Uncover the insights from this busy bar chart!

When communicating data, especially in a business setting, starting with simple visuals like bar charts is a great place to begin. Relying on our tools graphing defaults or attempting to populate too much data into our graphs, however, can lead to an overwhelming visual which is difficult to process.

This video takes a look at a busy bar graph and steps through the goals of this piece of analysis before exploring different ways to present this data. Using a different approach to grouping the bars and two different versions of line charts an actionable insight is discovered, and presented, to our audience.
