In this case, the census data has defined the Gender value for female as "2." The field "ESTBASE2010" contains estimated population values.ĭrag the calculated fields you created to the Columns shelf and the Gender field to the Color shelf. For this example, enter Female Population.Įnter a formula similar to the following to isolate the female constituent from population: Similar to the step 5, select Analysis > Create a Calculated Field, and then do the following:Įnter a name for the calculation. In this case, the census data has defined the Gender value for male as "1." The field "ESTBASE2010" contains estimated population values. For this example, enter Male Population.Įnter a formula similar to the following to isolate the male constituent from population: Select Analysis > Create a Calculated Field, and then do the following:Įnter a name for the calculation. This means that the age cohorts are defined by increments of 10 years.ĭrag the bin you just created to the Rows shelf. In the Create Bins dialog box, enter a bin size based on the age groups you're interested in focusing on, and then click OK. In the Data pane, right-click the Age field and select Create > Bins.

Download and open the following workbook from Tableau Public. To create a bin and divide a measure into two groups. To create a population pyramid using Tableau, first separate the population (measure) into two groups, females and males, and then create "bins" for the age cohorts you want to represent in the population pyramid.įor example, suppose you are working with a table from the United States Census Bureau that contains population, gender, and age data. If you have any comments about their usability, we'd be glad to hear.A population pyramid, also known as an age structure diagram, shows the distribution of various age groups in a population.Ī common distribution often used with this type of visualization is female and male populations by age. While our infographics are not validated decision aids that have been extensively tested on clinicians or patients, we want them to be useful to readers in summarising recommendations or evidence. Rare conditions/complications/etc will sometimes be excluded. The graphics are often a summary of a summary - they shouldn't be taken to be the whole of the information available on the subject. However, because of their innovative nature, we add disclaimers to them, to remind our readers that the information contained should be treated with the same caution as written articles. At the time of going to press, we make every effort to ensure that the information held in them is up-to-date. We hope that you find them quick and easy to use, and that they also help you to remember the information they contain.īMJ infographics are reviewed by the authors, our technical and section editors and with some the peer reviewers before publication, and we're confident that they are accurate representations of the article. We know that you, our readers, are increasingly time-pressured, so we aim for them to include some carefully selected information from an article, highlighting the key messages. Our infographics are a new initiative at The BMJ.
