Chart Types

Overview

Daymark chooses a chart or table based on the type of question you ask. Use the guide below to understand what each chart type is best suited for.

Chart Type	Primary Goal	Best Used For
Pie	Composition	Showing parts of a whole
Scatter	Correlation	Finding relationships between two variables
Funnel	Sequence	Identifying drop-offs in a process
Bar (Multiple)	Comparison	Comparing different groups in the same category
Bar (Stacked)	Part-to-Whole + Total	Showing how categories contribute to a total sum
Line (Multiple)	Trends	Tracking how several items change over time
Table	Detail	Displaying high-precision, multi-variable data

Daymark will still choose the chart automatically, but clearer questions yield more useful visuals.
