Slides from a show today to CPAs about free easy to use tools to present data.

1. USING DATA VISUALIZATION TOOLS TO MAKE
DECISIONS AND PRESENT INFORMATION
Allen Lloyd
Executive Assistant
The Ohio Society of CPAs

2. OVERVIEW
What is data?
Importance of presenting data in easily
consumable formats
Tools available
 Word Clouds - Wordle / Tagxedo
 Mapping – BatchGeo PowerView
 Dynamic Charting – PowerView / Tableau Public
Reasons to use these tools

3. WHAT IS DATA?
Data are values of qualitative or quantitative
variables, belonging to a set of items, or the
very pale droid on Star Trek.

4. WHAT IS DATA’S POTENTIAL?
 Deep knowledge
 Wasted storage space
 Misinterpretation
 Confusion
 Hidden insights
 Hunch confirmation
Find and measure
what is important!

5. WORD CLOUDS
Word clouds give greater prominence to words that
appear more frequently in the source text
MORE
LESS

6. WORD CLOUDS ONLINE TOOLS
Wordle – most popular easiest to use
Tagxedo – allows clouds in specific shapes

7. WORD CLOUDS USES
Find important topics from poll results
 If open ended questions are used this is an easy way to see
what is important.
Compare data sets
 Look at word cloud of vendors from two years, do the changes
make sense?
Explain variances to non-accounting people
 Clients/Bosses not in the accounting industry can understand
different sized words easier than a chart of numbers.
