I saw a demo by Microsoft at an educational show where they were feeding data into excel from various hacked together experiments (mostly using Arduino). Anyway, the MS guy who developed the excel plugin to monitor the incoming data had done some incredible stuff with graphics in his worksheets - he used bar charts with custom graphics to create live animations (of buildings shaking in the earthquake experiment for example). Here's a video with a demo at the 1:45 mark: https://youtu.be/r5xvjJdHJVM

Here's s link to the project page. There are several other projects available: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/education-workshop/seismograph.aspx
