- 2. What is MS Excel? Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. Microsoft Excel has the basic features of all spreadsheets, using a grid of cells arranged in numbered rows and letter-named columns to organize data manipulations like arithmetic operations.
- 3. Types Of Charts In MS Excel • Pie Chart • Column Chart • Line Chart • Bar Chart • Area Chart • Scatter Chart • Other Chart Types
- 4. Pie Chart A Pie Chart can only display one series of data. Excel uses the series identifier as the chart title (e.g. Flowers) and displays the values for that series as proportional slices of a pie. If we had selected multiple series of data, Excel would ignore all but the first series. There are sub-types of the Pie Chart available. The second chart is the Pie in 3-D and the third chart is an Exploded Pie Chart; an Exploded Pie in 3-D is also available.
- 5. Column Chart The Column Chart very effectively shows the comparison of one or more series of data points. But the Clustered Column Chart is especially useful in comparing multiple data series. In the first chart image, we plotted the data points in all three series: Flowers, Shrubs, and Trees. Because Excel uses a different color for each data series, we can easily see how a single series changes over time. The Column chart can be represented as a 3-D Column Chart of our data series.
- 6. Line Chart The Line Chart is especially effective in displaying trends. In a Line Chart, the vertical axis (Y-axis) always displays numeric values and the horizontal axis (X-axis) displays time or other category. You may choose each Line Chart type with or without markers. The Line Chart is equally effective in displaying trends for multiple series as shown in our chart at right. As you will notice, each line is a different color. This image shows a Line Chart without markers.
- 7. Bar Chart The Bar Chart is like a Column Chart lying on its side. The horizontal axis of a Bar Chart contains the numeric values. The chart below is the Bar Chart for our single series, Flowers. When to use a Bar Chart versus a Column Chart depends on the type of data and user preference. Sometimes it is worth the time to create both charts and compare the results. All of the Bar Charts are available in 2-D and 3-D formats, but only the bars are 3-D.
- 8. Area Chart Area Charts are like Line Charts except that the area below the plot line is solid. And like Line Charts, Area Charts are used primarily to show trends over time or other category. There are three charts available: the Area Chart, the Stacked Area Chart, and the 100% Stacked Area Chart. Each of these charts come in 2-D format and in true 3-D format with X, Y, and Z axes.
- 9. Scatter Chart The purpose of a Scatter Chart is to observe how the values of two series compares over time or other category. The Scatter Chart comes in several different formats: markers can indicate the data points; and the points can be unconnected, or connected with smooth or straight lines.
