Getting the most out of your graphs

When you enter your data into a processing package like Microsoft Word or Excel, the graph that you first get back may reflect your data, but may not always be the most clear or effective way to portray your results.

In this video, we’ll show you how to customise a standard graph to communicate information more effectively.

This is not a tutorial on how to create a graph – these are our tips for getting the most out of your graph to make sure your message is clear.

We cover a lot of information in this video so don’t feel you have to take it all in at once. Remember you can pause and rewind whenever you need to. We have also provided a download of the key points that we cover in the video for you to take away.
