Types of charts in spreadsheet

Excel provides you different types of charts that suit your purpose. Based on the type of data,
you can create a chart. You can also change the chart type later.

Excel offers the following major chart types −

Column Chart: Column Chart typically displays the categories along the horizontal (category)
axis and values along the vertical (value) axis. To create a column chart, arrange the data in
columns or rows on the worksheet.

Line Chart : Line charts can show continuous data over time on an evenly scaled Axis.
Therefore, they are ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals, such as months, quarters
or years.

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. To create a
Pie Chart, arrange the data in one column or row on the worksheet.

Doughnut Chart: Doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole. It is similar to a Pie
Chart with the only difference that a Doughnut Chart can contain more than one data series,
whereas, a Pie Chart can contain only one data series.

Bar Chart : Bar Charts illustrate comparisons among individual items. In a Bar Chart, the
categories are organized along the vertical axis and the values are organized along the
horizontal axis.

Area Chart : Area Charts can be used to plot the 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.

XY (Scatter) Chart : XY (Scatter) charts are typically used for showing and comparing numeric
values, like scientific, statistical, and engineering data.
A Scatter chart has two Value Axes −
Horizontal (x) Value Axis
Vertical (y) Value Axis

Bubble Chart: A Bubble chart is like a Scatter chart with an additional third column to specify the
size of the bubbles it shows to represent the data points in the data series.
