Benefits & pitfalls

Benefits & pitfalls: line chart

  • Line-charts imply that data is continuously changing. If your data is discrete you might consider a bar-chart instead.

How to create your own

Create your own: combination chart

  • Some combination charts, such as bar and line charts, can be created in standard applications such as Excel (using more than one axis). Others can be combined by saving visualisations as image files and combining in an image editor.

Create your own: deviation bar graph

  • A deviation bar graph is a bar-chart with axis set to some baseline value (to show the deviation of values from the baseline), and can be created in a range of standard data applications such as Excel.
