Use sparklines in your financial models

Rickard Wärnelid shows how Excel sparklines draw more insight from the same data, cut errors and make model outputs faster for your audience to read.

Webinar · Recording · Presented by Rickard Wärnelid · 31 January 2019

Edward Tufte described sparklines as “data-intense, design-simple, word-sized graphics”. Financial modellers have debated whether they belong in a model ever since. Excel now builds them in, yet few models use them.

This webinar shows how to start using sparklines in your financial models and what they give you: more insight from the same data, fewer errors and presentations your audience understands faster.
