TimeStamps of the video

  • 03:21 Webinar Starts
  • 04:06 Insert / Insights / Task Pane
  • 05:29 Blue line chart becomes PivotChart on a new worksheet! Really cool.
  • 07:34 Bug in Insights. The chart does not update if you add records.
  • 09:39 – Insights test on a lot of data with only 4 columns. It didn’t pick up the months.
  • 10:20 Two PivotCharts created with Insights.
  • 11:45 Added two functions, Year and Month, to data since Insights isn’t picking up months.

Insights uses your data and immediately shows you Charts and PivotCharts you can use. To use a Chart / PivotChart, simply click on Insert. An Internet connection is required for Insights to work.

Per Microsoft’s blog – Insights in Excel

Dec 2017 – Insights is a new service that automatically highlights patterns it detects, which makes it easier for everyone to explore and analyze their data. Powered by machine learning, Insights helps identify trends, outliers, and other useful visualizations, providing new and useful perspectives on data.
