A Word Cloud in Tableau is a visual representation of text data where the size of each word reflects its frequency or importance, making it easy to identify the most common or influential terms within a dataset at a glance.
- Highlights frequently occurring words
- Uses text size to show importance
- Helps analyse unstructured text data
- Quickly reveals key themes
- Useful for reviews, feedback and social media analysis
Implementation
Steps to illustrate Word Chart in Tableau:
- Open the Tableau tool and connect a dataset to it.
- Drag and drop the one sheet of the connected dataset.
- Click on Sheet1 to open the Tableau worksheet.
- On clicking Sheet1, you will get the whole dataset attributes on the left side and a worksheet for work.
- To draw a word cloud you have to select minimum one attributes by drag and drop into the sheet area then apply the other parameters for better visualization.
Example 1
In this example, we simply illustrate a word cloud and apply an attribute by size on it.
Example 2
This example uses the above example with some extra marks (apply the filter and color marks) and which are shown easily below.
Example 3
This example is similar to example 1 but uses different fields and visualization features with more clarification of the whole procedure.
