Which visualization type is like a cross table which contains color instead of numbers?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A heat map is a visualization type that is similar to a cross table, but instead of displaying numbers, it displays colors that represent the values in the cells. A heat map can be used to show the distribution of data across two or more categories using a color gradient. A heat map can also be colored by a third column, which can be selected from the Color by drop-down list in the Cross Table Properties dialog. A heat map can have different color schemes applied to different color scheme groupings, which are containers for one or more axis values that share the same color scheme. To learn more about coloring in cross tables and heat maps, seeColoring in Cross Tables and Heat Maps.Reference:Cross Table Properties -- Colors,Coloring in Cross Tables and Heat Maps,Specifying text color and background color for cross table cells,How to set a custom color scheme for a particular column.

I’m surprised it’s not a parallel coordinate plot!

I thought it was B) Treemap at first.

Haha, a heat map is definitely the way to go. It's like a color-coded spreadsheet!

Parallel coordinate plot? Really? That's not even close to the right answer.

A heat map is the correct answer, it's like a cross table with color instead of numbers.

I feel like I’ve seen heat maps in my studies, but I can’t recall if they were specifically described as cross tables. I hope it’s A!

I’m a bit confused between heat maps and treemaps. They both use color, right? But I think heat maps are more about showing density.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think heat maps were definitely mentioned as using color to represent data.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards A) heat map, but I'm not 100% sure. I know heat maps use color to show data, so that seems like the closest match to the description. I'll go with that, but I'm open to changing my mind if someone has a better explanation.

I'm pretty confident the answer is A) heat map. That's the visualization that uses color to represent values in a grid or table format, similar to a cross table. The other options don't quite fit that description.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know heat maps use color to represent values, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a cross table. Maybe B) treemap is the right answer since that's a grid-like visualization?

Okay, let's think this through. A heat map is a grid, and a treemap is like a nested box chart. Scatter plots and parallel coordinates are different types of visualizations. I'm going to go with A) heat map.

Treemaps are cool, but not the right choice here.
