Your BaseTao spreadsheet is a goldmine of information. Moving beyond raw numbers to clear visuals is key to understanding your real spending, shipping efficiency, and agent performance. This guide will show you how to transform that data into actionable graphs and tables.
Why Visualize Your BaseTao Data?
Scrolling through rows of items, costs, and weights makes it difficult to spot trends. Data visualization helps you:
- See the Big Picture:
- Identify Trends:
- Make Data-Driven Decisions:
Key Metrics to Analyze from Your Spreadsheet
1. Total Order Value & Composition
Goal:

- Group items by category (e.g., Apparel, Footwear, Electronics).
- Sum the item costs and domestic shipping for each category.
- The chart reveals your spending distribution at a glance.
Sample Summary Table:
| Category | Item Count | Total Cost (¥) | % of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoes | 5 | 1,250 | 41% |
| Jackets | 3 | 800 | 26% |
| T-Shirts | 8 | 480 | 16% |
| Accessories | 4 | 520 | 17% |
| TOTAL | 20 | 3,050 | 100% |
2. Average QC Approval Rate & Agent Performance
Goal:

- Calculate the percentage of items approved per order (Green QC status vs. Red/Yellow).
- Track this rate monthly to see if it improves or declines.
- Compare average rates between different sellers or product batches.
3. Monthly Cost & Weight Patterns
Goal:
How to Visualize:dual-axis line chart
- Sum your total item costs and total parcel weights for each month.
- Plot both lines on the same chart (cost on one axis, weight on the other).
- This reveals correlations—e.g., does higher cost always mean higher weight?
- Identify your high-spend/high-ship months for better budgeting.
