The difference between showing data and showing data beautifully

Think for example that you'd like to show the US top populated cities on your blog, for whatever reason, and differentiate between cities with + 1 million habitants and - 1 million habitants. How would you do it?
This is a way of doing it: you put it into Excel coloring the cells and embed the image on your blog post:post: 
  Table Cities.png

But that’s ugly, and radically impractical. How long did it take you to get from the top of the image to reading this sentence? You’re older now, and you’ve wasted your time scrolling.
With Qlik Sense, you could represent the same data this way:

Or this way:


Elegant, practical, definitely beautiful!
I'll soon post the course's url here, so stay tuned!
