Give everyone in your
organization a powerful new way
to work with data
Your vision is somewhere hidden in the data
Lay out your data
Organize your numeric or text data in spreadsheets or workbooks. Viewing it in context helps you make more informed decisions.
Reformat and rearrange it
As you look at different configurations, Excel learns and recognizes your pattern and auto-completes the remaining data for you.
Do your analysis
Excel will perform complex analyses for you. And it summarizes your data with previews of pivot-table options, so you can compare them and select the one that tells your story best.
Get a better picture of your data
Flow into charts and graphs
Excel can recommend the charts and graphs that best illustrate your data patterns. Quickly preview your options and pick those that present your insights most clearly.
Find your best storyline
Discover and compare different ways to represent your data–and your intents– visually. When you see the one that shows your data best, apply formatting, sparklines, charts, and tables with a single click.
Highlight trends and patterns
Make it easy to spot trends and patterns in your data by using bars, colors and icons to visually highlight important values.
Unlock numbers and tell the story in your data
