Course Description

"Every Picture Tells a Story" is a popular saying that is true not only in everyday life but also in Excel. Behind your set of numerical data is a story waiting to be told. The telling of this story needs to be to-the-point, easy to understand, and engaging. Data visualization represents numerical data in a visual format so that your audience can quickly and easily understand it and gain insight from it.

This training covers how to visually represent your data using both traditional charts (bar charts, line charts, etc.) and how to do the same using some of Excel's non-charting tools.

Topics covered:


  • Charting 101 - create a basic chart

  • From drab to fab - enhance and customize a basic chart

  • Combination charts - line and bar in a single chart

  • Dynamic charts - automate adding new data to a chart

  • Creating in-cell Sparkline charts

  • Creating infographics with Excel

  • Creating a heat map using Conditional Formatting

  • Data Visualization using symbols and icons

Learning Objectives: 


  • Identify the most appropriate chart to convey your message

  • Identify how to create a chart from a set of data and change its appearance

  • Determine the steps of how to create Sparkline charts (really useful in dashboards)

  • Determine the steps of how to create infographic-style charts

  • Identify various ways to represent data visually without using the charting tools
