                  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.
