Overview

Charts make it easy to see patterns and trends in data. For example, instead of analyzing several columns of worksheet numbers, you can see at a glance whether sales are decreasing or increasing over quarterly periods, or how the actual sales compare to the projected sales.

2.Select the cells that contain the data that you want to use for the chart.
