Overview of the webinar

"Every Picture Tells a Story" is a popular saying which is true not only in everyday life but in Excel too. Behind your set of numerical data is a story waiting to be told. The telling of this story needs to be to-the-point, easy to understand and engaging.

Data visualization is the representation of numerical data in a visual format so that your audience can quickly and easily understand it and gain insight from it.

This training will cover one area of data visualization in Excel - Charts. You will learn how to create, enhance and customize charts from your Excel data. We will start with traditional charts such as bar charts and line charts, before moving on to more complex and modern charts such as combo charts, Sparkline charts and The People Graph.
