Creating a chart is fairly simple:
1. | Make sure that your data is appropriate for a chart. |
2. | Select the range that contains your data. |
3. | Select a chart type by clicking a chart icon in the Insert Charts. These icons display drop-down lists that display subtypes. |
4. | (Optional) Use the commands in the Chart Tools context menu to change the look or layout of the chart or add or delete chart elements. |
Tip
You can create a chart with a single keystroke. Select the range to be used in the chart and press F11. Excel inserts a new chart sheet and displays the chart of the selected data using the default chart type.
