Chart Types Not Native to Excel.

Microsoft Excel allows users to create many chart types, but people have invented many other chart types which at first glance are not possible in Excel. However, Excel's charting capabilities are extremely flexible. So with a little creativity, and with sometimes heroic formatting measures, it's possible to produce many of these chart types in Excel. Below is a partial list of charts which can in fact be made in Excel.
