Excel 2010 provides tools that enable you to efficiently present your data and that can also make your data easier to understand. Tables can be used to logically present data in an easy to read fashion and table styles provide a way to make your workbooks more attractive and professional looking. Conditional formatting allows you to highlight trends and exceptions in cells or ranges of cells by presenting the identified data in a number of unique ways to make it stand out. Sparklines, a new feature of Excel 2010 are small charts within a cell that provide a visual representation of data and can be used to show trends in an appealing manner. These features – tables, styles, conditional formatting, and sparklines – how to access them and how to use them, are covered in this course.
