A Word Cloud chart is one of the easiest ways to get someone started on data visualization is to introduce them to word clouds (it also demonstrates neatly how not all data is numerical).
Word Cloud charts generate 'word clouds' from the text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.
Creating word cloud charts
1. On the toolbar, select + New Page from the Pages drop down, or on the Filters and Settings pane, select the Pages tabbed page and then click the + icon to create a new page.
2. Click
the 
icon in the chart area
and then select the Advanced tabbed page.
3. Select
the Word Cloud chart type or click the
icon at the top right corner of
the chart area and then select Word Cloud
to create a Word Cloud chart.
4. From the Dimensions pane, specify a wordcloudDim for the Word Cloud chart.
5. Specify a Measure for your chart.
Optionally, specify a Page Dimension for your chart.
6. In the Filters and Settings pane, select any of the following:
▪ Filters tabbed page to browse the chart dimensions using the Dimensions Browser.
▪ Pages to view all pages in the current report as thumbnails.
