The DataHero Blog

Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Braintree, the leading online payments platform. Now you can dig deeper into your transactional data with DataHero and analyze transactions over time, easily visualize revenue by credit card, customer or status, and chart your revenue by location. DataHero automatically categorizes your data, analyzes it for patterns, and suggests the most relevant charts to you.

By connecting DataHero to your Braintree account you can answer questions like:

 

• How does my revenue change depending on the day of the week?
• Which companies contribute the most to my revenue?
• Which states are my transactions coming from?

After you’ve signed up for your free DataHero account, connect DataHero to your Braintree account then import the Transactions reports to get started. Here are a few examples of the questions you can explore.

Step 4: Under the Date attribute, click the dropdown and select “Day of Week”

DataHero automatically creates the best chart for you based on patterns in your data, in this case a column chart. Now you can easily compare transactions by day of the week.
