Interesting data visualization to quickly understand how a KPI is relatively evolving between different items (split by region in this example). The color coding helps to quickly get the big picture.

Data visualization best-practices
- Per item, display a bar chart
- Use vertical bars and display the KPI value on top of each bar
- Sort the table by period ascending
- When applicable, add symbols or lines to represent possible references: Previous Year, Budget, Forecast…
- Apply color coding to the bar based on the variance between the Actual value and the selected Reference
- Above each period, display the growth rate compared to previous period (+ color coding to indicate whether is growth is positive or negative)
- Allow the user to select which reference must be used for color coding
- Allow the user to dynamically select the KPI he wants to analyze (for instance moving from a Revenue analysis to a Gross Margin analysis)
- Allow the user to change the periodicity of the visualization: Year, Semester, Quarter, Month, Week, Date
- Allow the user to select whether the performance must be shown in Month-To-Date or Year-To-Date
- Allow the user to select the analytical axis by which he wants to split the performance evolution
