Create a Appointment Follow Up Schedule Table

Do you schedule multiple recurring appointments that have a set duration in between them and want to get a table to list them out? Maybe this is something your do for medical appointments or as part of sales prospecting. If you have one name it's pretty easy to just add x days to the initial start date, but if you have a group of people and want to do this in a bulk way it would take more time. However with Power Query, once you set up a "template" for this, it just become a matter of adding new names and refreshing the table to do it automatically. See the video to learn how.

Create a Frequency Polygon Chart to Compare Data

If you've tried to compare data on a frequency histogram that would be challenging because it would overlay each other. Even though you could make one color a bit more transparent, it still wouldn't show that well. An alternative to a frequency histogram is a frequency polygon. It's a bit more minimal because it's almost like a line chart...so you have an easier time showing more that one series of data to do some comparisons. Check out the video to learn how.

Dynamic Combo Chart in Excel

A combination chart is a chart type that has more than one type of chart in a single view. Most times it's a combination of a column and line chart where it would plot something like volume and revenue together. The volume data can be a column chart and the revenue data can be the line chart. Excel has provided this combo chart capability for quite a while but in later version it became very easy as a chart type selection (which this video will cover). However there not really an option to give interaction like selecting to view the column chart alone and then both chart type together with a click of the button. This video will cover a quick hack on how to create a dynamic or interactive combo chart using slicers.
