High-Low-Close stock chart Illustrates stock prices. It requires three series of values in the correct order: high, low, and then close. Open-High-Low-Close stock chart Requires four series of values in the correct order: open, high, low, and then close.
Volume-High-Low-Close stock chart Requires four series of values in the correct order: volume, high, low, and then close. Volume-Open-High-Low-Close stock chart Requires five series of values in the correct order: volume, open, high, low, and then close.
Data that is arranged in columns or rows on an Excel sheet can be plotted in a surface chart. Color bands in a surface chart do not represent the data series. They represent the difference between the values. This chart shows a 3-D view of the data, which can be imagined as a rubber sheet stretched over a 3-D column chart.
Wireframe 3-D surface chart Shows only the lines. A wireframe 3-D surface chart is not easy to read, but this chart type is useful for faster plotting of large data sets. Contour chart Surface charts viewed from above, similar to 2-D topographic maps. Wireframe contour chart Surface charts viewed from above. Wireframe contour charts are not easy to read. In a radar chart, each category has its own value axis radiating from the center point.
Lines connect all the values in the same series. Radar chart Displays changes in values in relation to a center point. Radar with markers Displays changes in values in relation to a center point with markers. Filled radar chart Displays changes in values in relation to a center point, and fills the area covered by a data series with color. For more information, see Create a map chart.

For more information, see Create a box and whisker chart. They show and compare data in the same manner. The only difference is that these chart types display cylinder, cone, and pyramid shapes instead of rectangles. Exploded pie chart Displays the contribution of each value to a total while emphasizing individual values.
Exploded pie charts can be displayed in 3-D format. You can change the pie explosion setting for all slices and individual slices. However, you cannot move the slices of an exploded pie manually. Clustered bar chart Compares values across categories. Stacked bar chart Shows the relationship of individual items to the whole. They show and compare data the same manner. The only difference is that these chart types display cylinder, cone, and pyramid shapes instead of horizontal rectangles.
Scatter chart with markers only Compares pairs of values. A bubble chart is a kind of xy scatter chart, where the size of the bubble represents the value of a third variable.
Bubble chart or bubble chart with 3-D effect Compares sets of three values instead of two. High-low-close stock chart Illustrates stock prices. Open-high-low-close stock chart Requires four series of values in the correct order: open, high, low, and then close. Volume-high-low-close stock chart Requires four series of values in the correct order: volume, high, low, and then close. Volume-open-high-low-close stock chart Requires five series of values in the correct order: volume, open, high, low, and then close.
Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole. Doughnut chart Displays data in rings, where each ring represents a data series. Exploded doughnut chart Displays the contribution of each value to a total while emphasizing individual values.
However, they can contain more than one data series. Create a chart with recommended charts. For a description of each chart type, select an option from the following drop-down list.
A column chart typically displays categories along the horizontal category axis and values along the vertical value axis, as shown in this chart: Types of column charts Clustered column and 3-D clustered column A clustered column chart shows values in 2-D columns. Use this chart when you have categories that represent: Ranges of values for example, item counts.
Types of line charts Line and line with markers Shown with or without markers to indicate individual data values, line charts can show trends over time or evenly spaced categories, especially when you have many data points and the order in which they are presented is important. Notes: Line charts work best when you have multiple data series in your chart—if you have only one data series, consider using a scatter chart instead.
Consider using a pie chart when: You have only one data series. None of the values in your data are negative. Almost none of the values in your data are zero values. You have no more than seven categories, all of which represent parts of the whole pie.
Types of pie charts Pie and 3-D pie Pie charts show the contribution of each value to a total in a 2-D or 3-D format. Types of doughnut charts Doughnut Doughnut charts show data in rings, where each ring represents a data series. Consider using a bar chart when: The axis labels are long.
The values that are shown are durations. Types of bar charts Clustered bar and 3-D clustered bar A clustered bar chart shows bars in 2-D format. Types of area charts Area and 3-D area Shown in 2-D or in 3-D format, area charts show the trend of values over time or other category data. Consider using a scatter chart when: You want to change the scale of the horizontal axis.
You want to make that axis a logarithmic scale. Values for horizontal axis are not evenly spaced. There are many data points on the horizontal axis.
Types of scatter charts Scatter This chart shows data points without connecting lines to compare pairs of values. Type of bubble charts Bubble or bubble with 3-D effect Both of these bubble charts compare sets of three values instead of two, showing bubbles in 2-D or 3-D format without using a depth axis.
Types of stock charts High-low-close This stock chart uses three series of values in the following order: high, low, and then close. Types of surface charts 3-D surface This chart shows a 3-D view of the data, which can be imagined as a rubber sheet stretched over a 3-D column chart.
Type of radar charts Radar and radar with markers With or without markers for individual data points, radar charts show changes in values relative to a center point. Type of histogram charts Histogram The histogram chart shows the distribution of your data grouped into frequency bins.
Box and Whisker charts Office and newer versions only. Funnel charts show values across multiple stages in a process. Type of combo charts Clustered column — line and clustered column — line on secondary axis With or without a secondary axis, this chart combines a clustered column and line chart, showing some data series as columns and others as lines in the same chart. Which version of Office are you using? Newer versions Office for Mac The vertical axis Y-axis always displays numeric values and the horizontal axis X-axis displays time or other category.
The first image shows the Line with Markers chart of our single data series. The Line Chart is equally effective in displaying trends for multiple series as shown in the above Line Chart without markers. Notice that each line is a different color. Though not as colorful as the other charts, it is easy to see how effective the Line Chart in showing a trend for a single series, and comparing trends for multiple series of data values. The Bar Chart is like a Column Chart lying on its side.
The horizontal axis of a Bar Chart contains the numeric values. The first chart below is the Bar Chart for our single series, Flowers. When to use a Bar Chart versus a Column Chart depends on the type of data and user preference. Sometimes it is worth the time to create both charts and compare the results.
However, Bar Charts do tend to display and compare a large number of series better than the other chart types. All Bar Charts are available in 2-D and 3-D formats. As with the other chart types, new versions of Excel provide the option of using cylinders, pyramids, or cones instead of bars. Area Charts are like Line Charts except that the area below the plot line is solid.
And like Line Charts, Area Charts are used primarily to show trends over time or other category. The chart at left is an Area Chart for our single series. The chart at right is our 3-D Area Chart and effectively displays our three series. In many cases, the 2-D version of the Area Chart displays multiple series of data poorly as series with lesser values may be completely hidden. As the name suggests, the pie graph is a display of data in the form of a pie or circle.
This graph type is used for showing proportions of a whole. For example, if we want to compare who did how much work in a team, we would use a pie graph to display it in an easy way to understand.
We can also use different types of pie graphs such as a 3D pie graph, pie of pie, bar of pie or a doughnut graph to represent the same data. The next one in the list is a column graph, also called a bar graph in statistics. We use these different types of graphs where we need to see and compare values across a range. The same data that we used in the pie graph example would look like this:.
These types of graphs can be used for expanded datasets. There are 3D version as well as horizontal versions of these graphs in excel. The next type of graph we are going to discuss is called a line graph. This type of graph is used when we need to visualize data like an increasing or decreasing series over a period.
This is an excellent graph in Excel to use for representing trends and comparing performance. For example, if we wanted to see how the current rise compares to the last raise for different people in the earlier examples, we would get something like this:.
Stacked lines like stacked columns are used to represent percentages instead of the actual values. In this lesson, you'll learn how to insert charts and modify them so they communicate information effectively. Excel workbooks can contain a lot of data , and this data can often be difficult to interpret. For example, where are the highest and lowest values? Are the numbers increasing or decreasing? The answers to questions like these can become much clearer when data is represented as a chart.
Excel has various types of charts, so you can choose one that most effectively represents your data. Optional: You can download this example for extra practice. Click the arrows in the slideshow below to view examples of some of the types of charts available in Excel. Excel has a variety of chart types, each with its own advantages. Click the arrows to see some of the different types of charts available in Excel.
Column charts use vertical bars to represent data. They can work with many different types of data, but they're most frequently used for comparing information. Line charts are ideal for showing trends. The data points are connected with lines, making it easy to see whether values are increasing or decreasing over time.
Pie charts make it easy to compare proportions. Each value is shown as a slice of the pie, so it's easy to see which values make up the percentage of a whole. Surface charts allow you to display data across a 3D landscape. They work best with large data sets, allowing you to see a variety of information at the same time.
