Loading...Let’s imagine that you need to create a chart from data where values are not too different. Our sample data explores how people of different age brackets choose their favorite colors. If you look closely at the data, you will realize that all values span from between 285 and 365. Essentially, it makes no sense to even discuss any value lower than 250 or above 370 for this data set. Yet when you create sample column and bar charts from this data using PowerPoint’s defaults, you’ll end up with a column chart that shows columns that are very similar in their heights — there really is no contrast highlighting the findings of our data. It’s the same story with bar charts where the bars look almost similar.
