00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,650
Welcome to the cause on Excel charts.

2
00:00:03,790 --> 00:00:06,850
This course is created with two purposes.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:13,090
Firstly eating the students about all the charting and graphing features of excel.

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,840
And secondly training the students to create meaningful and informative charts.

5
00:00:21,010 --> 00:00:25,610
A lot of people feel that creating a chart is a daunting task.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,760
We will be starting with the basics and within minutes you'll be creating your first chart.

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,470
While we'll be covering all the types of charts and all aspects of charts in the Excel simultaneously

8
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:42,740
you'll be finding lectures on graphing best practices.

9
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:50,890
That is first you learn how to draw a graph and then you will learn how you should draw a graph.

10
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:52,580
We have all seen bad graphs.

11
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:55,500
Maybe we have created some too.

12
00:00:55,660 --> 00:00:58,540
Then we have more information or data.

13
00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:04,050
We tend to dump that information into a graphic without thinking too much about it.

14
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,530
Such a graphic fails to be informative at all.

15
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:11,340
The lesson we are communicating through this course is simple.

16
00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:17,680
Your chart should convey a message in the most clear and effective manner.

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Other courses and books will also teach you all the tools available in Excel.

18
00:01:22,210 --> 00:01:29,010
But to draw a graph that captures your audience's attention is rarely discussed.

19
00:01:29,110 --> 00:01:34,960
So this course will enable you to move from simply showing data to one who makes up a point with the

20
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,980
data.

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,770
Take note that this is not a cause for beginning Excel users.

22
00:01:41,770 --> 00:01:44,560
If you have absolutely no experience with Excel.

23
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:51,940
Check out other goals close Excel master class for which the link is shared in the description.

24
00:01:52,390 --> 00:01:58,810
Let me take a moment to introduce you to the authors of the course the course is created by two of us.

25
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,410
I am shape and my colleague is Paul Crouch as managers in global consulting firm.

26
00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:07,510
We have experience in working on several data analysis software.

27
00:02:08,410 --> 00:02:15,400
We encountered a lot of hit and run presentations and bags later and realized that data visualization

28
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:22,450
is as important a topic as data analysis thereby creating this course.

29
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:30,810
Lastly I would like to acknowledge that as you might have noticed there is a regional accent in my speech.

30
00:02:30,910 --> 00:02:36,380
We have a lot of international students and few of them face difficulty initially in getting used to

31
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:36,550
it.

32
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,080
But with patience I assure you that you will definitely learn some amazing charting techniques and tips

33
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,590
from our course.

34
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:48,100
So we are ready to learn.

35
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:50,610
We are happy to have you and see you in the next video.
