The word cloud chart is a visual representation of words, which highlights the most popular ones based on frequency. The cloud generator provides you with quick and simple visual insights that can lead to more in-depth analyses.

Word cloud chart creation

Drag and drop the chart, which you can find underneath ‘Special charts’, into the canvas. Only a few simple actions left!

Let’s build the word cloud chart as such that we visualize how many customers we have per country. This will answer the following question : in which countries are we most active? We are using demo data for this example.

Measure

In our example, we want to know more about our customers. This is our subject we want to have the count on, so we will put this column in the measure slot.

Category

In our example, we want to know how many customers we have per country. So we want to group based on the country. We will put the country column in the category slot.

The bigger and bolder the country appears, the more customers we have in this region.
