A Chart represents data as symbols, bars, lines or
slices of a pie. The data can be tabular (rows and columns in a
table), functions (a collection of all ordered pairs, or curve
mapping) or structural. People read charts better than they read columns
of data. A chart should tell the story of this data as quickly a
possible without a lot of distractions. This lesson demonstrates how to create
and format a Chart with the Chart Tools (Chart Layout and Chart
Design) so
that the data is easy to figure out and understand. Start Microsoft Excel. When the Welcome screen appears, open a new, blank workbook.
What do you see from the top of the
screen? Is there a Home Ribbon? And the Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data. Review and View Ribbons as well? Yes.
