BIBLIOGRAPHY
 INTRODUCTION
CHARTS (OR GRAPHS) ARE THE PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION OF WORKSHEET DATA. THE
CHARTS REPRESENT WORKSHEET DATA IN GRAPHICAL MANNER, RESULTING IN BETTER
PERCEPTION OR UNDERSTANDING OF DATA.

IN THIS PROJECT WE HAVE CREATED A TABLE NAMED AS ‘SALES BY COMPANY’,IN WHICH THE
FIRST ROWS HAS THREE DATA WHICH CONTAINS THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS, AND THE FIRST
COLUMN CONTAINS NAMES OF OUR COMAPANIES .WHERE THE REST OF CELL OF THE TABLE
CONTAIN THE SALES OF EACH COMPANIES WITH RESPECT TO THE YEARS .
 COMPONENTS OF A CHART
THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF CHARTS ARE:
❖ X-AXIS: THIS IS THE HORIZONTAL AXIS KNOWN AS CATEGORY AXIS.

❖ Y-AXIS: THIS IS THE VERTICAL AXIS KNOWN AS VALUE AXIS. THE X

AND Y AXES DIVIDE THE XY PLANE INTO FOUR QUADRANTS.

❖ DATA SERIES: THIS IS THE SET OF VALUES YOU WANT TO PLOT IN

THE CHART.

❖ CHART AREA: THIS IS THE TOTAL REGION SURROUNDING THE

CHART.

❖ PLOT AREA: THIS IS THE AREA OF CHART IN WHICH YOUR DATA IS

PLOTTED. THE PLOT AREA IS BOUNDED BY AXEX IN A 2-D CHART.

❖ CHART TITLE: THIS IS THE DESCRIPTIVE TEXT AIMED AT HELPING

USER IDENTIFY THE CHART.

❖ AXES TITLES: THESE ARE THE TITLE GIVEN TO THREE AXES THAT
IS X , Y AND Z AXES.

❖ LEGEND: THE LEGENDS HELP YOU IDENTIFY VARIOUS PLOTTTED

DATA SERIES. EACH SERIES CAN BE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED BY
ASSIGNING A UNIQUE COLOUR OR PATTERN. THIS UNIQUE COLOUR
OR PATTERN WHICH IDENTIFIES A DATA SERIES IS, KNOWN AS
LEGEND.

❖ GRIDLINES: THESE ARE THE HORIZONTAL AND VERICAL LINES IN

THE PLOT AREA. THE GRIDLINES ARE INSERTED IN THE CHART TO
ENHANCE ITS READABILITY.

❖ DATA LABEL: THIS IS A LABLE THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION ABOUT A DATA MARKER, WHICH REPRESENTS A
SINGLE DATA ITEM OR VALUE COMING FROM A WORKSHEET CELL.
 INSERTING CHARTS IN ELECTRONIC
SPREADSHEET
TO INSERT A CHART IN AN ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET WE HAVE
TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
❖ STEP 1. SELECT THE CELLS THAT CONTAIN THE SOURCE DATA FOR THE
CHART.NOW , IF WE WANT THE COLUMN AND ROW LABELS TO APPEAR IN THE
CHART,INCLUDE THYE CELL CONTAINING THEM IN
THE SELECTION.

❖ STEP 2. NOW CLICK THE CHART ICON STANDARD TOOLBAR

❖ STEP 3. NOW THE CHART WIZARD DIALOG POPS UP. FROM THE CHART WIZARD
DIALOG BOX ,SLECT CHART TYPE DIALOG, SELECT THE DESIRED CHART TYPE
AND SUB-TYPE .AFTER SELECTING THE DESIRED CHART TYPE, CLICK ON ‘‘NEXT
>>’’TO MOVE ON THE NEXT STEP.

❖ Step 4. AFTER WE CLICK ON “NEXT>>”BUTTON,DATA RANGE DIALOG POPS UP.IN

THIS DIALOG ,IF WE WANT TO CHANG THE DATA RANGE FOR THE CHART,CLICK
ON THE DATA RANGE BOX,AND THEN SELECT THE SOURCE DATA RANGE ON YOUR
WORKSHEET . ONCE WE ARE THROUGH, CLICK ON “NEXT>>”TO MOVE ON THE
NEXT STEP.

❖ STEP 5. IN DATA SERIES, WE CAN CHANGE THE SOURCE RANGE OF ALL DATA
SERIES SEPARATELY, INCLUDING THEIR LABELS. WE CAN ALSO CHANGE THE
RANGE OF THE CATEGORIES.

❖ STEP 6.IN THIS STEP , WE CAN SPECIFY VARIOUS CHART ELEMENTS THAT IS ,
TITLE OF THE CHART ,SUBTITLE OF THE CHART TITLES FOR X AND Y AXES AND
POSITION OF LEGEND .PLEASE NOTE THAT IF WE DONOT ENTER TITLE ,SUBTITLE
AND AXES TITLES THEN WON’T TO ADD/EDIT THE TITLES LATER ON WHEN THE
CHART IS READY.AND FINALLY AFTER ALL THIS ,CLICK ON FINISH BUTTON TO
FINISH THE CHART CREATION PROCESS .THE MOMENT WE CLICK FINISH ,WE WILL
BE ABLE TO SEE THE CHART THAT WE HAVE CREATED.

NOW, LET US DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHARTS THAT ARE PRESENT ON “OPEN
OFFICE” WORKSHEET (CALC). THERE ARE 10 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHARTS. THEY ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
→ AREA CHART.
→ COLUMN CHART.
→ BAR CHART.
→ LINE CHART.
→ PIE CHART.
→ DONUT CHART.
→ XY SCATTER CHART.
→ NET CHART.
→ STOCK CHART.
→ COLUMN & LINE CHART.
 AREA CHART
❖ AREA CHART: THIS CHART EMPHASIZES THE MAGNITUDE OF CHANGE OVER
TIME. AN AREA CHART OR AREA GRAPHS DISPLAYS GRAPHICALLY
QUANTITATIVE DATA. IT IS BASED ON THE LINE CHART. THE AREA BETWEEN
AXIS AND LINE ARE COMMONLY, TEXTURES AND HATCHING.
 COLUMN CHART
❖ COLUMN CHART: A COLUMN CHART IS A METHOD OF DISPLAYING DATA WITH
CATEGORIES REPRESENTED BY A RECTANGLE—SOMETIMES CALLED VERTICAL BAR
CHARTS. THEY ALLOW EASY COMPARISONS AMONG A NUMBER OF ITEMS AND TRENDS
ANALYSIS. COLUMN CHARTS MAKE THINGS EASY, IMMEDIATE, AND UNDERSTANDABLE.
 BAR CHART
❖ BAR CHART: BAR CHARTS USUALLY PRESENT CATEGORICAL VARIABLES, DISCRETE
VARIABLES OR CONTINUOUS VARIABLES GROUPED IN CLASS INTERVALS. THEY CONSIST
OF AN AXIS AND A SERIES OF LABELLED HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL BARS. THE BARS
DEPICT FREQUENCIES OF DIFFERENT VALUES OF A VARIABLE OR SIMPLY THE DIFFERENT
VALUES THEM SELVES.

❖
 LINE CHART
❖ LINE CHART: A LINE CHART IS A TYPE OF CHART USED TO SHOW INFORMATION THAT
CHANGES OVER TIME. LINE CHARTS ARE CREATED BY PLOTTING A SERIES OF SEVERAL
POINTS AND CONNECTING THEM WITH A STRAIGHT LINE. LINE CHARTS ARE USED TO
TRACK CHANGES OVER SHORT AND LONG PERIODS.
 PIE CHART
❖ PIE CHART: THE “PIE CHART” IS ALSO KNOWN AS A “CIRCLE CHART”, DIVIDING THE
CIRCULAR STATISTICAL GRAPHIC INTO SECTORS OR SECTIONS TO ILLUSTRATE THE
NUMERICAL PROBLEMS. EACH SECTOR DENOTES A PROPORTIONATE PART OF THE
WHOLE. TO FIND OUT THE COMPOSITION OF SOMETHING, PIE-CHART WORKS THE BEST
AT THAT TIME.
 DONUT CHART
❖ DONUT CHART: A DONUT CHART, IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM, IS A PIE CHART WITH ITS
CENTER CUT OUT TO LOOK LIKE A DONUT. AT FIRST GLANCE, THIS MAY NOT SEEM TO
SERVE A MUCH GREATER PURPOSE THAN TO CREATE AESTHETIC VARIETY. HOWEVER, A
DONUT CHART HELPS AVOID CONFUSION AROUND THE AREA PARAMETER THAT OFTEN
TRIPS PEOPLE UP IN A PIE CHART.
 XY SCATTER
❖ XY SCATTER: A SCATTER CHART, ALSO CALLED A SCATTER PLOT, IS A CHART THAT
SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO VARIABLES. THEY ARE AN INCREDIBLY
POWERFUL CHART TYPE, ALLOWING VIEWERS TO IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTAND A
RELATIONSHIP OR TREND, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN ALMOST ANY OTHER
 NET CHART
❖ NET CHART: A NET CHART IS SIMILAR TO POLAR OR RADAR GRAPHS. THEY ARE USEFUL
FOR COMPARING DATA THAT ARE NOT TIME SERIES, BUT SHOW DIFFERENT
CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS VARIABLES IN A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT OR DIRECTION.
 STOCK CHART
❖ STOCK CHART: STOCK CHARTS ARE GRAPHS THAT SHOW HOW A COMPANY'S PUBLICLY
TRADED SHARES ARE PERFORMING. THESE CHARTS CAN SHOW A COMPANY'S STOCK
PERFORMANCE OVER TIME PERIODS RANGING FROM SEVERAL YEARS TO A FEW DAYS.
 COLUMN AND LINE CHART
❖ COLUMN AND LINE CHART: COLUMN AND LINE CHARTS ARE ESSENTIALLY A
DUAL AXIS CHART THAT COMBINES A COLUMN AND LINE CHART. DUAL AXIS
CHARTS CAN BE USEFUL WHEN COMPARING VALUES THAT HAVE
DIFFERENT UNITS OF MEASURE. START YOUR FIRST PROJECT
.
 CONCLUSION
CHARTS ENABLE YOU TO VISUALLY COMPARE MULTIPLE
SETS OF DATA. CHARTS CAN HELP PEOPLE BETTER
UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER INFORMATION. MANY
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A PICTURE MORE QUICKLY THAN
BLOCKS OF TEXT. A COMPELLING CHART CAN HELP US TO
MAKE OUR POINT MORE CONVINCINGLY AND LEND
CREDIBILITY TO OUR PRESENTATION.
