Quote HistoryQuoted: PowerBI? Bit of a higher learning curve compared to other MS products, but it will definitely get the job done. I pretty much live in it these days. |

Powerbi looks interesting.
Wonder if it comes with my company 365 subscription. Can I use a data source that's not a SQL database? Like an excel sheet? |

Yep, two of our main reports are based on CSV file input. You have to tweak the query to get the import the way you want it, but it works just fine. ETA: I think PBI is still a free download |

Just now playing around with it.
Question- If I want to do some "shading" vertically, or a plot band, on a line graph, can that be done? Like this:

Like this: https://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-concepts/labels_in_plot_bands_and_lines.png Without being in front of it at the moment, I can't say "go here, click that" and show you how, but the answer is almost certainly yes. The visualization customizations are very robust. |

Tableau is a pretty good visualization program, bit of a learning curve to it.

Yeah, Tableau is pretty good but it’s expensive and their customer support sucks biggly.

Pandas and Matplotlib are probably the most flexible tools to do what you want. Bit of a learning curve. Jupyter notebooks seem to be the most popular way to do it.
It's all free. |

It’s easier than it looks - python has sort of become the non-programmer’s way to do computer stuff over the last few years. There’s a ton of material out there on visualization with Matplotlib and data manipulation with Pandas. |

I would look at R (statistical analysis programming language that can crunch numbers or generate charts/graphs, etc) and either use it stand-alone or tie it in with any number of other programming languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java, C/C++, etc). IIRC one of hte MS SQL versions even comes with R installed and ready to interact with it.

I use DPlot for some of my work. It overlaps with Excel but then goes MUCH farther. It can be run as a stand-alone software package and can be used as an Excel Add-In.
