A solution that displays ranked categories of data in a Venn diagram is provided. In particular, entries of data are assigned to one of a plurality of categories based on one or more attributes of the entries. The categories are then ranked for each of one or more criteria. Each criterion can use a unique set of the attributes to rank the categories. A Venn diagram is generated that includes a circle for each criterion and displays the rankings of the various categories using one or more visual representations of each category. For example, the rankings can be displayed using tag clouds for each category that are placed in each circle. Two or more circles can overlap in which case categories that have one or more entries that meet all the corresponding criteria can be displayed in the overlapping portion of the circles.
