Circular Tree Map


Darren Holmblad (TPO)

Director, Product Owner • Microstrategy, Inc.


Visualize hierarchical data as nested circles of different sizes and colors, using the Circular Tree Map visualization. Each circle represents a level in the data hierarchy, with the color of the circle corresponding to an attribute and the size determined by a metric value. With this visualization, users can quickly and easily spot patterns for even large datasets - for example, identifying which store provides the most profit.
