Chart example :

To create the column chart shown above, start by creating the worksheet below exactly as shown.

After you have created the worksheet, you are ready to create your chart.

Exercise 10 Create a Column Chart

.

1. Select cells A3 to D6. You must select all the cells containing the data you want in your chart. You should also include the data labels.

2. Choose the Insert tab.

3. Click the Column button in the Charts group. A list of column chart sub-types types appears.

4. Click the Clustered Column chart sub-type. Excel creates a Clustered Column chart and the Chart Tools context tabs appear.

Apply a Chart Layout

Context tabs are tabs that only appear when you need them. Called Chart Tools, there are three chart context tabs: Design, Layout, and Format. The tabs become available when you create a new chart or when you click on a chart. You can use these tabs to customize your chart.

You can determine what your chart displays by choosing a layout. For example, the layout you choose determines whether your chart displays a title, where the title displays, whether your chart has a legend, where the legend displays, whether the chart has axis labels and so on. Excel provides several layouts from which you can choose.

Change the Style of a Chart

A style is a set of formatting options. You can use a style to change the color and format of your chart. Excel 2007 has several predefined styles that you can use. They are numbered from left to right, starting with 1, which is located in the upper-left corner.

When you click a chart, handles appear on the right and left sides, the top and bottom, and the corners of the chart. You can drag the handles on the top and bottom of the chart to increase or decrease the height of the chart. You can drag the handles on the left and right sides to increase or decrease the width of the chart. You can drag the handles on the corners to increase or decrease the size of the chart proportionally. You can change the position of a chart by clicking on an unused area of the chart and dragging.

Move a Chart to a Chart Sheet

By default, when you create a chart, Excel embeds the chart in the active worksheet. However, you can move a chart to another worksheet or to a chart sheet. A chart sheet is a sheet dedicated to a particular chart. By default Excel names each chart sheet sequentially, starting with Chart1. You can change the name.

Exercise 16

Exercise 20

Below are data for the median family income in the United States by Race and Hispanic Origin, for the years 1972-1987. The data are in current dollars.

1. Convert the current dollar figures into constant dollars (i.e., control for inflation). The formula for converting constant dollars into current dollars is: constant dollars = current dollars/(CPI-U * 0.01). Calculate constant dollars for each of the categories: All Families, White, Black, and Hispanic. (The CPI-U figures have a 1982-84 as the base year. Therefore, the constant dollars will be in 1982-84 dollars.)

2. Create one line graph to compare the trends for the three racial/ethnic groups (i.e., White, Black, Hispanic) (use the constant dollar figures).

Year	All Families 11116	White 11549	Black 6864	Hispanic 8183	CPI-U 41.8
1973	12051	12595	7269	8715	44.4
1974	12902	13408	8006	9540	49.3

1977	16009	16740	9563	11421	60.6
1978	17640	18368	10879	12566	65.2
1979	19587	20439	11574	14169	72.6
