Data vizualisation

[Paulj1202]

Hi All.

I have started a course on data visualization on line.

Although i thought i understood the course i got a collogue to send me some (any) data  across to see if i could make sense of it, understand the data and then work out what type of graphs and charts to use to visualize the data.

When the data came i didnt have a clue.

Could some one please give me some pointers on where to start

thanks in advance

@Paulj1202 The resolution of the screenshot is way to low to see what's in it. But by judging the general outline it looks quite messy and it seems to have been grouped/summarized in some way already.

Perhaps your colleague can explain better than any of us here what the data is about.

Hi Riny
Thanks for your reply.
the data relates to sales, purchases etc.
I was hoping to be able to visualize the data in chart/graph form and was really looking for some pointers

@Paulj1202 Sorry but that's still rather vague. show some data first. Perhaps you can save your file on OneDrive (or similar) and provide a link here giving access to the file.

Hi Riny

Sorry for being so vague, this is all new to me.
Ive uploaded the data

@Paulj1202 Thanks, but I have no clue what that data is about and what all the abbreviations mean. As I suspected, it is already grouped in some way and the structures is no good for further analysis.

Difficult to help if you yourself don't know what you actually want to achieve. Google for 'excel chart examples' or something similar and you'll find many references to blogs, tutorials etc. There you can see what's possible, but also how the data need to be structured. 

But doesn't your on-line course provider give you some course material (videos or sample data to work with)? If not, I hope you didn't have to pay for it.
