Excel Graphs

There are a lot of graphs in excel that could help you to organize your information and have a better idea of the data that you gained.

Some exameples of graphs are: bar graph, pie graph,   line graph,  scatter plot graph, column graph, area chart, stock chart, doughnut chart, bubble chart, etc.

 

The graphs more use are the bar graph, line graph and finally the pie graph.

Bar Graph

Bar graphs are most often used to show amounts or the number of times a value occurs. The amounts are displayed using a vertical bar or rectangle. The taller the bar, the greater number of times the value occurs.

Line Graph

Line graphs are often used to plot changes in data over time, such as temperature changes or daily changes in stock market prices. They can also be used to plot data recorded from scientific experiments.

Pie Graph

The circle of pie charts represents 100%. The circle is subdivided into slices representing data values. The size of each slice shows what part of the 100% it represents. Pie charts can be used anytime you want to show what percent a particular item represents of a data series.
