Chart Types in Office

This document provides an overview of 11 different types of charts in Excel: column charts, line charts, pie charts, doughnut charts, bar charts, area charts, scatter (X-Y) charts, bubble charts, stock charts, surface charts, and radar charts. For each chart type, it briefly describes the type of data it is suited for and how the data should be arranged.

1. COLUMN CHART
Data that’s arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can
be plotted in a column chart. A column chart typically
displays categories along the horizontal (category) axis and
values along the vertical (value) axis, as shown in this chart:
2. LINE CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be plotted in
a line chart. In a line chart, category data is distributed evenly along the
horizontal axis, and all value data is distributed evenly along the vertical
axis. Line charts can show continuous data over time on an evenly scaled
axis, so they're ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals, like
months, quarters, or fiscal years.
3. PIE CHART
Data that's arranged in one column or row on a worksheet
can be plotted in a pie chart. Pie charts show the size of
items in one data series, proportional to the sum of the
items. The data points in a pie chart are shown as a
percentage of the whole pie.
4. DOUGHNUT CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows only on a worksheet can
be plotted in a doughnut chart. Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart
shows the relationship of parts to a whole, but it can contain
more than one data series.
5. BAR CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be
plotted in a bar chart. Bar charts illustrate comparisons among
individual items. In a bar chart, the categories are typically
organized along the vertical axis, and the values along the
horizontal axis.
6. AREA CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be
plotted in an area chart. Area charts can be used to plot change
over time and draw attention to the total value across a trend. By
showing the sum of the plotted values, an area chart also shows
the relationship of parts to a whole.
7. X AND Y CHART
Data that's arranged in columns and rows on a worksheet can be
plotted in an xy (scatter) chart. Place the x values in one row or
column, and then enter the corresponding y values in the
adjacent rows or columns.
8. BUBBLE CHART
Much like a scatter chart, a bubble chart adds a third column to
specify the size of the bubbles it shows to represent the data
points in the data series.
9. STOCK CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows in a specific order on a
worksheet can be plotted in a stock chart. As the name implies,
stock charts can show fluctuations in stock prices. However, this
chart can also show fluctuations in other data, like daily rainfall or
annual temperatures. Make sure you organize your data in the
right order to create a stock chart.
For example, to create a simple high-low-close stock chart,
arrange your data with High, Low, and Close entered as column
headings, in that order.
10. SURFACE CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be
plotted in a surface chart. This chart is useful when you want to
find optimum combinations between two sets of data. As in a
topographic map, colors and patterns indicate areas that are in
the same range of values. You can create a surface chart when
both categories and data series are numeric values.
11. RADAR CHART
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be
plotted in a radar chart. Radar charts compare the aggregate
values of several data series.
