"Every Picture Tells a Story" is a popular saying which is true not only in everyday life but in Excel too. Behind every set of numerical data is a story waiting to be told. The telling of this story needs to be succinct, easy to understand, and engaging. For most people, it's much easier to understand data, uncover important insights and make better decisions if that data is displayed in a visual way.

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 covers how to visually represent your data using traditional charts (bar charts, line charts, etc.)
