Creating a Graph Chart

graphics/microsoft17.gif

A chart is a graphical representation that makes numerical data more visual and easier to grasp. With Microsoft Graph Chart, you can create a chart in Office programs by entering your numbers and labels or by import data in the datasheet , a spreadsheet-like grid of rows and columns that holds your data in cells (intersections of rows and columns). Each data series , all the data from a row or column, has a unique color or pattern on the chart. The cell you select in the datasheet becomes the active cell, which appears with a heavy border. If you type data into a cell that already contains data, your entry replaces the active cell's contents.
