Charts
Charts: Charts are a way to easily visualize your data sets in order to present findings or to gain further insights. There are a wide variety of chart types that you can utilize in Microsoft Excel.

Click on “Recommended Charts”, which will generate an “Insert Chart” window a. Within this window you have two tabs: “Recommended Charts” and “All Charts” 1. The “Recommended Charts” tab will give you several charts that are recommended for the specific data set you have chosen 2. The “All Charts” tab will let you dictate the type of chart you want. You will see that on this tab, the left-hand side shows all the different chart types and as you click on them you will see the right-hand pane generate the different subtypes of charts available for that group. b. On the “All Charts” tab, choose the “Line” option from the left-hand pane 1. On the right-hand side look through the various options. If we want to show a trend line with the data points marked, we would choose the option titled “Line with Markers”. Chose this option and click “OK” 2. The below chart will generate 5.

Another set of easy tools is to click on the chart and within the “Chart Design” ribbon click on “Add Chart Element” within the “Chart Layouts” section 1.
