End of the Year Charting Tricks:

  • Avoiding over labeling – getting more out of your data visualizations by doing less
  • Defaulting your charts – how to set your formatting once and reuse it throughout your PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Excel models (one of the most underappreciated features of PowerPoint)
  • Flipping your charts – don’t waste time rebuilding it in Excel, just flip your chart or filter it in PowerPoint
    Creating totals on top of stacked column charts – your first step towards advanced charting techniques to build more accurate visualizations.

End of the Year Table Tricks:

  • Creating Excel formatting within PowerPoint (double underlines within a cell and the accounting style formatting)
  • Overcoming the 3 Phantom Spacing Menaces – the three invisible factors that affect how far you can customize your tables
  • Boxing up your tables for rock solid layouts and why this works better.
