Read This Book if Charting with Excel and FRx

by Jan Harrigan CPA

Data by FRx, Charts by Excel

I highly recommend Excel Charts by John Walkenbach. Excellent coverage on creating high-impact charts, in addition to warnings about what not to do. I already sort of knew charting, or at least I thought I did. But this book starts from the beginning and I learned a lot. It’s the best business book I read in 2007

I describe the technique I use to chart FRx reports at the post entitled Executive Reporting—Using Excel Charts with FRx.
