We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. Because data can tell so many stories, a chart can be worth thousands of data points. Utilizing charts can often be the best method to express or discover the meaning of the data.
Often a chart is the easiest way to present data. Be it basic bars or a complex cartogram, the use of charts make data more digestible and presentable. Data visualizations within dashboards like Tableau can pull up-to-the-minute information from multiple datasets making these powerful storytellers more accessible.
