Word Cloud

A Word Cloud is a visual representation of text data in which the importance or frequency of individual words is represented using the font size. The more important or most frequently used a word is, the larger it appears. This format allows users to spot the most important or frequently used words in a Dataset. Word Cloud charts are best suited when trying to analyze the composition of language to help identify what the most important words or sentiments in a dataset are. For business purposes, Word Clouds can be helpful to find customers' pain points.

Creating a Word Cloud​

We drag and drop productLine column as Category and Total Sales as Values. We can see how many of these products were sold in the tooltip on mouseover.

Styling the Word Cloud​

In the Configuration Panel on the right of the Chart Builder, you can style different aspects of your visualization.

General​

  • Sort by - sort the data by label or numerical value in ascending/descending order.
  • Tooltips - enable or disable Tooltips.
  • Max Data Points- set the upper limit of the words you’d like to show in your Word Cloud. Controlling the number of these data points helps you manage the clarity and organization of the chart - if you have too many data points, the chart can quickly become unreadable.

Filters​

You can also add Filters to your data by expanding the Filters section in the configuration panel or by clicking on the Filters button in the toolbar above the canvas. Filters that are created in the Chart Builder are hidden from End Users. These types of filters can’t be edited or interacted with in the view mode. To read more about different types of filters, go to the Filters article.
