Introduction

C harts are everywhere! In newspapers and magazines, on TV, on roadside billboards, and on your utility bill. Some are gorgeous, and some are dull but functional. Some provide you with useful information, and some pull the wool over your eyes.

Charts have a purpose or two to tell you something useful, and to tell it to you in a way faster than words would. When youre creating a chart, you hope that someone looking at it wont have to take long to figure it out! Let that be a guiding principle in chart design: If it takes too long for someone to figure out what hes looking at, you need to rethink and redesign that chart.

About This Book

This book takes you through the chart-making power of Excel. Charts are an essential part of Excel but perhaps not understood to the degree that number crunching and math are. Often, when someone needs to make a chart, she just opts for a catch-all Line chart or perhaps a Column or Bar chart. Make it a 3-D Column or Bar, and who can complain when they see how beautiful it is? But the fact is that artsy, beautiful charts are not always the best way to present the facts about the data.
