-: Hey everybody, so this week we're gonna talk about
selecting the right chart, that's the whole focus.
How do you pick the right visualization
for the data that you have, for the tasks you're trying
to enable your audience to perform?
And what's crazy is that almost nobody is taught this.
Data analysts aren't taught this,
scientists aren't taught this,
MBAs aren't taught this, and by the way,
those are the three groups of people
who occasionally are taught this,
but nobody else has ever taught it,
and even most of those people,
most data analysts aren't taught how to pick charts.
Makes no sense, because different charts
do different things.
You have to be very thoughtful
when picking the chart for your data.
So that's the focus of this week,
we're gonna talk a lot about it
from a lot of different directions, so let's get to it.
