Creating Engaging Charts in Excel Is Time-Consuming
If you lack the right techniques…
- You’ll struggle to make charts that explain your data clearly.
- Waste precious time on manual updates.
- Professional reports seem out of reach in a fast-paced business world.
Plus Excel keeps adding new features making it hard to keep up. There seem to be many powerful tools. But you’re stuck in the basics.
We don’t want that for you.
Creating professional Excel charts should be easy.
We designed this course so you can:
- Create Excel charts that exceed your manager’s expectations.
- Upgrade your skills with the latest Excel charting techniques.
- Master Excel formulas for dynamic, auto-updating charts.
- Select the right chart type, ensuring your data stands out.
- Present complex data simply, just like the experts at McKinsey and The Economist.
These charts don’t only look great but also save you time. You get to focus on what really matters.

Join 400,000+ learners who’ve upgraded their Excel skills with us.
We know how challenging it can be to turn complex data into impactful charts in Excel.
Especially when your hard work goes unnoticed.
That’s why we designed our course to teach you quick methods for creating standout charts.
Visuals that are engaging, informative and at the same time minimalistic.
They’re rewarding to make. Rewarding to present. You’ll learn formulas to automate the making of your charts. So you don’t have to worry about adjusting your source data layout to fit your chart.
You’ll save a ton of time AND stand out for your skills.
Your 8-Step Roadmap to Chart Mastery
If Excel has ever made you doubt your abilities, you’re not alone. Go through the steps in the course and soon you’ll find yourself mastering more than just charts.
Turn Your Data into Engaging Stories
Stop wasting time with ineffective charts. Instead start making impactful visuals that get noticed.
But let’s face it, Excel can be tough and take up too much of your time.
We believe it should be easy to make charts that look good and tell a story. That’s why our course gives you all the shortcuts and support you need.
And there’s more to it than just looks.
Once you create an engaging chart, you want it to be responsive and automatically update. Because if not, your whole day gets swallowed up by trying to keep your charts and reports current.
Creating engaging AND self-updating charts is a skill few possess.
The best part?
In this course you’ll learn BOTH skills.
You’ll learn to make charts that update automatically with new data. No more wasting hours manually updating graphs for your monthly reports or presentations. Think of the extra time you’ll have for other work or to simply enjoy a well-deserved break!
“But Leila, Why Learn Business Charts from You?”
You have plenty of options for learning about Excel Charts, so why enroll in our new course?
For starters, as with all our courses, you’ll benefit from our XelPlus 3-pillars of teaching.
Pillar 1– We Speak Plain English
We don’t use jargon or “smart sounding” words when simple words will do. We start with the easy stuff to get you hooked. Then, you can go deeper.
We don’t scare you away by showing you the nerdy details right out of the gate.
Pillar 2 – We Give You Real World Examples
Business Charts are meant to help decision making and solve real world problems.
“What is this data trying to tell us?”
“What are we missing?”
“What should we do after this meeting?”
Some teachers are afraid to go there. They feel safe with theory.
Not us. We come from the trenches of industry.
We don’t shy away from real world examples. We lean into them.
Pillar 3 – We Show You the Big Picture
I’m the type who needs to see how everything fits together.
After all, nothing exists in a silo.
Some courses only show you how to create various chart types in Excel. Some only teach you how to transform raw data for visualization. Others show you how to create beautiful reports.
In our course we teach you both preparing the data and how to avoid manual updates. And yes, we show you how to create stunning visuals in Excel.
Our course teaches you not just to make great-looking charts and graphs but also to master Excel’s shortcuts and functions that speed up your work.
Our course will take you through a step-by-step learning plan. From Excel chart basics to advanced dynamic charts and automation.
Wow your coworkers and managers with smart time-saving techniques.
