They cannot believe how inaccurate their estimates were. Then I show them the same charts with the labels included. I ask the audience to estimate the values of the wedges or bars. I lecture regularly on creating effective graphs and often show 3D charts with the labels removed. This is a reply to the comment by Saman who said," 3d charts work very well here and along with the numerical values can work very well in general too, there is a reason they are included in Excel, if some people find them hard to read doesn’t mean everyone else does too." Would love to take part in the next contest. Option 6 could also do with better space utilization in my opinion, however, it’s simple and easy to read. Option 5 is just awesome, wonderfully laid out and readable. Option 4 has the same problem as Option 3 and makes it more confusing for me by adding so many colours, go easy on the colours! Option 4 could do with better summary and presentation.
The presentation is simple however, there is a lot of space wastage and poor symmetry of the layout. Option 3 does not give any of the information that I would have chosen for the main sheet. Option 2 screenshot is not ideal but the template is plain and simple and with good formatting. I disagree with Naomi, 3d charts work very well here and along with the numerical values can work very well in general too, there is a reason they are included in Excel, if some people find them hard to read doesn’t mean everyone else does too. Love the presentation of the Option1, I don’t like the use of blue at the top as it makes the data a bit harder to read but the overall layout is excellent, even if I am not a big fan of dark colours in spreadsheets. I admit that I did not take the time to evaluate this so I am only voting on the presentation of the results. I admit that the vote should be based on how useful the trackers are and if they contain the information one would want to track. I'd like the labels moved away from zero on the top chart, but I consider that defect less serious than the others. Option 6 is out since I don't like stacked bar charts. Option 5 uses too many dollar signs and ignores the roughly 8% of the male population that shows would not be able to distinguish the colors on the graph. I can't vote for Option 3 since the numbers are left adjusted. Option 2 uses too many percent signs that make the numbers more difficult to read. Also, the decimal points don’t line up in the table. I think that the ability to handle multiple currencies is important, but I cannot vote for a dashboard that uses 3D pies, so that rules out Option 1.
