A couple of months ago we received our copy of Office 2010, so it must be about time we start blogging about it!  Sparklines is a new Excel feature which we’ve been impressed with. Basically they’re miniature charts that fit into a single Excel cell to allow the user to view individual trends at a glance.  A feature such as this is ideal when managing money, e.g. to assess how expenditure for different items has varied over a year.

Here’s how to create Sparklines:

1. Click on the ‘Insert’ tab and locate the ‘Sparklines’ box
   
2. Next you must select the type of Sparkline you wish to use by clicking on either Line, Column or Win/Loss
3. Finally in the ‘Create Sparklines Box’ you need to select your data range and location range
   

A neat feature I’m sure you’ll all agree

Happy New Year from PCToolbox!

What an eventful year it’s been!…but how much can you remember?

Test your memory of 2009 with the Quiz of 2009 from Guardian.co.uk!

There are endless events to look forward to over 2010 including the Fifa Football World Cup in South Africa and the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver!

And on the IT side of things…with the success of Windows 7 we expect to see companies begin to make the move from XP to W7!

We hope 2010 is a good year for all our readers!
