My tip: Before I publish any report, I ask someone who knows nothing about the information being presented to give feedback. If it takes them longer than five mins to understand anything then I reevaluate my design

If someone want to confuse his boss then work alternatively. If further confusion is required then use secondary axis and remove the labels. If you want to show no differences then don't change origin, otherwise change. Good tips for dealing abusive bosses.

Axis braking: This is an excelent example for the influence the chart designer has on the viewer. You want to tell the story that nothing changed? Don't break the axis. You want to make them belive that there was a radical change / high volatility? Beak it ;-)

Thank you Leila! For rule number 3, it is very important not to write numbers with a font size too small indeed but rather than write vertically, I prefer to format my numbers in thousands for example and always write them horizontally because it is our normal reading direction.

Thanks once again Leila, Nice to have study data to back up what we have been trying to impress on people for years. Especially like the NO 3D...nearly 50% slower comprehension. Probably even more for 3D Pie Charts. Be great if your Uni sends the results of the study to Microsoft for their Excel and Power BI development teams...

Great info overall. If I may offer some feedback, your #4 tip is very vague, uses unusual wording (don’t break the axis?), and the 5 second comparison doesn’t highlight the difference. I think the takeaway is to scale the axis with the data to ensure the graph visually highlights the information and pertinent trends. Ie, doesn’t always have to start with 0.

Hi Liela Thank you so much for your videos - you were the first person I started watching on youtube to do with excel and I've not stopped yet :) Anyway this is just an idea please - I wasn't taught about variance at at school and wondered if you could create an video please about how to build a table and/or graph which best covers this for multiple area. At work I various processes running on many PCs and I would like to create a variance graph that shows variances to do with how showing which PCs take the longest to run the different processes. That way I can inform the customer for those PCs to be checked out for example to perform PC health checks on them. Anyway I hope you find this challenge interesting and can cover this please for us IT Support people :)

As usual crisp, informative and comprehensive. History of graphs was the icing on the cake.

Leila - thanks for the video - very interesting! Regarding tip #4, I may be misunderstanding your recommendation, but I generally do start a bar graph with 0 on the y axis, otherwise it can be misleading about the relative difference between the bars. Just my 2 cents!

@LeilaGharani

Hello Leila, great stuff as usual. On DONT BREAK THE AXIS, kindly expand. Are we you start from ZERO or another figure that then allows for a higher degree of accuracy if one had to guess the values (supposing they are no data labels).

Leila, this critique is something my mechanical engineering professors had a pet peeve about. I also developed and adopted the same frustration in the field of manufacturings engineering. Units!!!! I cannot count the number of charts where people, engineers, accounting, sales, and all other department present charts with absolutely no units, just numbers. Ridiculous😡. I’ve seen 3 decades of presentations with four or five charts per presentation and none had units. In your future tip email please add tip to include units to the chart Bar or as text in a note box

Fascinating stuff. Trying to get my skill levels up in Power BI and some of the visualisations being bandied around the analytics world these days are just beyond baffling. I think all the analytics package providers would do well to subject their "fancy" outputs to your study - I bet I could guess the results?
