Power of Data Visualization
We are living in era of big data and its difficult to understand large amounts of data in rows and columns. But when we try to understand the big data using visualizations, its much easier process.
Data visualization is the process of taking raw data, transforming it into graphs, charts, images and even videos that explain the numbers and allow us to gain insights from it. It changes the way we make sense of the information to create value out of it — discover new patterns, and spot trends.
Think about a simple example:
How do you create a story to tell your boss — out of thousands of rows of data in an excel spreadsheet?
An easy way is to create a chart like a pie or a bar chart of the same data. Now, you have a visual representation and can start analysing and integrating it into your business, giving meaning and purpose to the original raw data.
