Powerful Features

In Excel, it is quite easy to create a column or bar chart. However, the regular column or bar charts may be too common to attract reader’s attention. In this situation, we can change the shape of columns or bars to make them more attractive: slim the columns or bars to lines, and add little circles at the ends of these lines – that’s lollipop chart! Kutools for Excel’s Lollipop Chart feature will help you create a such chart with several clicks at ease.
