Here you can change everything under the sun when it comes to your new chart. That’s great, but what if I wanted to visualize the data in a different way? Well, by default, once the chart is added, you’ll see a new section at the top of the ribbon called Chart Tools with three tabs: Design, Layout and Format. Each student has four bars for their respective test scores. In the above example, I see each person along the X axis and the test scores on the Y axis. Creating a chart is easy, but what you can do with your chart after making it is what makes Excel such a great tool. That’s it! You have created your first graph/chart in Excel and it literally takes just a few minutes. So now Excel will create the chart based on the data and dump it somewhere on your sheet. There are many options! Also, don’t worry because if you pick a chart you don’t like, you can easily change to another chart type with just a click of your mouse. Click on Column and then select the type of chart you would like. For our example, we will try use a column chart to visualize the data. If you want a different type of chart, just click on Other Charts. A little to the right, you’ll see the Charts section as shown below.īy default, it tries to list out the most common types of charts such as Column, Line, Pie, Bar, Area, and Scatter. In the example above-with 3%, 3%, and 4%-you might enter 5%.Now that your data is selected as shown above, go ahead and click on the Insert tab on the ribbon interface. If you’re splitting the series by value or percent value: in the Values less than box, type a different number. If you’re splitting the series by position: in the Values in second plot box, enter the number of positions you want (such as 3 if you want the 3 smallest). To change how many data points appear in the secondary chart, you have two options:
To change what displays in the secondary pie, click the piece of pie you’re expanding, and then in the Split Series By box of the Format Data Series pane-click the type of data to display in the secondary chart. Right-click the chart and then click Change Series Chart Type.Ĭlick Pie, and then click Pie of Pie or Bar of Pie. If you don’t indicate how many data points should appear in the secondary pie or stack, the chart will automatically include the three smallest.
In the example below, a pie-of-pie chart adds a secondary pie to show the three smallest slices. These chart types separate the smaller slices from the main pie chart and display them in a secondary pie-or stacked bar chart. Pie-of-pie and bar-of-pie charts make it easier to see small slices of a pie chart. Draw attention to small slices in a pie-of-pie or bar-of-pie chart Tip: You can also give your pie chart a different perspective by Rotating a chart.
