Well, a chart in a worksheet can be worth a thousand numbers! Charts are used to summarise data, reflecting proportions, trends, and anomalies in your data far more effectively.  \nThe really neat feature of charting in Excel is just how easy it is to create a brand new chart.  \nIn this booklet you will:  \n9 gain an understanding of how charts are created and presented in Excel  \n9 gain an overview of different chart types  \n9 learn how to create a new chart in Microsoft Excel  \n9 learn how to work with an embedded chart  \n9 learn how to resize a chart  \n9 learn how to drag a chart to another location  \n9 learn how to print an embedded chart  \n9 learn how to create a chart sheet  \n9 learn how to change the chart type of an existing chart  \n9 learn how to change the chart layout of an existing chart  \n9 learn how to change the style of a chart  \n9 learn how to print a chart sheet  \n9 learn how to embed a chart into a worksheet  \nINFOCUS  \n© Learning and Development Service Page 2 Creating charts  \nMicrosoft Excel 2010-Level 1  \nUNDERSTANDING THE CHARTING PROCESS  \nCharts provide a visual way of seeing trends in the data in your worksheet. The charting feature in Excel is extremely flexible and powerful and allows you to  \ncreate a wide range of charts from the worksheet data. But the beauty of the charting process is that it is delightfully easy and simple – once you know how.  \nThe Charting Process  \nThere’s no rocket science here – to create a new chart you simply select the data that you want to graph then, from the Insert tab of the Ribbon, choose the type of chart you want. As soon as you have clicked on the desired chart type a new chart will be embedded in the active worksheet.  \n1 Embedded Charts  \nCharts that appear within a worksheet are known as embedded charts. A chart is really an object that sits on top of the worksheet – unlike numbers and letters, charts are not actually placed into worksheet cells.  \n2 Chart Sheets  \nIf you want to keep your chart separate from the data you can move the chart to its own sheet. Chart sheets make it easier and more convenient to work with your chart because you’ll see more of it on the screen – since the data is not there!  \n© Learning and Development Service Page 3 Creating charts  \nMicrosoft Excel 2010-Level 1  \nCHOOSING THE CHART TYPE  \nA chart is far more effective at communicating results, outcomes or trends than a table of figures displaying the same information . Different chart types have been created to communicate different  \ntypes of information. Some charts show simple relationships between values, while others are designed for quite technical purposes. Here is a summary of the use of different chart types.  \nChart Type  \nColumn, Bar, Cylinder, Cone, Pyramid  \nLine, Area  \nSurface  \nPie, Doughnut  \nUse  \nThese chart types, either in 2D or 3D, are used to compare values across categories. For example, they could compare the populations of different countries.  \nLines in 2D or 3D are perfect for showing trends such as sales or employment figures. An area chart is basically a line chart with the area below the line filled in.  \nThe surface chart plots trends in two dimensions. You could use this to plot departmental sales figures over time. The chart then shows you the trends between departments, as well as the sales trends over time.  \nIf you want to show proportion, such as the sales figures from different departments that make up a total, then the pie and doughnut charts are for you . The doughnut chart varies only from the pie chart in that it can display more than one series of values.  \nTechnical Chart Options  \nStock The stock chart type has been designed to show the stock  \nfigures for a day, and the trend over time. At its simplest, you can plot the high, low and close figures, and at ","cbCaim3J1Z0nmwaw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim3J1Z0nmwaw","pdf",1766218,"English","# UNDERSTANDING THE CHARTING PROCESS\n## Embedded Charts\n## Chart Sheets\n# CHOOSING THE CHART TYPE\n## Technical Chart Options\n# CREATING A NEW CHART\n## Selecting the correct data\n## Try This Yourself","[{\"question\":\"How do you create a new embedded chart in Excel?\",\"answer\":\"Select the data you want to graph, then use the Insert tab on the Ribbon to choose the desired chart type.
