How To..., Using Displayr

Calculate Anything!

Our mission at Displayr is to make it easy for people to find and tell stories with data.

This does not mean however that you can only do simple analysis steps – for the creative or advanced analyst, Displayr allows you to literally calculate anything.

Gone are the days of having separate workings in other apps, like Excel. Calculations built in Displayr can be referenced anywhere, are easily traceable to the source (no one will ever have to “work it out”), and will update whenever the data changes e.g., applying a filter, adjusting the weight, or adding a new wave of tracking data.

This can save you a lot of time. It’s also great for quality control – no need to cut and paste between applications and risk making a mistake. And what’s more, applying calculations in Displayr is both intellectually stimulating and rewarding!

Built-in Calculations

In addition to creating tables and common advanced analysis functions (like clustering, correspondence mapping), Displayr has built-in operations to create simple calculations from variables or tables.

You can read more about these functions here.
