MDAccess

While it is true that numbers do not lie, in most cases you need to make sure that you use the right method to present them, as otherwise the data can be difficult to understand. Consequentially, before you start working on your presentation, it is advisable to take the time and find the right chart that enables you to communicate your information clearly.

MDAccess is a small piece of software that allows you to display relevant data for your project or presentation using a wide variety of charts and graphs.

Even though it is not a looker, the interface is intuitive and well-organized, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any issues with managing the information from your databases. The role of the application is to provide you with a simplistic way to present data that is relevant to a meeting or presentation in a clear manner.

The program includes several plot types that you can employ to present your data, namely CET, tabular, Bubble, Scatter, Grid Plot, Layers, Pies, Lines, horizontal and vertical Parallel or Stacked bars with or without lines. Unfortunately, the number of available plots is not very extensive.

While you cannot alter the plots' original design too much, you should keep in mind that you can choose the type of information that you want to present. You can exhibit all the variables in a bar chart so your audience gets an overall idea of your company's financial situation, for instance.

Alternatively, you can display a single variable over a particular interval to point out the differences that have occurred during the months of years since the release of your product or service. If you decide to present the information this way, then the application automatically creates a separate plot for each variable.

If you are working with medium to large databases and would like to use the information stored there in a concise and relevant manner, then perhaps MDAccess could lend you a hand.
