Use Cases
Examples
1. Product Price Volatility Analysis
E-commerce Analyst- Background
- The analyst needs to compare the price range of three different product categories to identify which items have the most volatile pricing.
- Problem
- Standard bar charts do not show the min-max range or outliers effectively.
- How to Use
- Input the min, max, and median values for each product category into the Data Ranges field and select 'Line' style.
- Example Config
-
[{"label": "Electronics", "min": 100, "max": 500, "median": 250, "outliers": [50, 600]}, {"label": "Clothing", "min": 20, "max": 150, "median": 60}, {"label": "Home", "min": 50, "max": 300, "median": 120, "outliers": [400]}] - Outcome
- A clear range chart showing the price spread for each category, with red markers highlighting price outliers outside the standard range.
2. Regional Temperature Range Report
Meteorologist- Background
- A weather report requires a visual summary of temperature ranges across different cities to highlight extreme weather events.
- Problem
- Need to display the daily temperature range while clearly marking the median temperature and extreme outliers.
- How to Use
- Configure the data ranges with min/max values and enable the 'Show Median' and 'Show Outliers' options.
- Example Config
-
{"rangeStyle": "bar", "showMedian": true, "showOutliers": true, "rangeColor": "#3b82f6"} - Outcome
- A professional bar-style range chart that displays the temperature span for each city, with distinct markers for the median and any extreme temperature spikes.
