• Interactive diagrams in pivot tables: These newly integrated business intelligence software solutions provide a better overview, especially with complex pivot tables. This includes functions such as the automatic grouping of time values by quarter or month as well as drill-down navigation, which is frequently used in online analytical processing (OLAP).
• LET function: This allows you to name ranges within a formula, which improves the computing power in Excel as well as 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:

• More concise illustration with a brush: To highlight certain elements or sequences during a presentation, presenters can use the integrated brush to direct the attention of the audience instead of using a laser pointer or even a stick as before. 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: No more long presentations and difficulties to use the given presentation time too efficiently: Time-tracking improves personal time management by showing the presenter the time spent during the presentation, allowing him/her to react and make adjustments at any time.
