However, you can download a free third-party tool that offers similar functionality: StatPlus:mac LE.
Quick Analysis Tool In Excel
Quick Analysis helps you to visualize very quickly how you can display your data in a Chart, a Table, Conditional Formatting, Sparklines, …
But it is also possible to remove this option (end of the post).
Presentation
When you select a range of cells in Excel 2013, a small icon appears in the bottom right corner.
When you click on that icon, a new toolbar with five tools will be displayed.
- Format
- Charts
- Totals
- Tables
- Sparklines
All these tools already exist in the previous versions of Excel, but not many users are aware of them. With Quick Analysis in Excel 2013, you just need to click on one of these options to preview how these tools can present your data.
Format
In this tab, you’ll find a preview of the most useful options of conditional formatting. Hover your mouse pointer over the icons, and you can see the suggested format in the original cells.
If you want to apply one of these formats, just click the icon in the tool bar.
Charts
When you use the Chart preview, it’s best to include the headers in the selection. Then, you can immediately preview the charts with the legends.
Quick Analysis In Excel 2010
Totals
Excel can show different basic calculations like sum, count, or average. This tab is similar to the Σ icon in the Home tab.
Tables
This tab is similar to the Recommended Pivot Table. Here you can visualize some pivot table presentations that relate to the data you have selected.
Sparklines
Sparklines are mini-charts in a cell that can show you the trend of your data. You just have to select one of these options to preview the result to the right of your selected data.
Remove this option
if you want, you can remove the Quick Analysis tool by changing one option.
Go to File > Options > General and unchecked the option “Show Quick Analysis options on selection”
Analyzing data in Excel has never been easier if you take advantage of 2013's new Quick Analysis tool. You'll need no special training - select the data, make a choice, and that's it. If you're not paying attention though, you might not know the tool exists! After selecting a data range, you'll notice a small icon appears. That's Quick Analysis! If you're like many Excel 2013 users, you've ignored it, thinking it was one of Excel's annoying error smart tags.

Quick Analysis
Quick Analysis is a contextual tool that provides single-click access to data analysis tools, many of which you're already familiar with:
- Format: Preview and apply some of Excel's most popular conditional formats.
- Charts: Preview and apply specific chart structures. Here's a quick tip: most of the time, you'll want to select the header text when choosing Charts.
- Totals: Preview and insert basic calculations like sum, count, average, and so on.
- Tables: Preview pivot tables.
- Sparklines: Preview and insert sparkline graphics.
None of these tools are new, but they're now available via the icon - no more ribbon surfing! Some of the options are automatic; some require a bit more information from the user. For instance, if you choose Greater Than from the Formatting tab, Excel will prompt you for specific values - greater than what? You've probably used this conditional format before, but you didn't have such quick access to it.
To quickly insert sparklines, select the data, open the icon, click the Sparklines tab, and choose an option. Notice that Excel knows where to put them without additional input from you.
Quick Analysis is more than a shortcut - it's also smart. It won't offer the same options for every data set. It fine-tunes options based on the selected data. For example, Excel recommends column charts for the sample data. It doesn't offer a pie chart or other chart types - on purpose. It's pretty smart, so if you have trouble choosing charts, you'll definitely benefit from the help. (Other charts are still available.)
Use Quick Analysis Tool To Create A Formula
By default, this feature is enabled and I think most users will benefit from it, once they know it's there. If, however, you want to disable it, you can do so quickly:
- Click the File tab and choose Options from the left pane.
- Choose General in the left pane (the default).
- In the User Interface Options section, uncheck the Show Quick Analysis Options On Selection option.
- Click OK.
If you support users and you want to inhibit this feature programmatically, use the ShowQuickAnalysis property. It's a Boolean property and TRUE means the feature's enabled. The following statement will disable Quick Analysis:
