Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. One of the primary purposes of using Excel is to analyze and present data in a focused, accessible, and accurate way. A great way to do this is with charts and sparklines. In this course, you'll create basic chart types, such as line, bar, and pie charts, as well as more advanced charts, like treemaps and sunburst charts. In doing this, you'll work with the different aspects of Excel's chart customization capabilities, from chart element transparency to the orientation and exploding out of slices in a pie chart. Next, you'll advance to use more statistically-oriented chart types, including histograms, scatter plots, and box-and-whisker plots. Finally, you'll learn to create, customize, and work with Excel's sparklines, which are lightweight visualizations usually contained within a single cell.
