Column and stacked column chart with target line
A column and stacked column chart is not necessarily an easy chart to create. When it is done, you get to compare multiple series of values across different categories.
Software tools
Excel Effects develops unique tools with spreadsheets, including games and dynamic dashboards.
We consider Excel for more than just calculating numbers and analyzing data. Overall, you can do almost anything in Excel.
Excel apps
Most of our Excel apps are basic and small in size. They were developed to help you in your projects. Therefore, you may need to do some tweaking to the app, to make it work for your project.
Excel games
We love to develop and play games in Excel. It is very challenging to create these type of games. In addition, people are fascinated with the aspect of playing games in Excel.
Dashboards
So, we learned how to develop Excel dashboards without using heavy code. These graphical user interfaces allow you to creatively view your data in a user-friendly manner.
Templates
For project management, take a look at our templates. They will help you organize projects and maintain productivity. So, put your workload in a nice template.
Requirements
Most tools in the Excel Effects family require Excel.
Alternative to Excel, try Google Sheets, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice.
Education is key.
Snapshots, quick tips, tutorials and video lessons by Excel Effects.
We love developing software tools and apps. However, we understand the importance of education and learning new things.
Snapshots
Snapshots are brief image tutorials with short summaries. They are great for posting how-to instructions on your desk as a quick reference.
Quick tips
Our quick tips will assist you in a particular task. They are similar to full tutorials, but generally focus on a key area.
Video lessons
We provide video lessons on Excel and subjects related to spreadsheets. This includes programs like PowerPoint.
VBA tutorials
VBA or Visual Basic for Applications is the key coding language for Excel. It is good to learn some tricks with it.
Reference desk
You do not need a library card to use our reference desk. So come in, to find information for your projects.
Charting tutorials
Knowing how to design charts will help you greatly in the job market and with your personal work.
Using AI to learn and develop.
When using AI to learn and develop, it tends to speed up the process. In many cases, that is great. Particularly, if you understand what the AI delivers as a solution.
However, we think it is also good to learn how to perform certain tasks from scratch. This can help embed knowledge and information in your brain better.
Currently, we use automation in our projects. In future projects, we may incorporate AI functionality.
If we ever use AI in our work, then you will definitely see a note in the project.
