Q4 Visualizing the Clues: Introduction
Chart the Clues
As Data Detectives, you’ve already sorted and filtered the chaos to uncover the cleanest clues in your spreadsheet.
Now the mystery gets visual. Your suspect left information hidden in the numbers, and the charts are the key to revealing it. In this Quest, you will learn how to choose the right type of chart, turn your data into pie and column charts, and read the visuals like a detective cracking a case. Each chart you create brings you closer to discovering who took the missing collectibles.
