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
Developing Excel apps is fun and challenging. We love to see people using our tools to come up with new ideas, and ways to solve a problem. So, download a tool and create something great!
Excel games
Excel games are fun to develop. We like to make if feel as if you are not in Excel when you play one of our spreadsheet games. These games are a great way to take a break at work.
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
We create the template for you. After that, update and process it as you please. These templates are timeless and helps with project management and organization.
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.
Video lessons
To visually learn things, our video lessons will help you breakdown various tasks in an easy way.
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
If you are looking for information, then our reference desk is one of the places to start.
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.
Experiments
Some projects at Excel Effects start as experiments. We finish some, while others remain in limbo.
Feel free to pick up where we left off.
