Course Overview

Microsoft Excel: Data Visualization w/ Excel Charts & Graphs

Master 20+ Excel charts & graphs, build custom dashboards, and create advanced spreadsheet visuals w/ a top instructor!

Microsoft Excel is an incredibly powerful and dynamic data visualization platform for those willing to think beyond rows, columns, and spreadsheets, and I'm here to prove it.


This course gives you a deep, 100% comprehensive understanding of MS Excel's latest data visualization tools and techniques. I'll show you WHEN, WHY, and HOW to use each Excel chart type, introduce key data visualization best practices, and guide you through interactive, hands-on demos and Excel exercises every step of the way.


We'll kick things off by exploring each of the 20+ charts & graphs in Excel, including: 


  • Bar & Column charts

  • Histograms & Pareto charts (Office 365, Excel 2016 or Excel 2019)

  • Line charts, Area charts & trend lines

  • Pies & Donuts

  • Scatter plots & Bubble charts

  • Box & Whisker charts (Office 365, Excel 2016 or Excel 2019)

  • Tree Maps & Sunbursts (Office 365, Excel 2016 or Excel 2019)

  • Waterfall & Funnel charts (Office 365, Excel 2016 or Excel 2019)

  • Radar & Stock charts

  • Heat maps, 3-D Surface & Contour charts

  • Choropleths & Geospatial maps

  • Custom Combo Charts

  • Sparklines


From there we'll dive into a series of advanced Excel demos guaranteed to turn you into an absolute data visualization and analytics rockstar. These aren't "textbook" demos that you can find on Excel YouTube channels; these are projects and dashboards adapted from actual, award-winning work featured by Microsoft, MIT, and the New York Times.


We'll cover advanced Excel data visualization topics that you won't find anywhere else, including:


  • Custom image overlay charts

  • Automation with named ranges and OFFSET/COUNTA functions

  • Scroll & Zoom functionality with Excel form controls

  • Animated charts to visualize changes over time

  • Dynamic, custom Excel dashboards

  • Value-based chart formatting

  • Custom gauge charts & pacing charts

  • Grid visuals using Excel array formulas

See you there!
