Creating Charts to Present Your Data

In this chapter, I'll show you how to create clear and compelling charts that present your data exactly as you want it to appear.

We'll start by making sure you understand the ways you can place charts in your workbooks, what the components or charts are, and which types of charts you can create in Excel. We'll then look in detail at how you create a chart from your data, lay it out the way you want, and then give it the look it needs—everything from adding a chart title and axis titles to adding a picture to the chart wall for visual appeal.
