A New Kind of SharePoint Chart and Graph Solution
Christophe Humbert from Path to SharePoint continues to astound me with the work he is doing with inline charts and graphs in SharePoint.
The examples shown below demonstrate some of the techniques he will be delivering in Wednesday’s live online workshop, SharePoint Charts and Graphs: Part 02 (Sparklines). One of the requirements we have for the live online workshops is that all solutions must be capable of being implemented by site managers without recourse to the server. Christophe has come up with solutions that dynamically generate ‘mini’ graphs and charts based upon data stored in a SharePoint list.
What you see in the images are actual size charts dynamically generated from a SharePoint list. Christophe has informed me that not only will he give working examples and web parts for Sparklines, he will be including other solutions for larger charts as well.
If you can make immediate use of charts and graphs in your SharePoint site, would it be worth two hours of your time to find out how to do it, no code required? I thought so. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday at 1:00pm EST for SharePoint Charts and Graphs: Part 02 (Sparklines).
I would really like to participate, however, I have another committment at that time. Will there be a recorded version of the presentation
Hank,
Yes, all of our sessions are recorded and available for purchase, including all resources to implement the solutions.

Hey there,
What I would like to confirm is how to go about creating dashboards and charts w/o WSS Enterprise, we have only standard edition, to my knowledge the enterprise encompasses much more dashboard templates and or capabilities and charting.
Can anyone tell me or send me any links to which I can create custom DASHBOARDS and CHARTS w/o CODE and w/o having the Sharepoint Enterprise License. It seems as though after looking up standard vs enterprise, i am missing alot of attributes that can really take our system to another level…
Melissa,
This workshop with all of its solutions is applicable for WSS. Everything we do in the workshop can be implemented in any version of SharePoint 2007, WSS or MOSS.

Mark,
Just to confirm, what are the dates and time for this workshop coming up and how much and can you confirm as above that you do record and I can access this training via web video?
Thank you so kindly..

Thanks Mark,
I just paid and reserved my online seat…
Looking forward to this…
SharePoint 2007 has limited charting capabilities, even with the enterprise edition. Of course there is Excel Services, but it doesn’t work well with SharePoint lists. This is why we have set up this series of charting workshops.
Melissa, you’ll find many examples of charts and graphs on EndUserSharePoint.com and Path to SharePoint. They can be implemented by site managers, no need to have server access.
btw all the solutions presented in this workshop also apply to SharePoint 2003!
The Charts and Graph: Part 02 (Sparklines) was very informative and helpful workshop. We are now using for our ‘Tasks and Projects’ within the hospital. I look forward to attending more workshops. Keep up the great work!
