• Interactive diagrams in pivot tables: These newly integrated business intelligence software solutions provide a better overview, especially in complex pivot tables. This includes functions such as the automatic grouping of temporal values by quarter or month and drilldown navigation, which is frequently used in online analytical processing (OLAP).
• LET function: This makes it possible to name ranges within a formula, which improves the computing power in Excel as well as the readability and combinability.

New PowerPoint features in Office 2016

The new Outlook functions improve, among other things, time management when presenting and

offer a practical way to highlight content:

By doing this in presentation mode, the original PowerPoint presentation remains unchanged.
• Share function: Thanks to the clearer design of the share function, presentations can now be published more easily and quickly via social media.
• Timetracking: Put an end to excessively long presentations and difficulties in using the given presentation time too efficiently: Time-tracking improves personal time management, because it shows the presenter the time spent during the presentation, so he/she can react and make adjustments at any time.
