Chart Location

Synopsis

When you create a new chart you indicate whether you want to place the chart directly in a worksheet or in a separate chart sheet. Once a chart has been created, you can move it to another location by selecting Chart Chart Location to display the Chart Location dialog shown in Figure 10-21.

When you place a chart on a new sheet it is placed on a chart sheet. This is the best option to select if you only want to print the chart, without the actual data of the worksheet. The chart sheet displays the chart as it will be printed on a sheet of paper (WYSIWYG). If you want to place the chart directly on a worksheet, you can select the “As object in” radio button and then indicate the worksheet where you want to insert the chart in by selecting the down arrow button next to the field.
