not recognize the numbers in column A as a data series and automatically creates the correct chart. After
creating the chart, you can enter the text Year into cell A1 if you like.

Explanation: Excel uses the method of least squares to find a line that best fits the points. The R-squared value
equals 0.9295, which is a good fit. The closer to 1, the better the line fits the data. The trendline predicts 120
sold Wonka bars in period 13. You can verify this by using the equation. y = 7.7515 * 13 + 18.267 = 119.0365.
6. Instead of using this equation, you can use the FORECAST.LINEAR function in Excel. This function
predicts the same future values.
7. The FORECAST.ETS function in Excel predicts a future value using Exponential Triple Smoothing, which
takes into account seasonality.

Sparklines

Sparklines in Excel are graphs that fit in one cell. Sparklines are great for displaying trends. Excel offers three
sparkline types: Line, Column and Win/Loss.
Create Sparklines
To create sparklines, execute the following steps.
1. Select the cells where you want the sparklines to appear. In this example, we select the range G2:G4.
3. Click in the Data Range box and select the range B2:F4.
4. Click OK.

Note: the high points are colored green now and the low points are colored red.
Note: when creating multiple sparklines at once (one for each row or column of data), your sparklines are
grouped. To customize each sparkline individually, first select the grouped sparklines and click Ungroup.
Sparkline Types
Excel offers three sparkline types: Line, Column and Win/Loss. You can easily change to a different type of
sparkline at any time.
1. Below you can find the Line sparklines we created in the previous two paragraphs.

Result:
Note: we changed the data to negative and positive values. A win/loss sparkline only shows whether each
value is positive (win) or negative (loss).

Sparkline Axes
By default, each sparkline has its own vertical scale. The maximum value is plotted at the top of the cell. The
minimum value is plotted at the bottom of the cell.
1. Below you can find the column sparklines we created in the previous paragraph.
Note: all green bars have the same height, but the maximum values (B2, E3 and F4) are different!
4. Under Vertical Axis Minimum Value Options and Vertical Axis Maximum Value Options, select Same for
All Sparklines.

Note: the horizontal axis only appears if the sparkline has data that crosses the zero axis. On the Sparkline tab,
in the Style group, click Marker Color to change the color of the negative points.
Note: to show hidden data in a sparkline, check "Show data in hidden rows and columns".
4. You can show empty cells as gaps (first sparkline below), zero (second sparkline below) or connect the data
points with a line (third sparkline below).
Note: now it's your turn! Download the Excel file and try to create a few sparklines. Practice makes perfect.
