This channel is underrated and underviewed. Please consider spending some money on marketing. You have a great yet simple and easy to understand content, and it gets buried by TH-cam algorithms.

[@undatable5838]

Thanks Osama. Really appreciate your encouragement. I’ve been doing it as a bit of fun so far, but maybe I should! The TH-cam algorithm is an interesting one! 🤣 Thanks again and take care.

Thanks!

[@rodrigobassi3274]

Hey! Very Good videos, which tool for the chart you used for this tutorial? Excel, tableau, etc. Thanks and keep sharing your knowledge

[@undatable5838]

Hey Rodrigo. This is all done in PowerPoint! So really basic, but it’s integrations with Excel and PowerBI make it a lot more capable from the back end (I.e. data), and Microsoft have ‘taken inspiration’ from Adobe on some nice new features for the front end (I.e. design). So it’s getting better and better as a visualisation tool.
And thanks for your kind words!

[@JoeCaviano]

Damn that was a good example.

[@undatable5838]

Joseph… you’ve made my day with that comment! Thanks!

[@shawntaylor9509]

Wish I found this channel earlier.

[@undatable5838]

More to come soon Shawn. Hopefully to take things up a level as well!

The ONLY thing I would perhaps disagree on (and disagree is probably not the right word, maybe more playing devils advocate?) is that removing the color from Zoom makes the audience spend a few more seconds identifying which bar Zoom represents. If it is kept in color, it’s easily identifiable. I guess that is when knowing your audience comes in handy. If they were more focused on JUST TikTok and not necessarily TikTok vs Zoom then yes, if they were really focused on Zoom as well then probably leave them both highlighted. Just my two cents, and probably just more of a personal preference 😊
