Data Visualization 101 - Create Reports to Impress Your Boss

Graphs and charts can condense a million data points onto a single screen or a single piece of paper. They can inform, they can mislead, they can tell a story. What do your reports say about your business?

In this session, we'll go over:

• The pros and cons of 11 different chart types

• Common ways people miss important insights by aggregating data in the wrong way.

• Eight specific things you can do to kill the junk that is obscuring your data

This session is platform agnostic. Your reports can be created with ANY software or libraries (Excel, Infragistics, HighCharts, etc) . It does not matter, all of the information will be applicable to your reports.

Speaker

Jon von Gillern is a former IADNUG leader and consultant from West Des Moines, Iowa. He has been programing for the past 18 years and currently infatuated with d3.js. Come to his session. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll regret not attending.
