You, as the analyst, draw the line between pursuation and manipulation by controling the range of the y axis. It's very important to carefully consider the viewer and what the neutral way to present the data is. #Charts #Presentation #Viz #PPT #Excel #Graph #Consulting #Mckinsey #Bain #BCG #Vizualization #Slides #Chart #Graphs #Deck #GoogleSlides #BarChart #Education #Data

It's very common to see bar charts which don't start at 0, especially on the news or research. These can warp your view of the data at initial glance. If you're the analyst, make sure the y axis starts at 0 for a fair comparison between bars. #Charts #Presentation #Viz #PPT #Excel #Graph #Consulting #Mckinsey #Bain #BCG #Vizualization #Slides #Chart #Graphs #Deck #GoogleSlides #BarChart #Education #Data #Elections #News

Stacked Bar Charts are commonly used to visualize a Likert scale. One trick to use is to anchor the data so that you have left: Strongly disagree, Disagree... and to the right: Agree, Strongly agree. This makes it easier for your viewer to understand to overall message a lot easier than carefully tracking down the area of each sub bar. However, if you have a "neutral" category, shifting the bars such that the center line go through the middle of the group isn't the best strategy as that group is in neither bucket. Either don't shift the bars at all, or represent the neutral group in its own chart next to one with just the other categories. #Charts #Presentation #Viz #PPT #Excel #Graph #Consulting #Mckinsey #Bain #BCG #Vizualization #Slides #Chart #Graphs #Deck #GoogleSlides #StackedBarChart #BarChart #Education #Data #Anchoring #Likert
