Summary

We've covered a wide variety of techniques in this chapter! We looked at advanced visualizations, sheet swapping, dynamic dashboards, some advanced mapping techniques, including supplementing geographic data, custom territories, spatial objects, and using custom background images. We concluded by considering possibilities with animation and transparency.

There is no way to cover every possible visualization type or technique or way of solving problems. Instead, the idea has been to demonstrate some of what can be accomplished using a few advanced techniques. The examples in this chapter build on the foundations laid in the preceding chapters. From here, you will be able to creatively modify and combine techniques in new and innovative ways to solve problems and achieve incredible results! Next, we'll turn our focus to how to share those results.
