Quick Hit: How to organize and present your data

One of the more difficult things to do when you have all these massive amounts of data is to pick a good way to show them to people.   It's easy to read frequencies and toplines yourself, and then turn them into textual explanations for people to read, but when you're talking to your clients, you're going to need more than that.  How do you pick the best kind of visualization for your data? Let's assume that you need mundane charts, and nothing as neat as what the team at Flowing Data do.

If you're stuck trying to figure out how to present your data, the good people at Chart Chooser have made your life easier for you.  Follow a simple questionnaire in which you pick what you're trying to accomplish, and then you'll be able to download templates for use in PowerPoint or Excel.   This is great stuff, so I'm adding it to our Resources page.
