Hi. My name is Jorge Camoes and I'll be your host around here.
excelcharts.com is not your regular Excel tips site. Think of Excel as the car that you took your driving lessons in. Do you really want to know absolutely everything about that car? Or do you want to know enough to be a good driver and be able to drive any car? If this is want you want, then feel free to take my data visualization driving lessons...
You can find here a blog where we discuss data visualization issues and where I post free tutorials from time to time, and a members area (opening soon) where you can find more structured data visualization courses.
To know more about excelcharts.com please visit the About page.

after years of hard thinking I have concluded that graphs are like jokes: if you have to explain them they have failed. — Sally Bigwood – found somewhere on http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/index
Bill: Thanks. This is an obvious connection and I was surprised not getting any results when searching for “charts are like jokes”. I should have tried “graphs” also.
Hello!
Thanks for quoteing my c0-author, Sally Bigwood, from the Tufte site. You might be interested in our book Presenting Numbers, Tables & Charts (Bigwood & Spore: Oxford University Press ISBN 0-19-860722-9) and her business web site, Plain Figures .
Best, melissa
Hi Melissa. I actually have your book, it was one for the first books I bought when I started blogging, about three years ago (November 7, 2006 – thanks Amazon…).
