Beschrijving
Inhoud

The ability to produce visualizations has become critical, increasingly sought-after. Data visualization simplifies the process of analyzing data by presenting it in a format that's easier for human brains to understand. Since our eyes are more drawn to colors and patterns than words and numbers, this tool helps communicate information much faster and efficiently using graphical representations such as charts, tables, and maps. Data visualization is a helpful tool for every field in which data plays an important role: industries ranging from marketing to finance to tech.
