Select a line chart type.  \nClick on the OK button and the chart will now look like this.  \nSave your changes and close the workbook.  \nChanging the chart type for a particular data series.  \nOpen a workbook called Chart Types.  \nClick on the second data series within the chart (in the example illustrated we clicked on one of the columns, representing the data for the West sales region).  \nRight click and you will see a pop-up menu displayed.  \nFrom the pop-up menu displayed, select Chart Series Chart Type. This will display the Change Chart Type dialog box.  \nSelect the required chart type, and if necessary chart sub-type. In this case, select a Line chart.  \nClick on the OK button to change the chart type, as seen below.  \nExperiment with applying other chart types. Save your changes and close the workbook.  \nAdding a data series to a chart.  \nOpen a workbook called Adding a Data Series.  \nThis workbook contains a chart that is only displaying information relating to the East region.  \nYou can select a data range from your worksheet and add this to the chart. To add information related to the West region to the chart we need to select the data relating to the West region, as illustrated.  \nPress Ctrl+C to copy the selected data to the Clipboard. Click on the chart to select it and press Ctrl+V to paste the data to the chart.
