When excluding some of the factors, however, we lost the view of the initial index with all the factors. So, the tweak I added is a pair of lines using dual axis. One line chart shows the original index with full factors. The other is with reduced factors. This way, we visualize the impact of some of the factors on the Tea Leaf Index. We see the difference if some of the factors are excluded.
Here is the resulting viz by excluding the Tencent stock factor. We see that the index of the month is reduced by 17%. That's how Tencent can affect the index. However the impact is not linear in the calculation.
One of the major objectives for data visualization is always to show the difference between different categories or scenarios, etc. The difference or the change is the information. Otherwise, we are not exerting the maximum impact that data visualization may bring about.

Great work! I've created a vaguely similar dashboard with 9.0.14 (stuck with this version until my company upgrades it's server). Unfortunately it looks like I can't even open your dashboard since I'm running and old version.
ReplyDeleteI used fixed LOD calcs to create comparison to a population average. What functionality did you use to allow parameters to be applied only to one graph line while leaving the other unaffected?
