Notes de l'éditeur
Going to be looking at pictures and how they convey information easilySeeing an example of a tool that displays data wellHow to create PivotsNext Steps

Pictures tell a story, they’re evocative.Lots of meaning buried in each pictureShout out to Mark Reale and bnotionsRoom for interpretation leads to ambiguity. Is this last picture a great party or massive clean up?Opposite end of the spectrum is a text table
Most of my data ends up looking like this.It’s dry and doesn’t engage users.No urge to explore further.No one’s ever been moved by a worksheet.It is direct and unambiguous though.We need to merge the two.
