It's one thing to know how to build a report or dashboard in Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, etc., but it’s another to know which chart types to use under different circumstances, how to make it look good and most importantly, how to make it easy for people to consume the information.

Why choose a line chart over a bar chart?
What is a bullet chart and when to use it?
What colours should you use and where and why?

These and other important questions are addressed during this technology independent one-day course.
