In this session, I’ll share my simple, step-by-step method for selecting the correct type of chart, setting it up and making it look great. As we’ll see, different Excel charts work in different situations and knowing which chart is best for the job is half the struggle. We’ll simplify the process of ‘beautifying’ a chart by understanding what the main options are and how to implement them.

You’ll be creating beautiful Excel charts in no time – adding visual impact to your data analysis work in Excel and impressing your boss/colleagues in the process. Welcome back to 30-Day Excel Analyst!
