04 Dec Create a Scatter Plot in Tableau
A scattered plot, also known as a scatter plot or scatter diagram, is a type of data visualization that displays the relationship between two continuous variables as a collection of points on a grid.
Each point represents a single observation or data point, with its x-coordinate corresponding to one variable and its y-coordinate corresponding to the other variable.
Here’s an example.
Suppose we want to investigate the relationship between the amount of time spent studying (in hours) and the exam scores (in percentage) of 10 students:
The scattered plot would display the data points on a grid, with:
- X-axis (horizontal): Study Time (in hours)
- Y-axis (vertical): Exam Score (in percentage)
- Points: Data points representing individual students’ study time and exam scores
Let us see an example to create a Scattered Plot in Tableau:
We have created a new sheet with the name Scatter Plot in the same Tableau project Amit_Tableau.twb.
To create a Scatter Plot, drag the fields to the respective sections:
- Columns Shelf: Sales
- Rows Shelf: Profit
- Labels pane of the Marks card: Sub-Category
After dragging, the Scatter Plot is created as shown below and displays the distribution of the um of sales and profit across the Sub-Category. We have set the view to Entire View:
