Executive Dashboards & Presentation-class Reports

Just for fun I created the AFL ladder below using CALUMO to illustrate two of our business intelligent in-cell charts.

In the first column of the table, we're using a win/loss bar chart to show each team’s record for the 17 rounds of the 2007 AFL season. A blue bar represents a win, a red bar a loss and a blank bar a draw. With 16 teams and 17 rounds played, the bar chart effectively shows the visual equivalent of 272 data points, maximizing data density without compromising readability or ease of use.

Let's take a look at these results: Geelong took 5 rounds to warm up, but definitely seem to be on a winning roll now. Collingwood & Fremantle both seem to have a "win at home, loose away from home" problem. After winning six games straight, West Coast started paying the price for not being able to play their best football.

CALUMO In-Cell Charts provide an intelligent visual way of presenting large amounts of meaningful data for identifying trends, comparing data and highlighting exceptions.

In the last column of the table, we compare the percentage wins using a simple relative sized horizontal bar combined with numeric value percentage wins. By combining charts and data together in a table, we do away with the need to separately label axes and legends, or the need to associate the table data with the chart information. In order to achieve this, CALUMO Visualization Widgets provide in-cell charting for presentation class dashboards and charts.

With the click of a mouse, CALUMO In-Cell Charting make the design of really compelling executive dashboards easy.
