Video: Choosing a chart type is trickier than you think (20 mins.)

A conversation between data visualization researcher and professor Enrico Bertini and Nick, in which they discuss:

  • Why traditional "chart chooser" diagrams are unreliable and, in many cases, unhelpful

  • Why both the nature of the data and the purpose of the chart must be considered when choosing a chart type

  • Examples of more reliable and helpful chart-type-choosing decision trees from Nick's new book, Practical Charts
