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

Published 10 months 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, You know what drives me crazy? When people talk about departmental budgeting like it's all about the spreadsheets. I mean seriously... most finance pros obsess over formulas and formatting while ignoring the actual hard part: Working with people. After building financial processes for dozens of companies, I can tell you this: departmental budgeting fails because of relationship breakdowns, not calculation errors. Your fancy Excel model means nothing if your Marketing Director...
