Raw data in your MyCNBox spreadsheet tells a story, but visualizations translate it into a clear and actionable language. Converting columns and rows into charts is the most effective way to analyze key operational metrics, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions. This guide will walk you through visualizing cost efficiency, QC approval rates, and average delivery times for maximum clarity.
1. Preparing Your Data for Visualization
Before creating charts, ensure your MyCNBox spreadsheet data is clean and consistent:
- Organize:
- Calculate:
- Total Cost:
- Delivery Time (days):
- QC Pass/Fail:
2. Visualizing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
