EPISODE 17
which graph should I use?
It sounds simple, yet it’s a question many people grapple with: how do I best visualize my data? In this episode, Cole reviews the most common types of graphs used in a business setting and discusses use cases and considerations. Tune in also to hear Cole address listener questions on visualizing survey results, Tableau vs. PowerBI and how to influence a client who wants default graphs rather than a data-driven story.
