Best Practices

For Better Analysis

1. Clean data first: Handle missing values, duplicates
2. Define metrics clearly: What exactly are you measuring?
3. Consider context: Industry benchmarks, seasonality
4. Validate findings: Cross-check with other data sources

For Better Visualizations

1. Keep it simple: One main message per chart
2. Label clearly: Title, axes, legend
3. Use appropriate scale: Don't truncate misleadingly
4. Consider colorblind users: Use patterns or distinct colors
