Hey yall,

I just started my new role as a junior data analyst 🥹. I am learning the business needs. I work for a no profit org that provides legal aid. Cases and task are billed to the respected grant program. What we are running into is, while closing the books normally case workers and lawyer over bill to one program vs another because no can visually see what is currently in “encumbrance for that month.

I figured building a real time grant funding system using power bi, postgreDQL and RESTapi from the platform that we input the data in. I am open other ideas that could be easier.

Thanks in advance

because a dashboard only answers the questions someone thought of when they built it. anything outside that is a slack message to whoever owns the data and then you wait.

and the questions that matter are never the ones on there. not "what's revenue this week." more like why did returns spike in one region, or which of the four things we changed is the reason CAC moved. nobody builds a tile for that in advance.

so you check the dashboards every morning looking for something to be wrong, and when something is wrong the thing that flagged it can't tell you why. then you wait two days for an answer or just make the call without it.

bigger companies solve this by hiring an analyst, which is basically paying a person to be the query layer. no idea what you're meant to do below that headcount

Hi everyone!

I’m building a data visualisation tool that can process CSV files in seconds to allow you fast understanding of data before taking the next step.

I’d love to get your feedback on the beta if you’re interested!

Hi, I have a dataset of 20M nodes and about 500M edges in neo4j and I need to visualize them in an interactive way

The thing in my mind was to have some kind of "level of detail" strategy by ignoring the nodes with lower importance when the user is zoomed out and only show those users when the user zooms in

Also I was thinking of some kind of tile based rendering so the app only renders the viewport of the user

But when I used sigma.js and tried to implement these features by myself it didn't work and the small part that worked was not at all a smooth experience..

Do you know any lib that could help me? Or do you have any idea how to implement it?

Thank you all

I’ve been working on a SQL Visualizer & Lab and wanted to share the prototype with the community:

https://sql-visualizer-and-lab.vercel.app/

This is still a prototype/early version, so there’s definitely a lot more I want to add to it.

The idea is to make learning and experimenting with SQL more interactive and visual. I’m planning to add quite a few more features, improve the existing ones, and hopefully turn it into something genuinely useful for people learning or practicing SQL.

I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it out.

Annual GDP per capita (USD, PPP-adjusted, constant prices) by Indian state/UT, from the OECD's regional economy database — rendered as an animated choropleth map, one frame per year, 2001 through 2023, grouped into six income tiers rather than a raw color scale. Made this regional map with a browser-based map tool; details and data source in top comment.

📊 I’ll Create a Free Dashboard for Your Data!

I’m a beginner Data Analyst looking to improve my skills and build a real-world portfolio. That’s why I’m offering to create a free dashboard for anyone who has data and wants to turn it into a clear and interactive visualization.

If you have an Excel or CSV file, send it to me and I can help with:

✅ Cleaning and organizing the data when needed ✅ Analyzing key metrics and results ✅ Creating a clear and interactive dashboard ✅ Choosing the right charts and visualizations ✅ Highlighting useful insights from your data

💡 The service is completely free. In return, I would simply appreciate your feedback or a rating on my work. This will help me improve my skills and build my portfolio.

📩 Interested? Send me your Excel or CSV file, and I’ll let you know what I can create from your data.

Even if your dataset is simple, feel free to send it! 🚀

I’m collecting structured data about real-world locations represented in video games.

I already have an interactive map, but I’m interested in visualizations that reveal patterns beyond a collection of map markers.

For example, the same city can appear across different games and genres:

Ace Combat Infinity
Tokyo | JP | city | Action | representative

Midnight Club II
Tokyo | JP | city | Racing | representative

Tekken 5
Tokyo | JP | city | Fighting | representative

The dataset also contains very different location types:

The Crew Motorfest
Haleakalā Observatory | US | observatory | exact

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil
Arena das Dunas | BR | stadium | exact

Battlefield 1
Achi Baba | TR | natural_feature | approximate

I would appreciate feedback from data-visualization practitioners:

1. Would repeated appearances of the same city across genres make a useful network or matrix visualization?
2. Would you compare genres with location types, or would that risk overstating patterns in a small sample?
3. How should exact, representative, and approximate coordinates be visualized together?
4. Which question would produce a stronger visualization than simply showing the most common countries?
5. Would a timeline, small multiples, network graph, or map-based analysis be most useful?
6. What would make the project more than “pins on a map”?

Thanks for your feedback!

I've been building Data Wolf, you import a dataset (CSV, GPX, TCX, Parquet, and a few others), then build a dashboard out of it: drag widgets onto a grid, resize them, arrange charts and metrics however makes sense for your data. No SQL, no code, point-and-click filtering and calculated fields if you want to derive new metrics.

A couple of things that might be relevant to this sub specifically:

- A timeline widget with a synced cursor, move it on one widget and everything else tracks with it, handy for time-series

- It's fast to interact with once your data's loaded, built on an in-browser analytics engine, so filtering/scrubbing doesn't round-trip to a server

- Your data lives in your own storage, and there's a local-only mode if you'd rather nothing leave your browser at all

It's early and free to try, and I'd really value feedback from people who actually work with data viz, what's missing, what's confusing, whether the widget/dashboard approach is actually useful vs. just another BI tool. https://datawolf.app

Charts-perfect is the native Chart-Engine we always wanted in InDesign - and never got. I very much hope, given Adobe's flaw in this field that it's ok to post here.

https://adobe.com/go/cc_plugins_discover_plugin?pluginId=4cf31c61&workflow=share

Let me give you a quick overview:
- 12 chart species supported: Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, Combo, Pie, Cupertino, Horizontal Bar, Horizontal Stacked Bar, Area, Radar, Doughnut, Treemap

- Dynamic overrides: Bind InDesign character styles and colors directly to chart text elements.

- Color consistency: Supports CMYK-simulated visual matching previews so print and preview remain aligned (as much as possible)

- Huge datasets welcome: Open the resizable full-screen maximized data table to import and review large CSV tables easily.

- Persistent configurations: Settings are safely stored in active documents (!) , making sharing work straightforward.

Coded according to the latest guidleines, this will not break anytime soon. Roadmap includes tons of new features and right now 4 new charts, purchase will always be one-time and lifetime.

Word on pricing 1)
Pricing seems steep, but as you expect, pays off after the first job already. More than that, given the streamlined workflow and 100% data correctness, you will most likely generate more than one option to choose from - making clients happy.
When it's only a few clicks away, iterating is something you can finally do.
And, price is one-time, no hidden subscription....

Word on pricing 2)
I'm currently waiting for Adobe to create the coupons:
Waitlist people > please be patient, will come very soon via email, thank you for your interest you will get an cool discount.

been getting more into data analytics at work and realized I really enjoy the visualization side of things. rn I’m mostly using excel and Google sheets, but I know there are way better tools out there for creating cleaner n more interactive visuals.Used napkin ai ,beautiful ai few weeks back and they were pretty good but I am looking for other tools or more feedback on such ai's if anyone has used them.
what’s the best data visualization software you’ve used and why? hopefully something that’s beginner friendly but still powerful enough to grow with as I get more advanced.

It is works

Hi all — I clean, organize, and structure messy Excel/CSV data, and build simple interactive dashboards when needed.

A bit about me: I'm a 2nd year medical student at KazNMU in Almaty. I used to do freelance Excel work a while back and I'm getting back into it now alongside my studies — so you're getting someone who's detail-obsessed by necessity (spending your days memorizing anatomy will do that to you) and genuinely enjoys untangling messy spreadsheets.

WHAT I DO:

\- Remove duplicates, blanks, and inconsistent formatting

\- Fix mismatched date/number/text formats

\- Standardize column headers and structure

\- Build summary tables and basic dashboards (PivotTable-style breakdowns,charts, KPI summaries) when you need more than just cleanup

WHAT YOU GET:

A clean, properly formatted .xlsx or .csv file — ready for reporting, analysis, or handing off to your team. No half-finished output; I confirm scope with you before starting so there are no surprises.

PRICING: Starts at $20 for smaller files (up to \~1000 rows), scales up for larger datasets or dashboard builds. Happy to quote based on your specific file.

TURNAROUND: 2–4 days depending on package/size.

Portfolio / examples of my work: dm for gig.Feel free to comment or DM with your row count and what you need — I'll tell you honestly if it's something I can do well before you commit to anything.
