(Chris Weber) I got a call from a client last month whose in-house Access programmer had created a multi-page report chock-full of pie charts created in Microsoft Graph. The concept behind the report was to give their customers a quick visual summary of the day-to-day services being provided by my client: page after page of pie charts and accompanying tables that told the whole picture. Now, pie charts can be a very useful tool for the visual display of data... or not. When properly designed and presented, a pie chart can quickly summarize what's happening in the data. But poorly designed pie charts, like any poorly designed display, merely cloud the issue. |
