Analyze Bond Yields with Excel

Hey, I got a project for a course that requires me to analyze changes in US 5-year bond yields over the past year. I have to use Excel to conduct statistical analysis and do up some graphs, any suggestions what sort of things I should be looking for/doing?

Thanks.

Divide the first value by itself to make it "1" in the new "Index" you've created.

Divide the rest by the value of the first number to have the % change over time.

Format as percentages and you have a fancy new chart.

Nothing short of everything will really do.
