SparkCode Professional is an add-in for excel that lets you create sparklines - data intense, design simple graphics that are as small as a cell - using truetype fonts. It creates charts and graphs by using specially designed fonts to represent them. This means the generated graphs (lines, dots, columns) are actually text strings that are as big as the text surrounding them. This has the effect of making the graphics very portable across different applications as long as they support text and fonts.
This also presents an very elegant way of embedding tiny charts within paragraphs of text. Because of their text nature, the sparklines are very easily handled within excel. You can place these sparklines alongside each other in nearby cells to compare them to spot trends, or put appropriate labels beside them to describe what they represent. Version 2 supports bullet graphs, bar graphs, and distribution graphs.
