Excel Chart Zoom Add-In
Presentation
Up to day, one of the main missing functionality in Microsoft Excel is that there is no easy way to zoom onto charts.
The objective of this light Excel add-in (.xlam file) is to allow user to realize simple operations on charts like: box zoom, zoom out, auto scale and hand move. It has been tested under Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 32bits and 64bits.
Once the add-in installed the user can add zoom buttons on any compatible chart by going into the ChartZoom tab which appears when a chart is selected. Once zoom operations done buttons can easily be removed by pressing the little cross.
Following video shows you the functionalities of the add-in.
