Create a Chart

You can easily create, edit, preview and customize your chart. Enter data into your spreadsheet, and select that range of cells. Then, select Insert > Chart from the toolbar menu to get started.

Once you’ve selected the data you’d like to display in a chart and selected Insert > Chart, you can begin editing, previewing and customizing your chart. In the Start tab of the charts dialog box, you can edit the data range you’d like to display in your chart and preview recommended chart types. Chart types are recommended based on your selected data range. In this tab, you can also swap rows with columns and mark the first column and/or row as labels for the created chart.

In the Charts tab you can browse through all of the chart types to preview your data visualized in various ways.
