                           USING CHARTS


                 A chart is an effective way to display data in pictorial form. It makes it easier to draw
                 comparisons and analyse the growth, relationships and trends among the values in a
                 table. Excel provides a variety of different chart formats such as Bar, Column, Pie, Line,
                 Area, Doughnut, Scatter, Surface and Radar.


                 COMPONENTS OF A CHART

                     Chart Title: It describes the main aim and content of the chart.

                      X-axis: It is the horizontal axis of the chart. It is also called the category axis.
                     Y-axis: It is the vertical axis of the chart. It is also called the value axis.

                      Plot Area: It is the rectangular area bounded by the two axes. It contains the actual

                    chart and includes the plotted data, data series, category and value axis.
                      Data Series: It is related to the set of values. The bars or slices represent the data values.

                      Data Labels: These include data values, category name, series name, legend keys and
                    values from cells.

                     Gridlines: These can be either horizontal or vertical lines depending on the selected
                    chart type. It makes it easier to read and understand the values.
