and perform just about any type of financial analysis you can
think of.
• Creating charts: Create a wide variety of highly customizable
charts.
• Organizing lists: Use the row-and-column layout to store
lists efficiently.

sources.

SmartArt to create professional-looking diagrams.
• Automating complex tasks: Perform a tedious task with a
single mouse click with Excel’s macro capabilities.
