[E.C. 2 of 7] Create charts your colleagues will envy!

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Welcome to day two of our Excel journey. I hope you enjoyed yesterday's lesson on the Home ribbon.

Today, we're moving on to the Insert ribbon.

​Watch The Lesson​

When it comes to the Insert ribbon, creating charts is probably the most important feature you'll use.

Excel offers a wide variety of chart types, but I've noticed many people tend to stick with just pie charts or basic line graphs.

Even worse, I often see people using charts with the default formatting.

That's nothing short of an Excel crime!

But since you're following me, I can't let you continue committing this crime.

Let's change that once and for all.

What many people don't realize is that Excel gives you a ton of customization options.

You're not stuck with the basics, you can create charts that truly bring your data to life.

In today's lesson, I'll teach you how to use other types of charts that will better suit your data.

But we won't stop there.

I'll also show you how to go from the boring, overused default version to stunning, professionally designed charts.

These will make anyone wonder if you created them in Excel!

After you've watched the video, try creating a custom chart with your own data. I'm curious to see what you come up with!

Tomorrow, we'll tackle the Layout ribbon and I'll show you a trick that'll save you tons of time on formatting.

Till Next Time,

Josh

Hey Reader, Get my top 14 dashboards and 6 modules, free. They arrive already filled in with your own company's numbers. All of it comes with my free masterclass on September 3rd. Let me tell you why I'm doing this. Almost every business I've worked with needs a proper financial model. Hardly any of them have one. And the ones that do usually have a file somebody built two years ago that nobody has had time to touch since. It's one of the most important tools you can own, and it's also the...

Hey Reader, On Thursday, September 3rd I'm running a free 60 minute masterclass, and when it starts there will already be a complete financial model of your own company sitting on your screen.
