The Quick Analysis Button
The Quick Analysis button appears when a range is selected in a worksheet. Clicking on the button displays the Quick Analysis gallery which contains quick analysis tools that can be applied to the selected data. The tools have been organised along tabs at the top – FORMATTING, CHARTS, TOTALS, TABLES, and SPARKLINES. When you click on a tab, options specific to that tab are presented.
Using Quick Analysis Tools With Live
Preview Most of the Quick Analysis tools in the Quick Analysis gallery provide a Live Preview of the changes in the worksheet when you point to an option. This is very useful if you are not sure of the formatting or type of analysis you require as it provides you with a preview of what the data would look like if you selected that specific option. At the right we have selected only the totals from the worksheet shown above. We have pointed to options from the TOTALS tab (% Total and Average) and from the FORMATTING tab (Data Bars). Live Preview has either presented another row of analysed data or has formatted the selection accordingly. All of these tools are also available on the ribbon but using the Quick Analysis tools is much quicker.
