• Implementation of Sparklines easier than ever before

  cdolan1July 24, 2006

  Pros

  SparkMaker is an excellent tool for generating 6 different types of Sparklines quickly and effectively. SparkMaker allows the user to create a Sparkline through the use of a dialog box or Excel function. The two different methods allow the user to easily select the type and features associated with each Sparkline. The features include, but are not limited to scales, coloring, standard deviation and number format. SparkMaker is also a flexible tool and each Sparkline can be imported into several different programs including Access and Crystal Reports. <p> <p>It is definitely worth the small fee associated after the free trial.

  Cons

  One limitation of the SparkMaker is the inability to specify certain features using the Excel Function. An example of this is color type of bars. For typical use the dialog box is a feasible alternative, but for complex data systems that require automation and the capacity to import/export some manual implementation is still necessary. Secondly, if exporting into programs other than Word or Excel is a priority the Sparkline may not be supported in .html.
