Recipe Objective - What are Hexbin Charts in Tableau? Explain with the help of an example

The Hexbin charts in tableau are based on the geospatial objects in which hexagons represent all the map regions. The chart also refers to the way of the utilization of 2D density techniques. The graphic area of the chart is totally divided into a multitude of hexagons, and no. of data points are counted and represented using the color gradient. The chart only requires a list of Longitude and Latitude.

Getting Started with Image Segmentation using Mask R-CNN

Steps to create Hexbin chart.

Step 1 > Connect the "world_country_and_usa_states_latitude_and_longitude_values.xlsx" data set.

Step 2 > Create Ratio parameter by right-clicking on dimension area and clicking on create parameter.

Step 3 > Create "Hex Latitude" using HEXBINY([Latitude]*[Ratio],[Longitude]*[Ratio]) calculation.

Step 4 > Create "Hex Longitude" using HEXBINX([Latitude]*[Ratio],[Longitude]*[Ratio]) calculation.

Step 5 > Uncheck "Aggregate Measures" under the Analysis header section.

Step 6 > Drag the "Hex Longitude" measure and drop it onto the column shelf.

Step 7 > Drag the "Hex Latitude" measure and drop it onto the row shelf.

Step 8 > Select Square on Marks card.

Step 9 > Drop "USA State" dimension in color and select Count Distinct of measure.

Our Hexbin Chart is Ready!
