One important and fabulous thing that I learned from "Data Analysis Using SQL and Excel" book is how I can represent correct data using correct SQL query.

What is the distribution of the number of orders in the 5 states that have the largest number of orders? (By representing the Other‘s as a other category)

Hi Amin!!
Thanks to write about the book!
A question.... do you link your chart directly to SQL Query?
Cheers!!

WE WANT MORE COMMENTS FROM YOU!!! :-)

Hi Pedro
I drew the chart with excel and not with SQL Server, of-course you can link the excel charts with SQL directly, and it is easy.
