Practice — Mild · Claims Rehearsal
Skills focus. The core four plus the share bar, built with craft — sorting,
labels, baselines, and one title per claim.
Ungraded. Start from your A06 model.
Tasks
- Bar: [Total Revenue] by Category, sorted descending, data labels on. Check: Furniture $24.80M on top, Decor $5.02M at the bottom, and the finding is visible with the labels covered.
- Line: [Total Revenue] by Month (Dates), 2025 only. Check: 12 points, May peak, February trough — the Lesson 1 shape, now from the model.
- Matrix: Category rows × Year columns, totals on. Check: grand total $66,813,563.97 — matching your card exactly. Free reconciliation.
- Share bar: % of Total Revenue by Category, sorted. Check: 37.12 + 27.20 + 15.50 + 12.68 + 7.51 ≈ 100.
- Title everything as findings. Write each title before adjusting the chart — notice how the sentence tells you what to emphasize.
Hint — my line chart shows one point
The axis has Year, not Month — or the month came from sales instead of Dates. Expand the hierarchy or swap the field; the 2025 filter stays either way.
Reflection
- The matrix and the card agreed to the cent. What would you conclude — and check — if they had not?
- Which of your five titles was hardest to write, and what does that say about that chart?
