    CHARTS

                     Representing data in the pictorial form has always been an effective way to attract the attention of
                     readers. Charts in Excel are a pictorial representation of data and are also called graphs. It is much
                     simpler for us to observe patterns in the form of charts or graphs rather than examining the textual
                     data.

                                ADVANTAGES OF CHARTS

                     Charts are advantageous in the following ways:
                       A lot of information can be displayed in an easy-to-understand format.
                       Data can be presented in an attractive way to attract the attention of readers.

                        A chart is more informative and enables us to take instant decisions by analysing the data easily.

                     A chart can be understood without difficulty if it is clearly marked. There are many components of a
                     chart. They are discussed below:
