What’s New in Microsoft Excel 2010

As the release date of Microsoft Office 2010 draws closer, we are offering a glimpse at the new features, so you can decide if upgrading to the 2010 suite is something to get excited about. Having previously covered Word 2010, in this article we will focus on the new Excel.

Along with the standard suite changes like the new File Tab, Customizable Ribbon and Backstage View, Excel offers some new features for data visualization, formatting and analysis.

Sparklines and Slicers are probably the two coolest features in Excel 2010, since they make it a lot easier to quickly visualize your data. The ribbon improvements will also be appreciated by anyone who didn’t like the Excel 2007 interface. In addition, there are subtle improvements throughout the program to help increase your productivity.

There have been some major additions to Excel 2010 that are targeted toward businesses. One feature is called PowerPivot, and it is a separate, free download that can bring together data from many different sources and let you analyze it within Excel. You’ll also be able to easily share Excel spreadsheets (or any other type of Microsoft Office document) with your coworkers using SharePoint Server 2010, which is a web-based service provided by Microsoft.

Stay tuned as our series on the new suite continues with the launch of Office 2010 on May 12.
