Pro Tips
Data Format
Ensure numeric columns in CSV files contain only numbers, avoiding special characters or empty values. For empty values, consider using 0 or other appropriate placeholder values.
Chart Selection
Consider your audience and presentation context when choosing chart types. For example, when using pie charts in formal presentations, limit the number of slices to 7 or fewer for better clarity.
Visual Optimization
Use high-contrast color schemes to ensure your charts are readable across different devices. Utilize white space effectively to prevent overcrowding of chart elements.
