Sparklines
A sparkline is a small chart in a worksheet cell that provides a visual representation of data. With the sparkline chart, you can show trends in a series of values (ex. seasonal increases or decreases), display economic cycles, and/or highlight maximum and minimum values. Add sparklines to Excel with one line of code using the Infragistics Excel Library. After creating a sparkline, the Infragistics Excel Library provides an intuitive API for styling your sparkline to meet your visualization needs.
