Demo shows four concrete Excel techniques: sparklines, conditional formatting, panel charts and slicer‑driven interactive charts built from a 2,664‑row monthly summary (sourced from millions of transactions) to make big data readable. Workflow uses PowerPivot to import Excel tables, create relationships instead of VLOOKUPs, define portable DAX measures (previous‑year and YoY %), and refresh with one click. Files stay compact; examples run on 60k rows but claim support for millions/hundreds of millions and publish to Power BI / SharePoint.
