Uses of Major Chart Types Column charts are used to compare values across categories by using vertical bars.

Line charts are used to display trends over time. Use a line chart if you have text labels, dates or a few numeric labels on the horizontal axis.

Pie charts are used to display the contribution of each value (slice) to a total (pie). Pie charts always use one data series.

Enter your data into the Excel spreadsheet in table format. Your data should have column headers, row headers and data in the middle to make the most out of your graph. In Excel, "columns" refer to vertical depth. "Rows," on the other hand, refer to horizontal distance. With your cursor, highlight the cells that contain the information that you want to appear in your graph. If you want the column labels and the row labels to show up in the graph, ensure that those are selected also. With the text selected, click Insert → Chart. In some versions of Excel, you can also try navigating to the Charts tab in the Ribbon tab and selecting the specific kind of graph you'd like to use. This will create your a graph on a “chart sheet.” A chart sheet is basically a spreadsheet page within a workbook that is totally dedicated to displaying your graph. For Windows users, you can create a graph with a shortcut by hitting the F11 button on your keyboard. Change your graph to fit your needs. Select the perfect kind of graph depending on what information you have and how you want to present it. Change your chart on the Chart toolbar, which appears after your chart is created. Click on the arrow next to the Chart Type button and click on the whatever type of chart you'd like.
