Aufgabenstellung
Zu beurteilende Tabelle
Critique
- Formatting of table
- Description of the time period ( Qtr4 ) better be placed in Heading.
- Description of the time period ( Qtr4 ) better not be abbreviated.
- Fonts
- More than one font used
- Some of the Fonts used are of the 'fancy type' and thus poorly readable.
- Formatting of values
- Date Format not consistent in length. Better use two-digit day and month.
- Date separation: Better use dash - than slash /
- Transaction date is right-aligned, therefore too close to description of Expense-Type.
- Grouping of Data
- Better group data first by Expense Type then by date.
- Rearrange columns to: Expense Type - Expense - Date.
