Tutorial<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, we are going to learn about an interesting chart that is a bubble chart or packed bubble chart. Here, we will learn how to create a bubble chart in Tableau in a stepwise manner. You can create your first Tableau bubble chart with us on your own device. All you need, as of now is a sample data set and Tableau software in your device.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Bubble Chart?<\/h3>\n<p>A bubble chart is used to show data in bubbles or circles with varying sizes and according to a color scheme. A bubble chart has the ability to show multiple variables through its design. Dimension field values are represented by individual bubbles and measure field values that define the size and color of the bubble. Thus, we can analyze a plot with at least three variables that is one dimension and two measure fields.<\/p>\n<p>So, a bubble chart or packed bubble chart in Tableau is a simple yet detailed and insightful visual that you can easily learn to create by the steps given in the section below.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Time to visualize your data to the fullest with <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/tableau-bullet-graph\/\">tableau bullet<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How to Create Bubble Chart in Tableau?<\/h2>\n<p>Follow the steps given below to make a packed bubble chart in tableau:<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 1: Add Dimension Field\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To begin with, we add a dimension field, <strong>Category<\/strong> into the <strong>Columns<\/strong> section.<a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73070 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4.png\" alt=\"tableau bubble chart category\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4-150x80.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-dimension-column-4-520x279.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 2: Add Measure Field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, we add a measure field, <strong>Sales<\/strong> and keep its aggregation type as <em>SUM<\/em>.<a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73069 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4.png\" alt=\"tableau bubble chart - measure sales field\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4-150x80.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/add-measure-row-4-520x279.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP 3: Select Packed Bubble Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, we select the <strong>Packed<\/strong> <strong>bubbles<\/strong> option from the visualization pane.
