ConnectCode SparkCode Professional 2.0

ConnectCode SparkCode Professional 2.0 is an Add-in for Excel designed for creating Sparklines (an invention by Edward Tufte), which  effectively lets you make a Dashboard in Excel containing large number of these tiny graphics for visualizing trends and comparing vast quantities of data. Sparklines are data intense, design simple graphics as small as a cell which use TrueType fonts

With SparkCode, you will be able to create quality dashboard reports in just a few simple steps. The software provides a very easy to use interface that aids the generation of different chart types by guiding users through the flow and allows users to customize the charts with various options.

The graphics in SparkCode are implemented as font glyphs, which means the charts (lines, columns, dots) are actually a string of text that are easily portable to third party softwares that support text and fonts. As a result of this, the charts are about the same size as the words around them, and you can present them very elegantly by embedding them within a paragraph of text of your favorite word processor.

 How It Works

• SparkCode Professional works by generating a sparkline for every row of data in a rectangular block of cells. The following shows several line graphs each placed within a cell.
• To create these tiny line graphs in Excel, you simply open up the main dialog of SparkCode Professional, select the block of cells and click the OK button. A graph will be generated for each row of data.
• What is interesting about these graphs is that they are actually text strings. They are as easy to handle as text. You can resize them by setting their font sizes, or copy and paste them to another cell, or another software. Because they are about the same size as the words around them, you can present them very elegantly by embedding them within your Excel reports or dashboards.
