Amazing video! I'm a data scientist, and I wanted to improve my skills with EDA. For the data visualization part, this video is a great summary of graph types and their uses. I’ve saved it and will probably use it frequently.

Hey I visited your channel again today to see what u guys were up to and learn more about slide building but when I saw that you last posted a video 4 months back, I genuinely got sad and thought u stopped pushing at YouTube but seeing this in the evening you post a fresh video got me excited and happy again ❤

[josepharoh]

Thank you, I'm a web designer and I'm currently designing a dashboard with analytics for a client so i wanted fo learn the nest ways to display data.

Great and entertaining lecture Paul. Thanks.

Hi Paul, thank you so much! I really love your video. I just randomly checked your YouTube channel to brush up on making good presentations and, luckily, I came across this newest video

[MrClarkeyboy]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I was going to make a document that stated the different types of charts, when to use them, benefits, drawbacks so thanks to you I can refer back to this instead!

[AnkurKumarSrivastava-jb]

Keep posting your videos regularly. They are extremely helpful and logical. A video on use of "Slide Master" and creating a template from scratch would be really helpful. Looking forward to it.

[vinspad]

Lots of hot takes here. But glad to be introduced to new chart ideas!

[Qaharman]

Very interesting video. Thx. Pls keep doing this.

[billgillaspey]

[karthikasrinivasan]

Hello Sir, can you please teach how to create different types of charts like Waterfall chart using stacked bar, combo charts like bar with scatter chart, marimekko chart....

[lineofdeparture]

After having learned how to viz data on this channel, i slowly came to the realization that "qualitative content" is even more challenging to me....

What are design principles for showing text heavy slides? " data mgmt principles", " org charts", " introducing a definition of a term", doing a proper mgmt summary...

Those i find even tougher now. Anything on this on analyst academy?

Hi, I would like to get a comprehensive course on your powerpoint presentation techniques.

Mostly good advice I think but I also think you're wrong on your categorization for PIe/Donut charts. When used right they can be useful if not flashy. Also, I have successfully used a ribbon chart in a previous BI report so I don't agree that its not useful. It can be, you just have to manage the categories. We found it a good way to trend survey response categorization scores month over month.f
