Week 5 work

 This week chapter 6 was assigned.

In this chapter, several tools and techniques were discussed, each of them to help analyze and visualize data. Spreadsheets were listed as a common tool for basic data analysis, spreadsheets, allow users to store their data, perform calculations, filter, their data, and create different charts and graphs. Google spreadsheets is one of the spreadsheets listed as an example. BI platforms, or business intelligence platforms, help with advanced data analysis. Tableau was one of the BIP platforms listed. In infographics are visual representations of data that are supposed to make complicated information. Easier to understand. Canva was the infographic that was listed. Data visualization is another helpful tool. Using consistent colors, keeping design, simple, and labeling charts clearly are all things that could help create an effective visualization. Most of the platforms listed for need data visualizations to keep their audiences interested. This chapter was pretty fun because of all of the different platforms that were able to be explored. I am more familiar with a few of them, but really enjoyed looking into the ones that I didn’t know  as well.
