To that end, there has been an explosion in data analysis and data visualization tools over the past few years. For many people, however, Microsoft Excel continues to the be the workhorse for their data visualization needs. If you are an Excel user, the default chart types in do not need to limit your data visualization capabilities; extending the tool to create other chart types is indeed possible.  \nIn this step-by-step guide to data visualization in Excel, you will learn how to create nearly 20 new graphs in Excel 2016/Office 365 (O365). Each tutorial will lead you through the steps to create each chart type (instructions and images use the 2016 version of Excel on PCs, but are very similar to those on the Mac) .
