I know some of us do most things at work and may not be able to share a screenshot (myself included) but let's hear what are the amazing things you've created / done in Excel this year! I'll Start us off. ⬇️ _______________________________________________ I do a lot of work in forecasting and analysis and showing how a metric trends over time (like a product's price) is pretty standard. Line charts work, dot plots work also. But I also needed to show how many units were getting sold each of these days. You can overlay a bar chart, and that works, but visually communicating volume works great if each dot gets lighter with less volume. And that's what this chart does. Solid Dots have high volume. Very light dots have very little volume. Your eye immediately sees where volume is greatest, and has the biggest effect on results. I used this visual to help explain a hot-button issue and it immediately got shared with executives in multiple departments — big credibility booster. What's something you're proud of? — New Function You Learned — Process you improved — Challenge you Overcame

I’ve realized that even the cleanest query fails to address the issue if it doesn't solve a stakeholder’s actual 2 AM headache, so I'm here to bridge that gap with a more consultative mindset. I’m excited to share some of my automation frameworks, but I'm also here to pick your brains on the new tools and workflows you're using to stay ahead! Is there an Excel/data feature that saved your day/night? Or one that you just can't wrap your head around? (I still use V/HLOOKUP over XLOOKUP 😅)
