Visualisation for multi layered qualitative data

Hi all. I am facing extreme difficulty in producing a visualization for my need. My requirements are: 1. My filters are by college and by field of research code 2. the user needs to select the college and then the relevant field of research code 3. A list of parent indicators appears under that field of research code 4. When the user selects a parent indicator, it drills through further to a list of indicators 5. when the user selects that indicator, it displays examples under that indicator. So my data is very qualitative and layered and currently I am using a treemap visual and I have tried using card/multi level row card, but it is just not working. Can someone please provide some insights?

Hi @sseth ,

 

First, you can create a martix visual, which visualizes the hierarchical structure between data. Then use the Treemap Bar Chart to create a view of the hierarchy. The slicer can represent the changes in the different hierarchies.

Hi @v-henryk-mstf I have used the zoomchart pie chart drill visualisation for now which serves my purpose. Thank you for the reply.

Hi @sseth,

 

My suggestion is that you use a donut or pie as your visual of choice and add the fields in the required heirarchy like College->Research->Indicator. That way every time you click on a sector it will drill down one level.
