A business analyst needs to create a view that displays the exact sales values for multiple product categories across several years. The main purpose is to present the numbers in a text-based, tabular report for precise data lookup. Which chart type is most suitable for this task?
The correct answer is a Crosstab. A crosstab, also known as a text table, is the most appropriate choice for displaying precise, numerical data in a tabular format (rows and columns). This format is ideal for users who need to look up specific values. A bar chart is better for visually comparing data across categories. A scatter plot is used to show the relationship between two numerical variables. A highlight table is a type of crosstab that uses color to draw attention to high and low values, but the fundamental chart type for displaying text values in a grid is the crosstab.
