This Project aims to develop software, which helps users to organize and analyze data more efficiently. It shows various types of graphical view (Like bar chart, line diagram, scatter chart, pie chart.)And performs scientific Calculations based on user inputs in Excel worksheet. It uses the concept of Macros using VBA, which saves lots of time and effort.
