Hi to my fabulous followers here in the fediverse! In 2023, I'm going to start data blogging again. I'm starting things off with a summary of a section in my latest book, Read, Write, Think Data. The title of the post is "Asking Worthwhile Questions of Your Data," and you can find it on the @dataliteracy blog here: https://dataliteracy.com/asking-worthwhile-questions-of-your-data/. Enjoy!

This #WaterfallWednesday, don't forget the Waterfall Chart – great for showing a build-up of values to a grand total, & capable of handling negative values, such as when the quantity decreases (think credits/debits or change from previous yr).

πŸ“ˆ Share a waterfall chart you've a) seen "in the wild", or b) made yourself with public data.

More on waterfalls and two dozen other chart types in the book 'Learning to See Data' by @benjones and in our Level 1 training course. https://dataliteracy.com/data-literacy-level-1/

This quote by Mary Eleanor Spear was the inspiration behind our "Level 1" course and the book @benjones wrote titled 'Learning to See Data.'

We all look at charts and dashboards every day, but how often do we look closely enough to really see what they contain? How often does a passing glance mean we walk away with an inaccurate interpretation?
