Excel Sparklines
I'm a bit late to the Office 2010 party so there's been some nice coverage of cool things (like Powerpoint Background Remover), but I wanted to highlight one of my favourites: Sparklines in Excel.
As you can see from the picture, this feature allows you
to add small cell-based graphs (of a few different kinds) to your spreadsheets.
As a manager (and thus spreadsheet-jockey) I'm looking forward to being the
coolest kid on the review meeting block and laugh as my other spreadsheet-jockey
colleagues cower in terror at my Excel voodoo skillz. Probably.
There's a lot of information on the Excel
blog (naturally) about adding Sparklines, formatting them, and thinking about
axes.
