What kind of oomph are you looking for? Remember there's a fine line
between embellishing a chart and obscuring the data, or at least
distracting the viewer's attention.

You might consider at least replacing the dull gray background with
plain white, and using more interesting (primary) colors for the data
series. Data labels in the chart itself, rather than a legend. Faint
gray gridlines, rather than black.

Hi there,

I've got a whole bunch of charts that I really want to make look good.
However, Excel is somewhat limited in its formatting options.

Can anyone suggest a plugin I might use to give the graphs a bit of
extra 'oomph'?

Thanks in advance,
