Overview

Description

Data at Work will help students to know which type of chart to use and how to format it, regardless of which spreadsheet application they use and whether or not they have any design experience. In this book, they’ll learn how to extract, clean, and transform data; sort data points to identify patterns and detect outliers; and understand how and when to use a variety of data visualizations including bar charts, slope charts, strip charts, scatterplots, bubble charts, boxplots, and more. Because this book is not a manual, it never specifies the steps required to make a chart, but the relevant charts will be available online for students to download, with brief explanations of how they were created.

Features

• A frank, practical guide to data visualization fundamentals–no design experience required

• Shows students how to use the skills they already have to think about and organize data in ways that directly relate to their work

• The principles taught are tool-agnostic and can be applied regardless of the tool used to create the information graphics

• Students get access to downloadable Excel charts featured in the book with step-by-step instructions on how the charts were created

• Author Jorge Camões runs ExcelCharts.com, a popular blog on how to create charts in Excel that gets 30,000 monthly visitors
