Comparative Bar

Introduction

Comparative Bar is a visualization feature in the BI dashboard that enables users to compare responses across multiple questions—either from the same survey or across different surveys. It uses side-by-side bar charts to visually present differences in data, making comparisons intuitive and easy to interpret.

This feature is particularly useful for tracking changes over time, analyzing performance across regions or demographics, or comparing benchmarks between surveys. Whether you're looking to monitor trend shifts or validate consistency, the Comparative Bar offers a straightforward way to analyze multiple datasets in one view.

Core Functionality

Multi-Survey Comparison: Easily compare the same question across different surveys. This is ideal for longitudinal studies or benchmarking exercises.
Same-Survey Multi-Question Comparison: Use Comparative Bar to view and compare different but related questions from a single survey side by side.
Visual Simplicity: Bars are aligned and color-coded for clear visual distinction, making insights accessible at a glance.

Common Tasks:

Compare Net Promoter Scores (NPS) across two waves of research.
Contrast satisfaction scores across different regions or demographics.
Track changes in key metrics between two time points.
