Abstract

We consider how to create animations with Microsoft Excel. We present the capabilities of the drawing and auditing tools, dynamic graphs, and special effects of cells. Combining these features with the integrated Visual Basic programming language provides the user with an easy-to-use platform for versatile educational visualisations.
