Introduction

An Excel chart or graph is a visual representation of a Microsoft Excel worksheet’s data. These
graphs and charts allow you to see trends, make comparisons, pinpoint patterns, and glean
insights from within the raw numbers. Excel includes countless options for charts and graphs,
including bar, line, and pie charts.

But why use them? Do you need to visualize data when you can just explain it? The answer is
typically yes if you want to help an audience understand and retain the relevant findings.

Understanding charts
Excel has several different types of charts, allowing you to choose the one that best fits
your data. In order to use charts effectively, you'll need to understand how different
charts are used.

In addition to chart types, you'll need to understand how to read a chart. Charts contain
several different elements, or parts, that can help you interpret the data.

Column charts use vertical bars to represent data. They can work with many
different types of data, but they're most frequently used for comparing
information.

Line charts are ideal for showing trends. The data points are connected with
lines, making it easy to see whether values are increasing or decreasing over
time.

Pie charts make it easy to compare proportions. Each value is shown as a slice
of the pie, so it's easy to see which values make up the percentage of a whole.

REFLECTION PAPER

Elhan M. Astarani Jr.


What I Learned:
This project is very convenient because it can help with grading and
organizing class data. I learned that I could select specific cells that I want in my graph. I just cli
ck on one cell and then click shift to click
on the cells I want. I then go to “insert” and insert any graph I want.
There are options such as a bar graph, line, pie and many more. I can put the graph anywhere in
my spreadsheet. I also learned that I could name each spreadsheet. I have not used Excel much th
roughout my life, so I only learned the basics, but I did learn some tips. It seems
like an obvious thing to do but I learned that I can have more than on
spreadsheet at the same time and name each of them. When I first readthe assignment I thought I
had to turn in three different Excel spreadsheets but I learned I can do them all at once.

I can apply this in my future classroom for many reasons. The first
one is to do surveys. I can have students take surveys of their learning style and the activities the
y learn best from. I can use this to better
understand my students and teach them in the most effective way. I
can also collect data from assignments to document who does best on what and who needswork o
n what. I can get averages of what the class-need-work on. This is very convenient because it
will make it easier for me to identify where the issues are and come up with solutions quickly.

Alicia N. Asrie
I learned how to format in Excel, and how to arrange data according to different parameters. I
also learned how to find the average values, and apply other formulas to specific parts of the
data, and gain valuable information from it.

Excel will also make it easy to see student data and manipulate it to easily see how each student
is doing in each content area, and how and where they need the most help. Excel is also a great
organizational tool, which is great in any capacity!
