Previously we saw how to build D3js Analog clock on the dashboard

In the same note, we dig deeper and now take our data from database tables and visualize into pretty bubbles.

Here is how the tabular data looks like

Brazil 5,197.89
Argentina 702.69
France 1,025,156.84
Germany 2,604,893.08
Saudi Arabia 628.89
Denmark 598,323.01
Singapore 909,996.22

And this is what we get the final result as

Here are the steps to produce this kind of visualizations. In D3js it is called the bubble pack layout. Leaving the technicals of d3js aside we will follow the simple steps to get the beautiful bubbles.

If you hover your mouse you can see details of the numbers associated with each bubble.

Data Source: We used the following Excel file as our data source. sales_data_excel_file

1. We upload the data to our personal cloud warehouse using this method

2. We use the below SQL to get summary data

select country_name,sum(amount_sold) total_amount
from sales_data
group by country_name

3. We drag the custom draw widget

4. In the data source we select personal cloud and add the following SQL

5. In the javascript section we copy paste the following javascript file.

Bubble pack javascript with new tool tips (version 3)

Bubble pack javascript d3js code

6. Click OK and you will see the bubbles. That is it!

NOTES:

1. Just make sure whatever data you want to visualize, the first column is the category or the dimension value.

2. The second column should be the numeric or the metrics.

3. You can have more columns in your SQL but only the first two columns will be considered.
