Data Visualization is a key element to the utilization of data in business. There isn’t a data set in the world that can’t benefit from some form of visualization. You’ll learn how to work with data and make it easy to understand.
Data Visualization is more than just creating fancy charts. As humans we struggle to extrapolate complex data into “digestible” information. Putting data into a visual format can reveal insights you’ll never get from staring at a spreadsheet.
