A chart is a type of visual information that represents numerical data and/or functions. Charts are commonly used so that large quantities of data can be more easily understood, and relationships between different parts of the data can be more clearly seen. Charts can usually be read more easily and quickly than reading data that is still raw or still in a table.


Charts in Excel

With the charting capabilities provided by Microsoft Excel 2007, the process of converting raw data into meaningful information is very easy to do.

Charts are preceded by data. In Excel 2007, you just need to select the data in the worksheet, choose the type of chart that suits your needs, then it's done. If you don't like it, just choose another type of chart that has many kinds.

Once you have the chart you want, you can save it as a template, either in Excel or in Word 2007.
