Types of Charts in Excel
Excel provides a variety of different chart formats, such as Bar, Column, Pie, Line, Area, Doughnut,
Scatter, Surface, and Radar.
Line Chart: It is used to show trends over a period
of time. It is similar to plotting a graph on a graph
paper, with its values on the X and Y axes. It uses
connecting dots to display trends over a period of
time.
Column Chart: It displays data in the form of vertical
bars. It is used to show changes in data over a period
of time or for comparison among different data
items. The categories are represented on the
horizontal axis, and the values are represented on
the vertical axis.
Pie Chart: It is a circular chart divided into slices, with
each slice showing how big a value is compared to the
whole chart. It always shows only one data series. It is
useful when you want to emphasise on a significant
element.
Bar Chart: It displays data in the form of long
rectangular rods called bars and is used to illustrate
comparison among individual items. In this chart,
categories are represented on the vertical axis and
values are represented on the horizontal axis.
Area Chart: It is used to display quantitative
magnitude of data graphically. It is based on the
features of the line chart. It basically emphasises
the area between the line and the axis with the help
of colours, textures, pictures, etc.
