Introduction
In this article, we tackle the
following scenario – creating a graph comparing driver standings in Formula One
for two consecutive years- 2013 and 2013. This example uses real data from the Formula
One Championship and shows the quick steps to create an interactive chart with
two data series. Such graphs are commonly used in sports websites, to
display key performance indicators for given athletes. Key to any such
presentation is the good visualization of the data, as well as the polished
appearance. To achieve the task I am using data from Excel spreadsheet
and the functionality of the free online service Reportivo.com which provides all of the required
functionality.
When I open the report
generation page, I upload my data through the Upload a file
button data. The displayed table represents all the data in the file, which I
selected for upload.
Once the data
file is uploaded I select the data series that need to be included in the graph
and also select Chart Type and enter name for each of the data series being
added- This will affect the chart legend and the text in the tooltip for each
point
After adding some
graphs to my chart I proceed with setting the X-Axis option, which
specifies the labels that should appear on the X-axis.
I enable the horizontal zooming option which
will emphasize the detailed analysis of the displayed sales trends. Also I will
enable the printing and exporting option and will apply the settings.
In
the Labels tab I enter Values for Chart Title and Subtitle and enter Label
Values for the X and Y-axis.
Finally I
select the Dark theme for my Chart and publish it. Every report or graph or
table view that you publish in Reportivo.com gets its own static URL and embeds
code. Reportivo.com can be used to create powerful graphs that can then be
shared through popular social networks or embedded in Web sites for real-time
data collection or display
