New features

1. New handy chart templates

1.1) Dynamic Polyline Chart
If you are working with multiple series of data and want to display only one series dynamically at a time in your chart, this Dynamic Polyline Chart can help you out. This new feature helps to generate a dynamic line chart with a scroll bar and a list box. You can easily select any series in the list box to display only the data trend for that series in the chart and adjust the scroll bar left and right to mark a data point in that series as you need.

2.2) Truncate The Y-axis Chart
Suppose there is a range of data, and some data is extremely huge compared to others. If you create a column chart with the data, the smaller data will not be precise enough in the chart. This new feature helps to easily create a chart that breaks the Y-axis scale at certain start and end data points you specified, making the data in the chart more visual.

2. One-to-many Lookup (returns multiple results)
By default, the VLOOKUP function only returns the first match for a specific lookup value. If you want to return all matches for a lookup value, this new feature is your best choice.

With this feature, you can achieve:
2.1) Lookup and return multiple matching results in a single cell;
-- The results can be separated by commas, spaces, newlines, or other delimiters you specified.

2.2) In addition to just listing all the matches, mathematical operations such as sum, count, product, average, etc., can be performed on all matching values.

3. Split Data to Rows
This feature is designed to split multiple text entries in a single cell which are delimited with certain character (such as semicolon, space, newline, etc.) into different rows.

4. Clear Advanced Drop-down List
This feature can be used to clear the scope you set for the Multi-select Drop-down List feature, Drop-down List with Check Boxes feature, and the Searchable Drop-down List feature.
