3-up and 4-up charts

Baldie

I am going for a job intervuew on Thursday morning and I am just going through the job spec that I was given. On it there is a line;

" Documenting activity in appropriate reporting format, including 3-up and/or 4-up charts"


What are 3-up and 4-up charts? I have never heard of them.

I'd assume they mean summary charts that display three/four different data sets on the one slide/page. They probably have a number of sets of data that they present together like this to summarise progress, decisions, etc for managers and meetings. For example, a 3-up chart might have a graph with sales figures with trends top left, a graph of contributory areas top right and a table underneath with a list of important factors with proposed actions and outcomes.

Also gives an example of a 3-up chart. Best of luck kiddo.

Typically 4 Up's are used to give an overview of projects / situations. An example of the quadrants could be background/scope, schedule/timelines, cost/benefits and risks. These could be completed using diagrams, tables, charts or words.

Good luck on Thursday

Thanks everyone.

So now I know what one looks like, how do I create one? I've tried searchng excel and powerpoint, but nothing has come up.

I would imagine that you create the graphs and/or tables seperately as normal in Excel and then import them into a powerpoint presentation or into a new sheet in excel.
