Little by little I've been continuing to share some of my top data tips on Instagram and even branched out from visualizations into agile and data prep. Now that I've got to number 10, it’s time for another recap.

If you have any suggestions on topics or have your own tips to share, please let me know and I'll try to work them into the series.

  • MISSING VALUES - Check your data for missing values before performing your analysis.

  • CONSISTENT ORDERING - Be consistent when ordering. Either order by value, or by label.

  • ASK YOURSELF - What are the numbers you’re not hearing about?

  • MINIMUM VALUABLE PRODUCT - Even your minimum viable product needs to demonstrate value to your users.

  • HIGHLIGHT THE STORY - Use color and shade to highlight the story in the data.
