Understanding Charts

A chart is a graphical representation of data or the relationships among data sets. Charts display complex data in an easy-to-assimilate format. Figure 13-49shows the parts of a basic bar chart. A chart displays data as one or more sets of points. The chart organizes data points into sets of values called series. The two types of series are:

Category series— The category series typically determines what text, numbers, or dates you see on the x-axis.

Value series—The value series typically determines the text, numbers, or dates on the y-axis.

In Figure 13-49, the category series contains a set of regions, and the value series contains a set of sales figure values.
