Video 16: Visualizing Report Data - Part 3

In this 4-minute video, Peter Myers and Chris Finlan introduce the data visualization templates.

Note

Unlike flexible grid layouts, the visualization is fixed in dimensions.

The Insert ribbon tab contains six templates to visualize data:

  • Chart
  • Gauge
  • Map
  • Data bar
  • Sparkline
  • Indicator

Tip

Your students may know these visualizations by different names so take a moment to describe or show each of the templates.
