The copy action took more than just the table, so I just have to delete some rows and extraneous info. Then I just pasted everything into an Excel worksheet. Then use CTL “A” to highlight all the data on the page. With this table I found I just needed to click on the “Show Table” button. Sometimes you need to try a few things to get your data into the format you need. But in its current format a simple copy/paste into Flourish won’t work. So our BLS chart does come with a data table. Unfortunately our data needs just a little cleaning. In Flourish, we’ll use the simple Line Chart starting point.Įvery time you start a new visualization in Flourish, your first step is to choose a template starting point.Īfter selecting the template, Flourish will give us a chart with dummy data.Ĭlick on the “Data” tab and you’ll see how the line graph data is structured.ĭepending on how your own data is structured, you might simply need to copy/paste. Creating a line graph using Flourishįor this infographic I’m going to redraw the Consumer Price Index line graph shared above using Flourish.

The most recent numbers that show pricing data through March of 2022 puts us at a 20 year high for prices across all items. Here in the US we track this data through the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Consumer Price Index. Inflation is in the news with rising prices across the globe.
īefore we can create an infographic we need a story to tell. But since there is a native connection to Flourish, there is not really a reason why I should ever need to use Canva’s chart builder. Canva is a super easy tool for infographic design, but its chart builder leaves a lot to be desired.
The more I use Flourish, the more I like Flourish. In today’s post I’ll share the steps I used in creating a line graph centered infographic.
