If you're confused about what type of chart to use...

...check out Chart Chooser.

It's a website that suggests chart formats for each of six purposes: 

• Comparison
• Distribution
• Composition
• Trend
• Relationship
• Table  

Plus, it provides free PowerPoint or Excel templates that you can load your data into.

I learned about this resource from Ann Wylie's Revving Up Readership newsletter. Thanks, Ann!
