1. Format Individual Data Points in your Chart via Home Ribbon Controls
You can now format data points in your chart using the Home Ribbon Controls. With this update, you can choose the fill color for each individual point in the data series. This can be a helpful way to highlight particular data points and illustrate trends in your data.
1. Share a Section of a Workbook (Current Channel)
Whether collaborating through Teams or on the web, you may want to share information from a workbook. You can share the entire workbook, but often it’s safer, faster, and more efficient to share just a section of the workbook for viewing or editing. You can now easily share with others a link to a specific range, table, or chart, now available on Windows. Read more >
