Best chart to show multiple measures

Hi there,

 

I am trying to figure out how best to represent the following data points in a single chart.

 

- number of databases by application

- size of data by application

 

For example, 10 out of 3000 databases repreent about 33% of the total datasize in my environment. Any suggestions on which chart to best reflect this?

 

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend a scatter chart to show the relationship between two measures in the way you're describing. That's not a custom visual, though (sorry!)

It might be worth looking at the Treemap visualisation. Your example is exactly the kind of situation it was designed to represent.

Pie charts may be useful..

I have pie charts now but two of them (one showing data size by application, the other showing database count by application)..i'm looking for a single chart (maybe even using the new visuals!) that will show this data.
