Pimp your Excel dashboard with sparklines
A data visualization guru once came up with a brilliant idea, a means to show vast amounts of data in the simplest way possible. The only problem was figuring out how to make standard tools like Excel display these precious wonders, these sparklines. Enter SparkMaker. I’m sure there are other solutions on the market by now, but this sure seems like a nifty way to drop those sparklines into Excel’s cells.

Andreas,
Thanks for the comment. SparkMaker is not the only game in town, which is good thing for us sparkline lovers. Bonavista Microcharts for Excel looks very promising.
Another interesting project is the Sparkline Generator for web applications.

Kevin,
do not forget a totally free, yet very usable alternative to Microcharts and Sparkmaker : Sparklines for XL
Have a look at : http://sparklines-excel.blogspot.com/
Sparklines for Excel is an open-source project, hosted on Sourceforge.net.
