Information visualization is a language. Like any language, it can
be used for multiple purposes. A poem, a novel, and an essay all
share the same language, but each one has its own set of rules. The
same is true with information visualization: a product manager,
statistician, and graphic designer each approach visualization from
different perspectives. Data at Work was written with you, the
spreadsheet user, in mind. This book will teach you how to think
about and organize data in ways that directly relate to your work,
using the skills you already have. In other words, you don't need
to be a graphic designer to create functional, elegant charts: this
book will show you how. Although all of the examples in this book
were created in Microsoft Excel, this is not a book about how to
use Excel. Data at Work will help you to know which type of chart
to use and how to format it, regardless of which spreadsheet
application you use and whether or not you have any design
experience. In this book, you'll learn how to extract, clean, and
transform data; sort data points to identify patterns and detect
outliers; and understand how and when to use a variety of data
visualizations including bar charts, slope charts, strip charts,
scatter plots, bubble charts, boxplots, and more. Because this book
is not a manual, it never specifies the steps required to make a
chart, but the relevant charts will be available online for you to
download, with brief explanations of how they were created.
