1 Plan your report

Before you start writing, you need to plan your report based on the purpose, audience, and format of your data presentation. Think about what questions you want to answer, what key messages you want to convey, and what evidence you want to use. Also, consider who will read your report, what they already know, and what they expect from you. Finally, decide on the structure and style of your report, such as the length, sections, headings, and tone.

Two key things to consider when planning your report: Know Your Audience: Understanding who will be viewing your presentation is crucial. Tailor the complexity and detail of your data to match the audience's level of expertise and interests. Define Your Key Message: Clearly identify the main point or takeaway you want your audience to remember. This will guide the structure of your presentation and help you decide which data points to include. Focus on data that supports your key message and avoid cluttering your presentation with extraneous information. This approach ensures your presentation is concise and impactful.

2 Draft your report

Once you have a clear plan, you can start drafting your report. Use your outline as a guide and write in a logical and coherent manner. Start with an introduction that summarizes the background, objectives, and scope of your data analysis. Then, present your data analysis methods, results, and discussion in the main body of your report. Use tables, graphs, and charts to illustrate your data and support your arguments. End with a conclusion that highlights the main findings, implications, and recommendations of your data analysis.

3 Revise your report

After you finish your first draft, you need to revise your report to improve its content, organization, and clarity. Read your report carefully and check for any errors, inconsistencies, or gaps in your data analysis. Ask yourself if your report answers the questions you set out to address, if your data analysis is accurate and relevant, and if your arguments are convincing and well-supported. You may also want to ask for feedback from your peers, supervisors, or clients and incorporate their suggestions into your revisions.

Consider cutting content aggressively at this stage. There's a good chance you've included more detail than the audience/reader needs, just due to being so close to the analytics work yourself. Don't be afraid to cut.

4 Polish your report

The final step of writing a data analysis report is to polish your report to make it professional and engaging. This involves editing your report for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting. Use clear and concise language and avoid jargon, slang, or unnecessary words. Follow the guidelines and standards of your data presentation format, such as the font, margins, headings, citations, and references. Proofread your report several times and use tools like Grammarly or Hemingway to check for errors and readability.

5 Share your report

Now that you have a data analysis report that is ready to be shared, you need to think about how to deliver it to your audience. Depending on your data presentation format, you may need to prepare a summary, an executive summary, an abstract, or a slide deck to accompany your report. You may also need to present your report orally or online, using tools like Zoom or PowerPoint. In any case, you should practice your presentation skills and be prepared to answer questions and feedback from your audience.

It is helpful to share the document the day ahead of the meeting. If you are not the core sponsor of the report, aligning with the sponsor who will be owning the call to action from the report is also a good idea. During the meeting, be prepared to take notes and actions which may result in report revisions or new views on the data.
