[Note: all these tips work in Excel 2007 or above]
Whenever you are working with huge lists of data, filtering & sorting is one simple way to analyze the data quickly.
You can quickly filter your data based on current cell’s value by right clicking and then selecting filter > filter by selected cell’s value.
Here is a charting challenge to begin your Christmas week. Recently Guardian’s Data Blog released World Education Rankings data and a sample visualization. Now your challenge is to make your chart visualizing World Education Rankings data.
You can see the chart I have constructed above. Read the rest of the post to find out how I made this chart and download the workbook.
