    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.

                       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.
