Charts

How do I get started with charts

RE: charts

Hi Dorab

Thank you for your question - sorry about the delay in responding.

To create a chart:

Firstly you need to identify and select/highlight the spreadsheet data you wish to have represented in the chart. If the data is in adjacent columns or rows, this is easier. If the data is not in adjacent columns or rows (for example, the data is in columns A and D) highlight the first range of cells (in column A) then hold down the CTRL key and keep holding it down while you highlight the second range of cells (in column D). Then you can let go of the CTRL key and the mouse.

Secondly find the Chart Wizard button on the standard toolbar, and click it. This will take you through a 4 step process for creating your chart.

1. Select the type of chart
2. Preview the chart, and use the Series tab to make any adjustments if necessary.
3. Add chart titles and axes titles
4. Decide where you want the chart to be displayed - on the same sheet as the data or on it's own separate sheet.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Hide columns in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

If you don’t want part of the Excel worksheet to be visible or when you don’t want certain data to appear in print outs, then a simple solution is to temporarily hide a column or multiple columns.

Hiding a single column:

1)Right click on the column header of the column you want to hide (this is the grey bar along the top edge of the worksheet)
2)Choose Hide from the menu
3)This column will now be hidden from view

Hide more than one column:

1)In the column header drag select to highlight the columns you want hidden
2)Right click and choose Hide from the menu
