Easy to Understand Data
Four chart Types which are very good choices: Bar or column (not stacked. That goes to area) Line charts Scatter charts Tables Avoid Pie Charts and Pie Chart Variations (although many people love them and if your client does, I’m ok using them)

Scatter Chart Useful for illustrating the patterns in the data, for example by showing linear or non-linear trends, clusters, and outliers.
