- Stacked bar
- Stacked column
-
Understand how the data is distributed:
- Scatter plot
- Line chart
- Bar chart
-
Analyze trends:
- Line chart
- Bar chart
-
Comprehend the relationship between data sets:
- Line chart
- Scatter plot
- Bubble chart
3. Too many data
copy paste data <> organize info
4. Lack of a consistent visual 'language'
4. Context (use a clear legend)
