Choosing Advanced Graph Options

Microsoft Graph offers a number of advanced graphing techniques that you can explore using the abundant information in Microsoft Graph Help. You can:

• Add trendlines derived from regression analysis to show a trend in existing data and make predictions .

• Create a moving average, a sequence of averages from grouped data points, that smooths the fluctuations in data so you can more easily identify trends.

• Add error bars that express the degree of uncertainty attached to a given data series.

• Add drawing objects, including arrows, text boxes, and pictures, to your charts .

• Fill chart elements such as bars, areas, and surfaces with textures, imported pictures, or gradient fills.

• Animate bars, data points, or other chart data for added multimedia impact.
