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.

      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.
