    The data, however, is of little or no use if it does not make sense to the audience. Numbers and percentages make sense when represented by data visualization. If you've looked at data in a spreadsheet and wondered what all the numbers mean, then you know how effective visualization is. Why spend hours in a boardroom reviewing a thirty-page report when all that information can be translated into a thirty-minute visual presentation?
