Creating Charts

Begin by creating a spreadsheet with information that can be graphed.

Example: 

 

In the Menu, under Insert, choose Chart. Notice that there are three tabs. Be sure to choose each of them and make the desired choices.

• Data - select ranges... Be sure the top left and bottom right corners are the cells listed.
• Charts - gives more types of charts to choose from. If you choose a chart that doesn't match your data, you will be warned and it won't allow you to keep that choice.
• Customize - allows you to add a title, change the colors, move the legend and such.

Click the Insert button when you're done.

 

 

The finished Chart will appear on your page. When you click on it once, a small arrow will appear in the upper right hand corner.

 

Clicking on the arrow allows you to make several choices including editing and deleting the chart as shown in the graphic below.
