YOU'RE VISUALIZING YOUR DATA WRONG. And Here's Why...

Im also enrolled in your Looker studio course on udemy.

From watching pie charts, i want one apple crumble pie to eat....imagining.....warm with mustard....

Hi Adam,

I would like to mention that your videos on Looker Studio have helped us a lot in automating our reporting.
With Universal analytics being deprecated and GA 4 taking over. I am eagerly awaiting your informational content on how to go about it using Google Big Query.

Thanks for making this video. I feel there are a lot of takeaways that will make me consider content every time I make a new visual.

Great Video. I'm new to the BI space, but I came from a design background and used the same principles. I tend to convey the information I'm trying to get across and then brand it when need it. I do use the doughnut chart but not the pie chart.

If you use pie charts correctly, they are absolutely useful! I do get a minor stroke every now and then though, when I see what appears to be 314 different categories cramped into one chart. IT RUINS THE PIE! Anyway, thanks for the great video Adam!

Amazing... completely changed my mind about Visualization

For me I use a stacked horizontal bar chart when showing the proportion of time/ money/ resources/ etc. spent in a given stage of a linear process. The bar categories are the process steps going left to right. You can quickly visualize most of your resources are going. I find it pretty intuitive and better than a pie chart in this situation.

Thank you for bringing this to light, pie chart has become a staple in dashboards nowadays as its easier to show how 100% of a metric is used. Off to the dashboard video now, however, if you could answer...2 things...how often should we go for drill downs and is showing tabular data on a dashboard is fine in some case?

Nice video!
I was taught to hate pie charts (even though I used them a lot in the early days), but appreciate your views on them.

Pie Chart when the number of values are max 5 - is a really valuable tip! thanks Adam! But the best moment stays! Maven Pizzaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

For comic effect it's funnier if you do your reaction first and then show what you're reacting to.

Best of Moments - the Maven Pizza dashboard!!!!

I only use binary pie charts!
A yes/no or other binary split usually
It's very powerful and doesn't confuse anyones
Otherwise it's bar or column charts

Unless your audience UNDERSTANDS the chart, don't use it!!
There's more people maths-illiterate than you realise

My guiding principle?
Learn from advertisement posters!
Very very simple messaging
No more than a few items of data to soothe the furrowed brow of the viewer 🤩🌟

Great video for beginners like me, off to watch the dashboard video ! A lot of people talk about pie charts, but the data to ink ratio was an interesting takeaway for me.

Great video as always
