Excel: Visualizing Data Through Images, Shapes and Charts

Course Description

Excel is one of the most widely used spreadsheet programs in the world. People have been using it for the last 30 years and throughout these years, it has been upgraded with more and more features. The best part about Excel is, it can apply to many business tasks, including statistics, finance, data management, forecasting, analysis, inventory, billing, and business intelligence. 

Long gone is the time when bare data was good enough. The attention span of viewers has been reducing over time. They get attracted to data that is visually soothing and fun instead.

Excel provides over 16 dozen geometric shapes that you can size and manipulate to your specific needs, plus hundreds of special effects to customize those shapes. Additional shapes are available in the form of icons, pictures, or 3D Models, all of which can be sized, manipulated, and custom-designed.

If you have a lot of numbers in your spreadsheet it helps to visualize your data using charts. Excel offers many chart options like pie, column, bar, line, scatter, and bubble. Charts can have multiple numeric fields and multiple series. You have several design options in a chart—showing and hiding labels, legends, and titles.
