4 Alternatives to Bar Charts in Power BI
Don’t you hate how whenever you buy something online, you see algorithm ads for days/weeks/months afterwards for that same product?
It’s like that big AI Skynet hivemind living in Jeff Bezo’s basement, while very smart, isn’t necessary intelligent. You have bought, say, a chandelier, and now the Amazon monster thinks:
“they bought one chandelier, and haven’t returned it, or left a bad review, therefore they must want MORE chandeliers. Bombard them with chandelier ads! Money money capitalism singularity sell to the humans”.
It has LOST the thread of our chandelier story. We don’t need another chandelier once we’ve bought one (usually, I don’t know your situation). What we need to buy is maybe special-sized lightbulbs for that chandelier, or we need a guide to figure out how to install it. Or we need some kind of special duster to clean it.
We need a different tool. We bought the tool that holds light sources. Now we may need the light sources, or an installation guide tool, or a cleaning tool.
This applies to Data Visualization too, and why it’s good to have alternatives to Bar Charts. Click through to TraversData.com to read the full post.
Where I’ll be next: Fredericton!
In May, I’m headed to Fredericton, New Brunswick (a small but lovely city) for the annual conference of the Canadian Evaluation Society.
I’ll be presenting a talk that has been growing and evolving at different conferences over the past year. It’s about how Data Literacy initiatives *never* work as planned and why that is, and how to fix it with Data Visualization.
I’ll also be talking about Power BI and data visualization with whoever in Fredericton wants to listen.
