How Do You Make A Column Chart In Excel?
A column chart is a professional way to present many different types of data. Microsoft Excel makes creating these types of charts a snap. With a few clicks, you can transform your data from table form to a visually pleasing column chart that has been formatted to your specifications. Once the chart is complete, you can then use it as an exhibit in a research paper, boardroom presentation, web page, or any other venue where you want to represent your data in a clear and understandable format. Find the file that contains your data and open it in Excel. If you still need to enter your data, open a new workbook instead. Input your data into a spreadsheet in the new workbook. As an example, we will create a small table containing data on the number of books bought at a yard sale. We will categorize the books by genre. Highlight the cells in the spreadsheet that contain your data. For our example, the cells A1-B8 have been highlighted. Choose the “Column” chart option from the “Insert” menu
