Add a Chart in Excel
Charts and graphs are visual representations of worksheet data.
The best way to learn about the various charts in Excel is to try them out.
Open an Excel file that contains data.
opt for range you want to graph.
To select a range, drag from the first cell to the last cell.
Hover over a chart in the list to see a preview of the chart in the worksheet.
grab the chart format you want to use.
The chart is added to the worksheet.
Graphs are used to illustrate trends over time, and charts illustrate patterns or contain information about frequency.
opt for Excel chart or graph format that best fits your needs.
Excel has many types to select from.
The entire circle of a pie chart represents 100 percent.
The circle is subdivided into slices representing data values.
The size of each slice makes up part of the 100 percent it represents.
These charts display the differences between groups of data.
The bars or columns run horizontally along the page rather than vertically.
The axes change as well.
Each line in the graph shows the change in the value of one item of data.
Similar to most other graphs, line graphs have a vertical axis and a horizontal axis.
When individual data points are connected by lines, they show the change in the data.
Or, use a line chart to plot daily changes in specific stock prices.
Show Trends With Scatter Plot Graphs
Scatter plotgraphs show trends in data.
These graphs are useful when there are a large number of data points.
The data points are scattered about the line.
If the data points are further from the line, there is a negative correlation in the data.
Typically, the two charts are a line graph and a column chart.
There are different types of stock charts available in Excel.
Each shows different information.
