The Bullet Graph
One very efficient way to show each of these comparisons in one view is using a “bullet
graph” . Let's go ahead and connect to the data table and create a bullet graph by Ctrl-select-
ing City , 2011 HR , and 2012 HR , and then choosing bullet graph from the Show Me panel.
The resulting view is shown in Figure 5-16 .
In this initial view created from the Show Me menu, the length of the blue bars is determined
by the 2011 HR totals, as evidenced by the green pill in the Columns shelf. The vertical black
lines are the 2012 HR totals for each team, and the bands are at 60% and 80% of the 2012
values.
