MICROSOFT EXCEL 2016

Microsoft Excel 2016 - the efficient single user calculation program

Excel 2016, the classic Microsoft program for creating complex calculations, once again offers in the current version a wealth of functions and tools to make daily work with figures and tables easier and to perform complex calculations. New features include One-Click Forecasting for determining and displaying trends, an enhanced Power Query for incorporating data sources such as SAP Business Objects, Hadoop, and Salesforce, and improved PowerPivot functions for faster data analysis.

Excel 2016 is also optimized for collaborative document collaboration and real-time document delivery. By integrating OneDrive and SharePoint, users can work on Excel files together in the cloud, whether in the office, at home or on the road: with a click, they are immediately transferred to the cloud, including individual sharing or usage rights, to protect sensitive data even on the network.

To this end, intelligent wizards such as "Insights", which links Excel with Microsoft Bing search, and "Tell Me", which helps users select suitable functions for editing documents, make working with Excel 2016 even easier.

New Office are also available for Excel 2016: "Dark grey" has particularly strong contrasts, the "Coloured" design offers a modern look.

The improved touch operation also makes it much easier to use Excel on corresponding end devices.

Microsoft Excel 2016 is available outside the Office as a low-priced single license in the Wiresoft Software Shop. The following overview shows you what this proven calculation software offers a user when purchasing it.

New functions in Excel 2016

Excel 2016 contains among others the following extensions of existing functions as well as completely new tools:

• PROGNOSE.ETS: In earlier versions of Excel, only linear forecasts could be created. With the new PROGNOSE.ETS function, it is now possible to generate short-term alternative future forecasts (including best & worst cases) based on exponential smoothing (ETS) algorithms and to make these available in the form of a forecast sheet.
• Interactive charts in pivot tables: Especially with complex pivot tables, the newly integrated Business Intelligence functions provide a better overview for calculations. In addition to the option of grouping time values by quarter or month, these also include the drilldown navigation familiar from Online Analytical Processing (OLAP).
• LET function: In Excel 2016, this function improves the computing power as well as the readability and combinability by allowing individual ranges within a formula to be named.
• View filter: With the new filter view it is possible to hide all sortings and filters of other employees while working together to improve the own clarity of an Excel file.

In addition, these formulas are also available in Excel 2016:

• FIRST VALUE: This formula behaves similar to SVERWEISE, but unlike this one, it no longer requires a reference list.
• TEXT CHAINS concatenates numbers or texts to a text, the separator can be defined in the formula. Compared to concatenate, empty cells can be ignored and line breaks can be anchored directly in the formula.
• TEXT CHAIN: replaces the previous function CHAIN.
• IF makes nested IF formulas superfluous. It is now sufficient to string together all the conditions.
• MAXWENNS is used to determine the maximum value from a series of numbers under certain conditions.
• MINWENNS carries out corresponding calculations for minimum values.

New chart types in Excel 2016

In Excel 2016, six new chart types integrated into Office are now available to illustrate different calculations. These are the following charts:

• Waterfall: This bar chart can be used to transparently show how a starting value is further changed by various positive and negative values.
• Histogram: This type is used to display the frequency distribution of certain classes. To use it with the new Excel 2016, it is sufficient to select the corresponding data sets so that a histogram is automatically stored with classes.
• Treemap: A treemap diagram is a graphical representation of the relationships in a hierarchical structure.
• Pareto: The Pareto chart is an extended histogram to show the absolute value as well as the relative proportion. On the one hand, the columns are arranged according to size and on the other hand, the respective percentage share of a total value is represented by a second axis.
• Sunburst: The sunburst diagram visualizes hierarchical data in the form of concentric rings. It shows relationships between hierarchies, which are represented by corresponding distributions on the rings.
• Box graphic: Also known as box plot or box & whiskers, it is primarily used to visualize statistical evaluations in the form of quartiles, the medians and "outliers".

The "Recommended Charts" feature included in Excel 2016 provides support in selecting the most suitable chart type for a calculation. To use this feature, simply select the relevant data with the mouse and you will receive a selection of matching suggestions as a live preview with real data.

New cross-program individual functions in Office 2016

Excel 2016 also includes a number of other handy tools and wizards that are also available in other programs in the Office 2016 Office to help users work efficiently across all applications.

"Insights" Wizard

The Insights wizard is available directly in Excel 2016 to help users find an explanation or additional information about the terms or information contained in a table. Instead of switching to the Internet to search for matching search results, all they have to do is select a particular expression with the mouse - a click activates the Bing-based Intelligent Search directly in Excel and "Insights" displays the search results on the side of the Excel window.

"Tell Me" Wizard

This wizard - in English: "You wish" - in the Excel menu band supports especially users without any previous knowledge in executing functions. Recognizable by the icon in form of a light bulb, it facilitates the use of Excel 2016: the assistant offers a search field that can be activated by simply typing in one or more terms that indicate what the user wants to do in an Excel document. "Tell Me" shows where the corresponding function is located in the menu bar and offers further assistance to perform the action in question, if necessary. This makes Excel easier to use, especially for beginners.

Freehand formula input

Freehand formula input is a feature that is particularly useful for Excel 2016, allowing mathematical formulas to be inserted directly into a document. Using the mouse or touch input, they are first created freehand and then directly embedded as text in a workbook.

Easier sharing of Excel documents

Excel spreadsheets and can be shared even faster and easier with other users in the 2016 version of Excel: The "Share" function contained in the menu bar offers a number of options for the respective document: With a click, the individual addressees can be determined and individual rights can be assigned: for reading or editing, etc.

"Version History" for more efficient collaboration in Excel

Due to the possibility of working together on an Excel document simultaneously - as is often the case in the cloud, for example - it is often difficult to keep track of which participant is currently making which changes and when. For this purpose, the "Version History" function provides the version history for each document, in which older editing states are not only displayed, but also made available again for renewed editing.

Using OneDrive in Excel 2016

OneDrive, Microsoft's versatile cloud storage for web-based file sharing, can now also be used in Excel 2016. With the integration of OneDrive, users can store Excel documents there so that they are now accessible from anywhere and on any device. OneDrive also enables local independent collaboration on Excel files.

Data Loss Protection in Excel 2016

By integrating Microsoft Data Loss Protection (DLP), its features can also be used in Excel documents to prevent data loss and protect sensitive data. Administrators use DLP in particular to set policies for the creation and release of content that contains sensitive information, so that when a potential security risk is identified, users are alerted or prevented from sharing. DLP services are available in Excel 2016 through SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.
