Beyond Bar Charts: Advanced Excel Charting Techniques for Business Insights

"Beyond Bar Charts" is a hands-on training session that takes your Excel charting skills from functional to fantastic. It’s not about knowing every menu option—it’s about using the right chart at the right time to deliver insights that matter.

Participants will learn how to create combination charts (e.g., budget vs actual with bar and line), use dual axes without confusion, apply custom data labels, and introduce smart formatting techniques that enhance clarity. We’ll also look at how to use chart elements intentionally: choosing the right markers, adjusting scales, and using layout features to keep things readable and relevant.

The session is rich with examples from real-world business reporting and includes best practices for storytelling with data. By the end, you’ll be equipped to make charts that don’t just display data—they drive understanding.
