<h1>Insert Sparklines</h1>
<h3>Using Sparklines</h3>
<p>Sparkline is a small chart that fits into a cell to represent trends or variations of data. Sparklines have limited functionality compared with regular charts but are an excellent tool to quickly analyze your data and to create a concise visual representation. Sparkline size depends on the size of the cell, change cell width and length to adjust the size. After adding a sparkline, you can still type text or add conditional formatting into the cell. ONLYOFFICE <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/spreadsheet-editor.aspx" target="_blank" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)"> <b>Spreadsheet Editor</b></a> offers three types of sparklines:</p>
<p><div class = "big big-sparklines_types"></div> </p>
<ul>
<li><b>Column</b> is similar to a regular <b>Column Chart</b>.</li>
<li><b>Line</b> is similar to a regular <b>Line Chart</b>.</li>
<li><b>Win/Loss</b> is suitable for representing data that include both positive and negative values.</li>
</ul>

<p><i>Low Point</i> use it to highlight the minimum value.</p>
<p><i>Negative Point</i> use it to highlight negative values.</p>
<p><i>First Point</i> use it to highlight the starting point in the data range.</p>

</li>
</ul>

<p>The <b>Type &amp Data</b> tab allows you to change the sparkline <b>Type</b> and <b>Style</b> as well as specify the <b>Hidden and Empty cells</b> display settings:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Show empty cells as</b> - this option allows you to control how sparklines are displayed if some cells in a data range are empty. Select the necessary option from the list:
<ul>
<li><b>Gaps</b> - to display the sparkline with gaps in place of missing data,</li>
<li><b>Zero</b> - to display the sparkline as if the value in an empty cell was zero,</li>
<li><b>Connect data points with line</b> (available for the <b>Line</b> type only) - to ignore empty cells and display a connecting line between data points.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Show data in hidden rows and columns</b> - check this box if you want to include values from the hidden cells into sparklines.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="Sparkline Advanced Settings window" src="../images/sparkline_advancedsettings2.png" /></p>
<p>The <b>Axis Options</b> tab allows you to specify the following <b>Horizontal/Vertical Axis</b> parameters:</p>

<li>

<b>Minimum/Maximum Value</b>
<ul>
<li><b>Auto for Each</b> - this option is selected by default. It allows you to use own minimum/maximum values for each sparkline. The minimum/maximum values are taken from the separate data series that are used to plot each sparkline. The maximum value for each sparkline will be located at the top of the cell, and the minimum value will be at the bottom.
<p><div class = "big big-autoforeach"></div></p>
</li>
<li><b>Same for All</b> - this option allows you to use the same minimum/maximum value for the entire sparkline group. The minimum/maximum values are taken from the whole data range that is used to plot the sparkline group. The maximum/minimum values for each sparkline will be scaled relative to the highest/lowest value within the range. If you select this option, it will be easier to compare several sparklines.
<p><div class = "big big-sameforall"></div></p>
</li><li><b>Fixed</b> - this option allows you to set a custom minimum/maximum value. The values which are lower or higher than the specified ones are not displayed in the sparklines.</li>
