Charts

When creating a chart do you have to put the data labels and chart titles etc on individually from the ribbon or can you do it all together as in Office 2003

RE: Charts

Hi Susan, thanks for your query. It is all ribbon based now, I'm afraid. The 2003 version had a rather lengthy wizard to walkthrough chart creation, but from 2007 you need to trigger these settings yourself. If you want it automated, you'll need to pick up some VBA!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
