Charts in Excel automatically

Hi,

today we will present you one more small solution to simplify your life in working with Excel. This is an Excel add-in that will enable you to build charts based on one selected.

Let me explain its use on an example. Assume that you have a huge table of data (say, some 50 000 rows). When you decide to build a chart based on this table of data you will probably want to build one chart per one row since it is the only feasible way of presenting data graphically in such a case. If you decide to do that manually (even if you totally need "only", say, 100 charts) it will take A LOT of time!

So, this add-in will help you create charts based on the selected range of rows. You have to define the template chart.
The current implementation allows you to build charts with only one series. Though, the number of series could be expanded on demand.

Below you can see the video demonstration of how it actually works:

Excel ARKANOID

Hi,

here we would like to present you the game Arkanoid. But this game is designed for playing in Excel, therefore, it is ExcelArkanoid. :)



It is a fully functional Excel game. The control of the bar can be done both by the mouse and the keyboard keys. The game counts your score and the remaining balls.

The game is quite simple. We designed it with a purely demonstrational purpose. Our main aim was to show once again the power and the flexibility of Excel that enabled us to create such games as Tetris and Arkanoid in it.
