AWS Certified Data Analytics – Specialty — Question 94

A retail company has 15 stores across 6 cities in the United States. Once a month, the sales team requests a visualization in Amazon QuickSight that provides the ability to easily identify revenue trends across cities and stores. The visualization also helps identify outliers that need to be examined with further analysis.
Which visual type in QuickSight meets the sales team's requirements?

Answer options

• A. Geospatial chart
• B. Line chart
• C. Heat map
• D. Tree map

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Heat map is the most suitable visual for displaying revenue trends across multiple cities and stores, as it can effectively highlight outliers and variations in data. A Geospatial chart focuses on geographical data but may not clearly represent trends, while a Line chart is better for time-series data and does not emphasize outliers as effectively. A Tree map is useful for hierarchical data representation, but it does not specifically cater to trend analysis across multiple dimensions.
