5 Page 5 Chart What is a chart? Most spreadsheet programs can automatically create charts from the values and labels in a worksheet. The chart remains linked to this data, which means that any changes made to the data are automatically reflected in the chart. Charts are useful for: Summarizing numeric information Detecting trends over time (for example, temperature at different times of the year) Searching for patterns among a large number of figures Viewing relationships between different variables (for example, price versus sales volume)

6 Page 6 Chart types Here are different chart types that you can find from the chart wizard.
