Analyzing data by using the Quick Analysis lens
One of the refinements in Excel 2013 is the Quick Analysis lens, which brings the most commonly used formatting, charting, and summary tools into one convenient location. You have a wide range of tools available to you, including the ability to create an Excel table or PivotTable, insert a chart, or add conditional formatting. You can also add total columns and rows to your data range. For example, you can click Totals and then Running Total for columns, identified by the icon labeled Running Total and the yellow column at the right edge of the button, to add a column that calculates the running total for each row.
