Course author Guy Vaccaro has more than 15 years' experience with Excel and Office Suite training in classroom, print, and computer-based formats. With a focus on Microsoft Office Suite, Vaccaro is especially accomplished in Excel and its uses in web and database functionality.
The course begins with an overview of Excel charts, teaching basic concepts like selecting data, working with Sparklines to create inline charts, choosing a type of chart, and using the tools in the chart sub-ribbons and properties box.
The course continues by exploring all the tools and techniques for designing charts, including chart layout, styles and colors, adding and manipulating shapes, and managing data labels.
Vaccaro covers all types of charts in Excel, including special chart types such as hybrid charts that combine multiple chart types in a single chart, creating a pie graph out of a section of a larger pie graph, and the more complex radar and scatter charts.
The course closes with a chapter devoted to printing and sharing charts, explaining how to print a chart, how to work with chart templates, and linking charts to other Microsoft Office applications like Word and PowerPoint.
"Charts represent your numbers in some kind of pretty visual format that hopefully makes the numbers easier to digest, easier to understand, or more meaningful for people having a look at them," Vaccaro explains.
"But we'll see that charts are not just pretty, they are functional, and choosing the right chart matters actually a great deal. We're going to look at how to determine which chart is right for your data."
