Quick post here, as most of the activity is now on SfE Forum (see previous post for link). I just tested SfE on Office 2011 for Mac. Works reasonably well but needs some modifications (shadow is added by default and other display weird things). No Ribbon however and I also have to find a way to make a proper menu with all formulas.

Select the type of Sparkline you’d like to add to your spreadsheet. You’ll notice there are three types of Sparklines, Line, Column, and Win/Loss. We’ll select Line for our example. A Create Sparklines pops up and will prompt you to enter a Data Range you are using to create the Sparklines. You’ll notice that the location range (the range where the Sparklines will appear) is already filled in.

I got my hands on Office 2013 x64(sleek interface;-) I like it so far) and got SfE working there too. There is a good chance that you can create an SfE.xls in Office 2003 (almost previous century software guys!)and still use it in Office 2013. See SfE running running on both environments.

This function requires only one mandatory parameter: Serie1, which is the range of data you want to visualize. The 2nd parameter, Bins, represents the number of 'slices' you want to divide the data into. For large datasets, Bins=10 works nice. As you will play with it, you'll find out that the calculation time increases dramatically with a higher number of bins. The list of parameters is as follow: Mandatory Serie1 As Variant Optional Bins As Integer Optional ScaleStart As Variant Optional ScaleEnd As Variant Optional Vertical As Boolean Optional HighlightValue As Variant Optional ShowMedian As Boolean Optional ColorScheme1 As Long Optional Serie2 As Variant Optional ColorScheme2 As Long So far the 2 last parameters related to a second serie of data are not used.

2 temporary location) and now desperatly looking for a house. Not mentionning tons of diapers), I still find some time, in airplanes to work on SfE. Although I had very little time lately for playing w/ SfE, I managed to create a new little UDF, not to display in-cell charts, but to link cells this time. Bump Charts have been extensively discussed (, and ) and shows very good examples of how they could be used to describe ranking evolutions over time. Limited to some basic additional data indicators, but they work well Ease of deployment Have to distribute macros with file, some VBA crashes, mostly during creation. Win today, as no built-in option No extra package, but Excel 2010 needed. Win in 2-3 years when 2010 is ‘standard’. While there are equal numbers of ticks in both columns, there are clear winners depending on your required functionality and how you intend to share the information.

For creating dashboards that benefit from different types of in-cell charts and line markers, SFE is still a clear winner – the range of chart types, the continued development, along with the fact that the sparklines are formula based makes for a powerful tool. Distribution is complicated by the need to load the add-in file, but for dashboards that shouldn’t be a barrier. I am just frustrated that MSFT did not even consider looking at what SfE (and Bonavista and Bissantz) was offering before implementing their simplistic solution serioulsy, the guys at MSFT France said “We don’t care about SfE, we have THE SAME in Office 2010″ “THE SAME” LOL' Alex is founder of, an independent consulting company that focuses on obtaining high quality data to facilitate effective business decisions. Data Driven Consulting specializes in a number of areas, including market research, dashboard and data presentation, and authoring of white papers and e-content. Behind this simple idea, lays endless possibilities to create dynamic diagrams and enhance dashboards, reporting documents, presentations and scorecards with innovative visual data graphics. As easy as with your old Excel charts. BeGraphic Lite is more an drawing engine than a ready-to-use solution.

BeGraphic gives the opportunity to handle parameters of any specific picture or shape. But first users must build their custom data visualizations. Then BeGraphic is able to transform any infographics into dynamic charts / animated graphics. In order to show some quick usages in the 'lite version', two pre-built templates are offered: gauges and choropleth maps (+ 7.000 geographical maps given only to users who ask for it and provide their professional email). But all other automatic applications will be provided with the final release of BeGraphic, probably available in summer 2010.

Summarizing, I wouldn say that BeGraphic: - works inside Excel and PowerPoint - doesn't need macro (only have to know the right-click or ribbon) - needs your imagination (to build the initial graphics) Did I mention that BeGraphic also includes an embeded 'Sparklines for Excel' menu. The free version can be downloaded.
