IBM Planning Analytics Tips & Tricks: Sparklines

 

Tips & Tricks

April 28, 2020

By Dillon Rossman

Are you familiar with Sparklines, a rarely used feature in Excel?

What happens when you’d like to provide a visual representation of data but don’t necessarily want, or have the space, for a big chart? Sparklines may be a viable solution.

To add a Sparkline for data, follow these steps:

  1. Once you have your data, navigate to the Insert Tab > Sparklines. In this scenario a Line Sparkline will be used but there are also options for Column and Win-Loss Sparklines.IBM Planning Analytics Tips & Tricks: Sparklines
  2. Once selected, a dialogue box will show two fields:
    1. A. Data Range – Data that will appear in the Sparkline
    2. B. Location Range – Where the Sparkline will be placed

  3. After filling out the necessary fields, a Sparkline will be created, and the Sparkline Tab will appear. This provides several options to change the appearance of a Sparkline.sparklines in IBM planning analytics

Implementing Sparklines is a very easy and effective way to visualize data without the need for charts.
