Choosing the right chart can make or break your data story 📊 One of the most common challenges in data visualization is knowing which chart to use. The right choice can turn complex numbers into insights your audience can instantly understand. Here’s a simple decision tree to help you decide: One numeric variable? Use a Histogram or Density plot. Multiple datasets? Go for a Line chart or Pie chart. Tracking changes over time? A Bar chart works best. Showing relationships between variables? Use a Scatter plot or Heatmap. Data tells stories, your job is to choose the right way to visualize them. How do you decide which chart to use when presenting insights? 👇 #DataVisualization #Analytics #DataStorytelling #BusinessIntelligence

Not every analysis needs a dashboard. Sometimes, what people really need is a report that tells the story. Dashboards are great for a quick pulse check, but they don’t always explain why things happened. Dashboards → what’s happening now Reports → why it happened & what to do next The real value comes when you use both together. I’ll explain this in detail in the carousel. PS: What’s your take, does every analysis really need a dashboard? Please repost if you found this helpful. Follow #LearnWithRuth for more practical, easy-to-digest data insights.

Why Good Data Alone Isn’t Enough📈📈 When I first started my data analysis, I thought the goal was just to run the right queries, build neat dashboards, and present numbers. But I realized something: 📌 Data doesn’t drive action 📌Data tells us what happened. 📌Numbers can show the trend. 📌Storytelling connects it to real business impact. What really drives change is how we communicate those insights. It’s the difference between showing numbers and telling a story that connects those numbers to real business impact. #DataAnalysis #DataStorytelling #BusinessIntelligence #DataDriven #DecisionMaking #EcommerceAnalytics
