Charts
• Data is often better explained through visualization as either a graph or a chart.
• Excel makes creating charts easy:– Column Charts– Pie Charts– Bar Graphs– Line Graphs– Area Graphs– Scatter Plots

Pie Charts
• A pie chart is useful when you are trying to show proportions.
• How much of the sales revenue comes from each client?
• Who are our largest clients?

Transparency to Create a Minimal Display
• Useful for creating a worksheet display that minimizes chart details and simply shows a small graphic to support a set of numbers

Column Chart• Also known as a bar chart, with rectangular bars
of lengths usually proportional to the magnitudes or frequencies of what they represent.
• The bars are vertically oriented in a column chart• Useful for showing data changes over a period of
time, or illustrating comparisons• Categories organized on horizontal axis• Values on vertical axis

Line Graph
• Often used to plot changes in data over time such as weekly temperature changes or stock market prices
• If plotting changes over time:– Time is plotted along the horizontal or x-axis– Data is plotted as individual points along the
vertical axis

X/Y Scatter Plot
• Useful for determining how things relate to one another e.g. profits vs. expenditures, height vs. weight, etc.
• Each data point has more than one attribute– Person (height, weight)– Quarter (profit, expenditure)
• Each attribute on single axis

Assigning a Series to a Secondary Axis
• A secondary value axis can make it easier to compare data series that have deviating ranges.
• Example: a series showing number of units sold per year has a range that is much higher than cost per unit per year that it’s hard to see how they relate to each other. Putting one of the series on a secondary axis makes it possible to compare
CS1100

Charts & Graphs 23
• The line graph on the left shows two data series with widely differing ranges, so it’s hard to compare them.
• The graph on the right plots one series on a secondary axis making it much easier to compare.
• To move a series to a secondary axis, right-click on the series, click Format Data Series, select Series Options then select Secondary Axis.

Trendlines, Error Bars, etc.
Excel also provides statistical analysis tools via the Layout tab / Analysis section (Excel 2010) or Design tab / Add Chart Element icon (Excel 2013).– Trendlines show the “best fit” for the data.– Error bars show
“confidence intervals” around data points.

Sparklines• New to Excel 2010, we can also
create charts or graphs that live within one cell
• Their inventor, Edward Tufte, describes them as “intense, simple, word-sized graphics”
• Meant to be embedded into what they are describing
• Presents the general shape of variation in some measurement, in a simple and highly condensed way

Histograms• Histograms are a specialized type of bar graph
used to summarize groups of data.• In some cases, you may collect a large number
of data points for a single level of an independent variable. – That is, you take the same measurement over and
over again. For example, when a lack of precision in measuring process does not give a good estimate of the true value with only a single measurement.
CS1100

Charts & Graphs 36
Binning• How to summarize the results of these
measurements? • One way might be to simply calculate the average of
all these measurements. – This would not, however, give you a good feel for how the
data is distributed. • A distribution graph, or histogram, allows you to see
how many measurements fall within set ranges, or bins, of the dependent variable. – usually depicted as a bar chart, with one bar representing
the count of how many measurements fall in a single bin.

together• The bins may be similar to the groups of the
lookup tables

Compute Frequencies• Use the FREQUENCY array function to fill
in the data column. (Order of the steps is important)
• First: select the range for the Frequency plus one extra cell (extra cell for values that are greater than the highest interval in the data_array.)
• Second: type in the frequency function, =FREQUENCY(data_array, bin_array)
• Third: press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER for Windows, or CMD-ENTER on Mac
