Yet Another Market Basket Analysis in Tableau

This video represents part two in my Market Basket Analysis series.

The steps in the post were inspired by the book Tableau Unlimited written by former co-worker of mine, Chandraish Sinha. I wasn’t planning to construct another market basket analysis video but when I saw the approach outlined in his book, I felt like it warranted sharing with my readers and followers.

In this version we’ll use default Tableau Superstore data to show the relationship between sub-categories on an Order; all without using a self table join. The visualization and analysis is driven by a user selection parameter.

Once the user selects a sub-category, the bar chart visualization updates to reflect the number of associated sub-category items on the same order.

Sample Superstore Data 2

Watch the video and as always get out there and do some great things with your data!

Feel free to also check out Part 1 here where we create a simpler correlation matrix version that shows all the sub-category relationships in one visual.

  1. really cool, but how do you find the customers not adding the second product in your current example? I’m looking for a prospect list.

  2. Good stuff! I would keep the N/A (selected cat) as I would also like to gauge relative to cat in question. Really liked how you used the colors to distinguish the profit ratio of each attachment.
