Excel 2010 "technical preview" Follow up

What's New in Excel 2010
Here are some different that I found it on interface between the 2007 and 2010.
However, I think there should be more in the 2010 release.

In general, there some enhancement on graphics, charts(Sparklines), pivot table (Slicer).
The help there are still in 2007 version.

Excel option, date format

Excel Option Cursor movement (Not sure what it is yet)




Excel option:Pivot table: Prevent hang when undoing

Excel option: Customizable Ribbon finally...


Review unsaved draft version of this excel, they put this visually finally..





An IQ test? All wordings were changed into small icons



Extra "All merging conditional formats" option



Screen clipping(capturing tool) and sparklines


3 Types of sparklines


Images format + background removal


Slicer for pivot table, display selection quickly


VBA... Seems nothing new there, still 6.5

Excel 2010 and SQL2008 R2 Gemini

A screenshot from SQL 2008 R2 Preview

Nice to to see Gemini in SQL08 R2.
So what is Gemini? you may refer it as an upgrade on Analysis Service.
Gemini can handle a large amount of data and relationship in a "lighting" speed.
Anyway, from the points that the add-in is provided for Excel 2010 instead of Excel 2007,
we should see a much more efficient operation with Excel 2010
