Out of the box, Microsoft charts are the ugliest graph’s you’ll ever see (The person who came out with those default themes for Excel should be shot).
Enter Juice Analytic’s all new Chart Chooser, a free flash based online solution to finding the perfect chart - every time.
Chart Chooser is simple. Firstly, it shows you recommended chart types based on the type of information you want to display - For example, if you want to chart trends, it will show you the best chart types for displaying trends.
Then, just choose to download a formatted chart template in an Excel or PowerPoint template and insert your data.
That’s all there is to it. No more fiddling around with colors, formatting and whatnot.
Bonus tip: You can get some interesting chart layout ideas from the Extreme Presentation Blog
