Histogram with Additional Detail

Case 17.

A regular histogram shows the distribution of a measure. Did you know that you can add additional detail to the histogram? For example, let's look at the distribution of the number of orders per customer, add granularity by the customer, and color coding for profit from each customer.


Why add extra detail to the histogram

  • Showing distribution of the number of orders per customer
    help businesses understand their customer base and identify which customers contribute the most to their overall sales. It can also identify trends in customer behavior, such as which customers order more frequently over time.
  • Granularity by customer visualization
    helps businesses to gain insights into their customer base.It can be used to identify patterns and trends in customer behavior and make decisions about optimizing customer experiences best. With granularity by customer visualization, businesses can quickly identify which customers are more likely to purchase a particular product or service, determine which customers are most likely to abandon a purchase, and remember which customers are most likely to remain loyal to the company. This data can inform marketing campaigns and other strategies to ensure the best customer experience.

  • Color coding for profit from each customer
    a way of displaying the data to show the profitability of each customer. This type of visualization will show the customer's total profit and a breakdown of the different kinds of revenue and expenses that make up that customer's profit. For example, a customer's income could be represented as green, while their costs could be described as red. It enables the user to quickly understand the customer's profitability and identify the most profitable customers. Additionally, color coding can show customer profitability trends over time.
