Data visualization seems to always be a hot topic. A number of large players (SAP, IBM, Oracle, etc) have taken advantage of Sr. Management's need to have the ability to "visualize" data at all times by creating (expensive and clunky) packages like BO, Cognos, Hyperion, etc. But at best these packages collate data and create a MIS (with fancy 3D charts, colors, funnels, etc) in real time. Their data visualization capabilities are at best non-existent.
I am looking for tools that will help me in real data visualization - essentially transforming the massive rows and columns of data into visuals from which I can draw meaningful conclusions quickly and simply.
A few tools do this well - Tableau Software - seems to be one. And Microsoft Excel can by itself be a potent tool; but in the right hands (need to know VBA, macros, complex functions, etc). For a good tutorial on this, please see Jorge Camoes' Charts.
Any other tools out there???
