Appeal to Your Audience: Tips for Efficient Communication

Create reporting dashboards with the user in mind. Understand what they want to see. Are they interested in sales figures or insights to improve productivity? Focus on their needs.

Communicating data effectively is crucial. Use clear language and compelling visuals to emphasize the most important points. Tailor your reports to your audience’s technical proficiency and organizational objectives.

Simplify Your Life: Avoid Overthinking!

“Less is more” applies to dashboard design too. A cluttered dashboard may mean you’re including too many reports, making it hard to glean insights from the data. Pare down to improve readability.

Streamline your reports to focus on just the most crucial information. Make the most of your data by combining multiple sets into a single report, utilizing the power of stacked bar charts. Keep your dashboard clear and concise, displaying important data upfront and avoiding the need for tedious scrolling.

Experiment with Various Types of Charts

Experiment with presenting your data in different ways. Flip between bar, pie, and other types of charts to find the one that tells the story the best. When building a new dashboard for your organization, get some input. Ask those who will review the reports which chart type works best for them.

Get to Know Power Query

Save Time and Develop Insightful Reports with Power Query – the Ultimate Data Preparation Engine! Used in Microsoft Power BI and Excel Tools.

Take time to learn how to leverage this tool for help with:

  • Connecting a wide range of data sources to the dashboard
  • Previewing data queries
  • Building intuitive queries over many data sources
  • Defining data size, variety, and velocity

Create Detailed Maps with Bing Tips!

Transform your Geo-coding with ease! Bing and Power BI come together in a powerful integration, enabling you to seamlessly harness the considerable mapping ability of Bing and its default coordinates using best practices.

Name your columns after the geographic designation when plotting cities on a map. Doing so helps Bing accurately identify your map query.

Make it Clear: Identify What You’re Seeing

Do your executives get confused when presented with new reports? Cut through the confusion by adding context to your data with tooltips and text boxes. Make it clear what the data means and impress your audience with your presentation skills.

Save time and avoid confusion by providing context. A brief explanation can help someone make quicker decisions and prevent data misunderstandings. Just a few sentences could save them 5-10 minutes of frustration.

Master the Art of Emphasis

Maximize the impact of your reports by placing the most important chart in the top left corner, where readers’ eyes naturally start. Arrange succeeding reports in order of significance to ensure their attention is captured. Remember, left to right and top to bottom is how people read.

Make Your Numbers Stand Out with Bold and Large Fonts to Ensure Key Takeaways are Understood by Your Audience.

Boost Your Data’s Visual Appeal with Color-Coded Emphasis! Highlight High, Mid, and Low levels of Accidents with Easy-to-Distinguish Colors – Green, Yellow, and Red, respectively. With This Simple Addition, Add More Meaningful Context to Your Data!
