Lab 3 - Visualizing Geographic Data in Tableau

This document provides instructions for a Tableau data visualization lab assignment involving geographic data. Students are asked to visualize 2016 superstore sales data from several countries in different geographic visualization types in Tableau: filled maps, symbol maps, and density plots. For each visualization type, students must plot the data for specific countries and states and identify the highest and lowest performing locations based on metrics like profit and sales. The instructions provide details on how to create the visualizations and leverage features like filters, colors, and sizes.

data in Tableau

We have three types of visualizations for geographic visualizations: filled maps,


symbol maps, density plots.
Filled maps fill areas such as countries, states, counties, or ZIP codes to
show a location. The color that fills the area can be used to encode values,
most often of aggregated measures.

With symbol maps, marks on the map are not drawn as filled regions;
rather, marks are shapes or symbols placed at specific geographic
locations. The size, color, and shape may also be used to encode additional
dimensions and measures.
Unlike filled maps, symbol maps allow you to use size to visually encode
aspects of the data. Symbol maps also allow for greater precision. In fact,
if you have latitude and longitude in your data, you can very precisely plot
marks at a street address-level of detail. This type of visualization also
allows you to map locations that do not have clearly defined boundaries.

Density maps show the spread and concentration of values within a


geographic area. Instead of individual points or symbols, the marks blend
together, showing intensity in areas with a high concentration. You can
control color, size, and intensity.

Data set: Superstore 2016


https://github.com/akuchotrani/TableauGettingStarted
Use superstore data set (also uploaded on LMS) to answer the following questions:

Q1. Plot maps to see the profit generated in the states of each of the following
countries: US, India, Australia, Brazil, France. Also mention the highest profit
generating state for each country.
(Try tweaking color and detail shelves on marks card for better visualization. Use filter
feature.)
Q2. Plot symbol maps to see the profit and sales generated in the states of any one of
the following countries: US, India, Australia, Brazil, France. Also mention states based
on highest profit and highest sales, lowest profit and lowest sales.
(Try tweaking color and size shelves)

Q3. Plot density map to see the density of quantity sold in states of any one country.
Also mention the state where highest quantity is sold.
(Try tweaking color shelf)
