STIS: If trying to display the intersections of three sets of data, is there a simpler method than a Venn diagram?

I don't feel like making a Venn diagram in Excel.

- They are just a pain in the dick in Excel. It's dumb that Venn isn't a set graph type. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 10:23 15

      - wait, this still sucks. i can't even resize the friggin circle labels? -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 10:28 2
        
        take away the labels and draw your own boxes? -- nm - b. Jan 20, 10:36

  - use power point. -- nm - loosilu Jan 20, 10:23 1
    - it's not especially easier. still gotta draw the circles and shit. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 10:25
not really, no. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 10:14
the phrase "raison d'etre" comes to mind. :) I can't think of a counter-example. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:13
Pictorialy, I don't think it gets simpler than a Venn diagram. - musubi Jan 20, 10:12
