Scout out some p

From the exercise of chapter 4:  *****Exercise 4 Attached******
Scout out some public data visualizations (such as in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times) and look for different ways that people show comparison to a benchmark—sometimes it’s a dashed line, sometimes it’s one consistent brand color, and sometimes it’s a simple x on the graph. Find three different ways others have shown comparisons to a target or benchmark.
If you tried to add the benchmark line to the spark-line in that last example, you probably noticed that you can’t format the benchmark line to make it a different color. Or so you think! This is where code comes in handy, as discussed in Chapter 3. Grab code (with gratitude) from this site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff197606%28v=office.15%29.aspx and test out different colors!
Believe it or not, some pretty amazing people have developed plug-ins for Excel that make bullet chart development a relative breeze. Some are free and some cost a bit. Search “bullet chart Excel plug in” to find them. But be a little careful. My plug-in worked fine in Excel 2010 but didn’t work at all when I upgraded to Excel 2013. They can break. They won’t operate for someone else who gets your file with your lovely bullet graphs. For those reasons, I prefer to rely on what Excel contains on its own. Even so, it’s worth it to take a look around at the plug-ins available. Pick one and plug it into Excel. Make a bullet graph and then see if you can reverse-engineer it. Try to explain how the plug-in is maximizing different parts of Excel to craft the graph. Submit all required documentation
