In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Data Analysis, Excel & Google Sheets
Critique My Chart Before I Present It
Prompt
Chart description: type, axes with units, series, colours, title, labels, annotations: {{CHART_DESCRIPTION}}
The data behind it (values or a summary): {{CHART_DATA}}
What I want the audience to conclude: {{INTENDED_CONCLUSION}}
Audience: {{AUDIENCE}}
Review and report:
1. What a viewer will conclude in ten seconds, based on the description. Does it match my intended conclusion?
2. Honesty problems: truncated axis on a bar chart, inconsistent scales between panels, cherry-picked date range, dual axes that imply a relationship, area or size encoding that exaggerates, missing sample sizes or uncertainty.
3. Clarity problems: clutter, legend lookups, too many colours, unreadable labels, order of categories.
4. A prioritised list of changes, most important first, with the exact setting in Excel or Sheets where I can make each.
5. A rewritten title and annotation.
Base your review only on the description I gave; say what you cannot judge without seeing the picture, and list anything I should describe more precisely.
