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.
