 Visualize Free

Visualize Free is a free visual analysis tool based on the advanced commercial dashboard and visualization software.

Visualization is a good technique for going through multidimensional data to understand trends in data with simple point-and-click methods.

There are basic three steps to use this tool. They are as follows:

1. Upload

2. Create

3. Analyze

These steps are explained below:

1. Upload

You can upload your own private data.

Datasets can be Excel files (both XLS and XLSX) or text (CSV and tab-delimited TXT). You can also copy and paste your data, as long as it comes in as tab-delimited. Make sure the first row contains the column headers.

 2. Create

You can drag and drop components, and data fields to create an interactive dashboard...
After you create a data set, click New in the last column on the datasets page. After you name your visualization, click Edit to get started.
These example data sets are the ones used in the Visualize Free Documentation.

3. Analyze

You can view a visualization, but the real power comes from interacting with it...
Select your visualization on the datasets page, or on the visualizations page. You can Bookmark interesting views.
You can also share your datasets, visualizations, and bookmarks with others to make analysis a social activity. On the detail page for a visualization, change the mode to Protected and you can email a link to your friends and colleagues. You can also embed your visualization in your blog or intranet.
