It can be difficult to convey the meaning derived from a spreadsheet, especially when there are large amounts of data involved. An excellent solution is to use the charts and other data visualization tools contained within Excel. In the Excel Charts and Visualizations course, we discuss how to create and modify charts, the many types of charts and when they are most applicable, advanced charting practices, sparkline graphics, custom formatting codes, shapes, icons, and dashboard concepts - everything you need to achieve the best possible presentations.
