparative size of Measures will be displayed accordingly. 17. Discrete Area Chart Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 1 or more measures The Discrete Area Chart is quite similar to the Continuous Area Chart; the only difference is that the former deals with discrete values. Like the Discrete Line Chart, the Discrete Area Chart allows you to break down the graph as per your requirement.

5. 18. Dual Combination Minimum Requirements: 1 date 0 or more dimensions 2 measures The Dual Combination Chart has the layout of a Dual Line Chart, one common axis, the X-axis for the date, and two separate axes, the Y-axes for two different Measures. However, it uses multiple Mark Types for the Measures in the same sheet, hence the word, combination. A common variant of the Dual Combination Chart is the Line-and-Bar, provided by Tableau. In the Line-and-Bar Combination type, the first step is similar to creating a complete Dual Line Chart. Once the Second Measure gets dropped into the View, a new Marks shelf will get generated. Now, the Mark for each Measure can be changed independently of each other, resultantly allowing you to create a View containing a combination of Mark Types.
