Presentation of data is tricky. Most people in your audience hate to crunch numbers.

Here are 5 Secrets to make your audience understand your Charts and Graphs better.

A lot of data is available in Excel and most presenters have the habit of ‘Cut-Pasting’ it from there.

Graphs in Excel are created for detailed reporting.

They don’t work in a presentation.

Create specific graphs & charts to support your presentation idea.

Showcase only the data points that are

relevant. Cut out everything else.

Sometimes presenters have a favorite chart type and use it all the time. They forget the basics.

Use the right charts: - Pie chart to represent proportions- Line chart to represent trends- Column or Bar chart to represent ranks under different conditions

Make your point with impact by using the right charts in presentations.

Graphs without a clear focus, take a long time to understand…

Make your key point stand out.

Sometimes in a data presentation, numbers can be cold and intimidating.

Using relevant visuals make your information more inviting.
