Ordinal Scale

An ordinal scale is a type of scale used in charts and graphs to represent categorical data with a clear, ordered relationship between the categories. Unlike numeric scales, ordinal scales do not quantify differences between the categories; they simply indicate the order.

Best Practices for Using a Date Time Scale

Clear Labels
Ensure that each category is clearly labeled to avoid confusion.
Logical Order
Arrange the categories in a logical and meaningful order based on the data.
Avoid Overcrowding
Do not add too many categories to the scale as it may become overcrowded, instead consider grouping categories into larger ones.
