How to make a timeline-circle chart?
Hi there. I need to make a timeline-based chart with circles and didn't manage to find a solution.
There are 3 categories and each one has a score from 1 to 10 which should be displayed as a circle, and the bigger the score, the bigger the circle should be. Also there are days when they was measured. I need to show all these categories together at the time interval and didn't manage to find a solution. At first i though about using Scatter Plot, but it supports only 1 category and i need 3. Then i tried to use linear chart - it works fine, but there isn't an option to increase the size of a dot. Also searched for custom visuals but found nothing.
There is a video of what i need to implement in Tableau - it's exactly what i need, but don't know how to do it.
Test data:
How it shold be:
Will be glad if someone will help, good day anyway.
My decision was the next one: I changed my data table to the next format and then pasted it into the Scatter plot (Days to X, ValueKey to Y and Score to values). Although I need Value column in Y axis it doesn't work with categorical values, so instead I used created numerical ValueKey column, hid the humbers and passed the table visual with names left to it - not the prefect solution but it works.
