One of the cool tricks I think few people know is to create a graph that auto-updates as new data is added to a spreadsheet. This might not be ultra mind-blowing if you have like one graph but think of a document linked to hundreds of Excel graph objects that you need to update every quarter, for example, like earnings reports and financial data.

Simple drag and drop operations allow you to create data sets with filters any way you like. read less
