Data Analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to depict and demonstrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data. The purposes of data analysis are discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and making better decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches among which data visualization is very effective and popular. Data visualization means information that has been abstracted in some schematic forms, such as pie, column, bar or doughnut charts, including attributes or variables for the units of information.
A primary goal of data visualization is to convey information clearly and efficiently to viewers via the infographics selected, such as tables and charts. Effective visualization helps users in analyzing and reasoning about data and evidence. It makes complicated data more accessible, understandable and usable, especially for visual learners. Well-crafted data visualization helps uncover trends, realize insights, explore sources, and tell stories.

Users may have different analytical tasks, such as making comparisons or understanding causality, and the design principle of the charts or graphs follows the task. Tables are generally used where users will look-up a specific measure of a variable, while charts of various types are used to show patterns or relationships in the data for one or more variables.
There are many kinds of graphs, charts or diagrams that can visualize ideas and explain numbers in an easy to understand way. Here are some examples for your reference, with some tips about how to use them.
