Limitations

Frequently asked questions

Can I restyle the result by hand?
Yes. The visual is built from plain Excel objects; recolor, resize and rewrite it as you like.
Is the result live?
Yes. It works off your data, so when the source cells change, so does the visual.
Is my source table modified?
No. The tool only reads your data; the only addition to the sheet is the visual itself.
Can I try another look on the same data?
Yes. Just reopen the gallery and pick a different template; the earlier visual remains on the sheet.
