It’s time to dump spreadsheets and move to waterfalls or even donuts for that matter to show your data in ways that people absolutely adore!

 

Have you ever noticed that people often groan when a spreadsheet pops up in front of them sharing brilliant data insights? No matter how useful the insights are, the reaction isn’t what a presenter wants. Rather it is far away from his imagination. Maybe it’s not the audience- or the presenter- to blame. Maybe it is the old school method that is the real culprit. Or maybe the presenter suffers from Dumb-and-Overused-Chart-Syndrome?

 

Haven’t heard of this syndrome before? Unfortunately without even realizing, many presenters are suffering from this so-called syndrome wherein the charts and graphs aren’t engaging enough, thus yielding a negative reaction from the audience- groans, yawns-all at once!

 

Here are 30 excel linked data-driven PowerPoint slides and templates that can help in presenting data in a clever way and up your data visualization game. These charts don’t require the audience to squint; instead, they act as data visualizations tools and do the same that a photo does to everything else: Show not tell!

 

So, now you can stop boring your audience with the same old-school spreadsheets and try serving them some Donuts, Waterfall, Bubbles, so on and so forth. 

 

Trust me it is more fun, and if you are still not convinced. Try it for yourself!

 

P.S- All these charts are data-driven and excel-linked, taking your presenting game a notch higher.
