Data Visualizations are critical for turning data analytics into data insights for businesses. Visualizations power insights and drive actions from data analytics. The key is to remember that it’s less about the actual data analysis and more about the story that the data tells - visualizations power that story.

This course explores how to display your data analysis results using data visualizations.  You will learn how to use Excel to format data results and create different types of visualizations based on what type of data and analysis you are displaying.  We’ll also discuss other data visualization tools. 

You will learn to create dashboards that encompass multiple data visualizations and do multiple hands-on exercises to understand what the best visualization is for your own analysis results.  You will practice in displaying time series data and trends.  In addition, we will discuss how to present your findings using visualizations and how to use those visualizations to create action items. 

After this class you will have a solid understanding of the different visualizations that are available for you to use and when each is applicable.  All the concepts are explained in an easy-to-understand style with many hands-on exercises and discussions on best practices and practical usage. 

 

This course is a must for any analyst who wants to learn more about creating impactful visualizations that will allow leaders to draw insights from data analytics.
