To Format and Copy the Sparkline Chart
Just as with standard charts, Excel provides formatting options for Sparkline charts. Sparkline chart formatting
is restricted greatly as compared to standard charts. As shown in Figure 3–37, the Show group (Sparkline Tools
Design tab) allows you to highlight various points in the chart. Markers provide a point on the chart for each cell
represented in the chart. The Style group (Sparkline Tools Design tab) allows you to specify the style and color for
the parts of a Sparkline chart.
The steps on the following page format the Sparkline chart in cell I13 using the Style 13 Sparkline chart style.
